COFFEE RoAsTER PLANT.
Would Be Paying Institution in
Ardmore-Who'Il Start Il?

The Ardmoreite is surprised that
some one has not started a coffee
roaster here before now. The people
of Ardmore drink about $50 pounds
of coffee each day of the l!seg.
This coffee most of it is already
parched when it is received in Ard
more, and the Lord only knows how
long it has been parched when we get
it Some it may have been roasted
for several years for all we know.
Still, for all that 1t is thrown on the
market, the customer is toll that II
is fresh coffee. just received il a few
days ago, which he did, but when was
1t parched?
If it is old, and we don't know
whether it is or not, It is dangerous to
our health; it has lain so long it has
lost so per cent of tho strength IL
had when first parched; and upon the
whole the coffee made from It is hard
ly fit to drink.
There are plenty of cities not as
large as Ardmore that have coffee
roasters. If man should put up a
small plant here and prepare TO parch
aud grind coffee, he could make for
tune. He could parch barrel Of il in
twenty or thirty minutes and the peo-
pie could come to him and get fresh
roasted coffee every day. Your coffee
would cost you no more. you would
know it was fresh, and it wuld be
cheaper, because it would go farther
on account of it being fresh and con.
tanning all of its aroma
The machinery costs but little. the
profits would be immense.

The Passion Play.

The world famous passion play re-
duced to moving pictures was exhibit
ed at the KlosM opera house last
night. The entertainment consisted
in twenty-three pictures showing
scenes in the life OF Christ Christ
looked so real in teaching the disciples
at the last supper, at mis- betrayal and
trial and again at his cruclhxion that
those present could almost transport
themselves to the era wnen Christ was
slain and enter into hearty sympathy
with Mary and others who were de-
voted to Jesus throughout the earthly
ordeal .
The execution of John the Baptist
and the resurrection from the dead Of
Lazarus We're two realistic scenes.
The scene Of the storm an earth
quake while Jesus was suspended on
the cross was one OF perfect splend-
or; its beauty daZzled and it's realis-
tic appearance awed those who saw it,
The pictures were sentimental
throughout and those who expected
something to laugh at were dsap.

DYNAMITERs AT WORK.
eeIligerent Miners Blow Up Buildings
Regardless OF Human Life.

Victor. Colo. Feb. 24.-Cripple
Creek is in a state of terror, owing to
a preconcerted attack upon all the
leading assay Offices doing business in
the district.
Beginning at 3 o'clock this morning
and following in rapid succession six
explosions wrecked as many assay
houses In centers ranging from
Victor to Cripple Greek and up to the
gold fields.
In every instance the object sought
by the incendaries was accomplished
by the destruction of the Offices with
their fine equipment of delicate bal
ances. Tue raiders did not hesitate to
jeopardize life as all but one OF the
buildings were also occupied by sleep
ing families. As IL was men, women
and children were hurled out of their
beds by shocks and serious injuries
were inflicted.
The general impression is that the
acts are the result OF a general moyc
ment to rid the district of all high
grade ore purchasing institutions.

"Tonsoriaiists." Attention,

Some inventive genius has found a
new use for cool air, and the patrons
of a downtown barber shop are enjoy
ing the fruits of his discovery. The
invention is nothing less than the sup
plying of cool air to those who are in
the BARRIERS chair, and during the heat
ed summer months BARRIERS chairs will
probably become well-patronized re-
sorts. The air is compressed into lit
tie tank by small pump that is run
by hydrant stream. From the tank
a pipe runs along the shelf on which
Is kept the supply of tonsorial neces-
stiles. In front of each chair tap is
made, and from this runs a flexible
tube to which Is attached a small noz-
zle that is controlled by pressure of
the fingers and closes automatically
when the pressure is released. When
you are warm go to the barber shop
and you can keep yourself cool while
being shaved. incidentally bottles,
with receptacles to fit the end of the
nozzle in which is kept the bay rum,
witch hazel, and other tonics. are used.
