10 THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1901'. KINTUCK IS COMING China Mutual Liner Substi tuted for Arab. TWIN SISTER OF THE PAK LING Almond Branch Rcnchc the "Lower Harbor in Safety Captain James I. Smith Dead-The Lost Rio tic Janeiro Located. The Government has substituted the big China Mutual steamship KIntuck for the Arab, to load animals at this port for the Philippines. The KIntuck has already carried a cargo of animals to the far East in the Government service, and as she is already equipped for the service, there will be no -delay in dispatching her. The Kintuck is a twin sister of the steamship Pak Ling, which loaded wheat In Portland about three years ago. Both of the steamers were on the stocks at the same time, and their diremsions are exactly the same, as follows: Length, 410 feet; beam, 48.1 feet; depth of hold, 27.4 feet. The KIntuck has never visited this port, but her master, Captain G. W. Long, was here in command of the Teenkal three years ago, and is well remembered by many people along the front. The Kintuck is now en route from Ma nila for Puget Sound, and on arrival at the Sound will be .sent around to Port land. She has a capacity of nearly 7000 tons but will leave here on rather a mod erate draft of water, as she will carry 00 head of horses, a cargo which takes up considerable space, but does not increase the draft of a ship very much. TROUBLE IS OVER. Almond Branch Reaches Lovrer Har bor "Without Further Mishap. The big steamship Almond Branch got clear of the steel cable which was arrest ing the movements of her propeller, about midnight Monday, and yesterday morn ing made a triumphal exit from the upper harbor to the .North Pacific mills, where she will finish taking aboard lumber. There was nearly as much current In the river yesterday as there was when the steamer crashed into the bridge, nearly a week ago, but, gaining wisdom from the past, fne men in charge secured two big towboats to help her. The Ocklahama had a line from, ber bow, and the Harvest Queen was fast astern. The steamship was also working her own engines, and, with bow pointed down stream, she started through the bridges in the presence of a large audience, who had assembled half hoping that the hoodoo was still doing business at the old stand. They were disappointed in this respect, however, for whenever the unruly Branch would make a move sideways, the Ocklamaha would jerk her bow back Into line in a hurry, and the Harvest Queen would perform a similar service whenever the stern start ed to swing. The big steamship, in spite of her numerous scrapes, is uninjured. The only damage she sustained when she struck the bridge was a small hole punched in one of her upper deck plates, and that -was repaired at very small expense by bolting a steel patch about two feet square over the hole. This work was performed op board the ship, and she is now in fit condition to proceed to sea as soon as her cargo Is aboard. She will carry about 3,000,000 feet of lumber, and will get away about March 10. RIO WRECK LOCATED. Lies in 18 Fathoms of "Water, and May Be Ruined. SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2C. The wreck of the steamer Rio de Janeiro has been "located. It lies within 200 yards of the red buoy off Fort Point, and the lead shows that the vessel lies in from IS to 1SJA fathoms of water.

AGAINST PUBLIC BUILDING. Hot Probable That There "Will be Any Legislation This Congress. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28. It looks as If there was to be no public building legis lation at this session of Congress, and this aspect Is strengthened by the pos sibility of the passage of the river and harbor bill. There are several things operating against public building bills. In the first place, the main Interest cen ters In the omnibus bill which was re ported some weeks ago, making provision for extensions and enlargements of build ings heretofore authorized. The sum total carried by this bill Is pretty high, and has aroused some question as to the advisability of allowing its passage. Re publican leaders are quite well aware of the sentiment that is spreading among the people In regard to the unprecedented appropriations of the present session of Congress, and are loath to make any further unnecessary appropriations which will bring down undue criticism upon their heads. If they can see their way clear, therefore, they would like to shunt this omnibus bill. More than this, this bill takes care of buildings In only the larger cities, as a rule, and representatives from other lo calities, who are equally interested in public buildings, are Inclined to with hold their support from this measure, unless their towns are also provided for. This cpuld not be done, for If all the bills for public buildings were passed, there would be little left for running the gov ernment. The general bill Is therefore apt tc encounter the antagonism of a large number of disappointed Congress men. Then there are those who want new buildings authorized, but to this there is a very decided objection. These men as well are ready to oppose the gen eral bill. In view of all these facts, it is hard to see how the bill can pass. AT THE HOTELS. THE PORTLAND. John Lcary & wife, Seattle H R Robertson, do C F Fisher. San Fr John S Howell. San Fr "W V Willie.

