1 $ WaJipetonTimes •rty ked River Fl-ee Press, ftstablifihert 1879 FICIAL PAP,BR OK/'COUNTV, THURSDAY, DEC 6, 1888. The district court closed Saturday .evening and .fudge Rose of imes .town, the recently appointed judge who exchanged places with .Tudge McConnell on account of tlie for mer'shaving practiced in the antes town district, presiding here the latter days of the term, gave good satisfaction, being painstaking ajnd considerate.. A very small fraction, Of the calendar, However, was passed upon. It will be a great source of satisfaction to this county at least, if the time ever conies that its court docket may be cleared up. The new district over which Judge Terapleton is presiding should do at least a little something in this direc tion, in that that district was largely carved out what this for merly contai ned. The motion for ademurreV to in dictment in the .case of theterritory vsthe officers of the First National bank of this city—for having re ceived deposits when the bank was In failing circumstances—came up for argument in the late term of court and was sustained. W. K. Purcell and P. J.McCumber having appeared for the pliantifFf, argued r|4 9jrst, that the act of the legislature of the territory finder which the de fendants were indicted did not apply to the affairs of National banks and second, that'the indictment was de fective for the reason that it did not state whether the deposits were epecial deposits or general deposits the ground being taken that a spe cial was one where a party delivered to the bank a package of money to belaid away in tact for safe keep ,ing until called for, while the gen eral deposit meant the ordinary way of doing business with a bank. This would seem to'eliminate all national bfUpk difficulties from territorial irts to United States.courts. The Are, Tuesday, which came so near destroying Henry Dietz's barn, brought to prominent notice the fact that Dakota has up to the pres ent time enjoyed a most superb au tumn season.

It is found that the step token last year in establishing a high school department was the right thing done at the right time. The four subordinate teachers in the) main building have their hands full, and the high school room contains 28 or- 30 pupils so far this year, which crowds the little room to its fullest capacity. And now Instead of the professor conducting his de partment from half-past eight a. in. to half-past twelve p. m., and put ting in the afternoons with the sub ordinate teachers, he is obliged to hold afternoon sessions, which lim its his time with the subordinates, and it would seem must give him enough to do. Rut he keeps his eye on every department, and as we have said, is pushing Wahpeton's school system right alonjr to the front. The professor met with the board Monday evening and explained that a great improvement could be in stituted by the board's passing a resolution forbidding the teachers to admit a pupil after the beginning of the given school month, and the resolution was passed. For instance it is found that at the beginning of a quarter after a holiday season, the children come straggling along for a week or two, keeping the school in a sort of turmoil and distracting the attention of the teacher from what ought to be routine work. And then again, such unevenness dis turbs the averages and the various records of the school room, until it has become a source oL' serious diffi culty, hence the correction. So that in the future parents should see to it that their children are ready to attend school the first day of the term, allowing all to start upon an even footing, and giving the teacher every opportunity to take the best advantage of her duties. And then let it be remembered that no pupil will be admitted except at the begin ning of each school month, and that these school months do not run even with the calendar months, there being a little difference, which may be ascertained without difficulty. Let parents do their duty and the teachers will do theirs. PRESIDENT KARNES. Uev. Geo. B. Karnes who was re cently induced to give up his pulpit in the Congregational church at ({rami Forks, and accept the presi dency of the (-ongregational college at Fargo, is looking after his new duties and is occasionally seen upon the streets at Wahpeton. Those in authority undoubtedly made the very best selection possible in in ducing Mr. Karnes to give up his elegant church at the Forks and take the work of instituting and placing upon its feet the proposed college. To begin with, Mr. Karnes is a thorough business man and in the second place he is a thorougly able man from every point of view, which, taken with his western ex perience and natural push, will land him away to the front in this sort of work. A very striking instance of Mr. Barnes* ability as an advanced thinker and speaker, was noted in the proceedings of the late Congre gational conference at Wahpeton, wherein it will be remembered the reverend gentlemen discoursed upon the subject of Liberalism, showing the true and false signilicance of the term, in which he handled the Ingersoll feature of the subject. And as a matter of fact the confer ence having contained probably a dozen men from the foremost ranks of the clergy of America, who to a man pronouncing the effort one of the very best ever heard on the sub ject, tends to at least establish the theological force of the man. Not only was this acknowledged here, but the Congregationalist, a paper of national reputation, issued from Boston, subsequently took the mat ter up and discussing it at length, gave Mr. Karnes a most complimen tary mention. THE TIMES does not hope to give the Wahpeton people any new ideas of the ability which Mr. Karnes is here so well knotyn to possess, but in passing him ostensibly from the pulpit, to that other and more varied field of labor, do this as a mere in timation of what the pulpit may lose, or on the other hand what, may be expected ol' the reverend gentleman when he returns to the pulpit, which we doubt not will be the ease as soon as the college is placed upon it? feet. And again there is certain ly satisfaction in the idea that should occasion present itself for a talk from the president, it may be confidently expected that such talk would be to the point. NOTICE.

The Second Shot from the Big Steel Can aim at Annapolis Results DinMrounly. ANNAPOLIS. Md., Dec. 6.—The big gun manufactured by the Pittsburg Steel company on Jan. 1? last was tested in this city Wednesday afternoon and proved a .uiiseratdo failure. The first sliot was fired at iUO p. in. The gun was charged with omjr thirty-six pounds of powder. This shot was fired all right, and its effect was a geyser of mud and earth and a conimotion among the dredg ing vessels in the bay. The second time the gun was discharged with forty-eight pounds of powder. When it was touched off a shower of mud, boards, beams and huge pieces of steel were scattered in every direction. The whole bomb-proof structure in which the gun was confined was struck by the lumps of steel from the gun and de molished like a paper box. The gun, carriage and all were buried be neath a huge pile of big beams, logs, earth, etc. A piece of steel burst off the gun nearly three feet long and two feet thick .waa thrown fifty feet away. Other pieces of steel were lying all around. The structure in which the gun had been placed, and which was demolished by the exploded gun. took fire, but the flames were soon extinguished. The breech of the gun up to several inhces in front of the trunnions was bursted to pieces. The destruction of the gun carriage, and other preparations for the test cost the Government between $5,000 and $6,000. The Pittsburg Steel company's loss is $8,300. President Joliuson, of the Pittsburg company, said he was perfectly satisfied with the fairness of the test. The gun weighed 10.316 pounds, was 16 feet long and was made of Bessemer cast steel."
