JACOB S. ROGERS DEAD.
Eccentric Builder of American Loco
motives Dies as He Had Lived, Alone.

New York. June Jacob $. Rogers,
famous American builder OF locomotives
and the wealthiest citizen of New Jersey.
died in the Union League Club in this
city to-day OF the effects OF the heat.
The exact hour of his death is not known.
Jacob S. Rogers died as he had lived
alone. He was one of the most eccentric
characters New York has known. II his
often expressed wishes are followed there
will be no funeral ceremony. Having few
intimate friends and fewer relatives he
felt that any show OF grief because Of his
death would be hypocritical, and he de
spised hypocrisy.
Secretive to a remarkable degree. Mr..
Rogers never let ID be known, even APP
proximately, how much he was worth.
Many estimated his wealth at $s0OO0,0O0;
more conservative persons divided that
amount by ten. He was born in 1924 and
succeeded in 1856 to the lomotive business
Of his father, Thomas Rogers. who con-
structed the first locomotive made in
America. Recently Mr.. Rogers decided to
close the works, and they have been sold,
the sale at present being the subject Of
litigation.

the fierce storm of this afternoon be-

Cahokia. and instead of seeking a farm
house for shelter from the storm, the
men and boys gathered around a tall
sycamore tree. Suddenly the tree was
enwrapped with brilliant phosDhores-

lowed was heard for miles. When eit-
zens of Cahokia discovered them, they
found three of them dead and had much
difficulty in resuscitating the others.
None were marked the lightning showing
its effect principally in the feet of each

THE KIowA RESERVATION.
Its Settlement Provided for by Act

of Congress.
Washington, July 2.-The report from
DeEnison, Tex, of the formation of
company to make rush for the Kiowa
lands in Oklahoma on the theory that
they are now public lands. and subject to
homestead settlement, and that no restric-
lions can be placed on their settlement,
is a reiteration of a claim that the in
terror department already. has found
groundless. Congress last March passed
a law governing the subject, which super
sedes all prior laws. and which provides
that the President, in his proclamation.
shall prescribe the manner in which these
lands may be settled on, occupied and
entered, and prohibiting any violation of
such provisions. The interior department
holds unqualihedly that no man can set
tie on the lands III violation of the proc
lamation, and that anyone who attempts
to do so, will be precluded from obtain
ing any of the lands, and probably will
subject himself to prosecution.
