the Triumph gooseberry is a great i'm

A Relentless Thief Hunter.

An express company is the most relentless
pursuer of criminal in existence. Tho
chase may be abandoned by the authorities,
the robbery may pass outof the public mind,
but the defrauded company never forgets
and never gives up, 1t is only satisfied wken
the thief is behind the bars, and the proceeds
of his rascality recovered. The latest exam
pie of this policy has to do with the arrest in
Spanish Honduras recently of Edmund Stur-
gis Crawford. The man was messenger for
the American Exchange National bank of
New York city. On May 4, 1888, he deliy.

tanning S4l 600 to be forwarded to the United
States treasury at Washington.
The,packnge received, at the treasury con-
tanned only slips of brown paper. No clew
could be found to the thief, and the express
company made good the loss to the bank.
Then its officials set the private detectives to
work Suspicion narrowed down to Craw-
ford He retained his place as messenger for
several months after the robbery. Then he
resigned and went to Honduras. A disguised
detective sailed with him. In Central Amer

said to have been brought home to him, and
he is under arrest. The express company
spent over $50, 900 to accomplish its object.

My room was entered yesterday after
noon, as published in your paper. The po-
lice were notified within an hour of the &C.
currence and furnished with very plain
description If the thief. Still, nothing has
been heard from them regarding him, and
doubt if anything has been done in the
matter. Are our police asleep or are they
incompetent l think something ought to
be done to check this evil. Nearly every
day one reads OF persons being held up,
knocked down and robbed and houses and
rooms entered und despoiled of valuables.
Where are our valuable 60 police all this
times Ii, as they claim, the force is too
small why do they not increase it! think
PERSONS life and property are worth
more than free water and free speech. If
something is not done, and done soon, there
will be many dead Liberals on next cleo

WHEN TO SOW GRASS SEED.
What Charles L. Flint Has to Say on Th
Subject.

What Charles L. Flint Has to Say on This
Subject.
Differing conditions of soil and climate
are in part responsible for the many and
diverse opinions or agriculturists as to
the best season for sowing grass seed.
Charles L. Flint, recognized authority,
in his work on Grasses and Forage
Plants sums up the question substan-
italy as follows:
More than sixty years ago careful ex-
periments were made in the hope of OBJ
tanning such information as would settle
the question as to the time of sowing
grass seed, and the practice of seeding
down in the fall was then commenced by
a few individuals. At or before that
time the practice of sowing in the spring
was universal, and the same custom has
very generally prevailed till within a
very few years. Both the practice and
| the opinion of the best practical farm
ers in the northern and eastern states
have changed to considerable extent,
and it is now commonly thought best to
sow grass seed in the fail, early in Sep
TENDER if possible, though there are, and
always will be, some cases where the
practice of sowing in the spring with
grain is convenient and judicious.
1t will be found that no season is with
out its exposure to loss; for if we SOW in
autumn and have an open and severe
winter, with frequent changes from
comparatively warm and thawing wealth
er to excessive cold, the young grass
will be likely to suffer, while if we SOW
in spring with some kind of grain, as
oats, barley or rye, and have drought il
spring and summer, as we generally do
the grass may be injured and may be en-
tirely killed. No inyariabie rule for al
soils and seasons can be given, but tbs
weight of authority seems to fix upor
early autumn as the best season to SOW
grass seed, sowing it alone without ;
grain crop; and the losses from prope
seeding down at that season arc proba
bly, considerably less in an average o
| years than those which arise from /;
! spring sowing with grain.

break the troops rallied, surrounded the
barn, and pitched battle ensued, several
outlaws being killed and wounded.
All this on account Of feud between the
Towards and Turner's, which has ragged
for eight years and caused the killing and
wounding of some fifty persons. In con-
clusion it is well to remember that there
are two Kentuckies-the magnificent CEN
trail and western region, with as low per-
centage of crime as any part of the nation,
