STILL At LARGE.-James Lewis, the
negro who is charged with criminaliy
assaulting Mrs. Ida Riedel at her home
on Rose Hill farm, in Fairfax county,
at an early hour yesterday morning, is
still at large. Every possible effort.
however, is being made to capture him.
The police in this city and Washington
are on the lookout for him and large
number of citizens in the neighborhood
where the assault was committed, are
securing the country in search of him.
Lewis was in the city on Tuesday night
and after a quarrel with his wife left,
saying he was going to Charlottesville.
His absence from the city confirms the
belief entertained by the police that he
is the man wanted. The report that
Mrs. Riedel was in critical condition
is incorrect.

In line of Wraps, Underwear, Ho iery,

leaving us the very small and the very large
sizes. Then, again, articles become soiled,
marred, aud otherwise dcfaced from handling
and displsying-and so on. From these varl-
GUS sources remnants accumulate very rapid
ly. Our policy demands their absolute and
immediate clearance in order to keep the
stocks fresh, bright, aud up to date in every
particular.
Hence Friday of each week is devoted to
the selling OF acknowledgements, remain-

sion, and the prices in many cases are half

peculiar situation of the tribos over
there What shall be- done with their

therefore have 1000 acres aud will be

Tho full bloods do not want the

do and they are in a large majority,
and 80 in few years the Indiana nu-
tonomy will be gone forever aud ho
will be extinRuished as a ward of the
nation. In few years the five civil
lied tribes will lose their identity and
their lands will be absorbed In the
notified masses OF American humanity.
This Is what those papers say, and
they are ably edited. What n sad
finale TO a once proud, rich and happy
race Of people. These papers tell Of
an $50, 600 steal and q $500, 900 steal,

"That they may take who have the power.
And they may keep who can"
Speaking Of Indians haunting me, I
received letter from a northern gen
tleman asking me as a great favor to
get for him an ancient ante-bellum
powder horn-one with a history il
possible. Well, they are all ante-bel-
lum, aud so l found one that had been
laid aside for half century-one that
carried powder in Jackson's war with
the Seminoles in Florida, and has the
odor of dead Indians and no doubt has
been in at the death of bears and pan
theirs and wildcats innumerable. l
remember when these powder horns
had rank and standing in the house
and children looked upon them with
fear and reverence, but one day the
percussion lock came along and soon
after the breech-loader came along, and
the powder horn was hung on high
nail and has been hanging there ever
since. Like the Indians bow and ar
row, it has surrendered to the march
of progress and civilization. BILL