Xot Content "With Their "Worlc, the Crowd Cat the Corpse Down and Cremated It. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 26. George Ward, the negro who murdered Miss Ida -Flnkelsteln, the school teacher, by shoot ing her with a shotgun and cutting her throat yesterday afternoon, was lynched today. In a few hours after his arrest an angry mob battered down the doors of the jail, dragged the prisoner to the Wabash bridge, several squares away, and hanged him to the bridge draw. Not content with the hanging, the crowd cut the corpse down, and, laying It on a sand bar under the bridge, kindled a fire and cremated the remains. Ward was arrested at 10 o'clock at the car works, where he was employed as a laborer, and, after being fully identified by two citizens, made a confession. His only excuse for the murder was his alle- THE LATE CAPTAIN hr " "" T - Lm f"""fm Captain James L. Smith, better known as "Big Jim" Smith, died suddenly at Newberg, Or., Monday afternoon, aged C3 years, 11 months and 28 days. Captain Smith was for more than 20 years a prominent Hgure In Willamette River steamboat circles. He was in com mand of the steamer Nellie, running between Salem and Portland, about 1SS1, and afterwards was master of the old steamer Isabel. From these steamers he went Into the service of the Oregon Pacific, and afterwards to the O. R. & N. Co.. at different times working on all of the Willamette boats of these companies. He was last In command of the steamer City of Eugene. Captain Smith was of giant stature, and a bluff, good-humored sort of a. man, who made many friends all along the river. The remains will be brought to Portland from New berg, arriving at 0:30 this morning, and will be Interred at Lone Fir cemetery. gatlon that Mies Flnklesteln called him a "dirty nigger" and slapped him In the face. Sheriff Faslg communicated with Governor Durbln, but the mob accom plished Its work before any effort was made to get the militia Into action. Be ing advised of the threatening situation, the Governor wired to Captain Thomas, of Company B. to take his company, fully armed, In a position to be Immediately ready for duty in response to a call from the Sheriff. Before the Sheriff called on the mllltla the prisoner was in the hands of the mob and was dead. At noon the crowd outside the jail, num bering several hundred. Including men, women and boys, battered down the Iron doors, but was driven back by Jailer O'Donnell, who fired over the heads of the mob. Deputy Sheriffs Cooper, Hes sick and Leforge were struck by scatter ing shot and slightly Injured, but nobody in the crowd was hurt. A detail of po lice arrived at the Jail and tried to dis perse the crowd, but with poor success. The crowd kept on growing, and the excitement increased until at 4:35 o'clock a crowd of irresistible numbers attacked the Jail, battered down the outer doors, secured possession of the keys and en tered the cell room. A piece of railroad timber 25 feet long and eight Inches thick was used as a battering ram. The side door was opened by the crowd Inside and the others were admitted In that way. The cell was quickly opened and Ward was dragged forth. He realized that no marcy could be expected from the mob, and fought with the desperation of a beast at bay. He was dragged forth to the street, still fighting with all his strength, but a blow from a heavy hammer felled' him to the ground. A noose was adjusted to his neck, and the mob started with Its victim toward the Wabash bridge. The feeble resistance made by the wretched creature after the blow with the ham mer was soon quieted by the savage blows of the mob. Face downward he was dragged through the street to the bridge and across the rough planking from the driveway to the drawbridge. Many are of the opinion that the negro was dead before the scene of the hang ing was reached. However, the rope was thrown over one of the upper beams and the body drawn up. It had been swinging in that position but a short time when some one suggested burning. Immediate ly a fh-e was kindled on the bank of the river near the bridge. Into the fire the body, bearing no signs of life, was thrown, and faggots were piled upon It. The feet protruded from