AT II O'Clock the soft strains of the

road, when asked to-day by a Register
reporter if he was still seeking the
position of United States Marshal for
this the northern, district, he made
this reply: Il am after the position
good and strong, and | do not believe
there is any question but what l will
pluck the plum, provided. however.
that the people that have promised
me their support in the fight, stand
by me. and | believe each and every
one of them will make good their
word" As a general thing the Balti-
more & Ohio railroad officials do not
permit an emplOye to take any part
in politics whatever, and at the same
time hold a position with them; but
this is an instance where they have
deviated somewhat from the rules they
recently adopted, and they along with
the leading railroad employees on the
line of the B. & O., it is said expect
his appointment, the employees especial
ly, for he is the. only railroad man that
ever received the full endorsement for
a political Office by the different rail-
road organizations. His claim is be-
ing heavily pushed, it is alleged, by the
B. L. of E. and the Col. Howard Flem-
ing Lodge B. of r. T. He is IS years
of age, strictly sober. "A committee
of raliroad people will call on Presi-
dent Mckinley, Senators Elkins and
Scott possibly next week" he said,

The Elk's Carnival.

One of the most expensive attractions
that has been secured for the carnival is
the G. A. r. band, consisting of forty
members, to come direct to Tacoma all
the way from Canton, Ohio, the home Of
President Mckinley.
At recent meeting of the executive
committee of the carnival association an
appropriation Of $500 was made for day
fireworks for display daily along the line
of parade. These fireworks will prove
very attractive. Nothing OF the kind
has ever been seen in this state. They
proved one of the features of the recep-
ton to President Mckinley at San
Francisco during his recent visit to that
city. They consist of exploding bombs
from which float unique and striking fig
ures and emblems that are always Gag
erly sought as souvenirs as they come
floating lazily down from great heights.
All the work of the carnival commit
tee is on the same generous scale. No
expense is being spared to give the
strangers that visit Tacoma during the
carnival most joyous time, one that
they will never forget.

pesira bic Foods for Summer.

Lean meats, eggs, milk and cheese
are, in proper proportions and when
taken with succulent vegetables and
fruits, desirable foods for summer. But
the fat of meats, and fat meat such as
pork, large quantities of cream and but
ter, as we'll as olive oil, should be avoid
ed. The latter, however, is preferable,
as it does not contribute so rapidly to
the bodily heat as do the animal fats.
Avoid hot and heavy deserts. Use fruits
in season in abundance.-Mrs. S. T.

jured. The damage to the plant is
$4,000. The explosion occurred in one
of the big blast furnaces. Tons of mol.
, ten metal, cinders and Stag Were
thrown over the unfortunate filters or
top of the furnace, 120 feet above the
ground. The men made rush for the
elevator, but it had gone down and
there was no escape. Firemen carried
the burned, charred and misshaper
masses of humanity to the morgue
wagon. In all parts of the yard and
beneath the furnace injured men were
found
Later the managers of the plant said
that nine men were killed, and five in.
jured Ordinarily, only three mer
work on top of the furnace, but this
morning the heavy iron wagon used in
taking up ore got stuck, and additional
men went up until the number reached
fourteen. 1t was while they were try
ing to get the wagon released that the
fatal explosion took place. All the
men on top Of the furnace were Slavs
and Poles. Three of the five men taxi
en- to Mercy hospital are so badly hurt
it is feared they will die An eye wit
ness says there was a loud report, and
the murky heavens We're Illuminated
with a great sheet of flame, showing
the men on top of the furnace running
about and gesticulating wildly. The
flames and hot metal looked like vol
cano in action. Five men were blown
off the top of the furnace, and these
men are the ones still living. Two
victims remained tenaciously cinging
to the railing until their fingers were
burned off, then fell to the roof of the
mill, dead. Seven victims were found
dead on the platform OF the cupola.
The bodies were burned almost to a
crisp. The company is unable to give
any names, as the men are only known
by check numbers. Tons Of ore, rock,
hot cinders and some pieces Weighing
almost 3 pounds rained down on the
avenue, and people ran into houses ana
stores for protection. Tt Is said the ex-
plosion was caused by a slip in the
furnace. Two victims were found 25o
yards from the furnace. Every bone
in their bodies seemed to have been
broken.
The dead identified are: Joseph
Frankovitch, Joseph sisul, Michael
Gasdivicz, Andrew Sucz, Michael Mezo'

The injured at Mercy hospital are:
