hi'ge MASS OK STEEL
IS TOMB OK LABORER
Officials of the Illinois Steel Com
pany in Gary are wondering what to
do with a mass of 100 tons of steel at
their plant. They do not know
whether to cut it up for girders, bury
it in a cemetery with a gravestone
over it or sink it in the lake.
Dr. E. E. Evans, Gary's represen
tative of the coroner, will decide the
point. The coroner’s office is involv
ed beause somewhere inside the mass
is all that remains of an unidentified
laborer. Officials of the company do
not even have the number of the man
who was caught when molten steel
poured into a pit he was repairing.
Steve Linick, another worker who
was pulled out of the mass, died later
of his burns. A third man was seri
ously hurt.
Cbroner J. D. Graham has ordered
a thorough investigation.
Parties not receiving their papers
before 6:00 o’clock should telephone
the office and a special messenger will
be sent with one. Turn your com
plaints in to the office. tf

BASEBALL BOVS WILL
GIVE DANCE NEXT WEEK
The baseball boys are planning to
give a big dance next week, and it is
hoped the affair will be largely pat
ronized. The object of the affair is
to raise funds to pay for the large
amount of paraphernalia which the
club will require for the coming sea
son's games, and which has already
been ordered. These supplies will
cost a considerable sum and it is be
lieved that everybody in town, who
enjoys the games during the summer,
will be willing to contribute, and that
all may have an opportunity the
dance will be given. The suits for
the club are expected to arrive with
in a day or two; and it is said that
they are the handsomest that' have
ever been brought to Alaska. The
boys promise to give the people play
ing in keeping with the suits, and as
Fort Liscum has a pretty good team
there promises to be some very ex
citing games here this summer. Give
the boys your support.

lication which was ready for distri
bution May 10th. and will prove of
interest to many Alaskans,’ especiallv
those engaged in shipping:
“The United States Coast and
Geodetic Survey has just issued a

boon to Alaskan shipping. This book,
containing 303 pages, including in
dexes. covers the waters of the coast;
of Alaska from Yakutat Bay to the
Arctic Ocean, including the various
groups of islands along the south
side of the Alaska Peninsula, the

ing information as to the currents,
sailings directions, and all available
knowledge of special features as to
the navigation of waters of particu

“This book is sold for 50 cents,

can be ordered from the Superintend

AT.EMPRESS THEATRE
FOR THREE NIGHTS
Empress Circuit presents the dra
matis masterwork of Marie Corelli,
"Wormwood," in five acts, Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday night’s.
A cast of renowned players headed
hy John Sainpolis, Ethel Kauffmann
and Charles Arthur.
Beauvais, the unhappy ahsintheur,
who as he says, slinks through the
streets of Paris whining for his soul,”
is seen in the first part of the photo
drama as a happy lover, the accepted
suitor of the beautiful Paulins. Like
a thunderbolt from a clear sky, he
learn on the eve of his wedding that
Pauline has given her love to Sylvion,
Beauvais’ dearest friend. In an un
happy moment for himself and those
with whose lives he comes in contact
he is persuaded to take a drink of
absinthe.
From that moment his soul shrivels
within him. He becomes little better
than a brute when the wormwood dis
tilled stuff is creating a delirium in
his brain. He denounces Pauline be
fore the sacred altar of the cathedral
on his wedding morn. The unhappy
girl flees from her home and becomes
an outcast of Paris. Beauvais, in an
absinthe induced frenzy kills Sylvion.
Pauline learns of this when she en
counters eBauvais on the Port Neuf
and a scene that for sheer pathos and
heartrending pity has never been
equaled ensues. From this point the
drama rushes to a catyclysmic climax
of fairly overwhelming power. Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday Checkers,
on Sunday and Monday.
One of the largest flocks of geese
seen about here for several years,
passed over the town early this morn
ing going in tlie direction of the Min
eral creek flats. Porter King, who
claims to have counted them, stated
there were one thousand seven hun
dred and sixty-two—and one gosling.
