ed. Iowa City has another institution
and oddly enough he is of the same
race. He is Jake Reizenstein. Lots
of people and lots of old students
affect to look condescendingly on him
and call him sJakey'' and otherwise
show their superiority. but, in. their
heart of hearts. they know that Jake
Reizenstein is the brainiest man in
Iowa City. He is newspaper man.
The kind things he has said. the
wounds he has helped to heal, the
sorrows he has comforted, the ambi-
lions he has fostered have done more
good for the souls of Iowa City than
all the hospitals have for the bodies.
The Recording Angel has separate
department looking after Jake's good
deeds. He has that glorious optimism
that keeps him perennially a boy.
That is why iowa City people can
not take him seriously. He would
give dollars to find the good in man
any day. The children and the dogs
love Jake. That is another good sign.
Jake is not rich, goud newspaper men
never get that way. But we believe
that no man in Iowa City would be
more greatly missed. no one has
reached so many hearts as "Jakey'
the boy who is always mentioned
with a smile.
Dear old Iowa City. you have been
much abused and greatly slandered.
but you are the kindliest. most low
able of cities. The university has
changed beyond recognition but Sc
long as the old town is there. SC
long as there are friendly faces tic
greet the old boys returning it will
ever be joy to tread your streets
once more.
Secretary Taft was glad surprise.
From the papers we had pictured him
as logy fat man. of the Ben Par
ker variety. A man who would de-
light the heart of the manager of the
dime musee. Taft has plenty of avoir-
dupois. He would make about three
of us physically and at least dozer
of us mentally. He is quick both in
action and in thought. His oratory Is
NOT of the magnetic type. He does
not approach Bryan in power or Shaw
in force, or Cochran in eloquence. but
he is statesmanlike. full of gooc
sense. we'll expressed. cogent in his
reasoning and for candidate, APP
parently unafraid of the consequence
of speaking his mind freely. We en-
joyed his three addresses. There
was nothing of the s'grand stand
! about them. They did not appeal to
one as the plea of the vote-gettel
but. as the honest talk of man who
had the best interests, not of himself,
but of his country at heart. He had
a strenuous day at Iowa City and we
were not surprised to learn that he
was taken suddenly i'll at Minneapolis

MARKET WAS WEAK
Caused By BarTiman's Order For Sweeping Reductions
 0D His Railroads.

New York, Oct. 12.-The stock market opened very weak to-day, number of leading stocks selling down to almost the level of the panic of last March. The gossip of the fln- ancial district in explanation of this decline was based on a rumor that B. H. Hartman had given orders for sweeping reductions on every railroad line which he controls.
 MT Hartman gave out a denial that any such orders had been given. Wall street, II a. m.-Alarm was caused by the terms of an order at tributed to E. H. Hartman to cut down expenses in every department of the railroad systems under his con- trol on accountof the stringency in the money market. The throwing over of the Hartman stocks gave a demoralized tone to the whole mar ket. Union Pacific slumped 4 4B, to 116A and Southern Pacific 3 points, to 751s. Other losse were: Great Western pfd A g. Westinghouse Elec- tric F, Norfolk & Western ufd 5;i St Louis Southwestern pfd and U. s. Pipe 5, Delaware & Hudson 4, Read ing, American Smelling, American Steel Foundries pfd, Virginia Caro- lima Chemical pfd, Sugar, National Lead, Great Northern pfd, and North. ern Pacific 3 to 21a and the list gen. erally from 1 to points. Bethlehem Steel pfd sold at an advance of 5. There were some violent rebounds when the bears rushed to take the profits.

No Immunity For Oil Maarates.

Washington, Oct. 12.-The high off, cials and controlling spirits of the Standard Oil company will not get an- other immunity bath. After two hours consultation held by Attorney General Bonaparte, Frank B. Kellogg and c. B. Morrison, former district at torney at Chicago, it was declared that during the inquiry now. being conduct ed in New York none of the high Standard oil officials will be called to testify. Mir. Kellogg will not put on the stand either John D. Rockefeller, H. H. Rogers, J. D. Archbold or H. NJ. Flagler. This does not mean necessa- rily that subsequent action will be talk en against these men. but the way will be left open for such a course if cir cumstances warrant.

TRUSTY GONE WRONG
Confidential Manager of Stock Exchange is Charged With
 Stealing Check.

New York, Oct 12.-George H., Brouwer, confidential manager Of the stock exchange firm of James Il. oi!- phant x Co, who is directly charged with the larceny of check of $2,7oo. the property of Jay F. Carlisle ana who is held under heavy bail at the reouest of the district attorneys Of fee in the belief that there are large discrepancies in his accounts, mas been considered one of the most trustworthy managers in the f1nanclal district. He has held his position With Oliphant X Co for six years. He is q fine looking man of B years and he lived quietly with his family Ill Brooklyn. Not the slightest suspicion had ever rested on him until recent ly.
 Mir Carlisle. who had desk room III the Oliphant office, went to Europe a few months ago. Before leaving he had been negotiating for the sale or farm which he owned, MT Car lisle intrusted Brouwer with the mat ter. He told Brouwer if sale was made to turn over the sum received to MT Oliphant The farm was sold and Brouwer received in payment a check for $2,750,
 A few days ago, MT Carlisle. short ly after his return from abroad, learned quite by accident that the farm had been sold and that the check had been turned over. to the mana ger. Brouwer. it is claimed. cashed the check and kept the proceeds.
 When confronted with the cancel- led check, Brouwer broke down and confessed. He said he had spent the money.
 It was deemed wise then to look into Brouwer's dealings with the firm and many irregularities. it is said, were found. James H ,Oliphant said that the firms losses might reach S1O0.O00.
 Bail in Brouwer's. case was fixed at $3O,00O. but he had bondsmen on hand when brought to court and was released on bail.
 Brouwer is said to have speculated heavily in the market and the recent slump wiped away his investments.
