Will Raise Prices.

The Northern Iowa Telephone Co.
have issued notice that on October
l, 1903, they will raise the rental Of
phones on their line. With the
notice they issue sta atement, showing
expenditures and receipts of the COM
pany, and giving reasons for making
the proposed change in rates. Under
the present rate the system barely
pays running expenses and leaves
nothing to offset the depreciation of
value; and it goes without saying that
the system depreciates with age. The
raise will be 25 cents per month on
each phone, and then the price does
not seem exorbi tant. The service has
heretofore been rendered at very low
price, and one which does not pay, and
the company's demands are, in our
estimation, reasonable. The telephone
is great convenience to farmer and
the townspeople, and we should be
willing to pay a reasonable price for
service. We would ask our readers to
consider the proposition before com.
planning of the ''high rate" Think
OF the steps it saves you and of the
thousand and one ways it helps you
and adds to your comfort. Tis worth
the price.-The Vidette.

81 PER YEAR
Some Early Howard County History


promulgate a general proclamation of
amnesty to his misguided and deluded
countrYmen, so honorable in all its
provisions as to have restored peace
and federal union upon basis of
mutual love and good will with the
constitu tional restrictions and limita-
tions set for the administration Of
government by the Fathers. Thus it
would seem all our calamities are con-
centrated in the fatal moment to over
whelm the people with untold affections
and calamitieS. His voice will be
heard no more in the cabinet echoing
the words of peace and forgiveness
that he so strongly uttered short
time before passing into eternity. The
living always honor the dead in COM
pleting their unfinished labor Of love.
No filter or better tribute can be given
to the memory of the deceased by those
in power than the fulfillment of his
wishes. No filter requiem to the
memory of Abraham Lincoln than the
song of peace swelling up from the
grateful hearts of his countrymen.
Abraham Lincoln needs and asks no
hecatombs-let his grave forever re-
main unpolluted by the blood of his
countrymen slain for revenge. Let
the law in its majestic firmness and
rigor deal with the murderer, but the
work Of statesmen and the mission of
the hour is peace. Let not the horrid
deeds of single individual, prompted
by his own wicked and unnatural i'm
pulses, shape the policy Of strong
government and blight forever the
hopes that so recently electrified the
whole continent. Let not the legiti-
mate sorrow of the people for their
chosen ruler degenerate into an unre-
! lenting, vindictive hatred toward a
people wholly unconscious of the terri
BILE crime that has been committed
Rather let it be said that the germ of
peace was planted by the hand Of the
venerable dead, and that his successors
will nourish and cherish it until it
shall flourish as tree planted by
living waters, and become monument
to his fame.

"The Presidential Assassination
The land is in mourning! A great
man has fallen! The hand of an
assassin has stricken down in the prime
of life the chosen ruler of the people.!!
A pail overshadows the land in W hose
darkness dwell chilled and awe
struck people. 1t is not alone in the
flags Tapping at half-mast, or the
gloomy appearance of draped facades
that we see the evidences of a brother
hood of sorrow; but in the thoughtful
looks, the solemn sadness, the down
cast eyes, and deeply subdued tones of
all classes, ages, and conditions that
we discern the impressive tokens of
popular sorrow.
Never in our history as people have
we had such cause for lamentation.
Had our Chief Magistrate been re-
moved from the scene of his usefulness
by disease or accidentinsteado of having
been stricken down by the brutal rage
of a wild and infuriated assassin, the
shock would have been less severe to
the moral sensibilities and refinement
of the age. Itis an assault upon the
character and representation of the
people In our form of government; it
is an insult to the soyereigns, to the
people, by striking out of existence
the chosen representative of their
sovereignty. This, too, when at the
very gateway of peace, which he was
about to enter with the American
people, makes it calamity embody-
ing all that is dark and calamitous
and horrible at this crisis of the Re-
public.
The grave misfortunes to result to
our torn and bleeding country from
Mr.. Lincoln's death can not be es-
timated. Should his successor reject
the conciliatory policy which Mr..
Lincoln had decided to adopt for the
restoration of the bonds of fraternal
peace and union among all the people,
then indeed will his loss prove ire
parable.

Panama Canal

The opponents of the Panama Canal
created sensation this week by ques-
tioning the legality of the Columbian
government, and the authenticity ct
the credentials of DR.. Herran, the
Colombian Charge Daffairs. Senator
Morgan told your correspondent that lie
regarded Colombia as in a chaotic
state, governed by a military dictator,
unfit to negotiate a treaty at all. He
did not believe that the treaty would
ever stand once the normal state of
the government was restored. Df.
Herran. on the other hand, informs
your correspondent that there IS no
ground for Senator Morgan's charges.
He asserts that the Colombian Gov
ernment is now in a normal state and
that order prevails generally through
out the republic. He exhibited to the
writer his credentials, duly authenti-
Gated and bearing the attest of Nj.
Hart, the United States Minister to
Begota. Since then, he has filed his
credentials with the State department.
With regard to the legality of Presi-
den Marroquin's tenure of office, Dr.
Herran states that it is the custom
of Colombia to elect president, an
alternate and vice president VINO
presides over the Senate and succeeds
to the presidency in the event OF the
death of the president and alternate
President Marroquin was elected vice
president and both the president and
the alternate have since died, SO that
he is legally, as we'll as actually
president of Colombia.
