Alphonse T. Rodgers, of the firm of Rodgers Stranahan, was shot at his residence in the northwestern portion of the city shortly before 4 o'clock by the miscreant who had entered the house to plunder it. Mrs. Rodgers came to the aid of her husband and was also ahot. Mr.

Roduers died from the effects of'his wound and the chances are that his wife will not long survive him. The murderer was captured and identified, and taken from the jail by a mob of citizens and hanged to an electric light pole at Sixth and Kansas avenue Before the. nop se wos adjusted around his neck, he confessed his guilt, and said he was made by the Pieasanton J7eraM, and at its close all seemed of one mind, that the Herald had utterly failed to substantiate its charges, yet it was giving every opportunity for doing so, but the official report of the evidence will soon be given to the press, that all may read and comprehend the truth thereof. The second event of more than ordinary importance, was the arrest and imprisonment in the county jail of S. K.

WM. CHESTNUT, view of it is based on many fragments of evidence obtained from over .100 citizens, being careful to select as intelligent men and women as could be found. They were chosen from as many occupations as possible and from as many social classes. They were asked to estimate the precent- age of loss to the total population to tell how many people of their ac-vuaintance have disappeared; how the gathering of -residents on the streets and in public places compared with the same in former times. Their statements of and estimatesvwere proved, as far as could be, and the pendulum of calculation seems to be beating time when it swings from 1 2,000 to 15,000.

It must be remembered that a very large proportion of the loss is made up of children. How How strikingly frequent is the reference in the death list to "Mrs. Jones and six children," "Mrs. Snaith and five children." In the morgue the little ones lie in dozens where the adults are in half dozens; but there is and has been a tnneh greater difficulty in recovering the bodies of the children. Being lighter and smaller they have ofte nbeen swept into out-of-the-way recesses that are almost inaccessible, as they are more easily carried away.

A very great proportion of the children have been, swept, down the river and their bodies driven in under overhanging banks, under thickets, and in other places where there is only a sparse population and where the search is not carried on in a careful and organized manner. As an illustration of this, justaboveNew Florence some fragments of clothing were in full'yiew of the path on the river bank. Hundreds of people passed the place for three days looking for bodies, but though it was only shreds of worthless cloth they were looking at. Finally somebody poked at the rags with a stick, and a swirl of the current brought a 2-year-old babe to the surface. The drift of opinion among intelligent men, physicians, engineers, railroad men, is that from 1,000 to 1,500 of the bodies will never be found.
