MESLIER STEPS DOWN AND OUT,

The Reasons For His Being Let Out Pro-
found Secret-Nobody Talks.
Says the Dallas News, the following
circular was sent out Monday:
Dallas, Tex, May 5.-Circular NO. IL
MIR. E. Z. Turner is this day appoint
ed general passenger and ticket agent
of the Texas and Pacific railway, with
headquarters at Dallas, Tex, vice Mr..
CASTOR Meslier, resigned.
L. S. TRORNE,
Third vice-president and general man
ager.
The announcement came as COM
plete surprise to the community and to
Mr.. Turner himself. For more than
two weeks there have been rumors of
Mr.. Meslier's resignation, but the
stories could never be traced to any
authoritative source, and so when the
definite statement was made that the
change had occurred many people re-
fused to believe it till they had seen
the official circular.
Early in the afternoon reporter
called at General Manager Thorne's
office. In answer to question Mr..
Thorne said: Mr.. Meslier has resig
ed his office and Mr.. Z. 2. Turner
takes his place. That is all 1 have to
say about It,"
Mr.. Turner was seen, and he said:
The appointment was as much OF a
surprise 10 me as IL was 10 you or any
other man. L did not know anything
about it until Mr.. Thorne notified me
that l had been appointed. l had
heard rumors of Mr.. Meslier's resigna-
tion, but had no idea there was any
truth in them, and less idea that in the
event he did leave l would be chosen
to succeed him. L have accepted the
place, however, and will do the best l
can to discharge the duties.'
Mr. CASTOR Me5lipp- the ratiripr Of
fetal, declined to give his reasons for
leaving the service of the Texas and
Pacific, saying it was matter which
did not al all concern the public.

There was time in Oregon when
the male inhabitants mostly wore
buckskin trousers, because there was
no other material available for gar
ment making, says the C1rvallis Ore. }
Times. Oregon's climate, of course, is
damp, and buckskin once wet, shrink5
frig htfully in drying. This reminds
an old pioneer of the first wedding he
ever went to in Oregon. He said:
SIT occurred in the winter of 1915 at
Oregon City. The bride walked two
miles through mud to get to the
church. She was arrayed in white,
and when she appeared in church her
gown was sadly bedraggled. The
groom wore buckskin pants. Once
they had been wet but at the wedding
they were dry. They baggod at the
knees until there was room inside for
swarm of bees, but they fai' ed to reach
his shoe tops. They en5e1 somewhat
about the calf Of the legs and the
groom wore no socks. 1t was strange
costume for the chief contractor at the
wedding, but the groom was un6aunt-
ed. His name was Sharp and the name
of the bride was E1c5. Though they
were welded in unsightiy suits it is
presumed that they lived happily until
the hus band, years af icrward-, killed a
man and went to the penitentiary, and
the wife married another man"

A BIG HOTEL.
Letter From a Well Travelled Business Man
Who Says Ell Paso should Have One.


Who Says Eel Paso Should Have One.
EDITOR HERALD:-The May 3rd is
sue Of the HERALD contained an item
in reference to the intention of Phoe-
nix parties to build new three story,
one hundred and fifty-room hotel in
order to take care of the steadily in
creasing travel to that city, and in this
connection I wish to say that within
the last six months a large first class
hotel, The Adams.) has been erected
there and [ am reliably informed that
notwithstanding first class rates of
from So upwards per day are charged,
the hotel has been full to overlooking
since its completion. In fact, the pres
sure was so great that part of the
hotel was put into use long before its
completion for accommodation of
guests. The building Of the adams"
was assisted in q great measure through
the efforts of public spirited citizens
who raised bonus of some $50, coo for
the purchase of the hotel site and deed
ed it to the parties erecting the build
ing.
| am novel to thus address you to
call your attention to the fact that
while [ came here intending to :remain
not to exceed one year | have since be-
come attacl ed to FL Paso and its people
and have now become so satisfied that
ence. [ am anxious to see Ell PasO
progress and prosper, and in my travels
through Texas, Mexico. n. NJ. Arizona
and California and personal contact
in my Office with the large number Of
railway passengers passing through
Ell Paso, l lose no opportunity to pre-
sent the substantial facilities to be o.
fered at Ell Paso in the way Of uusur-
passed climate, settled business pros
lat,itU al 10
poets for the future. In these CONVEX
sat'ons the greatest argument l am
called on 10 combat is the assertion
that Ell Paso has not the hotel facilities
to offer the wealthy tourist who is
ready and anxious to pay for the SER
vice obtainab.e in largo first class
tourist hotels, ard until such time as
such facilities can be offered the aver
age tourist argues that it will not be
convenient for them to visit Ell Paso.
The hotels at Phoenix for the most
part are filed with tourists who are in
duced to 90 there for pleasure, recre-
alton and health, on account of the
justly deserved reputation that the
Sa t-River valley enjoys, not only as to
its climate, but also the opportunities
for investment. Ell Paso has equally
IS good if not better climate and is not
far behind in her facilities for invest
ment: aud the only draw back tha, pre-
vents our securing large part of the
tourist travel is the lack of strictly
first class hotel facilities. It would
seem to me that as a business oppor-
tunity the public spirited citizens of
Ell Paso should realize the necessity of
erecting a substantial hosiery, AID
thereby enhance the prospects for Ell
Paso's future.

| denccs robbed. viz, those OF j. NJ
Darr, 3OI Franklin street: Dr.. Boyd,
| 625 East Missouri street; apd viii Dav-
| is, Cos East Missouri stre5t. At Darr :,
J the thieves got into the house through
! a kitchen window, and picking their
wav to the bedrooms, found Mrs.
| Darr's p0rtmantau hanging on door
knob. From this was taken Sl4 IN
money, and match was struck to see
what was further in the bag rs part of
the lining was burned from the match.
Nothing else was taken except an
Arbuckle clock. This was about 10

thieves raised up the window screen OF
the doctors sleeping room, and reach
Jog in, were drawing out his clothing
hanging over rocking chair, when
Mrs. Bovd awoke: and grabbing the
coat, felt it move in her hand. She
gave an uuearthly Shrek which directly
awOke her husband and Incidentally
the entire neighborhOod. The coat
remained. but the burglars escaped.
1t was then mace patent that 1t was

The doctor found that his shirt had
been relieved of its studs and dropped
back into the room: also that the vest
had been returned with an unnego
table cheek in it, a pocket case of sur
gical instruments and a few other
things of no practical value to the
knights of the road. The visitors got
away with a valuable gold watch, chain
and charm, also 1913 in silver and a
few bills.
After this adventure, the gang went
over to VIII Davis where they worked
the window screen racket again sue
cessfully. A hand was reached in to
the bureau which was dangerously
near the window, and by def move
ment the cloth cover with all the
things thereon was drawn quietly, eX-
pe1i5iOuSly to the window, and the
whole business bagged. In this haul
some 1915 worth of property made its
mysterious exit, including two fine
diamond rings, valuable breast pin,
and other jewelry and valuables ag-
gregating in value the amount named

Herold also captured four suspicious
looking characters this morning near
the scene of the robberies, and at the
police station they gave the names of

liquor cure. Last fall we were dispos-
sessed for non-payment of rent, and the
exposure caused the death of our only

but he took to drink again worse than
ever. An old friend of our prosperOi s
