Since the advent of the Independent Telephone Company In Texas a f»*w years ago the progrès» made in cov ering the state with wires has been almost unprecedent in the history of telephone construction. The sys tem was first introduced in the cities of Houston, San Antonio and Waco and so uniform and general was the satisfaction given that the independent people were induced to try other fields. Then followed the introduction of the system in Cor sicana. Waxahachie, Ennis, Deni son, Sherman, Gainesville. Fort Worth, Denton, Cleburne, Sulphur Springs arid other points. The Waxahachie and Ennis systems have been in operation some time and in th« course of a short time every town and poatoflice in Ellis county will be connected with these cities and with the outside world. Mr. A. E. SchatTer, the manager of the Schaffer Construction Com pany, who constructed and installed th«*»e systems, returned to Waxa hachie a few days ago trom the North and East where he spent the summer in the interest of the Inde pendent Company. Mr. Schaffer was seen at his office with the local exchange this morning and asked as to what progress was now being made in the work of constructing long distance lines. Mr. Schaffer said that this wori was making fair progress. The I Fort Worth iocai exchange has been completed and will be opened Jan uary 1 with 20U0 subscribers. In In stalling this system the wires were put under ground and a total of about a half million dollars was ex pended on the system. Mr. Schaf fer say» this is one of the most com plet·· and perfect telephone ex changes iu in the state. The ex changes f.»r Gainesville, Cleburne, ; Denton, Decatur, Coleman, Galves ton and Sulphur Springs are now beinii built. Greenville is rebuild ing, and all of the above exchanges will be completed and ready to begin j service within the next sixty days. As soon as the plants are in opera tion they will be couuected with long distance wires. Mr. Schaffer informed us that the long distance line had been completed from St. I,«mis and Kansas City as far south as Fort Worth, Sherman, Demaon, | ι ι \»m ana, ran*, i. l-ousiie, Gainesville, and all intermediate point*. Material is now being de livered «long the Misouil, Kansas and Texan railway for a line to be built between Waxaiiachie and Waco.

The Return of John Dillon. One of the most pleasing features in connection with the revival of "East Lynne" at the opera house uext Monday night, is the return of old John Dillon. For fifty year· this actor ha* been regarded by thousands of theatre patrons as the best comedian of hi· generation. There is no questlou that had his health aiwaya been robust as it is now In his seveuty-second year, John Dillon would have been re corded in dramatic history as the superior of Bol Hmlth Russell, today. This grand old production and noted old comedian will be the attraction •t the opera house next Monday night, Dec. 7. Tickets on sale Mon day Hrlce·, '£>, M and 75 cent».
