A. McRoberts Believed to Have browne

A. McRoberts Believed to Have Drowned.
A few days ago the body of man
was found floating in the Mississippi
river near Bellevue. Iowa, and was
buried in an unmarked grave at
Bellevue. From descriptions of the
person sent out it is believed that it
is the body of A. McRoberts, late of
the Bank of Calmar, and once well
known and prosperous citizen of CAL
mar.
For many years Mr. McRoberts
lived in Calmar, where he was re-
puted to be wealthy, and was highly
thought of. Gradually things began
to go against him, and finally the
bank failed, lie left his home and
wife, and drifted into the life of a
tramp. His wife went to Charles
City, where she managed to support
herself. and keep up the premiums on
his life insurance. She kept track
of him as best she could. and knew
that OF late he had been at Dubuque,
Bellevue, Sabula and Savanna, and
from the descriptions of the body
found in the river she thinks that il
is her husband. 1t is said that the
body will be exhumed and an effort
made to identify it.

The Reporter Seized II and Got His
Real Start In Life.
All the city travelling public loves a
strap hanger because 1t has a fellow
feeling for him. This is why the story
Of how Frank vanderlip, the banker,
got his start has an almost universal
appeal. 1t happened when Vanderlip
was a reporter on a Chicago neWspa-
per and writing financial news. The
traction situation then. as now, was al
most impossible. Charles T. Yerkes
was traction dictator, and the stock
holders and the public never had q
word to say In the conduct of the
roads. Nor could they get any definite
idea of the financial condition of the
properties.
The time for the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the principal road
came along. At all the meetings Mr.
Yerkes had ratified off the reports in
the usual undecipherable corporation
way, and no one knew what was do
ing. So Vanderlip planned a coup.
He bought a share of stock. which
admitted him to the meeting. He had
been a stenographer before he BECAME
a newspaper man. When Mr.. Yerkes
sailed into his breezy explanation of
finances the young reporter took down
everything be said. Mr.. Yerkes used
one striking phrase, and it was this:
'The passengers who have seats pay
the operating expenses. but the strap
hangers pay your dividends"
The next day the sentence topped
Vanderlip's account of the meeting.
It aroused a storm of discussion. for it
laid bare some of the traction methods;
also it got VanderIip a raise in salary
and a promotion.-Saturday Evening

Ways Of the Men Who Lose Their All
~ We'll c4rAa%

In Wall Street.
What becomes of the men who lose
In Wall street. They are seldom heard
of. The visitor to New York gets the
notion that the gay crowd of men at
the Waldorf-the uptown street -
comprises them all. But this crowd
is altogether misrepresentation and has
no true sign value, says a writer on
Wall street in the New Broadway Mag
azine.
You can retain your equilibrium east
Iy in watching them by remembering
that Runner of New Britain is hid
Ing somewhere, a fugitive from JUS
tice; that Jumper of Milwaukee is in
prison; that there are many other men
who went down hard with big crash
es, and that for every one of the big
men there are 10000 little men whose
losses are smaller, but not a whit less
fatal.
You would find some of them tonight
in New York. If you knew in what
window to look. figuring anxiousTy and
endlessly, looking over insurance pa
pers to see If further loans are adj

Their wives are sewing; their daugh-
tiers are studying stenography. You
will find others hanging about hotel

their eye or grip their hands you know

Wall street by day demands the Great
White Way at night. From the mo-
ment the market opens till its close the
game is a fast and furious one of
sharp trickery, clever lodging. raillery,
blufing, hypocrisy, lying.
Nerves are constantly tense; the
brain must be clear and quick at ev-

gray matter, and the flash and festivi-
ty of the Tenderloin at night are just
unnatural enough to fit in and offer
the kind of recreation desired.

TO DISCUSS THE
NEW THEOLOGY
Representatives of Four
Faiths.
Of Present Day Religious Belief As It
Appears To Them.

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Oct. s. (Spec-
iaD-A Jewish rabbi a Congrega-
tional preacher, a Unitarian minister
and an Episcopal rector will take
part in a symposium having for its
object the unifcation of religious
faith, during the Unitarian State con-
ference which opens here to-mor-
row. THE New Theology" is the
general subject of discussion, and the
clergymen of widely varying beliefs
will attempt to arrive at broad un-
derstanding of the liberal trend of
present day religious belief.
The discussion will be perfectly
free, it is promised, and each clergy
man will be allowed the widest lati-
tude in considering the assigned
subject. 1t is believed that the SYM
postum will attract wide attention,
coming at a time when the liberal
movement in theology is attracting
adherents in all parts of the world,
and following closely the Internal
ional Liberal congress in Boston, the
Episcopalian conference in Rich
mond, the Congregationalist con-
gress in Cleveland and the Theoso-
phist meeting in Chicago.
The Unitarians at this meeting ex-
pect to complete plans for the spread
of their activities throughout Iowa
and the Northwest. Consideration of
this work and other important sub
jects, discussions, papers and SER
mons will occupy the three days of
the session, concluding with a ban
quet. The Rev. Wilson Backus of
Chicago, western secretary of the de-
nomination, will preach the confer
ence sermon.
