The writing Telegraph.

The writing telegraph, which had at
first but a tardy recognition at the
hands of the commercial public. is now
being extensively used. There is no
question as to the value Of an invention
which secures absolute immunity from
error in the transmission of messages
and communications from one place to
another. The written communication
at the receiving end of the line is
duplicate OF the message sent, SO that
the actual writing Of the sender is re-
produced in the message received.

The entertsinment given by Phoenix
Lodge, No. 123, f. Il A.. NJ, was in
every respect II success. The pro-
gramme as published last week, was
rendered in very pleasant manner.

in front of the stage. Seated upon
the stage were Past-Masters, Cook
and Thornton, Bro. Saddler of the
Programme Committee, and Misses
Clara Chappuies, Katie and Amelia
Wetzel, Fla Zaenger, and Mr.. Hal.
Lampman, who took part IN the pro-
gramme.
The programme was opened with
music by the orchestra, followed with
a short address by the Master, stating
the object for which the entertain
ment was given. Miss Amelia Wetzel
then recited a very pretty selection,
entitled Tom" and was much
appauded.
Hal Lampman read the humorous
sketch entitled ''She wanted to see the
Boss Mason" setting forth the trials
of woman whose husband had taken
according to his story, about 233 de-
grees in masonry including the .'grand
BUMPER the ''sky-fugle' and the
Royal Rooster" and numerous other
degrees, in which he was more or less
disfgured, and the poor women sought
for information regarding the possi-
bility of his ever getting all the de-
grees and putting an end to the busi-
ness.
Following an orchestral selection,
Miss Bertha Cranker rendered a piano
solo, entitled Lies Rameaux," one OF
Leybach's compositions, which wds
we'll executed, and most highly ap'
plauded.
How Cushing destroyed the Albe.
marle,"a recitation by Miss Zaenger
was well recited and received loud
applause. Miss Clara Chappuies then
favored the audience with choice
vocal solo and received recall wher
she sang IL beautiful ballad. Mis-.
Katie Wetzel then gave a recitation
entitled "Ticket O'Lcave," and wa,
warmly applauded, and after music by
the orchestra, refreshments were
served to about 80 guests. The High
School young ladies served the guest,
with their ice cream aud cake
Each lady's dress was protected by
pretty white apron on the lower lef
hand corner of which was blu,
square and compass, and the prett,
girls with their pretty costumes, wer'
indeed very attractive feature OF tn,
evening and were highly compliment
ed.
After refreshments had been serve,
to all. the tables were cleared ava,
and the young people enjoyed IL fe,

The entertainment was success i
every way.

The columns of the JOURNAL this
week contain the announcements of
several candidates who are in the field
looking for political honors this year,
subject to the will OF the Republicans
of the county in convention assembled.
First aud foremost in the field this
year was the young, ambitious and
popular Benjamin +. James OF 3. G.,
who announces himself as candidate
for Representative. There are but
few people in :he county, especially
young men, who are better or more
favorably known than he and il he
receives the nomination which he seeks,
he is morally certain OF an election.
Capt. o. H. Norris of Perry town
snip, is also a candidate for Represen-
tatiye. We have not had the honor of
a personal acquaintance with Mr..
Norris, but from those who have that
pleasure we learn he is one of Perry
townships sturdy farmers and was an
honorable soldier.
For Commissioner, j. S. Benschoter
of Grand Rapids appears for favors
from the Republicans. Mr.. Ben
schoter is a thoroughly competent man,
has been an ardent Republican and a
strong worker in his party and has
many qualities fitting him for the
Office he desires to secure.
For Treasurer, Frederick Yeager
once more steps into the arena OF
county politics and unfurls his banner
to the breeze proclaiming himself g
candidate for favors from the Republi.
cans of Wood county. Mr.. Yeagel
will receive cordial support from Per
rysburg this year and his many ardent
admirers think his chances are very
favorable for success.
In opposition to Perrysburg's candi
date for Treasurer comes Simon Rich
ard from Bloom township. Mr.. Rich
ard is Deputy County Recorder, ;
straightforward gentleman, well ant
fayorably known and il is safe to say
that If either of these two candidates
for Treasurer are successful the county
will be faithfully served.
While the JOURNAL has its choice
of candidates for the various offices
we hut feel IL our duty to give all fail
chance and in this brief mention w
express no choice. All are good men

