IL Was Monday Morning, July 30, That
Gioystcia Disappeared
The Gloystein s'myssery"-now a
mystery no longer-is inst eight weeks
old todey. IL was early Monday morn
ing, July 50, that Gioystein, without
word TO his wife that could
afterward throw light on the
occurrence disappeared Into the
darkness That forenoon Sheriff Pugh
was notified aud he proceeded nj
once To the scene of the strange occur
renee. The theory Of wi play imms-
dintely found favor In she neighbour
hood, and for more than week friends
and peighbors beat the bush, raked the
standing grain and penetrated every
cave aud Granny In the neigh borhood
for miles around. Excitement became
intense. Work was abandoned and
fields of grain that needed cutting
badly were neglected, while snecula-
ton aud discussion OF tho ali-absorbing
topic Of the hour ruled instead.
The character of Gloystein was fully
discussed At that time. He lived among
political antagonists and was himself
a strong wiiled, psrverse. self-centered
man. His popuiist neighbors twitteo
MIN with their opinions and wild ar.
guments. and he replied with invec
tives. They hanged him In effigy In
return, and wrote educational inscrip-
tions about him for their children Il
read on the ckboards in the Mics
schoolnouse. The defeat Of Penney
ism In Oregon was cause of Joy In
Gloystein's breast. and he hung oul
the Inscription, where all might reed
'Hsve you heard tho news from Ore

Gloysteln was invited TO Join. He
started. but at the point where hs
found out the true character of the or
ganizltiou he turned back aud left this
lodgeroom without having completed
the obligation. That was but few
weeks before he disappeared.

THE PROPER cApER.

Embroidered cashmere is much liked
and will be made up with lace and rib
bons.
New costumes show coats with fronts
extending only to the waist line and long
skirts at the sides and back.
White dotted muslin is to be one Of
the popular materials for this summer.
The making and trimming are modified
to suit the style of the wearer.
A great deal of red is used for girls of
all ages. Even young ladies not infre-
quently appear in the most glowing scar
let. This is pretty when modified with
black or blue.
Evening and dancing dresses are trim
med with festoons of lace. Some of these
are headed by loops, puffs or twisted
folds of silk as a finish for the upper
edge of the lace.
Half inch wide ribbons in two colors
are used for drawing into beading on
dresses for young. ladies and girls. Some
of these ribbons are white, with red, black
or other colored edges. Many all satin
ribbons are also used for this purpose.
Among the desirable early summer
dresses is a navy blue plain gingham en-
breidered in cardinal. The skirt is made
with panels and narrow hounce at the
sides and back. The waist is fitted over
a lining, and the sleeves are in leg O.
mutton shape, with embroidery cuffs

Discussing a Legal Point.

Probably no one in town enjoys joke
better than Major Baldwin, and he never
allows to pass unimproved an opportu-
nifty of making one. AT the party at Mr..
Roberts the other evening he raped the
company to order and stated that party
had recently come to his office and asked
a question on legal point which he was
unable to answer. AS the district attor-
ney was present and as the question and
answer would interest every one pres
ent, he would repeat them. The ques-
ton was, could man in North Da-
kota marry his widows sister,"
The district attorney promptly answer
ed that he could if he wanted to, and the
company concurred in his decision.
But when the major quietly remarked
that this was the first time he had heard
that dead man could marry, there were
explosions of laughter which continued
for several minutes.-No North Dakota Re
