active one in the extension of lines and
increase of telephone subscribers TO the
L Mon company's exchanges Alma
now has over 300 telephones installed,
Ithaca nearly 200, st. Louis 250. At
Shepherd the Union company has ex.
tended its lines and increased its capa-
city so that there are over 22j subscribers
connected TO the Shepherd exchange.
The Pine River telephone association
comprising a system Of 50 rural sub
scribers at Forest Hill, connects with
the Union company there.
Mt. Pleasant now has nearly 500 sub
scribers connected to the Union COM
pany's exchange. Owosso, the largest
exchange in the Union sy stem, has now
over $50 telephones connected up and
contracts on hand which, when COM
pleted will bring the total 10 over 900.
Other towns as ST. Johns, Durand, Ovid,
Elsie and Glare all show the same re-
markable growth.
In fact so great has been the demand
for the telephone service of the Union
company that IL has been a hard matter
TO connect up telephones quick enough.
In GratiOt county the Union company
now has over 900 subscribers connected
with its exchanges and on the entire
system over 4, 700 are now connected.
The increase for this year up TO August
l was over 900, a very remarkable
growth.
1t IS through the independent tele-
phone companies that better telephone
service at more reasonable rates have
been furnished the public and thereby
placed telephone service within the
reach OF great number of people, who
prior to the advent Of independent tele-
phony could not afford to enjoy its bene-
fits In some towns where the Bell
company has succeeded in destroying
competition by buying out independent
companies, the rates for service have
been Immediately raised. This source
has been persued in Detroit, Kalamazoo
South Bend and Port Huron. This
policy they will persue wherever they
can remove competition.
The Union company is home institu.
ton, owned and controlled by home
capital, and men who reside along its
lines, and who are very largely and
almost wholly interested in the general
welfare Of the cities and towns occupied
by its lines, and its great success is in q
large degree due TO the loyalty Of it,
stockholders and good will of its patrons
The independent telephone companies
deserve and they have the confidence OF
the public and mean to retain 1t.

day. ard reached nearly the closing prices Of
last Saturday reports of damage to early
planted cotton by frosts over Saturday night and
Sunday morning.
These reports were received from private
sources from several different sections. but the
traders were not disposed TO credit any serious
damage. and after the first of covering
the market yielded TO a renewaI OF room

easier undertone and reached the lowest level

STORIES OF RUSSIAN SOLDIERS.
Passion for Self-Sacrihce Is Keen
Among Them-PersonaI Courage.
Worlds Work.

Worlds work.
Here is story of Russian bravery. There
is a monument in Turkestan to several
Russian soldiers captured by the Turco-
mans i'm 1879 They were artilerymen,
and their guns were captured with them;
so the Turcomans naturally ordered them,
on penalty of death. To serve those guns
against their own comrades. Every man
refused. choosing death by horrible torture
and dying without a murmur.
This passion for self-sacrifice is the key
note of the Russian character. and is Guilt
waited in the army by every possible means.
The recruit is invariably told the story OF
the heroic company of infantrymen i'm the
Lomakin expedition into Turkestan. who,
at critical moment threw themselves into
a deep ditch i'm order that the guns. which
were sorely needed at the front, might bs
gallopcd over their bodies. IL is doubtful
whether this could have happened in any
army but the Russian.
If there is one thing in which the Russian
army excels il is marching. Lord Rob-
erts's famous march to Candahar has been
equaled over and over again by the Cars
troops in their Central Asian campaigns.
When General Kuropatkin marched
force of Turkestan troops to join Skobeleff
in the attack on Cock Tepe he and his men
less desert for twenty-six days, yet they
covered forty miles a day and marched
in at the end of the time i'm perfect military
order without single man sick or fallen
out. 1t was a wonderful feat. bat IL was
not regarded i'm Russian military circles
as being anything extraordinary.
A former captain of the Russian army
told me of a friend of his who lived for
years i'm a small town and was then or
dered away to st. Petersburg. In less than
six months he received a command TO re-
turn, and promptly blew his brains out.
Nobody was surprised" said my friend.
I'VE all knew what life i'm such places is
like. A man can be happy in Siberia on A
lonely outpost where he has no companion
of his own rank within hundred miles.
but there is no happiness possible I'm small