PALMER FOR PRESIDENT.
A Great Boom for the Illinois Vet.
cram.

a Great Boom for the Illinois Vet
cram.
Chicago Herald
Gen Palmer, since his election. has
received in the neighborhood of 1.2OO
letters ana kilograms. They came from
all over the country. and may be ac-
cepted as an expression of powerful
trend of political opinion, which will
certainly increase in strength as the
days roll by. In fully fOur-ffthS- Of
these letters Gen. Palmer'S name is
connected with nomination for
the presidency, and the friends
who are nearest the grand
old leader admit they believe Cen
Palmer will be delegated to lead the
Democratic host to victory. SO sure are
they of this result that they predict that
the legislature that cOnveneS in Illinois
in January of 1892 will have an oppor
tunity of selecting successor to the
next president of the United States to
fill out the uneXpired term of Gen.
Palmer, and that, moreover, he will be
a Democrat also. This would present
the somewhat singular fact that six
legislatures in succession have ballOted
for United States senators and the uext
would have the duty of filling MIR. Gull
lom's seat.
The desirability or Gen. Palmer as
presidential candidate can best be
gathered from the statement made to-
day by well known Democrat who has
been prominent figure in the late SEN
atOrial contest. Said he: with Gen.
Palmer as our candidate we can carry
Illinois. There is not the slightest
doubt OF it. With Illinois Democratic.
Indiana is bound to be. This makes
Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Mime
sofa extremely doubtful states, with the
chances more than favorable to the
Democrats. With a popular Eastern
Democrat for vice president, all h-ll
codld not bring us defeat. The
Cleveland-Hill factiopal fight has
made New York extremely doubtful.
Palmer'S present success has made
Illinois almost certainty, and it would
be far better to drop New York and
gain the Western states than TO en-
danger defeat through party strife. 1t
was Gen. Palmer himself who predicted
months ago that Illinois had become the
dominant state in the politics of the
union, and circumstances show the
truth of his prediction.
This is not idle talk. The sentiment
is growing every day and with surpris-
ing unanimity the provincial press is
taking up the cry. Gen. Palmer is the
ideal man. His unpretentiOus and sim
pie ways endear him to the heart of the
working classes. and no man is so
poorly clad who is not given as hospit-
able a welcome as the man who has
been more fortunate in the daily walks
of life

OMAHA LANDS,
Instructions Issued Regarding
Time of Filing.

Special to the Globe.
ASHLAND, Wis, March 17.-One
month from to-day filings will be re-
ceived at the United States land office
in this city on the unearned Omaha
lands. Instructions were issued to-day
regarding the manner and time of
filings. From the instructions furnished
by the department of the interior the
lands will not be thrown open for set
Element until April Is, but application
to make entries upon any of the lands
affected by the order will be received at
any time from opening to close of
the local land Office on April II.
No action will be taken on applca-
lions by officers on the 18th other than
to note the terms of receipt leaving
them for future disposition in the order
that they are received. On and after
April Is the remaining lands will be
open to settlement, and such homestead
applications as may then or thereafter
be presented will be acted upon in the
usual way. Applications will be re-
ceiyed at the rear of the land Office on
April II, at 9o'clock. The ruling which
does not throw the land open for settle
ment until the day after filings will be
received is blow at the settlers, who,
on the Wisconsin Central land, made
the applications by mail, and were
given a preference over those in line.
Large numbers of land seekers are now
in the city, and it only needs Slight
urging to have the line formed at this
early day. 1t is expected that fully
1900 men will be here On April II.
