STRIKE AT FERNIE
Prevents Shipment of Coal Over thu
JENNINGS Branch.

Prevents Shipment of Coal Over the
Jennings Branch.
Collector of Customs Jewell was in
the city from Gateway Tuesday. He
states that on account of the strike
at the Fernie coal mines no coal has
yet been hauled over the Jennings
branch. The strike at the mines has
been hanging fire for the past six
months, but on an agreement by the
company and men, work has been go
ing on until short time ago, when
the men refused to work on the old
scale any longer. 1t is expected
however, that in view of the strike
in the Pennsylvania coal fields, a mu
tual agreement can be reached, as
there has been numerous orders re
ceived for coal from eastern points.
As soon as a settlement is effected

MERCHANTS CARNIVAL.
A Presentation of Grace and Beauty

presentation OF GFSCe ana Beauty
UnriVaIIed.
Every seat in the opera house was
reserved for the Merchants Carni-
val last night, and even standing
room was at a premium, the hall be-
ing taxed to it's full capacity to ac-
commodate the throngs who packed
the entrance before the doors were
opened The program as published
in the Bee last week was carried out
perfectly and with no tedious inter
missions, calling forth much favora-
BILE comment upon the ability mani
tested by General Manager Smell.
The queen of the carnival and her
two maids of honor were the whole
thing for while, and then the gaudi-
ly bedecked and handsome ladies who
presented themselves to display each
banner of the. forty or more business
houses represented were the momen-
tary attraction. AS each firm was an
nounced by the exquisite queen, a
maid of honor in the left Wing passed
out a banner, and the representative,
with a courtesy left her place in the
group, received the banner and stood
holding it gracefully as the lady in
the right front spoke the little piece
which prettily presented the claim of
the merchant to the public patronage.
The costumes in this grand ensemble
were particularly rich and appropri-
ate and it was an oft expressed mar
vel where so many pretty girls had
been selected, there being also so
many of the fair in the audience.
The drills and marching of black
and white and the girls in red were
repeatedly encored, but the hit of the
evening was the military drill and
tableaux. Captain Breedlove certain
ly had assembled lovely array of
talent in his Company A-barring
the sergeant, who seemed to be some
what Of misfit in both uniform and
action.
For two hours the audience was
held in appreciative attention, and
the program was a series of delights
Nothing has ever been presented by
amateur talent, upon so short notice
so absolutely flawless.
