How to shampoo tho Face.

The face shampoo not only adds to
the personal attractiveness of the sham
pooer, but creates peaceful, cheerful
spirit in her. 1t rests her nerves after a
mornings shopping. 1t restores her
temper after forenoon in the kitchen.
To take it, rub fine soap and little
glycerin ON sponge wet in water as
hot as can be borne. Lather the face
and neck thoroughly with this. Then
rub with almond meal until the skin is

His VIII and Do 1t Quickly.
Berlin, Jan. 3.-It Is announced that
China has yielded to the demand of
dor at Pekin, for the dismissal of the
commandment of the Chinese garrison
at Tsao-Chow, province of Shan-Tung,
because of the use of threatening
language to the German missionaries
there. The Chinese government has
telegraphed a dismissal of the COM
mandant.
missionaries there. The Chinese gov
eminent has telegraphed a dismissal of
the commandment
According to a dispatch Saturday
Baron Heyking, in making his demand
for the dismissal of the commandment,
insisted that a copy of the telegram of
dismissal should be laid before him by
o'clock next Thursday evening. The
tsung-i-yamen requested the ambassa-
dor to grant them until o'clock that
evening Saturday before making a
reply to the demand. whereupon he
threatened to leave Pekin.
London, Jan. 4.-Up to a late hour
last night the statement Of the Man
chester Guardian yesterday morning
had neither been confirmed nor denied,
and the general belief Is that whether
an actual note has been dispatched to
China or not The Guardians state
ment fairly represents British policy.
The statement was to the effect that
whatever concessions were given In
China to any other nation must be given
to Great Britain. For instance, II Rus
STA used Port Arthur for a winter har-
Dor Great Britain would do the same.

Holp-up NUMBER SIX
That Has Taken Place at Kansas City with
In Fifteen Months.

In Fifteen Months.
Kansas City. Jan. 5. - After about
three months of inactivity Kansas
City's train robbers scored another
brilliant achievement last night. This
time the Kansas City. Pittsburg and
Gulf road is the sufferer. The COM
pany's Port Arthur express, which left
the company's station here at 6:40 last
night, was robbed before 1t had passed
beyond the city limits. Two men,
whom no one but the express messen-
ger seems to have seen, climbed into
the express car as the train left the
station. They overpowered the messen-
ger, bound and gagged him, and rified
the car before the train came to a stop.
When the train slowed up at a railroad
crossing known as Air Line Junction,
near the southeastern limits of the city,
they climbed out of the car and disap-
peared. Nothing was known of the rob-
berry until negro train porter entered
the car and found the helpless express
messenger. At this writing nothing is
known as to the amount of booty Sc
cured
After the train had been stopped and
others of the crew had come forward
and released the express messenger, 1t
was found that the robbers had rified
the local safe, taking from it every
thing of value. They had made no eff
fort to disturb the through safe, which
is protected by time lock. From Air
Line Junction a telegraphic report Of
the robbery was sent to the city and
the train proceeded south. The Wells
Fargo company controls the express
business on the Pittsburg and Gulf
road. At the express company's office
here c. r. Teas, the local manager,
stated that there was not much of value
in the local safe and that 5000 or $500
would probably cover the company s
loss.
In police circles, however, the i'm
preston is that the robbers secured
several thousand dollars in money and
jewelry. The report received at the
express company's office here states
that the robbers entered the exprss
car as the train was passing Kyrads,
having forced the rear door with a
Jimmy" E. N. Hyde. of Kansas City,
was the express messenger. Upon turn
ing from his work he looked into the
barrel of sX-shooter. The messenger
offered no resistance, though he was
well armed, and after the robbers had
bound him one of the two stood guard
over him while the other rihed the safe.
The robbers are described as smooth
faced young men and the fact that both
were extremely nervous while in the
express car is taken as evidence that
they are new recruits to Kansas City's
force of train robbers. At 7:10 o'clock
last night a special train was sent to
the scene of the robbery with a force
OF policemen and marshals, and these
men are now securing the country along
the river banks in search of the rob-
bers. Though last nights robbery is
the first that has occurred on the Pitts
burg and Gulf line it is the sixth crime
Of the kind perpetrated In Kansas City
within fifteen months. There have been
several arrests of alleged train robbers
during this period, but there has not
been a single conviction

CENsURE OF HUsHNELL's COURSE.
Told That the Western Reserve xviii Not
Stand Your Trickery,"

Told That the Western Reserve "Will Not
Stand Your Trickery,"
The feeling of the Republican MEM
bers who voted for their caucus nom
inees is openly expressed against Gov
ernor Bushnell more than against Kurtz
or other Republicans who combined
with the Democrats. The State Jour-
nal, the Republican organ of central
Ohio, prints a large picture of the gov
ernor with heavy black border. Some
Republican clubs have cancelled their
engagement of quarters here for the in
auguration exercises next Monday, and
many protests are being received at
the state house. Colonel T. W. Moore,
Of Marietta, another appointee Of Gov
ernor Bushnell, yesterday resigned as
trustee of the state insane asylum at
Athens.
Joseph G.. Gest. of Washington Court
House, a Republican editor. also ten
dered his resignation as deputy oil
Inspector. on account Of the governors
attitude on the senatorial contest. The
designations of Judge Nash, Colonel
Moore and Gest were all promptly ac-
cepted. The governor received tele-
gram from Warren, reading: "Trum-
bull county and Western Reserve will
not stand your trickery to the Repub-
lican party" This was signed by Geo.
Predmore, Joseph Smith, George Cauf-
field, Mungo Brownlee and Harry Gil
bert Another from Youngstown told
the governor that "All your Republic
an friends here regret very much that
you should seem to be forming an al
lance with Democrats with the purpose
Of defeating the expressed wishes of
our party"
Still another from Elyria says that
1T Is the unanimous sentiment of the
Republicans Of Lorain county that Mark
Hanna is entitled to receive the vote of
every member of the legislature elected
upon the Republican ticket" This is
signed by Judge Nye, of the common
pleas court; Editor Johnson, of The
Reporter and twenty other prominent
Republicans. The Republican glee club
of Columbus, which gained a reputa-
ton in the last presidential campaign
and sang for Bushnell and Jones in
the last state campaign, last night
adopted unanimously a resolution not
to participate in the inaugural exer-
cises next Monday.
Both factions were busy last night,
the anti-Hanna men looking after the
Republican malcontents and the Hanna
men figuring how to continue the cam
paign. The latter issued an address in
which they took the ground that the
vote for speaker was not a criterion by
which to judge the vote for senator,
and that the issues on the two ques-
lions were not the same. expressing the
belief that the Republicans would come
up solid or nearly so for the caucus
nominee for senator.
Ex-senator Brice in response to in
quiries telegraphed Democratic mem
bers that the future and the integrity
of the party would be best served by
the Democrats voting for a Democrat
for senator.

