By One of His Lifelong Friends

any man in this life to attain perfec-
| tion--far from it. Every man has his
weak points, but with our friend, all
who knew him best in this community
where he has SO long lived, will read
lily accord to him the verdict that he
builded we'll and honorably, as a citi-
zen, husband and father.
AS the saying is, he was an all
round man, with no brilliant points.
His most prominent faculty fitted him
well for the LIES business he followed
that of a banker. He would have
stood high in that calling wherever
his lot had been cast. Though of a
modest and unobtrusive turn of mind,
his quiet kindly going in and out in
this community will be greatly missed.
shall miss him very much, because
of our mutually trustful associations,
that whiled away many and frequent
hours in conversation. The few still
living here of those with whom I was
associated socially and in business
way, half a century ago, and whose
memories run back with mine, to the
early days of this city, are becoming
now, so very few, that the narrowing
circle which once enclosed them will
soon fade away, and note the hour
when for them and me it may be said,
This is the end of earth"
Indulge me for moment, as still
linger here, occupying this early tene-
ment after the recent passing of the
two friends mentioned, what blessed
rift of glorious light shines into the
soul through this second birth or So
called death to gladden. ones heart
and silence the sting of earthly part
ing. For reason plainly teaches that
the mind, the soul, which can go down
into the bosom of the earth, and trace
the handiwork of the Almighty in the
creation of this world, age upon age,
and then take wings, as it were, upon
itself and wander among the planets,
and accurately calculate their mo
lions to the minute, it shall never die,
but go on eternally loving and climb
ing up toward the Infinite One.

BY A. H. HAMILTON.

w. B. Bonnifield, who was born in
Randolph county, Va, Feb. %, 1927,
and passed away Aug. 8, 1908, had
known for SO years. l first became
acquainted with him in 1849 at Ale
ghany college, Meadville, Pa, where
we were both students. At the same
time the late Hon. VIM. B. Allison
was student there, and the death of
these two friends, so near together,
comes home to me with admonishing
force. After leaving college, Mr. Bon
nifield, with four. of his brothers,
crossed the plains to California, in
1858, driving herd of about 100 head
OF cattle. There was then no settle
ment west of the Missouri river, and
it was desperate undertaking to take
a herd of cattle safely through the
desert plains inhabited only by the
thieving, treacherous Indians of that
day. That they succeeded with little
loss Of cattle and the retention Of
their own scalps, evinced pluck, en-
ergy and ceaseless watchfulness on
their part.
My acquaintance with Mr.. Bonni-
field was again renewed in 1860 when
he took up his home here in this city,
and started a private banking institu-
ton, which in 1863 became the First
National bank of Ottumwa, and which
was the first national bank organized
in Iowa, and No. LOT of all those or
gained in the United States. 1t has
grown under his leadership keeping
abreast with the growth of the city,
and at all times maintained the I'M
questioned confidence of the people.
Whenever the bank was spoken of. it
was always coupled with the sturdy,
careful, conservative and honest char
acter of it's president. His name cast
out fear and even all suspicion.
After the close of the war of the re-
bellion, on my return home, our friend
ship became intimate and our
social and business relations were
marked by that trust in each other
which is next door to that obtaining
between brothers. 1t is not given to

GOVERNMENT
MAY CHECK
WAR ON ROADS
ADMINISTRATION is BELIEVED
TO BE PLANNING FOR THE
AMENDMENT OF LAW-TExAS
STARTS RATE FIGHT.

Washington. y C., Aug 12- Cen
gress is to be presented with further
advice next winter in the line of
amending the Sherman antitrust law,
and the administration bids fair to be
close behind the scheme. A means by
which railroads may form traffic
agreements without laying themselves
liable to prosecution under the law
prohibiting combinations in restraint
of trade will be sought.
A week of endeayor on the part of
officials of the Texas railway commits
rate increase in that territory has
brought the subject up for earnest con
sideration. A government official who
has given deep thought to such mat
tiers expressed the belief today that
the Sherman law would be amended
so that there will be no further doubt
as to what its trainers originally in
tended should be the right of common
carriers as to tariff agreements In his
opinion the law never was intended
to cover the phase of combination
which the Texans apparently have
demonstrated.
Through argument presented by the
assistant attorney general of Texas to
the commission and through tele-
gram sent to President Roosevelt by
Senator Culbertson, it was shown that
there had been general combination
of all railroads leading to the south
and a mutual agreement to increase
the freight rate. They called upon the
interstate commerce commission to
present the case to the department of
justice and upon the President him
self to order some action taken under
the antitrust law.
Knapp Against Federal Suits.
1t is contended here that it is only
fair to the railroads to allow them to
maintain uniform rate, whether high
or low, without mutual agreement to
observe it. Chairman Knapp of the in
terstate commerce commission has
openly expressed himself as opposed
to suits by the legal branch of the gov
eminent in such cases. He maintains
that the powers of his commission are
now broad enough to establish the JUS
tice of rate adjustments and agree
ments.
While it is freely limited that the adj
ministration will stand behind the
movement to urge upon congress the
necessity OF amending the antitrust
law, the burden Of the open fight, is
said to be taken up by the railroads
themselves.
The railroad commission of Texas
yesterday filed a complaint with the in
terstate commerce commission against
sixty-seven railroads and other COM
mon carriers, alleging a conspiracy
through the Southwestern Traffic asso-
citation for the suppression of competi-
ton and restraint of trade by increas-
ing freight rates to common points in
Texas. The commission will give the
defendants Is days to reply.
