TO BUILD OPERA House
Property Is Bought and Plans Begun Fol-
$4,000 Modern Playhouse 10 be
Built In Amarillo

(From Thursdays Daily Panhandle. }
Amarillo Is to at last have an
opera house commensurate with the
Size and needs of the city. For
some time past, a party Of men rep
resenting outside capital have been
completing their plans in Amarillo
and now although they are not
ready to give out their complete
plans, they are ready to begin work.
The new firm has purchased two
building lots each 30x140 and are
now preparing the architectural and
building plans for the house. The
building will be 6Ox140, will cost
100000 and will represent the most
modern ideas In theater construc-
ton. The names and connections of
the parties interested will not be
given out until construction Is ready
to begin. which will be within the
next sixty days. From reliable au-
thority, the information Is given that
the scheme is bona flde and that the
opera house Is a certainty.
Although the house will complet-
ed too late for attractions OF the
present season, 1t will be furnished
and complete for the season OF 1907
0S and tho management will begin
bookings Immediately on the basis
Of future accommodations With a
modern play house large enough to-
accommodate the patronage and
equipped for high-cass dramatic
Amarillo will be assur-
ed a class OF attractions never be-
fore possible here. 1t will probably
take several years to get the book
lngs arranged to get all the best
that visit Texas, but even
next year, It IS thought that several

Dig companies but the location Of the
own makes 1t possible for the COM
lanies to change their old routes so
rs to make this their most conve-
liont route when there is an opera
house here that will justify a stop
over.
The news that Amarillo is to have

with great satisfaction by all the
'ltizons of the town, since the en-
erprise has been more generally felt

TERRIFIC EXPLOSION

Fontanet, Ind, Oct. 15.-With 6

crisp, powder-stained corpses there
are aching hearts that cannot be re-
lieved now by human sympathy
The cause of the explosion is I'M
known, but is believed to have been
due to a hot shaft box in one of
the glaze mills. The first explosion
occurred in the finishing room. There
were three distinct explosions, each
death-dealing mad terribly destructive.
1t was a broadside the force of which
can hardly be imagined, much less
described. The sound went rumbling
and reverberating throughout the coun
try for miles around.
\ few tons of loose powder were
first to go, 1t alone would have
been sufficient to end many lives
and destroy much property. Nine
giant wheels in the press room, where
charcoal and birthstone were mixed,
let go with nearly 200 kegs of ex-
plosives. Nearly 100 men were caught
in the buildings, helpless in the face
of the disaster. At the first explosion
they attempted to flee, but, like an
avenger not to be denied, the ex-
plosive pursued them into every cor
ner. They ran from one explosion to
another, dashed here and there by the
Charred and burning forms were seen
forces that could not be checked.
Charred and burnig forms were seen
attempting to crawl from the tongues
of flame that aided the explosive, but
most of them persisted before they
could escape the danger line.
The explosion dissolved in one 81
gantic puff, causing a yellow vapor
that enveloped the surrounding coun-
try in what looked like a cyclone
cloud. Debris from the powder mills
was hurled 800 yards in the air and
buildings two miles away were I'M
able to stand the shock. The air was
filled with strengthening missiles.
The panic of the people was complete.
Living within range of the mighty
source OF powder many of them con-
stantly expected disaster. but no one
had anticipated this days work.

would not be frightened by anything

Clara had gone to bed, the older sis

went into the bed room, uttering

but was awakened by the groans, sat