the fire on one side, the head on the other side. The fire had barely been started when a man arrived with a can of turpentine, which was poured upon the flames. After that, com bustible oils seemed to flow spontane ously toward the fire, and the flames leaped high, while the body of the wretched murderer was rapidly consumed. There was no attempt at disguise on the part of any member of the mob. Within 10 minutes of the time when the mob reached the bridge with the victim, the people began to assemble in increasing numbers. When the body was taken down to be carried to the Are the east bank of the river and the bridge on the city side of the draw were crowded with thousands of men, women and children gazing at the awful spectacle. The certainty that the wretch was dead did not appease the anger of the mob. With grim determina tion they fed the flames and watched the flesh shrivel to cinders and the bones crumble and burn. The souvenir fiend was on hand and in force, and fragments of the wretched murderer are now scattered broadcast. One man, while the feet protruded from the flames, offered Jl for a toe from the "nigger's fooL" A venturesome youth, drawing a knife from his pocket, made a dash for the prize. He quickly ampu tated a toe, delivered the goods and got his money. As the bones began to crum ble and fair apart, the fragments were drawn from the Are and carried away. At S o'clock there was nothing left of the body except a small section of the trunk and the back of the head. Busy hands kept the burning faggots piled upon the roasting segment. Women came to the scene by scoree and elbowed their way Into the Inner circle of spectators, apparently unmoved by the horror of the spectacle. When the last fragment of the body was con sumed the crowd still lingered, augmented by new arrivals satisfied to gaze on the ashes of the tragqdy. Ward was 27 years old, and left a widow and two sons. He came here two years ago from Clrclevllle, O. The state ment that he was at one time In an In sane asylum was denied by the widow. He served a jail sentence In 1SS9 for lar cency. As public sentiment upholds the lynching, no prosecutions are expected. May Be Another Lynchinjr. INDIANAPOLIS. Ind., Feb. 26. A ne gro, who is thought to be the one who assaulted Miss Dorothy Darter in Irv lngton last Thursday, and for whom a large reward has been offered, is being held at Newcastle, Ind. If he is taken to Irvington and identified, in all prob ability he will be lynched. Miss Darter will recover. CAPTAIN J. E. LIGHTHALL. Denth of a "Well-Known Civil En gineer and Naval Architect. NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Oaptain J. E. Llghtnall, 53 years old, a civil engineer JAMES L. SMITH. and naval architect, of Washington, D. C, Is dead at the Bartholdl Hotel. Death was due to heart failure. The body was removed to an undertaking establishment to await the Instructions of the dead man's relatives. He had been staying at the hotel for a week and Sunday night he complained of feeling 111. A physician who was called to attend him found that he was suffering from Bright's disease. When the chambermaid went to his room she found him sitting In a chair with a 510,000 check In his hand. The check was the price of a patent Mr. LIghthall had sold a few weeks ago to a street-railway company. Death had evidently -overtaken him while he was examining It. Mr. LIghthall was born in Troy and was a graduate of the Polytechnic Insti tute in this city. He was also the In ventor of the "combined harvester" now employed in the wheat fields of the Pa cific Coast states. He was chief engineer of the Third-Avenue Railroad of this city, and superintended Its conversion Into a cable road. Mayor Gllroy appointed him city engineer of the Park-avenua Improvement. His greatest work was the remodeling of the sewerage system of Mobile and New Orleans, which he fin ished two years ago. He reaves a widow, a son and a daughter, Mrs. R. E. Davis. He served In the United States Navy during the war. doing duty on the Sabine, Brooklyn, Adirondack and other vessels. He was a veteran of the Civil War, hav ing served under Admiral Farragut In the battle of Mobile. Over-aiwumptlon. Saturday Review.

