RURAL VOTE
WILL PUT OHIO IN THE
DEMOCRATIC COLUMN.
Interesting Review of Election
Figures.

COLUMBUS, o., April 24.-There are
1.153 strictly rural and agricultural
townships in Ohio, which at the last
November election cast an average
vote of 435 each, or a total vote OF
sol, 800, or practically one-half OF the
entire vote of the state. The hgures
heretofore published as to the chang
es which took place in the chief
cities of the state were really less
significant than is shown in these
purely agricultural districts.
The county papers give the statls-
tics of the April election in LILY oi
these townships and upon comparl-
son with the November returns the
changes are extraordinary. AS, foI
instance. of these LII townships IN
1896 Mckinley carried 513 and Bryan
604. At the April election the Demo
Gratis carried 759 and the Republicans
1856.
Concerning the unreported town
ships to the Republicans, it would
stand T59 Democratic to 302 Republl
can, Democratic gain of 155 OF the
smaller political divisions. The tota
votal in these townships fell off ap
proxilnately 10 per cent, but the Dem
ocratic vote largely increased. In
these townships Bryan had nearly
%, 600 plurality in 1896. The aggre
gate Democratic plurality in 1885,
passeda a little beyond $4,000, a gair
of 81, 1000.
Add to these figures the uniform
gains in all the cities, larger towns
and county seats, and it will be seer
that the state went almost as largely
Democratic in April, 1897, as it wen
Republican in November, 1896. Every
one will concede that the April elec
tions in the townships are more close
ly along political lines than in th'
large towns and cities. Corrup
township governments are exception
al, and rural voters. under the cir
cumstances, naturally divide off fpoliti
cal lines, TO size up their votins
strength. The local papers chronicl
the fact that in almost q hundred In
stances the Democrats carried ther
for the first time in 30 years. Th
rural voters will play strong han
in the next state election.

Haas POstmOrtenl.

Drs. Wagenhals, Thrap and Steuer,
the physicians of the Ohio peniten-
tiary, conducted a post mortem eX-
animation at 2;30 Wednesday on the
remains of the boy murderer, Willie
Haas, successfully electrocuted Tues
day night.
Immediately after Haas body had
been taken from the annex it was re-
moved to the prison morgue, where
the clothing was removed and the
body allowed to remain during the
remainder of the night and early
morning. The body was in good
shape, all the muscles of the legs and
arms and chest being we'll developed
and rounded out with layers OF
adipose tissue.
| The blood had been driven to the
outer surface by the electric fluid, SO
that the skin in some places bore
marks of purple, giving on first no.
tice the idea that the body had been
burned.
| There was no burning whatever,
except where the electrode had been
fastened to the calf of the right leg.
That could not be called a burning,
scarcely, as the skin was merely scar
ed, caused by the drying of the
sponge by the electric sparks.
Every organ in the body was con-
gested. The lungs were filled with
blood. The liver was considerably
enlarged and filed with blood. There
were clots of blood in the ventricles
of the heart and the condition of all
the organs gave evidence that the
circulation had stopped the very in
slant the current entered the body.
The condition of the brain and
other organs showed more than that
death was instantaneous. 1t was
absolutely painless. The path fol
lowed by the fluid as it crashed
through the brain could be followed
as closely as sparks of lightning can
be traced on an object struck.
The right heart ceased its move
ments instantly. The left, however,
completed half beat before forced
to stop. Beneath the covering of the
brain the blood was congulated, again
showing that the circulation had
! ceased instantly.
| The brain itself was well develop
ed, which overthrows the theory that
Haas was insane or even partially so.
There was a large proportion ofgray
matter, which proved further that
his faculties were well formed and
might have been developed into an
intelligent condition.
Perhaps the most peculiar result OF
the autopsy was the discovery of air
in the brain and liver. This was ac.
counted for by the theory that the
electricity converted the oxygen in
the blood into air.-Columbus Rec

MRS. SUE WELsTED, Clerk.
a. Static Farm for Convicts.

