AN UNFORTUNATE BARBER
The Reason That Valiant Wants Speedy
Divorce

Divorce
Charles r. Valiant, the barber who was
accused OF insanity by Druggist Liscombe
because be would not swallow his boluses
and pills, has made up his mind that
Nettie Valiant his wife, was material in
trumping up against him such charge.
He has left her and commenced proceed
ings for divorce. Valiant married in
1876 and he is the father of two children,
the oldest of whom is 16 years of age.
About two years ago he was stricken with
the grip. and since that time his health
has been deplorable.
The poor mans vitality is at a low ebo,
and realizing that any excess might
carry him off, he lives as quietly and
CAREFUL, as a III onk. In the belief that
her husband might depart from this
world rather UNEXPECTEDLY. Mrs. Nallant
wanted him to deed her all OF their COM
munity property. which is of some value
Valiant wouldn't hear of it, although he
was willing to divide, and he says that
his wife on that account made his life
very miserable. The woman nagged him
like Nantippe because he steadily re-
fused to impoveiish himself for her bene-
hit.
The barber alleges that when she found
he remained adamantine against her ie-
mands for the property she contrived to
have him arrested as a lunatic, on Tues
dav. AS refusal to eat ipecac for lunc.
and use black draughts as cocktails is
not sure indication OF insanity but on
the contrary, very often a certain sign
that the party who objects has no wheels
in his head. Valiant was quickly released
by Judge York, before whom he was ex-
amined
4 He will now seek to obtain the sever
ance of the matrimonial ties which bind
him to Nettie, and the custody of his
children. although he is still willing that
the wife should get the half of the prop
ertv acquired since the day, nearly
twenty years ago, when they were made
one in a little Iowa village.

A r1ost Magnificent Heirloom

Is health. No gem in tiara coronet is so
precious. Per contra, hereditary tendency
to disease often proves fatal legacy, since the
most trifing causes may fertilize the latent
germs of ill health and render the fruitage
deadly. An inherent transmitted weakness OF
the physical constitution is more effectually
opposed and counteracted by Hostetter's s
Stomach Bitters than by any other safeguard.
Digestion and assimilation promoted, due
bowels insured, are so many guarantees Of
permanent health, and these are the conse-
quences, among others OF like Importance, OF a
resort to the Bitters. This medicine also pre-
vents and remedies malarious complaints.

and neuralgia. Such warnings as loss of appe-
tite and sleep, too, should not be disregarded.
The Bitters will restore both without fail.

AN ARTIST AND TRAVELLER
Such Is E. F. Brotze, Who Was on the
Steamer San Juan
He Witnessed the Picking Up Of Twenty
On. Persons From the Foundered
Colima--In the City

E. F. Brotze, an artist, is in the city,
having come by boat to San Pedro from
San Francisco, aud having reached the
latter port by the Panama steamer San
Juan, the vessel that picked up twenty
one persons from the foundered Colima.
Mr.. Brotze, in talking to Herald man
last night said:
"The published accounts of this fearful
wreck are. in the nam, correct. On May
9th, while about two houis' steam from
Manzanillo, we sighted two dark objects
out at sea. which on every wave were
tossed high up and then Tor some seconds
would disappear. Immediately the San
Juan was headed IN their direction and
soon we found seven OF eight improvised
RATS, each bearing from one to four half
stripped and exhausted persons. The
sea was much broken but not what
could be characterized as dangerously
heavy sea. The worst part OF the storm
in which the Colima went down was at
that time over. 1t was fearful exper-
fence for those we picked up. There they
were, about entirely freed from cloth
ing. clinging to the frail RATS. Every
once in while one or more persons
overturn throwing its burden into the
waters and these would have to swim to
regain their old position, for the winds
would soon carry the lightened raft away.
All of the rescued agree in saying that
the Colima was top-heavy, made so by
her deck load of lumber
Mr.. Brotze's old home is in San An
tonic, Texas, but he will rer' ain in Los
Angeles for the future. For the past ten
or eleven III onths he has oeen an eX.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular correspOndsutl

