The Rogue River Courier of Grants
Pass, Ore, has the following particulars
of the death of Mr.. Dodge:
IN. P Dodge, one of the best known
and most universally esteemed citizens of
Grants Pass, died at his home in this city
on Monday, Feb. 16. He had been in
poor health Tor some years. For the
past two weeks he had been confined to
his bed and during that time little hope
had been entertained for his recovery.
Several years ago he experienced a stroke
of paralysis, and while he made a partial
recovery. and was afterward able to at
tend somewhat to his business interests,
yet lie never fully recovered. He has
since been subject to attacks of heart
trouble, some OF them very serious, and
these have occurred more frequently in
the past few months"
Nathan Prentiss Dodge was born in
East Montpelier, February 8, 1889. In
1872 he removed to St. Johnsbury and
in 1882 to Northern Idaho. In 1887 he
came to Grants Pass where he has since
resided. He was postmaster in Grant s
Pass for six years and terward entered
the hardware business Of Jewell & Dodge.
In later years he has devoted his atten-
ton to the iusul auce business. He was
an esteemed member OF the Masonic ira
ternity and during his residence here has
been one of the pillars of the Presbyte-
rian church in Grants Pass. His public
and private life was without reproach,
and his cheerful and pleasant disposition
carried him uncomplainingly through all
his afflictions. 1t is doubtful if another
death has ever occurred here which has
produced so widespread and general sor-
row as that OF Mr.. Dodge. He leaves a
wife, Mrs. Mary +. Dodge, of our city.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday
afternoon at the Presbyterian church
and the interment took place at the Odd
Fellows cemetery. The services were
conducted by Rev. Robert Leslie. The
business houses were closed from 2 to 4
O'Clock 2. m, and the funeral was at
tended by large concourse of people" "
Mr.. Dodge was employed at the scale
works during his 10 years residence here
and made many friends by his genial
manner and generous nature. He was
prominent in musical circles and it
was always a delight to hear his rich
bass voice in the church choir or in pub
lie places. He leaves a sister in Burling-
ton and another in New Jersey. HIS
wife is a sister OF Mrs. r. II. Lee and
Charles P. Carpenter of this place and
has many friends who will sympathize
with her in the loss OF husband.

ITY ALMOST BEYOND DE-
ScR!PTIoN.

London, May II. - Communications
received by the Jewish relief societies
of England from Kishenev. kiey and
other cities in South Russia indicate
that the movement against the Jews
has almost universal support. 1t is
stated that this fact is frequently dis
guised. but is also sometimes openly
avowed. The police and soldiers are
represented as utterly callous to the
sufferings even of women and chill
dren, except where the attention of
high officials has been directly called
to the outray3s. Thousands of Jews
are migrating southwark, often with
out any defin.te iGea of whittier they
are bound or of how to obtain food
by the way. The forced exodus from
Kiev alone involves $4,000 persons,
whose losses from the sale of immova-
bic property under duress run into
millions of rubles. The most grievous
aspect of the situation is that no
friendly haven opens before the war
derers.
Little hope is entertained that the
attitude of the Russians will undergo
any substantial change with reference
to the Jews unless. indeed, it should
become still harsher.

"a Jew named Charlton had lost his

which his tongue and windpipe had
been pulled out through his mouth
with pinchers.
"a Jewish girl was assaulted by
several brutes, who then cut her eyes
out with a pocket knife.
Zone woman, after trying to defend
her children, was thrown upon the

and horsehair from her bed were

Postmaster Richard Hodges of this
place was himself responsible for the
blowing up of his postoftice Thursday
afternoon and his own death IN the
explosion. The postmaster's plan to
throw the blame for his shortage upon
a supposed highwayman was clever!y
laid and the subsequent destruction OF
his Office was evidently deemed a
necessity by him to prevent the dis
covery of the fraud on Investigation OF
his accounts. When the books of the
Office were recovered from the wreck
of the building. however, the govern
ment experts had no difficulty in UNI
travelling the plot. The explosion was
supposed to be an accident until the
examination OF his books was COM
menced. i, is conjectured that Hodges
had intended that they should also be
DESTROYED and that he would thus es.
cape detection. The amount of his
shortage has not yet been made pub

proposition to give the new method
trial, and experiments may be made
