The Evening Newspaper,

But the spirit which governs the
newspaper world has conquered
everything. 1t sweeps away obsta-
cles which former generation would
have regarded as insurmountable.
Its quickness is the marvel of the
age. Thus it has come about in all
our great American cities that the
evening paper is the record of the
day and its events, from far and
near, great and small, while the
morning paper is necessarily but the
record of yesterday. The fact is
now generally recognized. though
quite reluctantly and for obvious
reasons, by many of those especially
concerned. The evening newspaper
comes to the counting room, the
home. and the club fresh as the
breezes which seem to watt from
other lands the messages which it
contains. The morning newspaper
energies from the darkness. having
been prepared while the millions to
whom it specially appeals for sup
port have been at rest.
This striking change in the jour
nalistic arena is one in accordance
with the methods of the time, and
the Advancement thus noted must
continue. Revolutions of this kind
never 60 backward. The evening
newspaper must continue to increase
in popularity. influence and useful

Nero's Appearances.

In his youth Nero was remarkably
handsome. but early in manhood his
habits of dissipation made him exceed.

His features were regular. but his eyes
were SO protuberant as to be almost q

much SO that he could not recognize his

It is not strange that the southern col

ancestors We're for ages enslaved and
had no rights whatever, even to their

and Ut is only natural that these traits
bred by slavery remain as inherited char
acteristics, now that the negro enjoys

son OF INDIAN JIM
ON THE wARPATH AND NOW BEING
TRACKED WITH BLO0DHOUNDS.
Tried to Murder an Old Soldier at
EIizaviIIe-Negro Emery Moss Gets
Two Years at Marion.
Special to the Indianapolis journal.

LEBANON, Ind, March 23.-For the past
fifteen years Indian Jim Powell and his
two sons, jeff and Yves, have been the
terrors of this vicinity. Up to a few years
ago they lived together in a log house three
miles east of This city. where they would
retreat after having committed some depre-
dation, and successfully resist arrest. About
three years ago Yves was sent to the peni-
tertiary for assault and battery with intent
to kill a neighbor, and Indian JIM moved
to Frankfort, while jeff remained near the
old home and engaged in farming.
About a year ago the houses and barns of
the vicinity began to take fire and burn
up with alarming frequency, and this ceased
after Jeff had been indicted and arrested
on three different charges of arson. He
was successfully defended against all these
and was released a few days ago. Last
night he lay in wait for John Stephenson,
an old soldier who had testified against
him, and assaulted him with a rock tied in
a handkerchief. seriously injuring him, just
as the latter was entering the church at
Elizaville, eight miles north of this city.
Stephenson's cries brought help, but Powell
escaped.
A posse was at once organized and, after
an all-night search, two of the officers came
on him at the home of Hugh Bercaw.
Powell stepped out and told them they could
not take him alive and the officers, know
ing the character of the man, allowed him
to escape while they went after reinforce
ments. Bloodhounds were put on the trail
| to-day, and he is being tracked toward
Frankfort. Should he reach his fathers
home there will, doubtless, be bloodshed
| before he is taken. The citizens OF the
| vicinity were highly excited last night, and
had Powell fallen into their hands, he would
have Jared badly. Stephenson's head is
badly pounded and he may not recover.
FRANKFORT, Ind, March 23.-At Eliza
Vile, over the line in Boone county, last
| night. Jefferson Powell made a murderous
| assault on John Stephenson. beating him
| almost to death WITH a rock tied in a
| handkerchief. Powell called his victim out
| of the village church, asSaulting him in the
| yard. Powell made his escape and a posse
of men with q couple of bloodhounds are
now looking for the would-be murderer.
Powell is a desperate and has done time"