siderable consolation out or the old
political maxim, that ga party is
never in such great danger as Just
after it has won a great victory"
and that it is q wise maxim, the
political upheavals of the last eight
or ten years fully prove. No great
er political victory was ever won In
this country than that which in
1892 put the Democrats in posses
sion of the executive and legislative
branches of the government. Yet,
look what followed. In 1894, dis
sension in Democratic ranks, and a
Republican Congressional victory;
in 1895, more Democratic dissen-
sion and Republican victories in
states heretofore safely Democratic.
The dissension in the ranks of the
victorious Republican party is al
ready marked, and it is not confined
to the fight over the presidential
candidate of the party, but includes
the policyto be followed by the over
whelming Republican majorityin the
House during the coming session of
Congress. These dissensions even
extend to thetariff question. Senator
Sherman lately said that he would
vote for no bill amending the tariff
that did not provide a duty for
wool, and Representative Dalzel,
of Pennsylvania, who may be the
next Chairman of the House Ways
and Means Committee, says the tar
if, is going to be amended and
duties raised. Now comes ex- Sena-
tor Henderson of Nebraska, who
pointedly says: 'The Republicans
cannot afford to open up the tariff |
question. If an attempt is made
to put duty on wool or any other
article, every industry will rush in
and demand more protection"
This being the situation, it is
natural that Democrats should
expect their prospects in the nation
al campaign to be much improved !
by existing dissensions in the Re-
publican party and those certain to
be engendered during the session of
Congress. As Senator Mitchell, of
Wisconsin, now in Washington,
sptly puts it, 81 have seen much
larker days than these for the
Democratic party. But there was
! vital principle in the doctrines of
Democracy which was destined to
make the party great, and which
viii always make it important"

Hon. William F. Harrity, chair
man of the Democratic National
committee, who has been in WASH
ington for several days, believes it
is always good politics to keep q
stiff upper lip, no matter how the
returns come in. This is the way
he sized up the effect Of last weeks
elections on the Democratic party:
''While the elections showed
great Republican victories, they
have not disheartened us, by any

together again by next November,

in the next campaign. We will
select a good candidate and we will
show the country that the Demo-
cratic party is still very much alive"
Ex-Congressman Somers, of Wis
consin, now in Washington on
private business, has a record as
a good Democrat aud a shrewd
observer of the trend Of Democratic
sentiment in the state. Re said
when asked who the Democrats of
that state favored for the presidential
nomination: "They are thoroughly
in accord with President Cleveland,

nounce himself as a candidate for

CASE OF INEBRIATEs.
an Animated Discussion Over the
Matter in the senate.

an Animated Discussion Over the
Matter in the Senate.
There was warm discussion in the
senate committee of the whole yester-
day over the bill of Senator StebbinS to
abolish the inebriate department Of the
Rochester hospital for the insane. 1t
was developed that this hospital had
first been founded as all inebriate hos
pital, and about $4,000 had been appro-
priated for the purpose, but 1t had been
enlarged as an insane hospital, and now
has over LOO patients.
Lieut.. Gov. Day took an active part
Ia the discussion from the floor. and
asked questions as to the status of the
hospital.
Senator Culkin ad vocated keeping a
place for the refuge of per ons who are
not criminals and are not insane. He
had known instances where such a
place is needed.
Senator Sperry wanted to know If the
men were sent there for term certain,
or if it would be practical to abolish the
inebriate department Oh May l, as pro-
posed by the bill.
could be discharged at any time, as they
are there under guardianship. He
stated further that the inmates are AFRO
CANT, and have the best of everything
without doing any work. They occupy
so much space that it is necessary TO
have insane patients sleep upon the
floor.
Senator French said that his expert
ence had convinced him that the depart
ment should be abolished.
Senator McHale suggested that a
change be made so as to provide for
Keely cure treatment.
Senator Stebbins doubted the advisa-
bIlity of such course. IL there was to
be all inebriate department maintained.
he believes it should be in separate
department and not allow the inebri-
ates TO mingle with the insane.
Senator Greer spoke of fourth hos
pital being proposed. He said this in
stitItion had been established after
years of agitation, and he would like
the newspapers to discuss the matter
and learn the sentiment of the public
before aboIishing the department.. He
declared that the Rochester hospital
had first been established as an inebri-
ate institution, and it seemed to him
that it was apparent that the insane
people were croWding the inebriates
out. he believed IN maintaining an
inebriate institution.
Senator Thompson urged the reten.
ton of the department and said he
knew of number of instances of good
results and cures being effected at the
Institution.
Senator Howard argued that it would
be mistake to abolish the inebriate
department, and, on his motion. the bill
was referred back to the committee on
hospitals for the insane, of which Sena-.
tor Stebbins is chairman, with request
that bill be drawn to preserve the in
ebriate law and at the same time relieve
the unpleasant conditions at Rochester

HORSE THIEF BOUNTIES,
Senator Roverud Fails to Secure
the Repeal Of the Law.

The consideration of the bill of Sen
ator Roverud to repeal the horse thief
bounty law caused quite debate in the
senate committee of the whole yester-
day. Tie judiciary committee had not
acted faVorabiy upon the bill, and, at
the request OF its patron, it had been
placed upon general orders, SO us to
give him a chance TO show Its merits.
Senator Roverud moved 10 recommend
the passage Of the bill, when the conf
mittee of the whole should rise, and
stated that the state had passed It's
babyhood days, and there Is no longer
anv need tor such bounty. He said that
a horse can be bought now for 81 so. or
less than the price of COW, and there
is no bounty Tor arresting cow thieves.
He did not believe III law that would
encourage the hiring of persons to steal
a horse, so that the owner could get
$500 for all animal that is of so little
value.
Senator McHale argued in favor of
retaining the bounty for the protection
of the country against horse thieves,
and incidentally said that owing to the
SWiftneSS Oh foot of horses il would be
more difficult TO catch horse thief than
one who steals cows.
Senator Nyman suggested that there
is no bounty for stealing mules, and he
was sure that Hennepin county has
mules that are switter than horses IN
Scott county. He favored repeating the
bounty law.
Senator McHale-Then you favor re-
peal because the law does not go far
enough?
Senator Wyman-That is it.
Lieut.. Gov. Day favored the retention
of the bounty, and spok of horses, OF
the most value, being stolen and run
across the state line.
Senator Schaller said that he never
heard OF a case where horse thief had
not been captured, and he favored re-
tanning the bounty.
Senator Roverud said it had cost $685.
600 to catch horse thieves in the past
ten years. He thought sheriff ought
to catch thieves without bounty.
a motion being made by Lient. Gov.
Day to indefinitely postpone, Sc nator
Roverud wanted to amend by referring
the pill TO the committee on agriculture.
This last motion was defeated and the
committee of the whole recomme ded

HAGGLING OVER EXPENSE.
Legislative Expense Comm ittee
sHas O Fight on Its Report.

Legislative Expense Comm Ittee
sHas a Fight on Its Report.
The committee on legislative expenses
made its second report on the committee
clerkships vest erday, and cut off a half
dozen of those recommended for APP
polntment on the first report. Those
recommended in the second report for
confirmation are W. A. Poland for as.
sistant enrolling clerk; Il. NJ Tobias,
clerk of the committee on tax and tax
laws and other committees; Alex Nc
Cune, clerk of the committee on mu-
nicipal legislation; A. B. Mattson, clerk
of the drainage and other committees.
and Robert Sinclair, mail carrier. There
was long contest over the coutirma-
ton of these reports. They were fought
as whole and fought singly, and quite
a number of senators took part in the
discussion. They were finally shut off
from further debate by call for the
previous question, made at the Instance
of Senator Stevens, who did not want to
proIong the debate needlessIy. The
yeas and nays were demanded on each
appointment.
Senator Knatvold was persist ant in
opposing the reports and claimed that
there were several idle clerks. He
wanted a stenographer employed to
take the place of the whole lot. He
thought Miss Miller. the stenographer
of the committee on municipal legiSla-
ton. could do the whole work.
Senator Spencer wanted the reports
referred back to the committee once
more.
Senator Wyman spoke several times
in support of the report of the commit
tee.
Senator Young scored point on par
liamentary law and induced eX-I.ieut.
Gov. Yale, who was in the chair, to re-
verse himself on the point that the mo-
ton to indefinitely postpone did not
shut off debate, as claimed by Senator
Durham, but opened up the whole sub
| ject.
Senator McHale said that the new
clerks would incur an expense of about
$4,000, but he was opposed to sending
| the report back.
Senator Sperry opposed sending the
report back.
Senator CuIkin said that economy
| was ali issue in the campaign, and he
believed in a practical application of
! the issue.
Senator Fuller said he had not Sc
cured the clerk he wanted, but he did
| not believe in sending the report back.
Senator Schaller and Senator Stevens
| spoke in favor Of adopting the reports.
The motion to refer back was lost, and
the report Of the committee on the ap-
| pointment of all assistant enrolling
clerk was adopted. The reports were
then adopted. as all entirety, on roll
call. The fight was all gone over again
later in the day, when it was decided
that each appointment should be made
on separate roll calls. The vote was
close and absentees were called from
the cloak rooms to insure the passage of
the resolutions.