The attention of the state officials
is being directed toward the estab-
llishment OF a farm where convicts of
the better grade may be employed.
A plan of this character has been
put into operation in the state of
Texas, and the results are admirable.
Instead of the eonvicts being source
of expense to the state, the report Of
their reformatory for last year shows
that more than $92, 600 surplus result
ed from the workings of this system.
Some plan OF this character might be
worked to advantage in this state,
and by the Introduction of the plan
of Interchange Of products between
the state institutions, competition of
outside labor would be avoided, and
a more humane system of employ
ment Of prisoners than is now in
operation would result. Humanitri-
clans as well as political economists
would do well to give this matter
some thought and study.

Changing Crops.

We hear it said, why, if raising
wheat is Improbable, does not the
farmer raise something else? Simply
because he can raise nothing that
profitable. Corn last year brought
the farmer of Nebraska less than ten
cents q bushel, or about $500 an
acre, that is, all the corn that could
be raised off of a farm Of 100 acres,
taking q farmer and two able-bodied
sons to cultivate was $500, u pitiable
sum to be divided among three able
bodied men as the remuneration of
their years labor. We said, to be di-
vided as remuneration, but stop. This
paltry $500 was not divided. Out OF
this $500 had to be paid such repair
ing of tools as could not be done
without, and taxes had to be taken,
leaving only the remnant for the
farmer and his sons as the remunera-
tion for three able bodied men.
But now we are told the farmer is
going to be given the opportunity to
raise wool at a profit. This is to be
done for him by protection. But
how many farmers can turn to rails
| ing wool at a profit, promising even
that we shut out every pound OF
foreign wool. The importations OF
woods for the last fiscal year amount
ed to $50, 600, 600 pounds. Now sup
pose this wool was kept out and a
market made for this amount of ad-
| ditional home made wool at Is cents
pound. This would make market
for less than 1856, 900, 600 worth of wool.
But how far would this go around
among our five million farmers.
There would be an opening for each
one of them to raise 81 worth of wool.
And is this an opening that will bring
prosperity to our agricultural classes;
would this opening relieve the pres
sure of competition in the cereal and
cotton fields2 1t would be but drop
of relief to our farmers who raise
even at present low prices $3.50, ,000,-
600 worth of corn, $3.50, 100000 worth
of wheat, and 5000, ,000,0 600 worth of
cotton a year. Even this drop would
be welcome, but better prices for our
cereal products and cotton it would
not bring, for prices for these pro-
ducts are fixed in England where we
dispose of our surplus products, and
the cutting down of our exports to
| England would not curtall the supply
in England, and would not increase
the price, for our competitors have
the ability and inclination to supply
the whole market at the present
prices. So these prices we must
meet, and better prices OF our great
crops we cannot get until we raise
| the prices at which our competitors
can sell. And this we can only do by
restoring bi-metallism, which is the
only real protection that can be given
our farmers and planters at this time.

BOWLING GREEN, o., April pa
peculiar incident happened, this
morning, while removing the re-
mains of those inferred in old ceme-
terry, which is now almost in the
heart of the town. The relatives of
Captain Hiram Fl. Poe, of the GSth
Ohio volunteers, were carefully re-
moving his remains, when it was dis
covered that, although having been
buried over 80 years, the iron casket
was in wonderfully good state of
preservation. 1t was finally decided
to raise the lid and great was the sur
prise, when they beheld the remains
of Captain Poe as natural as they
were upon the day of burial. His
mustache was undisturbed, and his
hair neatly combed. Captain Poe
died at Richmond, Va, of consump-
ton, while on his way home from the
war. The remains were placed in Q
metallic coffin, Theoretically sealed
and shipped here.

Drawing Lessons.


Mr.. Whinnery, who has been an
illustrator in the East for long
period of years, and who is making a
tour through his native state, is in
the city and intends remaining long
enough to instruct a class in draw
ing and slsetohing. He has succeeded
in organizing good class, but would
like to secure more scholars; those
who have commenced lessons of him
are enthusiastic in tbs work, He is
an artist Of the highest order and
he has the faculty of making his
work exceedingly pleasant for his
pupils. We have had the privilege of
looking over some of the productions
Of his pencil and brush and can testi-
fly that they are all gems of art. His
terms are reasonable, in fact he is
charging probably one-half his usual
price for lessons. If you are inter
ested in drawing, sketching or paint
ing, consult Mr.. Whlnnery and Join
his class. He shows some fine Gre
dentials as to ability and proficiency.