neeQS.
Columbus, o., Jan. 4.-The senatorial
contest in the Ohio legislature has be-
come desperate. The combine of ten
anti-Hanna Republicans with the DEM
ocratic members won at the caucuses
last Saturday night and again yester-
day in organizing both branches of the
legislature in the interest Of opposition
to the reelection of Senator Hanna
There are two more dates for tests of
strength-the joint senatorial caucuses
to be held tomorrow night and the
joint balloting for senator one week
from tomorrow. With the complicG-
tions of the legislative organization and
it's patronage disposed of the Hanna
men last night began a most desperate
fight on the senatorship. The Hanna
men deny that they will form a coali-
tion with Brice for a gold Democrat
for senator rather than be beaten by q
free silver Republican, or that they will
do anything else but fight it out, if it
takes all winter
War Carried to the Counties.
While they are not able to give list
long enough to elect they claim that
Hanna is stronger than BoXwell and
the other regular Republican candi-
dates in the organization of the legis-
lature, and that the opposition has not
enough votes to elect a senator. The
Hanna men concede that they have lost
the power of the organization of both
branches, can name no chairman, place
no members on desirable committees, or
dispose of any other state patronage;
but they have carried the war into the
home counties of the "bolting' Repub-
lican members, and expect the neces-
sary changes before next Wednesday
night, at the demand of the boilers I"
constituents.
Ants Knew "Where They Were At"
The superior organization of the OPP
position was shown in the combine yes
terday securing nearly all of the doubt
full votes. The opposition has had an
army of workers here for a week, with
detachments that kept close to each
one of the doubtful Republicans. The
opposition marched to the state house
in line like troops, and worked for
weeks like soldiers under orders. They
had been doing picket duty, skirmish-
ing and walking guard lines, and they
had their triumphal march in the most
unusual manner because of the conf
dence in their organization. The wives
and daughters of the managers of 1.-The
combine secured choice seats in ad-
vance in the legislative halls, awaiting
the arrival of the anti-Hanna hosts,
and the most elaborate floral designs
were on hand for the occasion.

"Plungcr," is now being completed ut
Washington, and will have great
speed, offensive power greater than
that of the ordinary torpedo boat and,
as the Scientific American says. a
wide radius of action.
The experiment boat in New York
harbor has been put through thor
ough course and has proved itself sat
isfactory. In action this boat sinks
leaving tiny coming tower hardly
visible above the waves, and as hard
to hit as a human head bobbing up
and down on the face of the waters.
Steered from the coming tower it
can approach the largest ships with
impunity and discharge its torpedoes
necessary it can sink out of sight al
together under its adversary.
When first read of. this boat seemed
the wild phantom of a dream. a sort
of Renaissance of Jules Nerne's "Nau-
tilas" in "Ten Thousand Leagues IN
der the Sea-" but the accounts of it
are too accurate, the journals in which
they appear are too reliable for such
an opinion to hold good. 1t is not by
any means the first time that fiction
has shown the way and practice has
realized in hard fact the dream of the
fabulist
There is no doubt but that the pa
tient work of Mr.. Holland has been
at last crowned with success. Like
all successes it is the result of many
failures. For over twenty years has
this gentleman been experimenting,
building, throwing aside and yet
once more graphing the problem.
That he has succeeded argues like per-
severance with the greatest inventors
of this or any other age. 1t is only
after the severest toll and the most
logged determination that victories
over nature are won.

With the article of the constitution
clearly before them, it seems strange
that various religious bodies strive to
get a remission of taxes upon their
property. 1t is not that the men,
bers of the Executive or of either
house do not recognize the good done
by these various bodies. The good
they do is recognized and liberal do
nations are made by many who with
stand their requests. The moment
you begin to assist one sect, you must
assist all. The Mormon would have
as much right to assistance as the
Congregationalist. the Roman Catho-
lie and Episcopalian as the Methodist.
There never was wiser provision
than that section in the constitution.
and the man who proposed it ought
to feel proud of his work It has saw
ed an infinity of trouble and heart
burning.

\ SUBMARINE BOAT.

a vessel which may revolutionize
still further the conditions of naval
warfare, is the Holland submarine
boat. OF submarine boats there have
been many but all have presented de-
facts which have, up to the present,
caused them to be laid aside. At the
present time the French lay claim to
two boats, the "Zede" and the Gym
nota," while the Spanish have the
"Peral," Though the work on these
boats has been kept very secret, the
fact that they remain the sole repre-
sentatives of their class, shows that
they are still in the experimental
stage, or others of similar character
would be built
OF the Holland boat one, on a small
scale, is operating in New York har-
Dor, and is found to be perfectly sat
