What woman is there who does not
admire beautiful complexion and de-
sires it for herself if it is possible to
be obtained? There is no doubt that
many women rather injure than i'm
prove their compilations by the lotions
used and the severe treatment given
to the skin. 1t is a mistake to try all
the lotions one sees advertised and to
torture the face with all manner of
gymnastics. 1t is the simple treat
ment that is the surest to result ben
eficially. Try a mixture of eau de
cologne and almond OIL The right
way to go to work is to begin with
very much diluted eau de cologne, half
water and half perfume. Soak some
pieces of medicated wadding in the
liquid and thoroughly and very gently
cleanse the face before going to bed
at night. When the face is perfectly
clean fresh pieces of wadding should
be soaked in a half and half mixture
of almond oil and eau de cologne and
the face should be very quietly mas
saged, rubbing always upward. and ex-
treme care being taken to avoid
stretching the skin. which is wonder
fully elastic. The oil must be allowed
to dry on the face and next morning
the skin mast be freely bathed in the
eau de cologne sold for baths and fric-
tions. / lay special stress on the lat
ter sentence as there is an immense
difference between ordinary eau de
cologne-of the finest quality-and the

for delicate compilations.

Many of the new millinery models
are particularly dainty and attractive.
Taken as whole the hats of this win
ter are sufficiently restrained and free
from exaggeration, and 1t is probable
that the same will continue to be true
of the millinery of the coming spring
and summer.
In our Illustration we show the very
latest and most becoming version of
the mushroom shape. The closely
gauged black silk has band of velvet
draped round the moderately high
crown and drawn into a big chou at
the side, while some full blown roses
of shining gold tissue and gauze put in
an effective appearance on the other
side.
The first hat on the left is made In
mauve taffeta with velvet ribbon and
deftly poised wings to match for its
trinming, and brown tulle softly gath.

The costume at the left is of gray
blue cloth. The blouse is mounted with
fine plaits to yoke of guipure or en-
broidery. which is bordered with bands
of the material united by sort of
lacing of silk galloon and tiny gold
buttons over an insertion of velvet of
little darker shade. This trimming
encircles the armholes and trims the
bottoms of the sleeves, which are
plated at the top and finished with
puffs and frills of lace.
The draped girdle is of satin. or vel
vet, fastened in front with buckle.
The plain skirt is plated at the top
and encircled at the bottom with five
rows of stitching.

greatly as do characters, but for the
average woman the eau de cologne
and almond oil treatment will bring
good results.
But there are probably some of our
readers who care more for dress than
they do for complexion and who are
impatiently waiting to hear the latest
from fashiondom. Well, first of all it
is extremely likely that with the
spring I,yles the flounce, especially in
narrow width, will occupy an impor-
tant position among spring trimmings.
Almost all the newest tailor made
costumes show the cape bolero ef-
feet on the shoulders, but in som.
cases it is very subdCed, Just giving
tinge of the 1880" effect. Indoor
blouses are now very often made with
perfectly fiat shoulder seams and with
the trimmings arranged to simulate a
fichu or short cape.
All of these old-time and truly pic
turesque touches on modern cos
tunes are delightful. They make for
variety. and lend themselves, when
properly chosen, to accentuate the in
dividual quality of each wearer's spe-
cial beauty of form or face. What is
needed to improve the evening and
house gowns of to-day is the copying
of what is best in old-time costumes,
as well as originality of creation.
There is little that is truly new, save
the severe tailored gowns. The evolu-
of hn hor l..
the creation of the strictly modern
and truly smart coat and skirt combi-

BOYS WILL RUN TOWN
CITY FOR YOUTHS PLANNED AT
LAKE WINoNA, IND.
Coming Men Will Conduct Govern
ment of Municipality and Own

Last for Three Weeks.

