Ex4MAYOR SLAIN BY BOMB
A. H. Bouseman, of RidgeWay, Va,
Mysteriously Assassinated.
Parts of the Victims Clothing Found
on Roof of House-Aiotive For
Crime Unexplained.

Ridgeway, Va.-Some n threw a
dynamite bomb at A. H. Bouseman,
formerly Mayor of this town on the
lawn in front of his home. The bomb
shattered both his legs and he dice
the next day following an operation.
Mr.. Bouseman told his wife near
bedtime that before retiring he would
rest for a while on the lawn in front
of the house and smoke a cigar. Mrs.
Bouseman had Just entered the house
when she heard a terrific explosion
and turned to see her husband on the
ground. The force of the explosion
had ripped up the earth all around
and the front of the house was torn
by flying iron. The former Mayor
was conscious when doctors who had
been summoned arrived, but was UNI
able to throw any light on his assail-
ant. His legs were amputated and
he died shortly afterward.
Detectives found several sticks of
dynamite in some bushes near the
house and the police have formed the
theory that Mr.. Bouseman's assailant
was a negro. The dead man had been
q police court Judge and much of his
work was with petty ~offenses of the
negro race Also a negro was killed
here recently by a policeman, and at
that time there were threats of re-
venge.
The former Mayor was very popu-
lar and the Ridgeway Council offered
a reward of $500 for the capture of
his murderer.
A part of the fuse of the bomb was
found on the roof of the Bouseman
house, where it had been blown by
the force of the explosion. On the
sides of the houses sixty feet away
blood had been spattered. Bits OF
the clothing we're found on the roof
of an adjoining house.
Bouseman was ffty-five years old.
He left a widaw and sol twelve years
old, both Of whom were Frustrated by
the murder. Bouseman only recently
retired from the office of Mayor. He
declined a denomination. He was ex-
tensively engaged in farming and was
a large grower of cabbage.

Queer Mourning Colors.

There is poetry In mourning colors.
Black typifies the solemn midnight
gloom, the total deprivation Of light
and joy, oecasioned by the loss OF
friends. The Persians mourn in pale
brown, the color OF withered leaves.
The Philippians affect a grayish
brown, the color of the earth to which
the bodies of the dead return. In
Syria sky-blue is the color of mourn
ing, indicative Of the assurance that
the deceased has gone to heaven.
Purple, the mourning of kings, is said
to be derived from the purple gar.
ment which the Roman soldiers put
upon Christ when they mockingly
hailed Him as "King of the Jews

Just Girls.

Girls like freckles-on their rivals
face.
We've known cooking-school girls
who didn't pan out well.
Girls who carry watches in the
belts are guilty of wasting their time.
A girl with coral lips generally
finds some fellow eager to corral
them.
Some girls can stand a man who is
dissipated if his fortune isn't.
A girl who has a large circle of
friends naturally run around a good
deal.
When a girl objects to being kissed
it's a sure sign that the wrong fellow
is trying.-Boston Transcript.

Secretary Loses Entire Surplus of
Fidelity Trust Co. in Speculation.
CASE sTRANGEsT IN HISTORY
August Ropke Tore Up Checks-De-
faulter Covered Up Thefts For
Ten Years by Destroying Clear
ing House Returns.

Louisville, Ky.-As a result of the
examination of the books of August
Ropke. the defaulting assistant secre-
tary of the Fidelity Trust Company,
of this city, at a meeting held by the
stockholders of the company it was
reported by experts from Chicago
hat the entire surplus of the COM
pany. s1,140, 600, had been used by
Ropke.
AS there are several millions of
dollars behind the bank, the Fidelity
will not have to close its doors, al
though the shortage of Ropke is one
Of the largest that has W. been
known in the South. The stockhold-
ers provided for the issue OF $1,000
900 additional stock.
When Ropke was placed under ar
rest 1t was feared there would be a
run on the bank, but instead the de-
p~ositors stood by the bank, and there
has been an actual increase in de-
3esits since that time. The Bell Tel
ephone Company sent a deposit of
100000 several days ago, and other
large sums have been deposited.
The shortage of Ropke is consid-
cred to be the most remarkable one
in the history of banks, as he man
aged to take the money of the banks
year in and year out, for a decade
without being caught. The books
were examined at times, but Ropke
was on hand to aid in the checking

the surplus fund.
The manner in which Ropke man.
aged to rob the bank of so large an
amount was discussed by the stock.
holders at their meeting. That the
Clearing House system he used made
It possible is the opinion of the ex'
perts who are at work on the books
Of the bank. He would give a check
on the Fidelity Trust Company, which
be would turn over to his broker, and
when the check was returned to the
Fidelity through the Clearing House
he would tear it up, thereby hiding
