nearly all of them show some increases
in town and village population. As the
total loss in population in the twenty
one counties is 25,75S, it Is certain,
although the complete census figures
for the small towns have not yet been
published, that the farm population In
the twenty-one counties Is at least 60
600 less than ten years ago.
The same thing has gone on all over
the State. While the State gained 474,-
254 in population in the decade, all but
90, 500 of it was in cities OF 5000 or
over, and when the full tables for all
the villages and towns under 5000 are
published, they will unquestlonaoiy
show that the agricultural population
Of Ohio is between 100, 900 and O,O0O
less than in 1850. Probably not in a
single county has it held its own.
1t is not 10 be wondered at that OHIO
farmers are becoming aroused by such
facts as these. They show drift that
cannot be mistaken, and point to con-
illusions that the advocates OF Mchin-
leyism cannot explain away.

Two Rattlers in a Bale of Hay.
From ne Atldata Constttut,oa.

Early yesterday morning VIII Barnes
was experimenting the unloading of
some baled timothy hay shipped to his
father, Sheriff Barnes, from Illinois.
He noticed something peculiar in one
of the bales, and. becoming curious,
called to q negro to cut it open.
The negro did so; the hay was pulled
back, and then Mr.. Barnes decided that
his curiosity had carried him far
enough. The negro had disappeared.
There lay two large rattlesnakes.
Freed from the tight pressure, they
crawled out. One continued crawling,
while the other coiled itself and sounded
its rattle. II was killed in few min
utes by Mr.. Barnes.
The other one escaped under the
depot, and, like the fish that slips of q
hook, was much the larger. The one
killed was big one, but those who saw
the other one say IL was whopper.
The snakes must have been in the
hole for weeks, but their energy didn't
seem to be impaired.

Growing Very COmmon-AnOther Horror
in Italy-Swept to Sea.

In ltaly-SWept TO sea
ROME, August 17.-Balloon accidents,
some Of them resulting IN loss OF life.
have recently been reported from
various parts OF Europe; in fact, such in
cidents seem to be becoming quite COM
mon. and tend to indicate that the
passion for aerial experiments is increas-
ing TO an alarming extent. The latest
aerial disaster is reported from Mace
rata, Capitol Of the Italian province
of the same name, about twenty
miles south of AncOna. Macerata is
situated on an eminence above the
Potenza, a small river emptying into
the Adriatic, and is situated midway be-
tween the Appenis and the sea. 1t
will thus be seen that Macerata was
conveniently situated for balloon as
tensions and its neighborhood afforded
good sightseeing spots for the peasan-
try and others OF the neighborhood who
gathered in large numbers, yesterday
10 witness the exploits OF daring bal
loOniSt, who had acquired fame by ire
Quent previous and successful ascents.
All went Wei az lnc SOAAAniChSSuu mn
OF the exhibition: the balloon assembled
amid much applause and enthusiasm,
and swept grandly towards the blue
waters Of the Adriatic. II was not the in
tention Of the aeronaut TO be carried out
10 sea, so he attempted 10 descend, and
was seen TO be pulling vigorously
at the exhaust or safety valve. The
rope Of the latter, however, did not
seem TO work properly, and the balloon
and its occupant were slowly but steadi-
" carried seward. Finally the balloon
was seen lowering over the Adriatic,
and a cry Of horror arose from the
crowds when the aeronaut was sudden
" seen TO fall headlong from the car,
and after whirling over and over twice
or three times in the air, he fell into the
sea, and before some fishermen who put
out to rescue him had time to reach the
unfortunate man, the balloon, relieved
of its human ballast, shot upward into
the clouds and was eventually lost TO
view, and the daring fellow sank to the
bottom OF the sea.

ADVENTURES IN A WILDERNESS
The Remarkable Journey of Nine Rus
sian Poles, Including a Woman, Through
a Painless south American Wilder
DensrGrG .Arg0sy.


Nine Russian Poles, one Of them
woman about % years of age, who ar
rived in the colony last week via. Bar
tica, were brought TO Georgetown and
lodged in the Brick Dam station until
some one could be found to interpret
their story. Mrs. Oldfield, probably the
only person in the colony who speaks
English and Russian, very kindly agreed
10 act as interpreter, and TO her they
gave an account Of their adventures.
The party had been induced TO emf
CRATE from Europe to Brazil to work as
laborers upon the plantations there; but
they could not tolerate the treatment
they received, and they decided to make
their way home again.
Having aScertained the lay of the
land, they walked toward the Brazilian
frontier until they reached river
which they aScertained ran into En-
gliSh territory. II is not known for
cert ain what river this was, but prob
ably it was the Rupununi. Buying a
boat or corral they embarked upon this
river, and without guide or steersman
they padded or drifted on and on, day
after day, until having safely passed
all the cataracts and broken waters OF
the EsSexuibo they reached Bartica,
where they were taken in charge by
the police.
They said their desire was to 60 on
to the United States, and it was ar
ranged that passage should be obtained
for them. How they managed for food
all through their journey we have not
heard, but no doubt they bought roots
of the Indians whenever they got the
opportunity, and probably the caught
fish. Altogether they had about 4 hun
dred dollars in cash among them, in
coins of Brazil.

18th Anniversary.

On Monday last the Baltimore American
celebrated its 18th anniversary by issuing
trade edition of twenty-six pages. As a
souvenir, facsimile of the first number Of
1873 was issued. The most interesting feature
of this is the long real estate advertisement
of Col. George Washington, of Mount Vernon,
Va. The past ten years of the paper, under
the management of Gen. Felix Agnus, have
been the most prosperous in its history. Let
tiers and kilograms were received from all
parts of the country giving congratulations
and "reminiscences in connection with the
anniversary. One is from Samuel Sands,
now 80 years old, who, as a printers devil in
the office of the american in 1914, when all
the men connected with the paper had gone
to defend Baltimore against the British, set
up in type 1.-The Star Spangled Banner
from the copy which Francis Scott Key
brought TO the office. The American is a
good newspaper, and is rapidly growing in

The Boring Sea Controversy.

The Boring Sea controversy between the
United States and Great Britain has been
relieved of any irritating influences by an
agreement entered into by the two govern
ments on Monday to close the sea TO seal
fishermen until May LIST, next. The agree
ment provides that each government shall
police the waters of Boring Sea, the United
States TO prohibit our vessels from taking
seals during the close season and Great Britain
TO look after her subjects. Outside OF the
ordinary territorial limits of the United States
persons or vessels may be seized by either
power, but vessels or persons so seized must
be handed over to the governments to which
they belong to be dealt with. The agreement
allows the taking of 1900 seals for the sub
sistence of the natives of the islands in the
closed limits The whole question now can
be arbitrated without fear of interruption or
irritation from seizures and reprisals.
