The third story OF the Sh cridon
Wheel Co.'S main building will be com
pletcd this wcck. 1t is indeed an
imposing looking structure, and has n
business air about it that is truly re-
fres hing to see in this place. 1t isn't
a thousand barrel oil WELL but it has
the appearance Ct, and we believe it
will be, place from which thousands
of dollars will be distributed among
laboring people who are residents OF
Perrysburg, and whose money will be
spent in Perrysburg, with Perrysb urg
merchants, and this feature is alone
worth thousands of dollars to all who
have the welfare of our town at heart
An interesting case of female cussed-
ness is developed in Toledo by the
arrest Ola l6-year old girl, Belle Am
mon of Beaver Falls, Mich, who with
one Mrs. Rest, of Beaver Falls, lat
whose home the fiisliy Belle residedl
of about 81, 200 and skipped the tra-la-
loo and landed In Toledo where they
were arrested by an officer who follow
ed them from Mich. They had retired
to their room aud were not disturbed
until about 3;30 in the morning, when
with the assistance of Toledo officers
the detective took them in. When
taken to the station the girl displayed
great nerve and laughed heartily over
her escapade. 1t is quite likely she
will have a few years time for retlec.

R.H. Chubb.of the Delaware Gazette,
who is an enthusiastic Republican,
and is in II position to know whereof he
speaks claims that Mckinley will be
elected over any candidate the opposi-
tion may nominate, and that he will
have the largest popular majority of
any Governor elected in this State
since the war. The Farmers Alliance
in the central part of the State, he
claims, will not max. fight on the
head of the Republican ticket but are
coniining their efforts mostly to the
county tickets and making special
efforts on the State legislature. He
claims the farmers in Knox, Delaware,
Morrow and Union counties are enthu-
siastic in their praises of Mckinley.
giving him due credit for the reduction
in price of sugar. which at this season
of the Year. especially, is IL great
benefit to them.
Ever since the present proprietor
has had charge of the JOURNAL he
has advocated the changein the manner
of holding County Conventions, and
now that the Republican Central Com.
mittee have decided to change from
the mass To the delegate system, we
hope and believe every good Republi-
can will say amen to it, and that the
members OF the party in the various
townships will attend the township
conventions and see that none but solid
Republicans are sent as delegates.
The apportjonment of delegates Ii
such as to give almost as large 1
representation from each township q.
are sometimes present under the mas.
system.
1t has been suggested that possibl,
this might not be II good year to make
the change. To this we feel like say
ing that if there ever will be IA goOt
year TO make such n change. the pres
ent is just as good us any.
Mass conventions in Wood count,
have long since been too large to handle
The work OF the convention last yea
was too long and many left before tn,
business was finished on account O
having long drives which necessitate,
an early start for home.
We believe that after the Republi
cans have chance to see the working
OF the delegate system they will onl
regret that it was not tried at least on,
year sooner, as we believe many of tn
bad features of the last convention vii
be obviated by the new system.
We don't like to use the word rotter
but we know of no other word thu
will express our idea of the bit of legis
lation that cXcmpts from taxation tn

Auditor Wilson is not rema inin
quiet but has been giving the matte
