DISTINGUISHED COLOMBIAN
WHO ASPIRES TO PRESI-
DENCY OF THE REPUBLIC.
Former President Plans
Very Hot Campaign
Against Reyes.

IL Senate has ordered the Govern
III N ment to send to the Senate the
AA- secret treaty with Chile on the
limits recently defined by arbi-
tration. The President of the Senate,
Senior Caro-, former President Of Colon
bia, charges Chile with not having re-
spected her word in refusing to sell to
Colombia the cruiser Presidente Pinto in
exchange for Colombia's support at the
Pan-American Congress, held at the city
of Mexico in October, 1901.
President Caro's policy, it is asserted, is
to attack the Colombian Government by
all means. His latest blow, in demanding
the Chilean treaty, is aimed also at Vice
President Reyes. a candidate for the
Presidency of Colombia, who contributed
to drawing up the treaty with Chile, and
who, as a commissioner of Colombia at
the Pan-American Congress, was instru-
mental in bringing about the understand
ing with Chile at the City of Mexico.
There is still a feeling of resentment in
Colombia against Chile for refusing to
sell Presidente Pinto to Colombia during
the recent revolution in this republic, in
spite of the understanding on the SUBJ
ject arrived at with the Colombian COM

Chamberlain's Elba- He has yet to meet
his Waterloo"
This is borne out by reports from Biz
mingfsm, where the powerful feeling in
favor Of preferential tariffs is conferred.
There, though the resignation OF the head
and shoulders Of the movement came as a
great surprise, ceaseless activity prevails
and Il IS announced that Mr.. Chamber
lain's previous arrangements for his cam
paign VIII all be carried out
It IS learned that there is good reason to
believe that the report that War Secretary
Brodrick viii be transferred to the In
dian Office is correct The new Cabinet
IS expected TO meet within a fortnight.
The persistency with which il is ru-
mored that Austen Chamberlain, the
Postmaster General. viii succeed Mr.
Richie as Chancellor Of the EXchequer
emphasizes the extraordinary nature OF
the relations which Mr.. BalfoUr still
maintains toward his colleagues. The
Liberal organs point out the Righteousness
Of any supposed change Of heart on the
part OF a government which includes
Mr.. Chamberlain's son, who has been al
most as active as his father IN organic
ing the preferential tariff agitation Mr..
Balf0ur's frank declaration in his letter
accepting the Colonial Secretary's resig-
nation that he shared Mr.. Chamberlain
ideas Of a closer fiscal union with the
Colonies also created QOLDL as 10 now even
moderate free traders, such as the Duke
Of Devonshire, can remain under Mr.
Balfour's guidance.
CHANCE OF A TRIUMPH.
The criticism Of the small effect upon
the Government policy caused by Mr..
Chamberlain Withdrawal and Of the re-
tentiOn Of his son. is not confined to the
opposition The St. James Gazette, which
warmly supports Mr.. Chamberlain's pro-
gramme. declares that the result is that
the "Unionist party viii face the electors
disunited and open 10 all the attacks Of
the free-foOders. as IL viii be perfectly
apparent TO the electors that the return
Of Mr. Balfour involves sooner or later
the return Of Mr.. Chamberlain and the
triumph Of his policy"
Mr.. BalfOur has reiterated to friends
that his letter TO Mr. Chamberlain was
not a formal expression regarding Mr.
Chamberlain's policy. but that he meant
what he said. On the face Of it Mr.
Chamberlain and Mr.. Balfour will con-
tinue 10 work together. but the former
Colonial Secretary is free from govern
mental obligations and viii be able to
conduct his educational campaign along
the line he has all along advocated.
II is stated that Lord Lansdowne will
remain as Secretary for Foreign Affairs.

The Bell Telephone Company.

