[blank line]
[Footnote 3: The <i>Chicago Tribune</i> and the <i>Record-Herald</i> effectively exposed the
affair. <i>Cf.</i> <i>Colliers Weekly</i>, May 4, 1907, for a good rèsumè.]

Marked for different reasons

"Cf." is an abbreviation, so period goes inside. It's italicized because Latin often is. "Colliers Weekly" is italicized because it's the name of a magazine. Different reasons, so mark them separately.
