Telephone Line.

Attorney Leslie of Darlington was
in Jamestown Tuesday evening en-
route east. Mr.. Leslie stated that h.
had decided to begin the work of
building telephone line from James
town to Darlington shortly. He has
secured right OF way and expects to
have the line in operation in q few
months. Mr.. Leslie owns a telephone
line connecting Harvey, Fessenden
and Darlington and will operate the
Jamestown Darlington line in cOnnec-
tOn with the others.
1t was stated at one time that the
Northwestern company would build
into Darlington but The runner seems
to have been unfounded. An agent
of the Northwestern company was
through Jamestown short time ago
and it is understood that the company
decided as a result of his investiga.
tiOns as to right of way not to build
this year. The line from jamestown
to Darlington will be a great conven-
ience for business men and others.

BACK FROM PHILIPPINES.
Two Train!oads of Soldiers Back
from the War With Tales
of Battle.

Two trainloads of soldiers, the 2lst
regiment. passed through jamestown
sunday evening bound east to Fort
Smelling. They We're from Manila
and commanded by Colonel Kline.
The regiment had been in the Phil
lipines three years and the men were
glad to get back from that country.
They were looking well, as a rule. and
stated that the sea voyage and rest in
San Francisco had been of great bene-
1T to them. The officers occupied the
second section and were fine lot of
men.
The men brought back many inter-
csting souvenirs. They were all will
ing to talk of the Philippines. They
agreed that the Filipinos were a bad
lot and got no more than they deserved
IN the way of ''water cure" or any
other punishment. During the two
or three months previous to leaving
the island the regiment assisted in
the work OF wiping the insurgents out
whenever possible. With other men.
under General Bell, they went over
the country and 'killed the unfriendlv
natives and touched a match to everv-
thing that would burn, as one of the
men expressed it. This strenuous
policy resulted in few unfriendlv
natives being left alive,
The soldiers stated that they killed
not only the natives but also horses
and all animals found. Rice fields
and all crops were destroyed and the
country made a barren and blackened
waste in which no man could live
unless he came we'll -provisioned.
Ihe men stated that in their opin
ion the war is about over and there
will be little further trouble with the
natives.
The train stopped over an hour in
jamestown which gave the men an
opportunity to walk around and look
up refreshments.

nc VIII work d greater change in the
Oriental ira lie of the country than all

On the subject of trusts, Mr.. Hill
s,id
There is another subject think
VIII not be devoid OF interesO 10 Tile
manufacturers Of Illinois, and that is
the sO-called trusts or combinations of
capital: In a country as large as
ours, carrying on enormous undertake
lngs, large amounts OF capital are
necessary, and this capital can be
more readily furnished by corporate
ownership than in any other way.
There are a few individuals in the
country who might furnish fifty or a
hundred millions Of dollars with
which to carry on any particular
branch OF business. but there is no
certainty that they would furnish one
dollar. A man with that amount Of
money does not need all the trouble
and annoyance attending a large Ousi-
ness Of any kind, SO that it is neces-
sary hat this work shall be done
through corporate effort, and no harm
is likely 10 come to the country grow
ing out OF the magnitude Of the bust
ness. Has the enormous business OF
the krupp company in Germany in
jured the German nation. or any of
its people: On the contrary the ma
tion and tie people are proud of the
Lame OF hrupp. Can anyone in this
country point out an injury inflicted
on the people which can be traced to.

pany: The only serious objection to-
trusts h. De5n the methods OF Great
ing them, not for the purpose OF
manufacturing any particular COM
modify in the first place but for the
purpo:e OF selling sheav1s Of printed
securities which represent nothing
more than good will and prospective
Erolt to the promoters. .
Mr.. Hill is of the opinion that it is
the desire Of the general government
through congress to prevent the
growth OF such corporations. it is an
easy matter to do it by requiring all
syndicates TO have their capital stock
actually paid up or represented in
property at Il fair valuation Just as
the national banks are required to
have their capital stock paid up by
the comptroller OF the currency. 4
federal commission could see that this
was down where states cannot. 1t
would stop many watered stock
schemes and no legitimate business
would suffer. Mr.. Hill is optimistic
over the future aid says let us let
well enough, in a business way, alone,
