An Academy.

An Academy.
We understand that Rev. II. w.
Troy is working in the interest of a
plan he has in mind to establish an
academy of learning at Wahpeton.
If he goes on with the plan it will
require a beginning of fifty students,
and then he proposes to have such a
corps of teachers as will enable him
to put the students through a regu-
lar academic course. This is some
thing Mr.. Troy has thought of for
two years, had it in his mind in fact
when he purchased his own parson-
age near the church more than a
year ago, and as he has been at the
head of high schooM and graded
schools has had experience, and is
in a position to pretty well under
stand what he is talking about.
Not only himself, but his wife, we
believe, is teacher and would like
ly be of material assistance to him
in the organization and commence
ment. An institution of this sort
would be of incalculable benefit to
Wahpeton, and we not only think
that the way to commence should be
in a small way, so to speak, but that
Mr.. Troy is perhaps the very best
man in the country to organize it
and build it up. 1t is hoped that
he may be able to put his plans
into execution.

The Bank Matter.

It is a fact that Col. w. H.
Hayward has transferred all his
claims to the Wahpeton mill. and
elevator to the bank folks, presum-
ably for the benefit of the banks
creditors.
Col. Thomas of Fargo has been
appointed attorney for Col. John d.
Benton, receiver of the First Ma
onal bank of this city, and was at
Wahpeton Tuesday advising with
the receiver. The colonel says that
Mr.. Benton is one of the best posi-
BILE men that could have been ap-
pointed. He will 60 clear to the
bottom of everything and make
all possible for the banks creditors,
etc. The colonel would express no
opinion as to what the bank would
pay. Our opinion is, however, that
it is not likely to pay much of any
thing. That's the way it looks to
an outsider at the p resent time.
J. w. Hayward was arrested
again yesterday at the instance of
J. H. Miller, who it seems owed the
bank a note of $500, due the 18th
inst, and just prior to the breakup,
learning of distress, dropped into
the bank saying that although his
note was hardly due he would pay
it, handing in $3.50 with the remark
that the $50 be placed to his account,
and the $500 placed to his credit.
Assistant cashier Seager, took the
money and making an excuse that
he was busy would do as Mr.. Miller
requested and look the note up after
banking hours when he had more
time. Shortly after this the institu-
tion suspended and Mr.. Mi ller soon
learned that his note was in St.
Paul rediscounted. Hence the ar
rest. Mr.. Hayward waived exami-
nation and the bonds were placed
at $500, securing John Canham,
Agent, st. John and DR.. Geo. M.
Hanly, as sureties.

A FRIGHTENED HUNTER.
How a -Serf-Possessed American Managed
Three SayapaS.

Three Savages.
The island of Formosa, off the coast
of China, is divided, east and west, by
ridge of mountains, like backbone
The western portion is inhabited by
quiet, industrious agriculturists, while
the other side of the mountains is
peopled by race of savages, who have
the reputation of being cannibals. A
short time ago a United States expe-
dictionary steamer visited the island,
and a party of officers went ashore on
the west coast. The beach was crowd
ed with people-men, women and chill
dren-the males of almost every age
being armed, as they exist in state of
perpetual warfare with their savage
neighbors of the east coast. One of
the party, in describing the visit, says:
Whenever we evinced disposition
to ascend the bushy sides of the neigh
boring hills, they became greatly
alarmed, caught hold of our clothes,
threw themselves in our paths and
made signs to us that our throats would
be certainly cut and we roasted by bad
men who were very strong and fierce,
and who wore large rings in their ears.
We did not know what to make of this
at first, but Hartman, one of our party,
who had wandered off by himself in
search of snipe, rejoined US shortly be-
fore dark, and opened our eyes.
Having unconsciously wandered over
the low land and assembled a neigh
boring elevation, he had seated
himself upon fragment of rock, and
was admiring the view which opened
| before him, when his ears suddenly
caught a sound as of some animal
making it's way cautiously through the
bushes. He turned quickly, and saw a
party of threa whom he had no diff
Guilty in recognizing as "bad men,
who wore large rings IN their ears. "
Here was q fix for our innocent sports
men. He must either retire ignomini-
ously, or face boldly the unlocked for
danger. Fortunately, he was man of
nerve, and was, moreover, armed with
a shotgun, bowie knife and revolver.
Choosing, therefore, the latter alter
native, he arose with great air of
non-she-lan-cy Gas [ once heard the
word pronounced by an American who
had been to Paris, and advanced to the
nearest, a tall, fine-looking fellow, and
fixed his gaze curiousl y upon him. Hart
man says that he whistled with consider
able success portions of apopular air as
he thus went, as it were, into the lions
mouth, but never before felt such a
longing to be safely on board his ship.
He soon joined the princely-looking
savage, and as the others drew near, he
made a careful but hurried survey of
their personal appearance, exchanged
a Mexican dollar for bow and arrow
of one of them, and then leisurely re-
traced his way, until an intervening
clump of trees enabled him with safety
to call upon his legs to do their duty.
He ran for mile or more before
evincing the slightest curiosity to know
if he was followed. Youths Compam-
ion.

EDlSON'S LATEST.
The Wizards Invention for TeIegraphing
to and from Moving Trains.


have just had talk with Mr. Edi-
son, the inventor, regarding his new
invention for telegraphing to and from
moving railroad trains. The popularity
of this system is that a small battery
and small table for the operators in
strument may be placed in any railroad
car; and from these, by means of wire
leading to the ordinary metal roof of
the car, Geographic messages can be
sent through the air to the ordinary
wires that run alongside the track.
The electric current is drawn by induc-
ton either to or from the wires, and it
is of such a nature that it does not in
terfere with the currents which carry
messages along the wires in the usual
manner. Neither is it interfered with
by these currents. No matter whether
there are two wires or two hundred by
the side of the track. Messages can be
confusion All that is needed is to put
in the Edison instrument at any sta
ton along the road in order to estab-
lish communication. And this APP
paratus being near by the ordinary
telegraph instrument in the same
office. messages can be at once for
warded by the regular channel to any
station where there is no Edison ap-
paratus. On the Staten Island rail
road dispatches were sent and received
every day for a week as rapidly as they
would be in the telegraph offices that
we commonly use which have direct
wire connection with other offices. The
marvel about this system is that it re-
quires no special wire, but enables the
transmission of messages along the
common wires and through the air
space between them and any moving
train, be the space fifty or even two
hundred feet wide. The secrets of the
Edison apparatus have not been di-
vulged, but it is known that it gives to
the electric current a musical tone
which is heard through telephone re-
ceiyers. The dots and dashes of the
Morse alphabet are thus most audible
in short or long sounds, and the ordipa-
ry telegraph key is used. Mr. Edison
and his associates, William Wiley Smith
and e. L. Gilliland, are confident that
messages may be sent in this way to
stations one thousand miles distant, be-
cause the moment the current reaches
the wires it will run any distance with
out losing its efficacy. [ attended the
public exhibition andnoticed that there
was not the slightest hitch in the work
ing. There are few skeptios, but the
prevailing opinion seems to be that this
practicable invention is going to be of
great use in train-dispatching, newspa-
per reporting, police telegraph work
and ordinary business and travellers
messages. The instrument may be
placed in baggage or passenger car
and changed in few minutes from one
car to another George Parsons La
