C. F. GLOYSTEIN
His Mysterious Disappearance
Now Accounted For.
NOT MURDERED BY POPULISTS
Tha Threats of Ills Political Enemies
Had Beared Ml in, and Ha Fled to
Oregon Working on Farm Hear
Mora, Sherman County.
Bpokanb, Wash., September 8.
Charles F. Gloystein, farmer living
near Mica, this county, who mysteriously
disappeared from bis borne July 30, and
who was believed by many to have been
murdered by political enemies, is alive
and well, lie is working on a farm near
Mora. Sherman county. Or. Ilia where
abouts were discovered by Sheriff Pugh
who returned to-day from a trip to Moro,
where he met Gloystein and established
his identity beyond doubt. Sheriff Pugh
drove np to tbe place where Gloystein
was working, and called out:
" Charley Gloystein, is that you?"
"Mac. Mac. mv God. my God!" ex
claimed Gloystein.
He cried like a child, and made a full
confession, in which he admitted that he
pened the window oi his bedroom and
rapped on the bouse. Mrs. Gloystein iu
her bedroom downstairs heard the rap
pine and called to her husband. He also
admits that he put blood upon his hat
and threw it in the road. He walked
across the country to Colfax, dicguising
uiniseu ur bubvidk uio niuniauiie sum
wearing elasses. There he boarded a
freight train going to The Dalles. From
The Dalles he went back into the coun
try and worked on a hay ranch. After
ward he went to Moro and secured em
ployment. He tried to excuse himself
bv savins he was made afraid of his life
by tne action of tbe fopulists, woo bad
bung bim in emgy and put up threaten
ing placards. Gloystein refused to re'
turn with the Sheriff, and said, if bis
wife would come to him, he would go far
away and make a new start in life.
Mrs. Gloystein, who moved to Spokane
Saturday, is eager to take back her run
away husband. The affair has created
wide-spread interest all over tbe JNortli
west.

WORK FOR ALL.
The Great Northern Railway la Calling
for Mora Men.
Spokane, September 24. More men
are needed by the Great Northern rail
way. Forty more were added to the
force yesterday, but there is still plenty
of room for those who wish to work, al
though 1,000 laborers are scattered
along tbe track to the coast. Wages of
fered are $1.50 per day. Board is $4 per
week. The healthy man "who can t nnd
work " is at a discount to-day.
Porter Bros, and Stevens & Co. have
contracts to repair all the washouts in a
thorough way and make the big change
in the line of track along tbe Columbia,
where three and one-half miles of track
are to be moved up the hillside. In ad
dition to their big force of laborers the
railway company has increased its crew
of carpenters threetoid, and bas gangs
of laborers scattered all the way from
Seattle to Spokane, filling, ballasting
and obeying strict orders to put " every
thing in first-class condition."
Several new span bridges are being
Sut in at Kalispell and on the Cascade
ivision. Tbe carpenters are putting in
big coal chutes at Skykomish, Harring
ton, Wellington and Cascade tunnel.
The roundhouse at Skykomish is being
enlarged from three to eight stalls. Just
what work will be done on the snow
sheds has not yet been determined.
" We don't intend to have any snow
blockades this winter," declared a Great
Northern official. "Last winter we were
tied np because we were not prepared.
This season we are ready, and before
snow falls we intend to have the best
railroad west of the Rockies, and then
we propose to keep our trains moving
seven days in the week."
Beqaeat to a Church.

V. Marsh, a wealthy Chicago broker.
Protestant Episcopal Church of the A

it remains what is known as a "high

the money shall be of nse for the pro

money shall be nsed in tbe teaching of
what I considered rank heresy while
living, I should retain in vengeance from
my grave."

THAT NAVAL BATTLK.
Tha Engagement at tha Mouth of tha
Yalu River.
London, September 24. United 8tate
cruiser Chicago sailed this afternoon for
Havre, where she will be docked. She
will return to Gravesend in ten days to
take coal. Just before the Chicago sailed
a reporter went on board of her and ob
tained an interview with uaptain maiian,
her commander, on the recent naval bat
tle between the Japanese and Chinese
fleets. Cantain Mahan said
" Tiie great tiling with a fleet of war