To THE PEOPLE OF LoGAN:-
The Bell Telephone company is
endeavoring to gain admission to
! your city with good telephone
service. We are doing so at the
earnest solicitation Of your best
citizens and are encouraged by
them.
We have previously withheld
entering into competition, first, be-
cause you had company which
covered your town fairly well, and
next because the then present
operating methods would not per-
nit rates compatible with good
service, so low as you were en-
joying.
Within the past year you have
had ample chance to test the per-
formances and promises of the
company now here and the num-
Der of signatures for our service is
evidence of your dissatisfaction.
We do not come with proposition
to build for a bonus-to organize
n local company upon which to
unload, nor to bond-scheme, nor
stock-job plant.
We are in the business Of selling
telephone service of the highest
possible type at a reasonable price
and all we ask is your patronage.
We will have no apologies to
make for failure to give either
efficient or sufficient service. We
appreciate that apologies do not
re-emburse you for service bought
but not received, and that excuses
do not improve the service.
We guarantee connection with
$50 subscribers before cent of
rental will be charged for service.
We will furthermore spare no ef-
fort to bring the number to 800.
We furnish nothing but the best
"Bell Long Distance" instruments
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-01-15

the number of subscribers will be
augmented to three hundred with
in the year.
Mr.. Yenrick, the manager of
the Lancaster and Logan exchan-
ges will be in Logan two days
each week, in the future, to look
over the local plant and listen to
any complaints or suggestions upon
the part of subscribers, and a
lineman will be permantly attach
ed to the Logan exchange.
The Standard Citizens Tele-
phone company desires to extend
its sincere thanks to the people of
Logan for past patronage, and for
their kindness and forebearance
for the past year, during which
the service has been somewhat i'm
pared, promising that so soon as
the improvements are made, that
the service will be reliable, efficient
and strictly up-to-date.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1903-01-15

Subscribers would be subjected
to the annoyance of two bells
ringing from time to time and in
case the new company should put
in a party line-several subscrib-
ers on one wire-there would be
the almost constant ringing of the
bell, not to mention the very dis
agreeable feature of others on the
line listening to the conversation
of the person talking. During the
past few days there has been quite
change of feeling upon the part
of our business men and residence
telephone subscribers who now
feel that one telephone exchange
is ample for Logan. About seven
years ago, a telephone company
came to Logan and solicited sub
scribers for telephone exchange
to be established at once. After
securing large number of names
the telephone officials left, but
failed to put in the exchange, as
promised. Two years later the
same company sent down solici-
tors and again they secured quite
a large number of names for q
telephone exchange to be install
led in Logan at once. The officials
took their departure second time
and again they disappointed the
people of Logan in the matter of a
telephone exchange.
Five years ago the Standard
Telephone company came to Lo-
gan asked for and received fran
chise, quietly solicited subscribers
and within a short time the tele-
| phone plant was installed and the
exchange was in operation. AS
stated above with the exception
of the past few months the Stand
ard Telephone company has given
satisfaction to it's patrons.
AS soon as the local exchange
is placed in perfect condition, ar
rangement will be made to extend
telephone facilities to the farms
within a radius of five miles of
Logan,
A contract was made with the
commissioners of Hooking county
last Friday for placing telephone
at the county infrmary; something
very important to the business
men of Logan. All telephones
placed in stores and residences in
town, are on individual wires so
that the subscribers are not an
noyed by the bell ringing to call
others as in the case on party
lines.
The Standard or Citizens Tele-
phone company now has over two
hundred subscribers in Logan,
among business and professional
men and residences; and when the
improvements mentioned shall have
been made, they are confident that

and metallic circuits throughout.
We guarantee that our service is
not experimental.
We propose to add an exchange
plants valuation to your tax du-
plicate in addition to what we
already pay. We desire to become
one of you city industries. We
furnish toll line facilities from
Canada to Mexico and from Maine
to the Mountains.
Arguments are being made by
parties interested in maintaining
a monopoly of your telephone SER
vice that it is bad thing to pat
ronize us. We beg your attention
to the following facts:
These same people used exactly
the opposite argument when they
were trying to get into Lancaster,
Jacksonville, Columbus, GAINESVILLE
and other points where the "Bell"
formerly had a monopoly. Are
they not stullifying now?
They again promise rejuvination
of their plant. That is an old
story.
They are in an especial rush to
do this now-but their activity
started only after they foresaw
competition. They excuse them
selves for being financially tied up.
That is not your fault-you have
given them your exclusive support.
We propose only one year con-
tract, and merit trial. We have
the switchboard and other mater
al ordered for a "Bell" exchange
in Logan right now.
Look at this list and join with
these many people fer better and
more extensive telephone service

improvements to be Made at Once
by the Local Exchange.

