The Standpat Losers.

As the reports from the election
simmer down to such defniteness
that il is possible to analyze them,
it becomes apparent that the coun-
try has succeeded in indicating some
tariff views OF sufficient earnestness
10 require attention. Through all
the Kaleidoscope shuffies of local
and personal issues, one thing shows
plainly enough TO be understood by
anybody unless perhaps the ultra
bigOted standpatter. That is that
tie voters have taken occasion, in
many districts, widely scattered, to
express their disaPproval of the men
who have insisted on ignoring the
question.
Ii is the later returns which iusti-
~ this conclusion. The early re-
ports did not make it clear that
tariff sentiment had been effective.
But with Cummins elected in Iowa,
with Guild "a winner by great vote
in Massachusetts, with Lacey and
BobcOck beaten, with Wadsworth
showed under, with Dalzeu barely
escaped, with Littlefeld almost a
victim in the earlier polling, with
Hepburn's majority cut almost to
disappearing, with McCleary defeat
ed by a big vote in a strongly Re
publican district, with Governor
johnson reelected in Minnesota,
where revision sentiment has long
been rampant-with all these things
painfully apparent, il is not diff
cult to reach the conclusion that
revision sentiment is still alive and
getting more and more expert with
Tho sealpel.
Governor Cummins wins in Iowa
by about 10000. That means "a great
deal. The railroads, the high tariff
lies, and the sore Republicans

mutton, and he beat them soundly

APPLICATION OF
CUTICURA REMEDIES

ftI am never without Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment since l tried
them last summer. About the latter
part of July my whole body began to
itch. / did not take much notice of it
at first, but it began to get worse all the
time, and then | began to get uneasy
and tried all kinds of baths and other
remedies that were recommended for
skin humors; but l became worse all
the time. Ny hair began to fall out and
my scalp itohed all the time. Espe-
cially at night, Just as soon as would
get in bed and get warm, my whole body
would begin to itch and my finger nails
would keep it irritated, and it was not
long before could not rest night or day.
A friend asked me to try the Cuticura
Remedies, and l did, and the first appli-
cation helped me wonderfully. For
about four weeks I would take hot
bath every night and then apply the
Cuticura Ointment to my whole body;
and kept getting better, and by the
time / used four boxes of Cuticura / was
entirely cured, and my hair stopped
falling out, but / continue to use the
Cuticura on my scalp. It keeps all dan

nothing to equal it. / will never be

To FIRST Love.
Fancy For Brass Buttons
Gone, Mrs. Thompson
Reloins Her Husband
is HAPPY

Three months ago Della Thompson
was singing to her spouse of happy
days agone, "Good-by, Hiram. must
leave YOU" Entranced by the glitter
Of brass buttons on the manly breast
of one John Doe Barthel, soldier, she
was ready to quit home and off to the
front She said her husband did not
support her and that love for him had
fed.
Judge Graham acted as the arbiter
OF family destinies, however, and yes
terday Mrs. Thompson told the court
that she was cured of the military hyp-
notism and was willing to live with her
husband.
The Judge might have said Bless
you. my children" but he did not In
stead. he gave the couple some sensi
BILE advice on the essential quality OF
give and take in the game OF matri-
mony, and with their Ave children trail
ing after, according to seniority, the
Thompson family departed from Tenn
pie Sheriff. Israel and started back to
their refugee home.
When Mrs Thompson first started the
suit she accused her husband of fail
ure to provide. He was not easily to
be disposed of, and came back with the
assertion that John Doe Barthel was
the wrecker of the family home, and
that he did not propose to board Bar
thel in addition to the balance of an
already large family. Barthel, 1t ap
pears, resided with the family before
the fire, and Mrs. Thompson admits that
she felt for him a sympathy on account
of his assistance that might have been
akin to love.
The Thompson reconciliation was not
tho only one yesterday in which Judge
| Graham played the leading role. Alice
Moore, who accused "Si" Moore of cru
city to her and sued for a divorce, was
convinced by the presiding Judge OF the
court that 1t would be wise to give
Moore another chance to live with her.
In chambers the couple talked over
their differences and the suit didn't
come up for trial.

sof Many False Tales
CHARGES CRUELTY

U. Adolphe Danziger, author, diplo-
mat, lawyer and dentist, prominent in
Jewish circles the country over, poIitf-
clan and litterateur. friend of the late
Mark Hanna and the revered President
william Mckinley, is seeking a divorce
on the grounds of cruelty and incom-
patibility.
The suit was fled yesterday. and
Whlie his attorney, John ]. Jury, is TAX

aratlon, the man who was United
states Consul to Madrid and made him
self famous as author of "The Monk
ana the Hangman's Daughter is rest
Ing quietly in Eureka, Cal, until the
time comes for him to give his testt-
mony.
Danziger welded Bertha R. Levy,
daughter of M. B. Levy. for many years
San Francisco real estate man. Two
cnlldren were born to them, Beatrice,
aged IA. and Nathan Moses, aged IL.
SAYS WIFE IS CRUEL.
The husband charges that his wife
treated him In a cruel and inhuman
manner by causing the children ito
write false and disquieting letters" as
to the health of the boy. Danziger
alleges that in these letters it was
stated that his son was in danger of
was in fairly good health
1t is further averred by the former
Consul that his wife made charges to
the Jewish ministers of San Francisco
that he had abandoned his family.
Danziger says that he was supporting
his family at the time and has since
then.
These reports are said to have come
to the ears of the Government officials
at Washington and caused the husband
much trouble and prevented increase
of salary and promotion to higher
post OF honor in the service of his
country.
ESTRANGED CHILDREN.
AS final charge Danziger says that
his wife has estranged the two children
from him.
Danziger is willing to submit the
question of the control of the children
to the court which may try the case,
but asks for a divorce on the ground
that 1t is impossible for him to live
longer with his wife.
After residing in San Francisco for
some time Danziger went to New York
and became identified with the Repub-
lican party. When Mark Hanna was
managing the Republican national
committee during the Presidential cam
paign of William Mckinley, Danziger
was made manager of the campaign
for the Hebrew department
During the time that he was in charge
of affairs ar Madrid Danziger's family
lived in the United States.
After leaving Madrid Danziger was
appointed to a consular position in
Scotland, and after his service there
returned to this country.
