NUMBER 13.
NORMAL AND CHAUTAUOUA
Able Faculty and lecturers
The ManaGement Invites the
Corporation of the Conn
munity.

Elsewhere in this paper APP
pears an advertisement contain
ing the faculty and program of
the Summer Normal and Chau-
tauqua which will be held here
next month. The ability of the
faculty for the normal and the
high character of the program
for the chautauqua are guar
antees that the Board of man
ayers have done their work with
rare Judgment and efficiency.
A season ticket, costing 50,
will admit Il person to all the
lectures and entertainments of
the Chautauqua. An intellec-
tual feast of such great variety
has never been placed within the
reach of hepeOple of this parish.
The management has complied
with all the conditions to secure
Mr.. Bryan, and there is every
reason to believe that the great
Nebraska orator will be here at
the appointed time. Gov. Tay
lor, Col. Copeland, Mr.. Hawks
and the other lecturers are men
of national repute. Judging
from the program, it is safe to
say that the Chautauqua will be
a distinct success.
The management wishes it to
be clearly understood that the
people are invited to attend the
exercises. 1t should not only be
the peoples pleasure to partici-
pate in these exercises, but it is
their duty as the hOspitable
hosts and hostesses of the
teachers to make the social fea-
ture of the normal a brilliant
success. Lafayette has a fine
opportunity to make itself
known throughout the State as
an eminently SOciable and pro
greSsive community. And it
will not do that by crawling into
and staying in it's hole like a
craytish during a drOuth. There
| will be two or three hundred
members of Il cultured and
keenly appreciative class of
tOilerS in the town whose good
opinion is worth while striving
for
The management is doing its
best to have transportation for
the teachers to and from the In
Stitute. In this, as in every
other movement to contribute to
the comfort and pleasure of the
visitors, the people of the town
can and should lend a helping
hand. Lafayette is vastly inter-
eSted in the success of the towns
| initial effort to provide entertain
ment and accommodation for Il
large body of men and women.
Ruston has made itself justly
famous by its normals and chau-
tauquas. Lafayette can do like
wise if it will. An enterprise of
this character can never be sue
cessful without the enlightened
cooperation of the public.
There are some things which the
management can not have made
to order and served at so much
per. We mean the hundred
! and one little delicate attentions
which cost nothing and in the
final roundup count for so much.
Therefore, let the people exert
themselves in the right direc-
ton, bearing in mind that every
cent expended and everything
done for the success of the Nor
NAL and Chautauqua will re-
dound to the glory of their
town and will return to them
with compound interest.

Packers and Teamsters Settle Their Dis
pute and RiOting Ends
Chicago. June 6.-Peace resulted
from the eight-hOur conference at the
Grand Pacific hotel early yesterday
morning between the representatives
of the packers and the striking team
stCrs. At 4 o'clock the announcement
was made that the strike had been
settled through the efforts of the mem
berS of the state board of arbitration
and Mayor Harrison. When the con-
ference broke up the representatives
of the big packing concerns involved
in the labor troubles and the delegates
from international Teamsters' union
No. 1G shook hands and said Good
night" Members of the local team
sters' union to the number of 800 met
at / / Il. III. yesterday and unanimously
ratified tho agreement reSched by the
representatives.
The terms of the agreement be-
tween the packers and the teamsters
provide there shall he no discrimina-
tiOn against union labor by the pack
ers. The wage scale agreed upon is
not what the teamSterS demanded, but
it is a material increase over the old
rate of compensation, and here is
where the compromise came in, the
they had demanded. Some improve
ment in working conditions was OBJ
tanned and it was agreed that there
should be no discrimination against
union teamsters. The demand for
shorter hours was abandoned.
But the two claims which were most
Objectionable to the packers were
demand for barn stewards and the
demand for recognition of the union
This last demand failed to win in the
department store strike, and also
against the packers, who would hard
ly consider it at all. The men yielded
the barn steward demand. 1t was
agreed that future grievances will be
adjusted by conference between the
employers and committees of their
employees" At the meeting of the men
yesterday the agreement was read to
them and was greeted with cheers.
The concessions made to the packers
were explained. and the explanation
was applauded. The concessions made
by the packers were likewise dilated
on. and there were more cheers.
1t was obvious that the men were
extremely content with their fight and
happy that the worst riots in Chicago
since 1894 had passed into history. AS

day, in the anthracite strike, there
Were the usual scrimmages in several
parts of the Wyoming valley, in which
workmen who refused to desert the
companies generally got the worst of
it. No one, as far as is known, was
seriously hurt. The-wOrk of the min
ers' pickets and the stOning by boys
and young men is having its effect.
Each day IA fewer number of men
leave their homes for the mines, fear
ing they may not again get home

The operators are still able to ill

policy not TO enlist the services of
strangers until absolutely necessary.

Matter That Arouses Interest.
The action of the New York board
of trade in requesting President ROOse-
welt to take up the matter of settling
the strike aroused considerable inter
est. President Mitchell had nothing
to say when he was asked for an cX-
preston of opinion on the new move.
He said he knew nothing about it eX-
cept what he had read in the news
papers. The mining superintendent
who were seen had nothing new to add
to the first days budget of news. All
of them said they were getting along
fairly well. They continue to have
trouble in operating their pumps. how
ever. and in some mines the water is
creeping up slowly Notwithstanding
the strenuous efforts of the men on
hand to keep it down. This is caused
mostly by lack of firemen to keep up

FOdrea, charged with aSSaSSinating

December, was arrai%ned before

plea of not guilty. The case is set for

1t is alleged that the defendant killed
Seay through jealousy.
Miss Carrie Phillips. an GStimablo

the attentions of young Fodrea, it is
said. and was engaged to Seay at the
time he was killed. The evidence the
state will offer is entirely circumstan-
tial, but the prosecution claims that
much new testimony will be brought
out. While a number of citizens think
FOdrea may be guilty, they doubt if