is to prevent surprise and embarrass
ment. In this case there was a surprise,
and this fact to my mind supplies
prominent lesson. It is necessary in at
tempting to convoy transports that tne
convoying fleet should be decisively su
perior to that of the enemy. I am in
clined to think that the Chinese Admiral
formed his fleet so cIobo in shore because
he was obliged to do so. If he had gone
out to meet the Japanese fleet, which
was the proper course, he would have
uncovered the mouth of the river, into
wnicn the transports had gone: conse
quently he drew up close In shore, by
which movement he was tactically em
barrassed in the maneuvering. If his
fleet had been larger than the Japanese,
he might have advanced at the same
time, leaving a sufficient number of ves
sels to bead on a rush, which the Japan
ese might have made. The whole affair
illustrates the extreme difficulty attend
ing an attacking movement across the
water, unless you have control of the
water absolutely.
" Whether the Chinese succeeded In
their object it does not appear, but the
question is whether it was worth such a
risk for the sake of landing the troops.
It certainly was bad management to
tight so close in shore, for two of the
Chinese vessels bad not room to turn.
and so went ashore. That is one reason
why the Japanese did not try to pass
inrougntne uninese line, lor they would
have gone into shallow water and be
come entangled. It was a big engage
ment for modern vessels, but I see
nothing yet to lead me to suppose that
the engagement will point to the recon
struction or remodeling of war vessels.
The details so far are very meager. I
don't know anything about the manner
of attack, but doubtless before long the
Japanese will give full information. I
don't even know what was the formation
of the Chinese fleet in resisting the at
tack. All that is clear is that the Jap
anese were on the offensive and Chinese
on the defensive.
" What interests me most is to know
the manner in which the battle was
fought. Upon this point we have
nothing. But the great lesson is in the
risk of attempting to carry a great force
across the water. As a general rule
such an attempt is unsafe. Neverthe
less the mere existence of a hostile fleetd
does not ' constitute such a determent
upon the resolute man who sees that
the object of his attempt is sufficient tot,
Justify tbe risk, it remains to be seen
whether the object the Chinese accom
plished was sufficiently important to
ustifv the risk he took. To a naval man
the most interesting thing will be to
know in what order the Japanese fleet
approached the Chinese, whether i,t was
concentrated upon part of the Chinese
line or spread out over the whole line.
have no time to say more, as 1 bave too
much ship work to carefully study the
matter."
THE TIMES' LEADER.
It Discusses the Main Isauea of the Wai
at Length.
London, September 24. The TimesWudge walked away. Later in Bpeaaing
this morning published a leading article,
in which it says Japan has already ef
fected enough to convince intelligent
men the world over that henceforth they
must reckon with a new power in the
far East. Ping Yang and Yalu have
opened the eves of all not willfully in
different or blind that a new State has
taken her rank in the hierarchy of na
tions, and that her voice cannot longer
lie ignored in the councils. The Novoe
Vremya, the Times adds, reminds us
that Kussia still hankers for the posses
sion of a secure open harbor on the Pa
cific. Such a possession would be a great
menace to both England and Japan, who
are likely to be found standing side by
side on 'some important points should
the powers intervene in the present dis
pute. In another article discussing the war
the Times calculates the Japanese will
certainly reach Wiju from Ping Yang at
tbe end of this week, and that they win
meet the Chinese troops that were land
ed on the Corean bank of the Yalu river
by Admiral Ting. Continuing, the paper
says:
" It is not clear whether the Chinese
transports had time to disembark their
stores. At any rate tne condition oi the
Chinese column must be precarious, and
there seems nothing to prevent a Japan
squadron from revisiting the mouth of the
I am and destroying any uninese trans
ports remaining there. Further, it would
be easy for the Japanese to move troops
by sea from Ping Yang to the Yalu and
then shift their base of operations farther
north, thus supplying reinforcements to
the column inarching northward from
Ping Yang. This is almost certain to be
done if an advance in Manchuria is in
tended. With regard to an attack upon
Mukden, the Japanese cannot overlook
the fact that, apart from its presumed
sanctity, it is a position of. little military
value. It is not the shortest or best
route to Peking. If the naval sitnation
permits the free use of the Yaln river as
a basis, it will equally allow a far nearer
point of disembarkation. Whether or
not such defenses as Mukden possesses
would prove formidable to the Japanese
artillery, the fighting power of the Chi
nese would show to the best advantage
in the defense of a walled city.
"On the whole, difficulties and uncer
tainties may stiil deter the Japanese
commander from embarking upon 'such
an adventure. The pacification and ad
ministration of Corea would in them
selves absorb the energies of a large
military force during the winter. With
regard to the naval battle the damage
inflicted mnst have done in the days of
the 'seventy-fours.' Of ramming we
hear nothing, and it is not clear that
torpedoes played an effective part, while
it is tolerably certain the story of their
deflection by Chinese nets is wholly
mythical.
" As to the political outcome of the
straggle the restrictions which have
converted Yokohama into a kind of
Gibraltar cannot be much longer main-
tainedagainstthesspirationsofa power
ful naval and military nation too long
subjected to trammels. Unpleasant as
tbe changed conditions may seem, tbey

