BOTH CLAIMING ELECTION.
But Nash Seemed More Positive Than
the Mclean Men

nut Nash seemed more Positive Than
the Mclean Men.
Columbus, o., Nov. 7.-At 10 p. M, the
chairman of both the Republican and
Democratic state committees were claim
ing the election of their respective state
tickets and also a majority of the Leg
islature.
There are no Jones legislative candi-
dates, but Samuel NJ. Jones, Mayor of
Toledo, is certainly the closest third that
ever entered the Ohio gubernatoriaf race.
The indications are that he has drawn
more heavily from the Republicans in the
cities than from the Democrats with the
exception Of Columbus and some smaller
cities, and that the Jones vote will not be
so large in the rural districts.
There is not the usual percentage of
either Republican or Democratic gains or
losses, as the gains run for the Republi-
cans in some places and for the Democrats
in other sections Even after the returns
are complete from Cincinnati, Cleveland
and Toledo, 1t may be difficult to reach
the result positively tonight, owing to the
tide in the Jones vote, which runs in
streaks and causes Republican losses In
some places and Democratic losses in 9TH
er places
AT 10 p. m. Judge Nash claimed his cleo
tion as Governor, and Chairman Dick said
he was assured the Republicans had car
ried everything, but he had no figures yet
to announce.
The Associated Press sent TO Mr.. Nc
Lean at his residence, asking if he claimed
his election, and received the reply that
he had no answer yet to make.
Chairman Seward of the Democratic
Committee said he was not prepared to an
swer the question yet.
AT 1880 O'Clock the Republicans claimed
that their plurality would exceed $4,000,
with over 100, 600 for Jones, out of total
of less than 100000. The Republican ma
jority in the Legislature is larger than
usual, but no senator is to be elected
Judge Nash was serenaded after mid
night at the Neil house To an enthusias-
tic crowd he made a brief speech, upon be-
ing introduced by Hon. Harry NJ. Daugh-
erty, mis- rival for the nomination. Judge
Nash said that the Ohio result was a mes
sage to President Mckinley, that his home
state ndorse his administration and pre-
sage McKrnley's denomination and re-elec-
ton in 1900
The Republicans made the greatest gains
a the homes of Judge Nash, Mark Hanna
and Chairman Dick. The Democrats made
their largest gains at the home of MIR.

Ohio is still claimed by both parties,
but the outlook is that the Republicans
have been victorious, though the Demo-
Gratis are stil claiming that later returns
will give them success there.
In Nebraska there is little doubt that
the fusionists, which means the Demo-
Gratis. have carried the state.

Joubert Refused to Let the Sick ana
Wounded Go south.

London. Nov. THE following is the
text of a cablegram from Gen. Butler from
Cape Town, dated Nov. 7, 1856 p. M:
THE following dispatch has been re-
ceived from the general commanding at
Estcourt dated Nov. 6:
Since Friday there has been a cessa-
tion of hostilities. A note was sent that
day TO Gen. Joubert by Gen. White, at
the request of the Mayor, asking permis-
sion for the non-combattants, sick and
wounded to go south Gen. Joubert refus-
ed the request but agreed to allow them
to so to the special camp four miles from
Ladysmth. The townspeople refused TO
accept this offer. The sick and wounded
and a few of the inhabitants were moved
yesterday. A few shots We're exchanged
yesterday at the outposts. Fridays bonn
bardment was heavy. Shells fell In the
hospital and one burst in a hotel during
luncheon. No one was injured. The only
casualty in the town from the shells thus
far is a Kafflr killed. There was a smart
action Friday, toward Dewdrop. The
troops under Gen Brecl1ehurst drove the
Beers back considerable distance and
disabled a gun.
There was also fighting near Bull
wayna. Our loss altogether is eight killed
aud about twenty wounded. Nlnety-eight
Dundee wounded have arrived. They were
sent here Saturday. All are doing well.
The position here Is now believed to
be entirely safe. II has been greatly
strengthened during the last twenty-four
hours. The people have deserted their
dwellings, and are living in bomb-proof
places, safe from she'll fire There is plen-
ty Of good stores Of all kinds.
Capt Klapp and Lieut.. Brabant were
killed In Fridays action.
"The foregoing Is an exact copy of a
press censored telegram brought here by
a Kafhr runner. There is no other official
news"

ADVERTISEMENTS.
DANGER IN SODA.
Serious Results Sometimes Follow
Its Excessive Use.

Common soda is all right in its place
and indispensable in the kitchen and for
cooking and washing purposes, but it was
never intended as a medicine, and people
who use it as such will some day re-
gret it.
We refer to the common use of soda TO
relieve heartburn or sour stomach q
habit which thousands of people practice
and one which is fraught with danger;
moreover, the soda only gives temporary
relief and in the end the stomach trouble
gets worse and worse.
The soda acts as a mechanical irrftant
to the walls of the stomach and bowels
and cases are on record where it has ac-
cumulated in the intestines, causing
death by Inflammation or peritonitis.
DIR. Harlandson recommends as the
safest and surest cure for sour stomach
(acid dyspepsia an excellent preparation
sold by druggists under the name of
Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets. These tab
let's are large 20-grain loZenges, very
pleasant to taste and contain the natural
acids, peptones and digestive elements es-
sential to good digestion, and when taken
after meals they digest the food per-
fectly and promptly before it has time
to ferment sour and poison the blood and
nervous system.
DR.. Wuerth states that he invariably
uses Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets in all
cases of stomach arrangements and finds
them a certain cure not only for sour
stomach, but by promptly digesting the
food they create flesh and strengthen the
action of the heart and liver. They are
not a cathartic, but intended only for
stomach diseases and weakness and will
be found reliable in all stomach troubles
except cancer of the stomach All drug
gists sell Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at 50
cents per package.

stomach weakness and their cure mailed
