corrcctly.l
Norfolk, Sept. 2a-The following
problem was part of the work in
arithmetic in the school few days
since:
"a man sold fifty sofas for $2,250.
He sold twenty-five of them at gain
of 90 per cent and twenty-five at n
loss of 90 per cent Did he gain or
lose?"
In the solution of this problem find
that he sold the first lot for 81 $50 and
the second lot for 5000, making $2,250
On the first lot he gained 90 per cent,
consequently they cost him SLIPS
On the second lot he lost 20 per cent
and they cost him $1,125., making the
cost of the fifty sofas $2,25O He sold
them for $2,250, and did not gain or
lose n cent.
The solution has been declared
wrong by the teacher and superintan
dent and | understand by the text
book, and has been the cause of con,
siderable discussion. Now | challenge
any person in Norfolk, whether con,

to hear the evidence. Among the
twenty-one charges against Black
more are for using profane language
with great fluency, kissing one mem

other that she looked too sweet for
anything, and using tobacco. Mr..
Blackmore was suspended from the

EVERY EAR Of CORN SAFE
YESTERDAYS HOT WIND PUT A
GOLDEN TOUCH ON KERNELS.
BIGGEST IN STATES HISTORY

Frost May Come Any Night Now With.
out Seriously Affecting the Great
Bumper Yield of Maize in Northern
Nebraska-Heat Of Yesterday.
The corn crop of northern Nebraska
is safe.
Yesterdays warm breath from the
above. baked the kernels as they stood
in the fields just as a flame bakes
griddle cakes-to a crisp hard golden
color.
And now the frost king may drop
down upon this section any old night
he sees fit, for the heaviest coating of
whiteness that he could lather over
the earth would do no harm. The day
is saved, and King Corn is victor once
again.
Yesterday was one of the hottest
days of the season, and it seemed hot
ter than it was. The hot wind swept
in from the south just like draughts
off n red hot oven, and the heat did
business with the growing grain.
Rural carriers report that all along
derfully within the past twenty-four
hours, and that it is universally out of
danger. This means that north Ne
braska has today in the field all fin
ished and out of harms way, the big
gest bumper crop of all bumpers ever
Ia, In l.,
Two weeks ago today the weather
bulletin issued by the agricultural bu-
reau told Nebraska that two weeks
more of warm weather, without frost,
was needed-and now the two weeks
have come and gone. And, true to
his word. the weather man has com
pletely ripened the corn.
Rain Came Today.
An early morning rain came before
sunrise today to break the heated
spell of yesterday, and the hot winds
were all washed away by the falling
water. The rain was not a particular
ly heavy one, but it came in a steady
downpour. The streets were made
muddy again and the public walking
along North Fourth street had another
chance to get its feet wet
"The ears on the corn" said Rural
Carrier Show, "are all dried and ready
to be plucked"
On O'NeiIl Short Line.
Concerning the crop situation along
the Great Northern, a report says:
The Omaha and Great Northern rail
roads are making exceptionally good
reports of the Nebraska crops. Never
in the history of northeastern Ne
braska have the reports been as favor
able.
This good crop report extends back
into Nebraska more miles than ever
before, and the crops in Antelope, Dix
on and Cedar counties in Nebraska
are far better than expected.
The Great Northern is making prep,
arations to handle large crop from
the O'Neill line, where the elevators
are swamped with grain. In small
towns such as Brunswick, Neb., the
grain men are covered up with the
crop. and though this town has but
600 inhabitants, there are three large
elevators operated on the lines of the
Great Northern, and a large amount
of the grain raised will pass through
Sioux City to st. Paul

CAVANAUGH HURT IN RACE.
WELL KNOWN vERDloRE HORSE.
MAN MAY DIE OF INJURIES.
DRIVING FAST, REIN BROKE
A Serious Accident Occurred on the
Track at the Creighton Fair Yester-
day Afternoon - Two Ball Games
Have Been PLAYED at the Fair,

have been Played at tno falr.
Creighton, Neb., Sept. 23-Special to
Tho News: Pat Cavanaugh OF Verdi
gre. well known horseman in this
section OF the state, was so seriously
hurt in race at the county fair here
yesterday afternoon that 1t Is feared
he may die.
Serious internal injuries, a broken
leg and spraned ankle were sus-
talned by Mr. Cavanaugh. The acci-
dent was caused by the breaking OF
his right rein just as he rounded into
the home stretch on the last heat of
the race.
When the rein gave way, the force
on the left line drew the race horse
sharply into the fence and the shock
of the turn hurled the driver high into
the air and then beneath the sulky.
He was driving his own horse. He is
not expected to live.
Ball Games.
In ball games at the fair, Bloomfield
beat Creighton to 0 and Plainview
won from Bloomfield to 6. This af-
ternoon Creighton and Bloomfield will
play again.
During the game yesterday John
Hostetter was struck in the lip by a
pitched ball. His upper lip was cut
open and so badly gashed that 1t had
to be sewed together.
The fair will close this afternoon.