Lixinoton, Ky September 24.
Desha Breckinridge had a sensational
altercation with James Duane Living
ston, formerly of New York city, in tbe
Phoenix Hotel this evening. Livingston
was standing at the news stand reading,
when Breckinridge came in and bought
package of cigarettes. Livingston
spoke to Desha, and extended his hand,
saying:
" it's all over now ; we ought to be
friends; shake bands,
.Breckinridge, with an angry look on
bis lace, replied:
no. you one-horse scoundrel, l win
not take your hand. You profess to be
a man's Iriend and then stab una in the
back,
Livingston replied to this bv saying
that be bad done nothing of the kind,
whereupon Breckinridge called hiui a
damn liar." then Livingston struck
at Desha, and knocked his glasses ott,
following this up with a blow on the
neck. Desha reached for his hip pocket,
and instantly flashed in the air tbe long
blade of a big dirk. Both men were as
pale as death. Livingston in a moment
of desperation grabbed at the glittering
blade which Breckinridge aimed at his
heart The knife went between the
second and third fingers of Livingston's
right hand, cutting the third linger to
tbe bone. Breckinridge seemed to de
sire no more blood, aud gave Livingston
two strong kicks. The hotel clerks and
several bystanders rushed in and seized

raa up and said he would take a band in
helping Desha. Two witnesses say that
Lane alBO flourished a knife, but Lane
denied this. Livingston was hurried
into the wash room and tben taken to
physician, where his band was dressed.
Just before the trouble occurrred De
sha and Lane met Judge B. Kinkaid on
Main street. Kinkaid made several
speeches during tbe campaign denounc
ing jfJolonel Breckinridge in the most
killing terms. JJesba Breckinridge
id to Judge Kinkaid that the election
as over, aud he wanted to tell him he
was a " damn liar." 'ihe J uuge replied
he was unarmed aud did not want
have any difficulty in the open streets,
(isba told him to go and arm himself
rl r-a wnnlil miwt him anywhere, or at

t'lfnesV Then Lane, who is a compara
tive ftranger in Lexington, having re
cently come here from Mount Sterling,
said,kddresslng the Judge:

of the affair Lane said :
. "Yes, 1 did call him a

wants to; and what's more, if any of
his friends want to take it up, 1 will fight
them, too."
James Livingston is a man of about 30
years, and ib the financial agent of J.
Kennedy Tod, owner of the Kentucky
Union railroad. He was a strong Owens
man, and worked night and day for the
victorious candidate. While, he says,
he believes be saved himself from a fa
tal stab by grabbing Desiia's knife, he
thinks he will have a sore band lor some
time.
Judge Kinkaid is a grandson of Isaac
Shelby, the first Governor of Kentucky,
and is a first cousin of John T. Shelby,
Colonel Breckinridge's law partner, who
slapped Johnson in the face during the
famous Pollard trial. Judge Kinkaid is
about 40 years old. He haB always been
considered a man of the highest phys
ical courage, and everyone expects more
blood wiil be shed before this trouble is
over.
NEW STANDARD.
Tha Old "Era" System of Measuring
Typa Abolished.
Philadelphia, September 22. A new
system of measuring the volume of type
was adopted by the United States Ty
puthette of America last night. The
matter was brought up in the conven
tion by President McFetridge, who
pointed out the disadvantages of the
present system of the " em " standard of
measure. The committee recommended
the adoption of a system of measure
ment with the whole alphabet as a
standard system that would be equitable
to both employe and employer. It is
stated this system permitted the accu
rate measure of the work actually done,
and customers could be made to under
stand that the use of broad-face type
would cost more than narrow-faced.
There is no intention of reducing wages.

