MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 3.-If We sterday's
developments indicate the final outcome
the eight-hour movement in Milwaukee
will result in a victory for the ca -penters.
The strike, which il was thought might
occur yesterday, did not mAteris lie, and
the change from the ten-hour system to
the eight-hour system was effected with
out any excitement and without any pub
lie demonstration whatever. There will
still be some uncertainty, however, until
after the mass-meeting of the unions to
be held Sunday evening at tie West Side

Pedagogues at Work.
MONDAYS SESSION.

The annual normal institute opened
this afternoon at the central school
building beginning its months work IN
der favorable conditions. There were
present about seventy-five young ladies
and gentlemen, nearly all being from
the country and all appearing in good
spirits, ready for hard study.
Supt. w. NJ. Jay, of BelOit, who will
be the conductor, was welcomed by the
older members. He was here last year
and made many friends by his genial
ways. Messrs. j. G. Wine and d. F.
Shirk, who are to assist him, also took
charge of their classes and instructed
them in their work for the term.
A new course of study has been pro-
vided and better results than ever are
expected. The institute sessions will
begin each day at s a. m. and continue
until noon. The sessions are open ia
all and Supt. Ford cordially invites all
interested in the institutes work to
call at any and all times.
TUESDAYS SESSION.
The normal institute has opened
with its usual vigor and earnestness.
We think that with the present set of
instructors at its head it can not help
but prove success.
Conductor Jay is back with al his
energetic management. He possesses
the characteristics of one who never
leaves a stone unturned.
The number has been raised to about
eighty with still more coming.
There are the usual lumber of mex.
perienced teachers in attendance.
The teachers were given to under.
stand that business and not mere pleas
ure only is the object of their labors.
J. G. Wine in an outline showed the
physiology class the Importance of one
having knowledge classified in its pro-
per form.
One of the best features of this
years. work is that the management
and method" class recites at a time
when the teachers must all be present
D. F. Shirk is like unto the wise man
we read of in the scriptures, he brings
forth both now and old thinUS ont al
the treasure.
Conductor Jay took the train today
noon for Salina. He will return in
time to resume duties tomorrow morn
ing.
Among the visitors we had this
morning were S. NJ. Cook, from Chap
man, Principal Potts, of the Lincoln
school of Minneapolis, Miss Scott, of
Enterprise schools.

Alliance Picnic.

Fully 1000 people gathered at Kings
grove, near Solomon, Saturday on the
occasion of the picnic of Grove Hill
farmers alliance. They came from
south as we'll as north Dickinson and
represented every political faith and all
ages. a number were present from
Abilene, and Solomon City sent many
of her citizens.
A well-arranged program was given
in the grove and was listened to by all
most attentively, excellent order pre-
vsiling throughout the day.
The morning was occupied with the
address of welcome by E. z. Butcher,
prayer by Rev. Dunnett and speeches
by A. p. Collins, of Salina, and Mr.
Peak, of Cloud county. Both addresses
were well prepared and delivered.
After the basket dinner, Ex-Governor
Harvey, of Manhattan, candidate for
congress in this district, made the prin-
cipal address of the day. His remarks
were characterized by conservatism
and candid advice. He deprecated any
rash movements on the part of the alli-
ance, and while declaring himself in
hearty sympathy with the alliances
objects counseled moderation in all
things. His remarks were worthy of
consideration and made a good impress
>. sion upon many who saw the speaker
for the first time.
he was followed by NJ. w. Wilkins,
of the Winfield on-Conformist, j. D.
Cooper, and w. d. Garten, the exer-
cises continuing into the evening.
The day was much enjoyed by the
farmers and their families and doubt
less proved profitable to the alliance.