Richmond, Ind-A boy city, with
population of 5000 persons, ranging
in age from IL to II years, organized
as complete municipality, with
wards, city council, mayor and ad-
ministrative departments, officered
entirely by youths, will be created at
Lake Winona, Ind, next August, in
connection with the Winona Chau.
tauqua assembly. The city will ex-
ist three weeks.
The movement was started a short
time ago at a meeting attended by ~
prominent business and professional
men, connected with the Winona as
sembly and Winona Technical school.
There will be eight wardc in the
city, each one of which will elect
representative to the city council.
The council will meet once or twice
a week. A grocery, a notion, and
candy store, soda water fountain,
restaurant, a Photographic supply
shop. ETC., are to be owned and op-
Grated by stock companies of boys,
each number in charge of an adult.
At the end of the season the profits
will be distributed as dividends.
Each boy will be expected to pro-
vide his own provisions. He may
bring them with him, or buy them at
the grocery, and may eat his meals
at the restaurant, where the prices
will be only a little more than cost.
The boys will live in tents, holding
four and eight occupants. These will
be set up by the management wlthouo
cost to the boys, the small advance
fee charged each for his three weeks
residence in the city including his
tent, cot, light, fuel and water. There
will be five permanent buildings in
the city-the assembly hall, general
store and supply house, gymnasium,
band stand and electrical and photo
graphic shops.
One of the features will be tele-
phone system, by means of which the
boys will be taught the rudiments of
telephone engineering. This will be
an adjunct of the electrical depart
ment, and the boys interested in this
branch of work can purchase and in
stall instruments in their tents at a
nominal fee.
1t Is arranged that the electrical
class shall have a monopoly on the
telephones, charging all others one
cent for each CALL Any abuse of this
monopoly will be thrashed out before
the city council to the development
of boy oratory.
All boys who own cameras will be
urged to bring them. A camera club
will be organized to hold competitions
for the best pictures.
Every boy who possesses musical
instrument will be expected to bring
that with him also. A boys band
and a boys orchestra will be formed
out of the musical talent which the
management expects to discover.
A gymnasium will be constructed.
with the aid of the boys, working unI
der the direction of expert carpenters.
An athletic field will be laid out along
the lake and all kinds of competitions
held under municipal auspices.
Glasses in nature study will be
formed, in which competent men will
instruct the boys in all the interesting
lore of trees, rocks, birds, fish and
flowers that are to be found in and
around the lake.

Mutilated Money.

Currency of all kinds, mutilased,
dirty, ragged and almost worn out, IS
coming out of the west and middle
west and south to the treasury for re-
demption. During last week $4,500,-
600 was received. All The available
force in the treasarer's office is at
work on the currency in the process
Of redemption. It takes about three
days before new money can be issued
for it. This week the amount pre-
sented will probably exceed ,j5,000,-
600.
Under ordinary conditions all this
money would be returned to the
banks sending it in for redemption.
But so far as the interior is COLI
cerned money conditions are not
normal. They have now since the
Christmas trade is over more money
than they want.
Out of the $4,500,000 redeemed last
week, on instructions from the banks
sending it in, more than two-tbirds
was sent to New York to increase the
reserve of the banks there with is
reserve agent These reserves were
greatly reduced during December, and
will now be built up by the money
sent to Washington for redemption.
At the treasury It is expected the rush
to redeem old money and issue new
will continue well into February.

INTERCHANGEABLE Mileage.

The Sherman bill universal in
terchangeable railway mileage books
at the rate of two cents mile was
The subject of hearing before the
House Committee ON Interstate and
Foreign Commerce. II. L. Bond, sec
ond vice president of the Baltimore
and Ohio railway; I. B. Harrison,
representing the Louisville and Nash
vile, and a score Of other railway
men attended the hearing.
George T. Nicholson, third vice
president of the Atchison, Topeka
and Sanie Ee, said tine bill was so
broad that it practically amounted to
the fixing of two cents mile as the
maximum rate for all railroads in the
United States, and urged that it would
work great HARDSHIP on many rail
ways. Mr.. Nicholson urged that the
new anti-pass law should not be given
as a reason for the reduction of rail-
way fares. He said his railway found
that II 1-2 per cent of its passenger
traffic in June Of last year was on
passes to railway employees, but that
of its passenger business only 2 per
cent was on passes.
John Sebastian, passenger traffic
manager for the Rock Island, also
spoke against the bill. He said that
many rates are now below the three
cent basis, and that they have been
made so to assist N the development
Of the country.

New Militia Regulations.

That the new regulations for the
mobilization of the National Guard,
just perfected by Assistant Secretary
of War Oliver, will result in making
impossible any repetition of the diff
culties of reorganization of the militia
forces in the face of war, experienced
in the early days of 1898, is expected
by the war department.
These regulations provide for the
minimum strength OF the organizations
of the militia in time of peace and
equipment by the slate authorities SO
that this force will be instantly avail
able in time of need. In the first
place it is considered that the state
authorities will take advantage of the
generous appropriations made by the
national government annually for the
support of the National Guard, to
keep all their organizations at certain
fixed minimum strength. These men
are to be completely equipped and
drilled. And, in addition, the state
must provide ample equipment for the
militiamen who may be called into
service under the terms Of the law.
The experience of the Spanish war
recruitment demonstrated that it was
an impossible task for the national
government to equip recruits in twos
and threes and half dozens in little
country hamlets and feed and convey
them to central recruiting depots.
Therefore the regulations provide that
the task shall be assumed by The state

TRAIN SERVICE
IS IMPROVING
North and Southbound Trains Meet
at CaVe=n and the Salt Lake
Runs as Far as Las
Vegas

