DRIVING OUT THE CROOKS.
The Secret Service Soaring the Bad MeT
Away from the Fair.

Away from the Fair.
The very small number of arrests OF
crooks at the fair has been frequently
commented on. and some people have
wondered whether Chief BOnfield's
force of astute detectives has been
earning its pay. The truth Of the mat
ter Is. the crooks are keeping away
from Jackson park. Now and then
one more bold than the rest enters the
fair gates and is soon discovered by
Bonfield's men. As a result. no corr
plants of persons being robbed at the
fair are being made.
Talking of crooks in general and the
possible figure they may cut at the
worlds fair. Chief B)nfeld said:
$50 far as the fair grounds are con-
cerned we have seen very few profess
SIGNALS around. and those whom our
men have spotted are usually men who
have served time for their offenSes and
against whom there i nothing except
suspicion on account of previous rec
orGs We have men who have had OPP
portunities to become familiar with
nearly all the prominent crooks of the
country. and when any of these crooks
come around the grounds they find they
are recognized at once and usually DO
not stay long. Even IL they had any
idea OF going into the crooked bust
ness again they would not be likely To
carry on operations at the grounds, as
they are shrewd enough to know that
they would be the first upon whom sus-
picion would fall.
There was man in the grounds the
other day who five years ago had an in
ternational reputation as a crock. but
he has served time for his otfense and
now claims to have reformed and to be
engaged in legitimate business. 1t
would. of course. be an Injustice 70 such
q man to order him of the grounds or
even to give his name to the press. AL
we can do under the circumstances is to
let such men understand that they are
known, and that precautionary interest
is being taken in their behalf. This
usually has the desired effect of getting
rid ot them if they como with the intent
OF doing mischief.
My men outside the grounds advise
me that they have noticed good many
foreign crooks about the city-con-
idence and bunko men-but as get we
have had no intimation that they have
commenced operation. They are being
Swallowed. and if they make any moves
in the wrong direction they will quickly
be taken in.
Most of the complaints which have
reached US so far are of the loss of tools
and other articles belonging to the
workmen about the grounds, and in the
majority of cases these losses have
turned out to be cases Of misplacing the
articles in question. and they have gen
orally been recovered 1t is rather
early, anyhow. to expect much trouble

HOW TO CATCH COLTS.
The Young Animals Are Won Most Easily
by Kindness.

by Kindness.
When it is difficult to catch a young
horse IN pasture, go through the field
once or twice daily where ne is feeding.
Walk as near as possible to him with
out disturbing him. If the horse runs,
keep straight on and pay him no atten-
ton. After few days. when he finds
he is not chased. he will let one pass
quite near him. When this point has
been gained carry some oats or a small
dish of salt and sugar mixed in equal
quantities, and when near enough for
him to see it drop handful in smooth
place where he can find it, and go on.
The horse will usually investigate at
once and eat what has been left for him
After repeating this few times he
will most likely be on the watch and
instead OF running will come 20 meet
the dish. After accomplishing so
much reach some grain or sugar in the
hand toward him. He will shy at first,
but afterward will approach and taste
it, very likely running away on the in
slant Let him go, speak to him kind
" and move off in the opposite direc-
ton. Follow this up until when one
enters the pasture the horse will ap-
proach him.
Always have dainty bit for him. A
pocket full of sweet apples is an excel
lent bait, and few Jumps of sugar
also. Let him hunt for them in the
pocket. When he comes near you push
him away carelessly, but gently, as if
you didn't care to have him quite so ia
miliar. Almost any horse can be made
50 tame in a short time by this method
that he will suffer himself TO be caught,
provided he is approached properly