Vhe Standard Telephone COM
pany of Logan, commonly known
as the Citizens Telephone com
bany are going to make important
improvements at once. Mr.. A. j.
Lathouse, general superintendent
of the Citizens Telephone
Company and Mr.. N. Yenrick,
manager of the Lancaster and Lo-
gan telephone exchanges were in
Logan several days of the latter
part of last week looking over the
local plant with an eye to the i'm
provements necessary to bring the
same up-to-date, January 1908.
In an interview with these gen
tlemen they stated that within
thirty days the Logan exchange
will have had thorough over
hauling and everything will be put
in first class condition. Three car
loads of poles will be here by the
end of the week; one hundred and
twenty miles of standard wire, to
replace the old wire in use for
several years, four hundred ten
pin cross arms to replace the old
eight pin cross arms now in use,
and sixty new telephones for that
number of new subscribers now on
the books of the local exchange
are included in the material that
will be shipped to Logan within
the next ten days. The large num-
ber of men necessary to do the
work will be here in a few days
and board for them has been Sc
cured at the Central hotel. New
poles will be placed wherever nee
essary, and every telephone now
in use will be gone over and placed
in perfect working order. The
switch board in the local office
will be placed in perfect order and
an automatic addition made to
the same that dispenses with the
crank ringing of the bell by the
operator, thereby doubling the
speed of the board.
The Standard or Citizens Tele-
phone company, frankly admits
that for some time past the SER
vice at the local exchange has
not been quite up to the stand
ard owing to circumstances en-
tirely beyond their control and
now happily removed-but from
now on the Logan telephone ex-
change will be kept in perfect
operating condition and the SER
vice will be first class.
During the past few days there
has been some talk of another
telephone exchange in Logan. In
every town where the experiment
has been tried of having two eX-
changes, it has resulted in fail
ure, and an expensive one at that.
Two exchanges in any town the
size of Logan invaribly interferes
with the efficiency of the service.
Too many cooks spoil the broth,
is an old saying, and two tele-
phone exchanges in Logan would
be one too many. Two telephone
exchanges in Logan would double
the yearly telephone bill of every
merchant and professional man
many of the residence subscribers
who would be forced to install
both phones while getting no more
service than they are receiving
: from the single system now in
operation. A new telephone
system would necessitate new
poles and wires, the tearing up of
the streets and alleys and distruc-
tion Of shade trees.

PEOPLE CONTRACT ANTHRAX.
Man and Woman Near Stella Serious
w III with the Disease.

AUBURN-The disease known as
anthrax, or more popularity called
"blackleg," has began it's ravages ..
this section of the country. About
six weeks ago Clifford Young, who
lives in the vicinity of Stella, con-
tracted the disease in some mysterious
manner. Shortly afterward his sis
ter, Miss Minnie Young, became in
fected. DR.. Montgomery was called
and treated the cases, and Clifford,
while far from well, is recovering but
Miss Minnie, while considerably i'm
proved, is still suffering from alb
scesses.
Here in this county the disease has
broken out in several herds of cattle.
lC is reported that Fred Schele has
lost several head of cattle and that a
fine steer and calf have died from it's
effects on Franz Moerer's place down
on the Muddy.
The disease is sporadic and results
from a germ which becomes malign-
ant in a temperature of SO degrees
centigrade, about the temperature of
the human body. 1t is treated by vac.
cination.