Railroad conditions in California are
righting themselves again, according to
train officials. Traffic to San Fran
cisco has been resumed on the South
ern Pacific company'S valley line, the
Salt Lake is having no trouble except
beyond Las Vegas, and the Santa Fe
is sending it's trains to Frisco over the
Salt Lake tracks. Although traffic is
far from normal, still, conditions are
vastly improved over those of the past
few days.
The Southern Pacific, although the
hardest hit of the three roads, has the
advantage of having two lines to San
Francisco, and when one road is
out of commission there is always a
chance that the second will be in run
ming order. AT present the coast line
is still blocked by cave-ins at the San
ta Margerita tunnel and many wash
outs along the road, and it is difficult
to say when traffic can be resumed.
Trains from Los Angeles are running
as far as San Luis Obispo, and from
San Francisco they are running down
to the other side of the cave-in.
The valley line was repaired enough
to permit of trains running through to
San Francisco Saturday, but yester-
day morning several slight washouts
blocked traffic for several hours, and
Wnen the tracks were nnally repaired
the trains had to creep their way over
the washed out area. AS result No.
was annulled entirely and the Owl,
which was due in this city from San
Francisco at S:55 a. m., did not get
into Los Angeles till almost $3.50 p m,
or almost twelve hours late.
The Salt Lake officials are desolate
when the subject of rain or washouts
is mentioned to them. Eighty miles of
punk" track down near Meadow val
ley wash are mute testimonials of the
reason. Trains are running as far as
Las Vegas without trouble. Beyond
that point-the wash.
The Santa Fe has not yet succeeded
in patching up it's tracks to the north
ern city, but by backing the trains to
Hobart and sending them on the Salt
Lake line, they are maintaining a SER
vice with San Francisco. All trains,
because of the roundabout way, are a
trifie late.

POLICE CAPTAIN
HAS HUNTED MAN
RETURNS WITH SUSPECTED
F0RGER
Officers Declare His Wife, Who Also
Is in Custody, Has Confessed
Completely of Both in
Cashing Check

Joseph NJ. Rogers, charged with for
gerry arrested in New Orleans two
weeks ago, returned to this city yes
terday morning in company with Cap
tain Auble of the police department,
who went to the southern city after
him.
Mrs Hazel Rogers wife of the man
under arrest, is confined at the city
iail awaiting trial on a charge similar
to the one on which her husband is
under arrest.
According to the police the crime of
which they are accused was commit
. ted February %. Mrs. Rogers was
employed as stenographer by DR.. L. P.
Harold OF Los Angeles. She is said to
have forged a check on the California
Savings bank, made payable to Mrs.
r. p. Harold and signed with the name
of John e. Brink.
The woman is said to have then
telephoned the cashier of the bank and
informed him it was Mrs Harold
speaking. She told him she was going
to send a man over to cash check
for $120 and asked the cashier to give
him the money A few minutes later
a man answering the description of
Rogers appeared at the cashiers Win
dow and presented the check, which
was cashed without question.
A few days later it was learned the
check was a forgery and Mrs. Rogers
was accused of the act. She is said
to have confessed and admitted her
husband was the one who cashed the
check. When the police went to look
for the man it was found he had left
the city, but clews were obtained
which led the officers who were work
ing on the case to believe that he had
gone to New Orleans. The police in
that city were communicated with and
within a week word was received that
Rogers had been found and arrested.
According to the story Mrs. Rogers
told the police she was forced to sign
the check by her husband, who in
sisted there were easier ways of MAX
ing a living than by working.
The woman has borne good reputa-
tion up to this time, and the police
believe her husband is directly respon-
sible for her fall.

ant in the American army does one Of
the best pieces of work the writer has
ever seen on his part; he gets into the
character and loses himself, which is
q very rare thing for Desmond. Maude
Gilbert as Lomta is admirable; sweet,
lovable, witching, she is a charming
picture of a senorita, and she capti-
waited her audience completely, doing
one of her most delightful bits since
she came here Two fine comedy
stunts are handled by Henry Stock
bridge as Teddy, the Irish sergeant,
and Burton as the Irish trader. H. S.
Duffield makes his Padre a fine study
and H. J. CHM as Pierre, the trapper,
is most satisfactory. Arthur Rutledge,
cast as the Spanish general, is again
at home, while Harry Mestayer, first
as a caballero and later as a soldier,
but always the villain, is as sinister as
could be asked. Elsie Esmond is happy
and fascinating as Chonita, and the
smaller parts are all well taken. Alto
gether the company has not appeared
generally to better advantage for many
a day.
In costuming, surroundings and all
details, save in a few minor points, the
play is staged to the last degree Of
correctness.
Seldom has any play ever received a
more cordial not to say demonstrative
reception. The curtain calls were too
numerous to count, and the characters
paraded back and forth after every act
to thunderous plaudlts. After act 8,
both afternoon and evening, the au-
thor was called for and tossed upon
the stage by the scruff of his neck from
the strong arm of Bill Desmond to
respond briefly in a speech of thanks.
Both performances were sold out early
and the enthusiasm was practically un-
limited
