BUCKEYE ELECTION {
AN IMPORTANT ONE
Inauguration OF Nash Mum.
icipal Codo Means Much
to the State.

Mondays election in Ohio was the
most important spring election in the
history of the state, for the reason
that IL means clean sweep of all
officers and the inauguration of a new
set In every city and village, to put
into operation the new Nash munich
pal code.
Heretofore only a portion Of the
municipal officers have been chosen at
any one election. This clean sweep
and new start took place in II cities
and 61 villages The election perhaps
means more. to the people Of the state
than does the presidential election,
and reports from municipalities indi-
cate that the vote in many of them
exceeded that in any presidential year,
showing that the people are alive to
the importance of the result.

lady accused of poisoning her first
husband, Karl Friebe. came up for
trial in the district court this morn
Ing The charges against Frau Won
Goltz are, after she had poisoned her
husband, she discovered that the law
required her to share her husbands s
fortune with her three sons. She goad-
ed two of these to suicide by diabolical
prosecutions, the third died suddenly.

poisoned him also. She then found
that the coast was not yet clear, as q
little grandson, thirteen years of age,
remained. and had right to half the
money. The grandmother then began
to plot his murder and had nearly
succeeded when the lad one day ac-

William Wagner, both Democratic can
didates, never raised a hand to get
vote, and Wagner was elected in the
First ward by a large majority over
Paxson, while Lynchs majority is in
the neighborhood of fifty. Paul Joliat
won a nice victory in the Second ward.
When the returns first began com
ing in the Republicans were quite jub-
liant. They claimed Smiths election
at the start by 500 or 900 AS one
precinct after another came in the size
of the Republican plurality became less
ard the faces Of the partisans became
longer. With two precincts IN the
First and one in the Sixth to hear
from. they lost heart entirely and fer
a few moments Monnot's election was
conceded by 4.
TRYING SITUATION.
Smith was in the board of elections
room when this result was reached. but
he held his nerve and stood by until
some additional returns changed the
result in his favor. Not until the last
return was in did the tension lessen.
For time it looked as though Harry
Schaub wouli be elected city auditor,
but the later returns dissipated his an
parent plurality and put Ash5rook in
the lead.

Chapman was arrested early in jan

him was that of poisoning q young

Two other wives. both died