between the Southern Pacific and the

more left for the scene of their labors
to-day. One of the main points of con
tention between the two corporations
hs been in regard to the granting of
"side riders" to through passengers
without extra charge. The Atchison
and Topeka managers, who control the
Atlantic and 1 acillc, have always con
tended that they propose to carry Pas
sengers from Chicago to San Francisco
around by and through Los Angeles In
stead of by the most direct route.
few months ago the Southern Pacific out
in lorce a rule allowing passengers from
Los Angeles to Chicago to make a side
ride from that city to San Francisco and
then East by Sacramento without extra
charge. The Atchison and Tooeka folks
declared that this was equivalent to a
cut of 4 in the through rate, and made
a corresponding reduction. The South
era Pacific retaliated, and a rate war en
sued that lasted for sometime to the det
riment of both companies. At length a
truce was struck, witb the understand
ing that the dispute should be referred
to representatives of the opposing sides,
In consonance with that agreement the
meeting at El Paso will be held next
week.

UNITED STATES NAVY.
Five Additional Dry Docks Will bs
Recommended.
Washington, September 24. Speak
ing of the additional need of dry docks
for the navy, it was stated at the Navy
Department to-day that Commodore
MatthewB, the present chief of tbe bu
reau of yards and docks, will in his
forthcoming report recommend the con
struction of no less than five, one of the
number being at San Diego, Cal., and
another at Mare Island; and he also
favors the enlargement of the one already
at the latter place. If the two new ones
proposed are constructed and the one
now in use is enlarged, it is believed
these, with the new one on f uget sound
that is approaching completion, will be
sufficient for the needs of the service for
some time. As for San Diego, its harbor
is of first importance, as being tbe south
ernmost one of the Pacific Coast, and it
would also be convenient lor vessels re
turning from South aud Central America
that need docking. As to the size of
these docks, the Commodore will recom
mend that they all be of the largest
clats because o( the tendency to increase
the size of ships. The beam of the Ore
gon and other vessels just completed ex
hibits the tendency to increase the ca
pacity oi vessels.
ADVICE FROM BLUEFIELDS.
The Election Passed Off Quietly and No
Serious Disturbance Since.
Nxw Oblbans, September 23. Advices
by the steamer John Wilson, which left
Blueflelds September 15, say : The elec
tion passed off quietly September 8, and
there bas been no serious diBtuibance
recently. General Ortiz is a prisoner at
Coriuto. He is perhaps the ablest sol
dier in Nicaragua, and his arrest may
cause a revolution. September 13 Senor
Madriz. Special Commissioner, issued a
special decree prohibiting any stores on
Lscondido or Blueflelds river. This
causes a loss of thousands of dollars to
Americans. Orders have been issued
that any party living a foreign flag on
his property shall be fined 25 per day.
September 14 the United States cruiser
Columbia returned from Corn Island,
and the Marblehead steered at once for
Port Limon, Costa Rica, for instructions.
A fight is reported as having occurred at
Cape Gracios Adios, the reports of which
show that no great damage was done.
ALL QU1XT IN BLUEFIELDS.
Washington, September 23. Assur
ances bave reached the State Depart
ment that tranquillity again prevails in
Blueflelds, and that the entire Mosquito
reservation is now under tbe constitu
tional law of Nicaragua.
Movement of Currency.
New Yobk, September 22. A move
ment of currency of some magnitude is
in progress, the objective point being
New Orleans. The bulk of the money
is not shipped in the regular way by ex
press, but from the hanks that are tak
ing advantage of a 75-cent rate given by
the subtreasury here for telegraphic
transfer through the subtreasury at New
Orleans, by which interest is saved, as
delivery is made at once and all work of
miscarriage is avoided.