The so-Calied Old Method Compared

The old method of deep cultivation
up to the time the coru is too large to
run in the rows safely with the horse
and cultivator, is being abandoned. 1t
is now found that the first two
CIVILIZATIONS may to an advantage be
deep as weed deStroyers. but after the
roots begin to run out well in the rows
shallow cultivation is best. The dis
turbing or cutting of the roots by deep
cultivation is now considered mistake.
Breaking and checking the roots in hot
weather will surely cause the corn to
curl and appear to suffer as from pro-
tracted drought. Shallow cultivation
at the same period merely stirs the soil
above the roots and leaves the soil in
the proper loose or porous condition to
secure best growing results
The main objects in cultivation are to
keep down the weeds and at the same
time leave the soil in a condition to
best absorb moisture and atmosphere.
Killing corn has also been done away

the corn has been planted from one and
half to two inches deep and level
culture followed, better results follow
With level culture the corn is not so
easily blown down and stands drought

Corn responds quickly to timely culti-
walton, and there is no crop that neg
lect more seriously affects than corn.
Regarding the distance apart the rows
or hills should be and how many stalks
should be left in a hill and the
distance apart the stalks should stand
in the rows, all depends on the soils
fertility. The Judgment of the intelli-
gent farmer can best determine which
will be best for his land. General adj
vice on this subject cannot be given
without knowing the characteristics of
soils on which the corn is to grow, etc
Regarding manures for the corn crop,
it may also be said different soils re-
quire different plant foods and only
tests will determine which are best for

A Mistake That Some People Are

The beautiful weather of the past
few DAYS has done much for the great
fair. People have been able TO get out
without umbrellas and wraps, and a
trip to jackson park has become some
thing more like pleasure than 1t has
been heretofore since the opening. The
effect upon the receipts at the fair gates
has been to nearly double the daily adj
missions, a fact which affords the finan-
ciers OF the great enterprise much salts
faction.
The tide of traffic may now be said to
have fairly set in. and should the
weather continue favorable the daily
attendance will soon put the exposition
on something like a paving footing.
To Judge from the number of persons
who are to be seen on the grounds each
day a casual observer would suppose
the gate receipts TO be much larger
than they really are. but there is a
force of several thousands of workmen,
and population of several thousands
more who are domiciled permanently
within the Enclosure, so the size of
the crowd is no guide in estimating the
number of paid admissions. Besides
there are the press representatives and
favored individuals in other professions
who have passes Altogether there are
a great many non-paying visitors who,
while they help to swell the crowd. do
not contribute very materially to the
financial success of the enterprise.
There Is some danger that people at a
distance who have been influenced by
the newspaper reports OF the incom-
pieteness OF the fair may make mis-
take in deferring too long their con-
telnplated visits. 1t may be deemed
wise to remain away until all the ex-
hibits are installed and everything put
TO rights. but there will be some dis
comfort consequent upon such course.

THE RED NINE DEFAULT.
Alleged That Cobb jackson Received the
Money.

ATLANTA, GA, April 1S.-An after
noon paper prints what purports to be
a statement made by Redwine, the de-
faulting cashier of the Gate City Ma
tional Bank. The substance OF state
ment made to his own attorneys and
others and repeated by several witnesses
before the grand jury, is understood to
be that Cobb Jackson obtained from him
upwards of $1,000 The first amount was
turned over To Jackson in the summer
of 1891. when ne needed money 10 put into
the Atlanta and Florida railroad deal.
At the time he received from 5000 TO
5000 In November of the same year IL
is claimed he got 5000 to $4,000 more,
to be used partly for the same purpose
and partly to make bonds in a railroad
case. Jackson. it is alleged, would come
10 Redwine and get money. leaving him
his note or check, generally the latter,
TO cover the amount. Most Of the money
was obtained By jackson In 1892, none In
1893. For these large sums Redwlne had
only Jackson's paper. This he kept in
his private drawer at the bank, ana
before his flight most of IL was taken
ont and burned. TO cover up the short
age Redwine would borrow from other
banks and hold out deposits in making
ND the accounts Of his cash. The above
Is. Of course only based upon the state
ment made by Redwine, and, as before

which would put another face on the
