Just after the JOURNAL went 10
press last week, the editor received
from the Toledo Blade very polite
invitation to make our headquarters
with the Blade during the Republi-
can convention in June. We could
not make note of the invitation last
week and now it is week old and the
other editors haye said all the good
things. However, we might have ex-
pected something of this kind from
the Blade because that paper is always
at the front, and the Blade people are
past masters in everything that is up
to date, and especially when it comes
to looking after the interests of Wis
itors to the city. The JOURNAL is
happy to accept the invitation and its
editor will endeayer to keep just as
close to the pie counter as possible.

The question OF the electric railway
injuring business in suburban towns has
been the subject OF much comment dur
ing the past few months. While in
Bowling Green a few days since, the
JOURNAL was informed by MIR. Fred
Moore of the firm Of A. Froney s. Co.
that their trade had increased in all
lines since the first of the year and that
the trade of March 1897 was an increase
of 1S per cent over that OF '96. In their
carpet department alone, where two or
threes men have heretofore been able
to care foe the trade it now keeps five
men very busy. They make it point
to meet competition from any town and
are ready to take their chances with
any locality. The street cars bring to
their doors good substantial class OF
customers, and as the firm proposes to
keep even with the march of progress,
they have no fear of electric railways.

years, . months aud % days.
Mr.. Himmelman was born in Ober-
meiser, Hesse Cassel, Germany, on
February 20, 1929, and came to this
country early in 1866. He remained in
New York City Tor some time, then
came to Ohio, arriving in Perrysburg
in the spring of 1856, since which time
he has been resident OF the town.
Here on May 25, 1856, he was united in
marriage to Miss Marie Dieterich,
their union being blessed with eight
children, five sons and three daughters,
all of whom are still living.
During the war of the rebellion Mr..
Himmelman served in the Union Army

About Hay Fever

In order to ascertain just what causes
hay fever the editors in the various
states have started a somewhat humor-
GUS discussion, each trying TO outdo the
other in his explanation. The Ohio
scribe says it is caused by kissing grass
widows. The Missouri editor says it is
caused by grass widow kissing a fellow
by moonlight. An Iowa editor says is
caused by fellow kissing the hired
girl while she is feeding hay to the COW.
And lastly, an eastern exchange is OF
the opinion that is is caused by missing
the girl and kissing the COW. 1t is the
opinion of the editor that the fellow
who kissed the girl neglected to make
sweet hay" with her, and as n result he
ought to suffer the tortures of hay

A Few days since the Bowling Green
Tribune published an editorial which
very plainly accused the editors OF
Republican newspapers with being in
favor OF Senator Hanna succeeding
himself in the U. S. Senate, simply be-
cause these ed itors were candidates for
postoffices in their various localities.
Such an insinuation is beneath the dig
nifty of true newspaper man or loyal
Republican, and we regret that the ed
itor of the Tribune has so low an es-
innate of the character of his fellow
publishers. If these editors believe
Senator Hanna should succeed him
self, they only believe what every true
loyal Republican should believe. The
JOURNAL editor has refrained from
publishing very much upon the sub
ject for the simple reason that we did
not wish it to appear that We were
writing for effect, but now that the
Tribune has taken special pains to
make thrust at the country publishers,
we wish it plainly understood that the
JOURNAL is heartily in favor of the
Republican party unanimously endors-
ing Marc Hanna for U. S. Senator,
renominating Bushnell for Governor,
and such a legislative ticket as will in
sure the return of Senator Hanna to
the U. S. Senate. Postoffice or no
postoffice, these are our sentiments
and for fear some of our friends land
enemies) may misunderstood us we
take this method of making them
public.

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM

BEST REMEDY FOR RHEUMATISM.
From the Fairhaven IN. W Register.
Mr.. James Rowland of this. village,
states that for twenty-five years his
wife has been a sufferer from rheu-
matism. A few nights ago she was in
such pain that she was nearly crazy.
She sent Mr.. Rowland for the doctor,
but he had read of Chamberlain
Pain Balm and instead of going for
the physician he went to the store
and secured a bottle of it. His wife
did not approve of Mr.. Rowland S
purchase at first, but nevertheless APP
piled the Balm thoroughly and in an
hours time was able to go to sleep.
She now applies it whenever she feels
an ache or a pain and finds that it
always gives relief. He says that no
medicine which she has used ever did
her as much good. For sale by all
dealers and druggists. Benson, Smith

A NATURAL MISTAKE.
Drummer Mjstook the Young Woman Po,
Commercial Traveller.

Commercial Traveller.
Not long ago a New York young wom-
an visited several towns in the western
part of the state, her mission being to or
gani2e branches of an educational work
She carried with her n dress suit case in
which was the gown she wore when she
appeared before an audience. At one little
byplace of "a town she staid overnight at
the hotel because none of the evening
trains stopped ut so insignificant a station
The next morning she paid her bill,
picked up her dress suit cast. and climbed
into the rcoling omnibus, which took her
and an unmistukable commercial traveller
to the train. The commercial traveller eyed
her with persistent interest which the
young woman inwardly resented, though
she gave no outward sign, but when ne
took the seat behind her in the car she be-
gan to fear active attentions. They came
sooner than she had expected, however,
and in form which quite took away her
breath. The commercial traveller leaned
forward, touched the dress suit case and
said genially:
"Do l recognize fellow knight of the
grip?" The young woman stared. The
travelling man looked bit nonplused
but pursued:
MAY l ask what is your line?'
Still the young woman stared at him,
more in wonder than in anger. AS she did
not find her voice the man made another
attempt.
Il hope l do not offend you," he said
courteously. "There is certain freema-
sonry between us all, and 1 counted on
your feeling as other women drummers do
l beg your pardon if have"-
But l am not "a drummer" interrupt
ed the young woman Indignantly.
Not u drummerW exclaimed the man.
AREN'T you travelling with goodsp"
"No-I-am-notp with slow empha-
sis.
Il beg your pardon" began the man,
flushing to the roots Of his hair. 81
thought-you see, when saw your case
and then too, your stopping at the hotel
in that little town-and-and you seemed
so businesslike and took things so easily
and then the case, tool think it was
principally the case, but it never occurred
to me that you were not commercial
traveller. A few years ago they were as
rare rs bluebirds in January, but now we
meet them at every turn. And, as l said
there are always the same frankness and
cordially between us, simply as business
acquaintance as there arc between the
men who travel. hope-you really must
pardon me-"
The young woman said il was of no con-
sequence, and so on, and the man sank
back in his seat and wiped his perspiring
brow. The affair was interesting as a
proof of the constantly increasing employ
ment of women as "knights Of the grip. I"