SALTING THE BUTTER.
All Depends on the Taste of
the Customers.
EVIL EFFECT OF IilFERIOB SALT
Question Involved la Soma DlfBeulty
When a Deflulte Anawar Is Repaired
as to tha Eaact Amount af Salt to a
Pound of Butler.
The question of salting butter Is in
volved in some difficulty when a definite
answer is required as to the exact amount
of salt to a pound of butter. All of
which depends on the taste of the cus
tomers. Una customer likes as much as
one and a half ounces to the pound, while
another desires no more than a half an
ounce. Tben there is the question' of
the manner in which the salt is added
whether In a dry state or in the form of
brine.
This is a point on which many people
differ. It is difficult to lay down a haid-
and-fastnile, says an ex-dairy teacher in
Lonuon uairy, as to the strength ol
brine, when brine is used. In its use
dairy maid ought to make the brine of
the strength best calculated to suit the
market to which she sends Hie butler,
Should only a very sligln ly salted butter
be required, as lor the London market.
one pound of good salt to a gallon of
water, left on the butter for about ten
minutes, will be sufficient; enough brine
snoum ue used to cover the grains thor
oughly. As a general rule, a little less
urine than the quantity ol cream out in
the churn should be used. If a more
fully salted butter be desired, the amount
of salt to the gallon should be increased
and allowed to remain a longer t tne on
the grains of butter say twenty min
utes to half an hour. 1 certainly con
sider salting by means of brine the best
method, if carried out with judgment.
i nnu mere are many wno nave tried
brine and given it up because they fail
to get the butter sufficiently salt: and
on inquiry I generally find the butter, is
churned into lumps before brining.
Done in this way it is useless, as it
would be hours before tbe salt had
penetrated to the center of each lump,
while tbe exterior would be too salt,
failing to effect that uniformity jvhieh
should be the aim and object of all good
buttermakers. On the other hand, if
the grains are no larger than wheat at
the time ol brining, the salt will quickly ,
penetrate, distributing it far more evenly
than by dry salting, and. also in mv
opinion, improving the color, flavor and
texture. Should the dairymaid be
churning daily, and desires to be eco
nomical, she can with safety, if the brine
be clear when drawn off, use it again for
the next lot of butter o course adding
a nttie sait to make up lor tnat incor
porated in tne. previous utsr-a buttsr.
The salt used' slieald. always be of tha
imst quality, either for dry salting or
lnlliar-.thogaA k Js Mrhapa nnt anltal.
so important in tne latter case. Hie
use of inferior salt often spoils large
quantities of butter placed on the mar
ket, whicli otherwise might have been of
good quality. It is false economy to nse
so-called cheap salt, snd especially as a
reliable brand is now so easily obtain
able. HOW TO THROW A BULL
In Order to Oat at Hla Feat for Trim
ming and Other Purposes.
A good method of casting a bull, in
order to get at his feet for trimming and
other purposes, by throwing is done
quickly, easily and safely. The plan is
as follows:
Put a halter on. Take a sound, ordi
nary cart rope; make a loop at one end
and pass it over the head, and let it rest
close around the neck, low down, like a
collar; bring the rope to the near side,
pasB It over the back part behind the
shoulders, bring it underneath the cheat,
and pass it under and then above the
rope, so as to make a loop around the
chest; carry the rope back, pass it over
the loins, and bring It underneath i lie
bellv close to the flanks: make another
loop as before and carry the rope Btraight
behind the animal ; iignten up tne loops,
one close to the elbows, the other close
to the hind flanks.
All being ready, instruct the man who
holds the halter-shank to pull forward,
and at the same time the men who have
hold of the loose end of the rope to pull
straight backward, and down the ani
mal goes, generally witnout a straggle.
Keep his head down and the rope firm.
and as a rale the animal lies quietly un
til such time as it is desired that lie
should get up. when the rope is slack
ened and up he gets, noue the worse for
the casting.
The heaviest bull may be cast In this
way : bnt. ol course, no one should in inn
of casting cows in calf, either in this
way or any o' her. Those who have ex
perienced trouble in the past in trim'
ining their bulls' feet will greatly appre
ciate this novel method of casting for
that purpose.
WATERING HORSES.
French Breeder Always Olve
Them
Water Before Feeding.
Tbe good horseman will water his
horse before feeding him, especially in
the morning, says an exchange. French
breeders always water their horses be
fore feeding, and in all the large stables
of horses in this country that practice is
followed. Yet many horsemen and
farmers never think of the advantage
nd necessity of it. If the horse could
talk, or if man could understand him,
he would ask for a drink the first thing
every morning, and you will be surprised
bow eager they are to get it, wnrioer me
weather is cold or not. I wonder how
many farmers ever think of watering
their horses before feeding tbem in the
morning, or how much they lose by not
doing it. The horse comes from work
at night, gets a drink, then is fed mostly
on dry grain, eats bay part of the night,
and in the morning another dry feed,
and bv this time is very dry himself, so
when he reaches the water he fills bis
stomach so fall that indigested food is
forced out of the stomach and is a dam
age rather than a benefit to the horse.
Now, my friends,try watering one horse
before feeding in the morning, thus slak
ing his thirst and at the same time wash
ing the stomach ready to receive the
morning feed, when, being properly
moistened with saliva, it will remain
until thoroughly digested. Your horse
ran do more work on less feed and will
live healthy much longer. Besides, bo
