GEN. BELLS STATEMENT
On the Situation and Circumstances
Governing the Strike.

Cripplc Creek, Col, June 14.-Adju-
tant General sherman Bell, in conf
mand of the military here, has issued
Il statement concerning the dcpOrtatl ton
of union miners and others from the
Cripple Creek district. The statement
was prepared at the request of an East
cIn newspaper for an opinion as to why
the drljoftatIohs do not conflict with the
Provisions Of the constitution of the
United States against depriving any
rcrsun of lif,. liberty or property with
out due process of law. 1t reads in
Iart as follows:

1ie.Up on Lakes Broken
nv Masters Surrender.
About 1000 Directly and 100000
Men Indirectly Affected.
rr,,ble Declared Off by Masters and

cleveland, Ohio, June 14.-After six
rock Of tie-up on the Great Lakes that
he'd directly involved only about 2000
r,en. but indirectly more than 100000
who have been idle because of its eX-
istencc, a cessation was brought to the
strike, tonight, by the surrender of the
masters, who, with the pilots, nave
been holding out for a more UNIFORM
scale of wages this season, than was Oh
fnred By the. Lake Carriers Association,
whose boats We're most effected by the
difficulty between the vessel owners
and their employees.
The strike was declared off, tonight,
by Paul Powell district captain OF the
Masters and Pilots Association, VINO
gave out the following statement:
The Masters and Pilots Associa-
ton has concluded that it would be
good policy at this stage of the game
owing to existing conditions over which
we have no control, to advise our cap
tains to go to work and make the most
of a had condition. Our mates VIII meet
at the earliest opportunity and make
arrangements along the lines OF theif

Carriers Association tOr acceptance. III
the meantime the mates Will remain
where they are until this arrangement
is made and agreed upon by the two
associations
II is understood that the Lake Car
ricrs' Association will soon come to an
agreement with the mates and that the
full fleet of the Lake Carriers AsSocia-
ton will be gotten under way within
a very few days.
The Lake Carriers Association was
willing to pay last years scale Of
wages, but this was not agreeable to
the Masters and Pilots because of al
legged great differences in the wages of
men doing exactly similar work.
The strike has been one of the most
costly IN wages and time lost and stag

Samuel r. Harding received several
severe cuts on his right foot, Monday,
while working around a gasoline wood
saving machine. 1t seems that he was
standing near the saw when a piece
of wood fell on the guard swapping the
saw which was running at full speed,
in several pieces, which flew in as many
directions. One piece struck him on the
top Of the foot, cutting deeply into the
flesh and bone in five places where as
many saw teeth struck. He was made
comfortable by a physician as soon as
possible. Though not serious, the
wound is very painful and will keep
him confined for some time.

GRADUATION EXERCISES
Of High School Fills Coburn Hall to
the Doors.

Coburn hall, at 7.45 o'clock, Monday
evening, was filled to the doors with
people who enjoyed one of the best of
junior exhibitions for several years.
The auditorium was thoroughly trans
formed and in fact looked anything but
like itself. Bunting in the school colors,
orange and black, covered the entire
front walls in artistic designs, envel-
oped the balcony sidings in fanciful
coils and hung from the great chande-
lier in beautiful streamers. Above the
stage front hung the class monogram in
green and white. class colors, sos"
The stage was handsomely decked in
bunting, flowers, potted plants, snow
balls, ferns, and palms. The stage dec
orations were such as to give the effect
Of the "NOught-five" colors.
The junior class marched in as Ken
dalrs orchestra of 10 pieces, rendered
the Independentiary March, and took
seats reserved for them near the piat-
form.
The exhibition in itself was indeed a
success. and one that cast honor on the
old school, reflected great credit on Miss
Bodwell, who had it in charge, and
drew forth the hearty applause of the
audience upon the participants them
selves.
The hour spent upon the readings
from Kate Douglas Wiggin was in
structive as well as interesting. The
speakers were all good and deserved
personal mention, two or three showing
marked ability.
Then followed a short comedy, styled
the young men and young ladies' who
took the parts are to be commended for
the excellence of their work and the
considerable amount Of that quality of
being natural on the stage which each
exhibited.
The play was of the sort where con-
fusion and embarrassment are the lead
ing features. The bashful young man
with fortune unwittingly becomes en-
gagged to three young ladies, who have
variety of ideas regarding woman's
rights and suffrage. Finally however.
he takes the pick of the bunch" and
really and truly proposes, leaving his
friends to help him out of the other diff

His predicaments and awkwardness
created much merriment. The pro-
