BurqIarized?

1t was reported upon the street
Tuesday that the Mauger home had
been burglarized early Tuesday morn
ing. This was hardly the case, how
ever. A few days previous Mrs. Maui
ger had put away SIT of church mon
ey. She had no occasion to use the
money so did no go to get it until
Tuesday morning, when she thought
she had better put it in the safe be-
cause she would be away from home
most of the day. When she reached
for the money it was gone, with no
trace of it. The contents of the
drawer was not disturbed and it
seems as though whoever got away
with the money knew where to get it.

One Of the Best Notices For q Yoanl
Man Catering Business.

One Of the Best Notices For a Young
Mnn Entering Business.
The head of one of the largest dry
goods commission houses in this city
was asked the other day how it hap
pened that his partner, upon whom the
principal responsibility Of the business
rests, came to attain that position
while not yet thirty years of age.
Purely and simply on his own mer-
it, he replied. He came into my Of
fee one morning some ten or twelve
years ago and told me that he had just
finished school and was looking for 4
position. ! happened to have a posi-
ton open Mt the time for an office boy
and started him in at S. week. His
rise from that position to the one that
he now occupies was steady and rapid
and was due entirely to the fact that
after having received an order Or in
structions he could be relied upon to
carry them out. and do it correctly too.
He never started off on anything half
cooked so to speak. He was not
afraid to ask questions and thus get
his instructions straight before under
taking the work in hand. In fact. I
might say that he owes everything to
the fact that he was always accurate
in all that ne did. You may think that
l am preaching sort Of sermon, but
if young men entering business posi-
tons. whether high or low. would take
for their motto the two words. BE ac-
curate,' and would live up to it there
need be no fear Of the ultimate out
come of their undertaking." - New

Death Sentence.
CHAIR FOR HIM
COLORED FIEND CRlMlNALLY AS.
SAUlTED WHITE WOMAN AND
LAST NIGHT HE WAS GUARDED
FROM MADDENED MOB.

Roanoke, Va, Feb 2O.-Aurelius
Christian, the negro who criminally
assaulted and then murdered Miss
Mary Dobbs, the fourteen-year-old
daughter of a Botetourt county farm
err, was sentenced yesterday to die in
the electric chair in the state peniten-
tiary on March %.
Christian was taken from Clifton
Forge to Fincastle yesterday and tried
at special sitting Of the court by
Circuit Judge Anderson, who accom-
panied the negro and officers to Fin
castle. The negro was indicted by the
grand jury and Judge Anderson ap'
pointed three lawyers to defend him.
At a conference between the Ivy
ers and the prisoner Christian made a
confession which he later repeated in
court to the judge. The court heard
three witnesses who established the
time and place of the crime. No jury
was summoned.
The Judge accepted Christians con
fession and imposed the death SEN
tence.
The negro said he was hiding in the
woods when Miss Dobbs passed by
on her way to a store. He seized her
and, after assaulting her, cut her
throat and stabbed her three times
ito keep her from telling" Christian
showed no signs of fright.
The sentence came within "a hours
after the crime was committed and
Christian was sent to Fincastle Jail.
The Jail was guarded last night to
prevent any attempt to lynch the
negro.
A mob gathered near Clifton Forge
but agreed not to attempt to lynch
Christian while he was at that
place"
