Cut the Wires.

A year ago when Holland citizens re-
belled against the exorbitant charge of
the Bell Telephone Company and author
lied ]. II. Watson, of Grand Rapids, to
construct a new exchange, wires were
run In a very short time, and especially
in the business district over ,saw-horses
placed on the tops of high buildings. Mr..
Watson at the time did not take the trou-
BILE to obtain permission of the owners of
the buildings, and some Of them later
raised serious objections and gave notice
of roof rent to be paid or wires removed.
One of these owners was Herman Boone,
the wealthy owner of the First State
Bank block and the City Hotel building,
which stand opposite each other on the
principal corners of Main street. The
trouble eliminated in the cutting of all
wires running between the buildings, rem
dering all the phones in the east end of
the city dead" Mr.. Watson secured the
services Of Hnemen from Grand Rapids
and worked all night placing the wires
temporarily on the city electric light poles.
Law suits are threatened by both sides.

The Texas Offices.

Informal on which the HERALD
deems reliable was received from
Washington to-day stating that the
dispatches which have been sent out
from there that certain men would be
appOiu ed to Texas offices were largely
fabrications, and that tie president
has not indi ca.ed whom he will appoint
to the prominent offices in the state
Referring to the Ell Paso collectorship
it is stated that while Campbell and
Dillon each have strong backing, Col.
Moore has support that cannot easily
be defeated. Life long friends close
to the president t, stainless charac. er
and a record in the treasury depart
ment that is eloquent, makes him a
formidable candidate. There is, not
much hope of any of these offices being
considered before the tenth of next
month.
