The great Western railroad strike in
system has assumed a new phase.
Thirtytwo hundred miles of railway
were tied up in exactly ten minutes by the
Brotherhood OF Locomotive Engineers

were brought to standstill. a stretch

the trunk lines further west operated
by the company. In giving the notice
to grievances OF any character whatever
were mentioned. This was for the mo-
ment, at least, apparently inexplica-
bic, for the agreement recently en-
tered into between the company and the
men provides that thirty days notice
shall be given whenever conference is
wanted, and before the men have the right
to withdraw from the service Of the com.
pany. About five hundred men, including
both engineers and iremen, quit work.
Their stoppage virtually brought to a
standstill probably not less than ten
thousand persons.

The johnson Normal School.

The closing exercises of the fall
and winter terms of the johnson Nor
NAL School began Sunday, Jan. Is,
with a sermon before the graduating
class by Rev. A. A. Smith. Monday
and Tuesday were occupied with
written examinations, which kept
both students and state examiners
busy for the two days. Wednesday,
at the oral examinations, the pupils
were allowed to impart some of the
knowledge they had gained to the
large number of visitors present.
These several examinations showed
that faithful work had been done the
past term by both the teachers and
pupils. Wednesday evening the b.
class gave their programme very ac-
ceptably to full house. Thursday,
the day to which the AS and their
friends had so long been looking for
ward, dawned at last. The gradu-
ating exercises were from 10 to IL,
and the class day from 2 to 4. The
writer had attended many such exer-
cises here since The Normal School
was founded and believes this the
best of all. Not that the class was
better endowed by nature than some
others, but its members gave evidence
hat they had been apt, tireless pu-
pills under competent, pains-taking
teachers. The class numbered Is.
No larger class has ever been gradu-
ated from this institution, and GER
tainly none more earnest and eager
to do faithfully the work assigned.

tener throughout. His remarks TO
the graduates were fatherly and sim
cere, and withal patriotic in the
broadcast sense. The governor and
committee, with the graduating class
and faculty were guests of the ladies
of the NJ. +. church, and after par
taking of a bountiful repast, a pleas
ant social hour was passed. A fit
