Massage as a Cure for Sciataca,

Prof. Max Schuller, an eminent
man in Berlin, in recent scientific
publication gives an account of fifteen
cases of sciatsca which he cured hy
massage or simple rubbing with the
hand. The patient in each case was
laid in a suitable position, and then
with both thumbs the course of the
sciatic nerve was rubbed upward, the
rubbing being varied with pounding
with the closed hand, or kneading the
muscles over the nerve. The treat
ment is painful if the Inflammation is
severe, but after each treatment the
pain abates. The time required to
effect a cure i'm this way was two weeks
and half, although one case was cur
ed in nine days.

GALVESTON.
Spe ial Telegram to the Statesman.

GALVESTON, November 3-The vote of Galveston
city and county, is not yet complete, and will not
be finished In the Fifth and or two other wards
until six O'Clock tomorrow morning Judges and
clerks of election say they never had such tedious
task scarcely two tickets in the box being alike
Such seems the order of the day. The returns
from half a dozen wards are in, and using these
wards as basis for calculations the following
county ticket is elected
County Judge, W. T. Austin; county attorney,
G. d. Gavin sheriff, Patrick Ternan; district
clerk, A. Makeley; county assessor, f. McNichals
county cOllectOrf Nick Weekes; county treasurer,
James 5. Waters; county surveyor, q. q. Naev-
| rick; of the above list there is still some doubt
about the election of Easton, for district clerk;
Wakeley, for county clerk, and Weekes for
the official count to determine
the final issue in these three offices. To say that
many surprises are in the above ticket, scarcely
conveys the feeling of large portion of the com
mrnity. The election of Pat 'riernan to the sher-
ifalty by probable plurality of 2O votes, has par
ayzed the colored politicians, who were willing to
bet their last Dickle that Ketchum would win. The
relative pO itiOns of the ve candidates for sheriff.
according to one-half the returns now in, will be
Tlernan first Jordan second, ketchum third,
Ovens fourth, and Jennett fifth vi the above list
of successful candidates. all were regular nominees
of the democratic county convention, excepting
District Clerk Wakeley and County Collector
Weekes. This shows that the nominating conven-
tons which was so dspised by the local press, was
more of a representative body than the public at
their nominees, against most tremendous odds
For district attorney, w. G. Oliver, Of Houston,
carried this county by large majority, which in
sures his election. For state sena-
tor, General John M. Claiborne, is
now far ahead of his several opponents, and will
go to Austin. For representative from the sixty
fifth district Walter Gresham is elected over p D.
Callan. In the Sixty-siXth representative district
c. j. Battle is elected while the result in the sixty
fourth representative district, which embraces
Brazoria county, is still in doubt B. Rush Plumly
the republican candidate, claims his election ovel
Charles d. Hudgins, democrat.
Looking over the battle field to-day, old politi
clans say they never saw such a contest before
and the defeated candidates could be found swear
ing on several corners. Ittranspires that at the
last moment Tieinan, Walters, Easton and Weeks
entered into an offensive and defensive secret com
pact to support each other with all their strength
They gave the word to their supporters, and car
red the day, much to the chagrin of Treasurer
Burk and other candidates.

TYLER, November 3.-Retnrns from all voting
precincts in the county show that tine whole demo

100 to 60J. The greatest enthusiasm prevails

this evening, keeping time to the musical rhyme
