NATIONS POPULATION
SIXTY-TW0 AND A. HALF MILLIONS. SOME
VERY DISAPPOINTING FIGURES.

Washington, d. G., Oct. 81
The population of the United
States as shown by a census bull

These figures may be slightly
changed by later and more exact
compilations, but such change will
not be material. In 1880 the
population was 50,155. 1863. The
absolute increase Of the popula-
ton IN the ten years intervening
was 12,324,557, and the ner cent
age of Increase was 24.57. In
1870 the population was stated as
3s,55S,3Tl.
According to these figures the
absolute increase in the decade
between 1870 ana 1880 was H.
597, 412, and the per centage of in
crease was 30.0S. Upon their face
these figures show that the popu-
lation has increased between 1880
land 1890, only 727,247 more than
between 1870 and 1850, when the
rate of increase has apparently
diminished from 3O.0sto 24.57 per

-eduction in the rate Of increase

reduction in the rate Of increase
in the face Of the enormous i'm
tmigration during the past ten
years would argue a great diminu-
ton in the fecundity Of the popu-
latfon, ora corresponding increase
in its death rate. These figures
are, however, easily explained
when the character of the data
used il understood. 1t is well
known, the fact having been dem
onstsated by extensive and thor
ough investigation, that the census
Of 1St0-was grossly deficient in
the Southern States, so much SO as
not only to- givean" exaggerated
rate Of increase in the population
between 1870 and 1880 in those
States but to affect very materially
the rate Of increase in the country

Special to the Gazette.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Dec. l2.-United
States Marshal Tracey made public the
fact this evening that Deputy Mar
shat K. NJ. Roper had been most horribly
murdered In Texas county during the
past week by body of men known as
Homestead Intimidators, who are in
reality q lot OF Illicit whisky dealers.
Roper has been after these men for some
time. Last week he went to the portion
o: the county known 10 be their resort.
and nothing further was heard of the
deputy until Yesterday, when boy rode
iuto Roda al | said that Ropsr's body
had been found in tie camp. with the
head cut off with an ak. A party at
once went TO the scene OF the killing
aud found the body as indicated. Roper
had evidently made a hard struggle
for mis- life. aud had been overpowered
by force of numbers. He was power
full man, and one who would not easily
be caught off his guard. The section of
Texas county where the crime was COM
mitted is ruled by the same class of peo-
pie who made the Bald knobber organi-
cation famous. and they have completely
terrorized the county, so it is almost i'm
possible to have the murderers hunted
down without sending men there from
the outside. Marshal Tracey will. at
once take steps TO bring the murderers to
justice. and has directed that the work
of running them down begging at once.
One man has already been arrested.