He Holds That Pensions in Thin In stance Menns Paiaage of Other Long-standing; Bills. WASHINGTON. Feb. 25. The action of Speaker Henderson with regard to the Indian war veteran bill was not unexpect ed, at least by those who have been fa miliar with the course ot this piece of legislation In the past few sessions of Con. gress, and, indeed, there is little reason why his attitude as announced to the delegation of Oregon, Washington and Idaho Senators and Representatives, who" interviewed him, should have been a sur prise to anybody. The Speaker, as was announced in these dispatches some days ago. takes the position that he could not permit the passage of the Indian War pension bill without, with equally as much justice, permitting the passage of a number of other pension bills that are be ing and have for years been urged for passage. Special reference was made to the gen eral service pension bill, a measure which. If enacted, would place upon the pension rolls of the Government between 400,000 and 500,000 additional pensioners. It can not be denied that there is some little reason why this vast bill should be en acted, and when it comes to the matter of pressure for Its passage, this bill Is supported by practically ttie entire Grand Army of the United States. Of all pen sion bills now pending, this, perhaps, has more urgency behind it than any other. But this is not alone the only bill, aside from the Indian war bill, for which pres sure Is being brought to bear. It might not be amiss, at this time, to review some of these bills which have for years acted as a handicap to the Indian War veteran bill. The service pension bill is that intro duced by Representative Calderhead, of Kansas, and, as it stands on the House calendar today, reads as follows: "That all persons who are eligible for pensions at the rate of 512 per month un der section 2 of the act of. June 27, 1S90, relating to pensions, who are now or may hereafter become disabled by total blind ness or paralysis or any total disability for manual labor, not the result of their own vicious habits, which disables them in such a degree as to require the con stant or frequent and periodical aid and attendance of another person, and who are or may be without an actual net income not to exceed 5100 per year, exclusive of any pension, shall be entitled to a pension at the rate of $30 per month from the date of application therefor after the passage of this act." In view of the importance of this bill. It may also be well to quote from the committee's report, In explanation of the measure, from which extract, eome idea may be gained of the extent to which it goes. The report Is in substance as fol lows: "The purpose of the act is so manifest that It does not require explanation. It Is Intended to fix a rate of pensions for the class of men eligible to pension under the act of June 27, 1S90, who are so dis abled that they would be entitled to pen sions at the rate of 550 or of 572, under the general law, If they could establish the fact that their disabilities are of service origin. "The act of June 27, 1S90, was passed to give relief to such as could not prove the origin of their disabilities in the service or whose disabilities may have been in curred since their discharge; but it only gives 512 per month for total disability to earn a support by manual labor. "In the cases where the disability Is total blindness, or paralysis, or other dis ability so great as to require constant or frequent and periodical attendance of other persons, the sum of 512 per month Is not sufficient for necessary and humane care. It Is these cases that come to Con gress for relief by special acts. In this Congress more than 5300 bills for private pensions havo been Introduced in the House and about 2500 In trie Senate. Of these, about 700 of the House bills have passed the House, and about 500 of the Senate bills have passed the Senate and come to the House. The committee finds that nearly all the cases presented are of real merit, and are cases In which the existing laws do not furnish the relief which a sense of justice and humanity compels us to recognize. The large num ber of cases which cannot be reached and considered by Congress for want of time justifies us in this attempt to relieve them by a general law. "In the examination of these cases, the committee finds that a large percentage, amounting to almost one-Half of the cases presented, now are for the relief of per sons in the helpless condition described in this bill. The Pension Bureau can not enlarge the statutes In tnese cases, but must follow the requirements of the laws which were made, some of them 3S years ago; and these claimants can not now prove sufficiently the origin of their disa bility in the service. The conditions with total blindness, paralysis, and other total disabilities have overtaken them in their old age, and they are without means to secure the aid and attendance necessary. They can obtain only 512 per month under the act of June 27, 1S90. "The rate fixed In the bill of 530 per month seems to be reasonable for these cases. It will also establish uniformity of rate for these cases, which cannot be reached in any other way. "The committee Is unanimous in Bupport of the bill, and believe that It will relieve Congress of the consideration of nearly one-half of the cases now presented by private bills. The committee also believes that this measure will commend itself and will meet the approval of a generous na tion, and report the bill back with the , recommendation that It pass." ' Another bill, which occupies a place on MAKES WOMEN STRONG Iowa City, Iowa, Aug. 15, 1900. My wife wm sick for three years. We tried everything withont relief and spent mcaa money.

Those who lost both a hand and a foot are. under this bill, to receive 555 per month also. The committee estimates that the passage of this bill alone would swell the pension appropriations nearly 560.000 the first year, and committee estimates are generally more than conservative. No one will contend for a minute that the passage ot either or both of these bills would perhaps overstep the bounds of justice, nor would they assert that such action was more liberal than the circum stances would require. Yet the commit tee holds, and the Speaker evidently con curs In that view, that these measures are equally as meritorious as the Indian War veteran bill, and that to allow the pas sage of one would mean that all three, and others besides, should pass. He, as well as the House leaders, recognize that In a session such as this, where the ag gregate appropriations have already far exceeded any limit heretofore reached. It would be unwise to further swell the appropriations by passing these large pen sion bills. No one questions the Justice of the measures, and all will agree that the In dian War veterans performed a greater service for the United States than the Government can ever repay. The Speaker and the committee would like to extend this recognition to those old veterans, but, as Chairman Loudenslager said, time and again, he does not see how this can be done in justice to the hundreds of thou sands of other claimants, who are equally as deserving as the Indian War veterans of the North Pacific Coast. It is to be universally regretted that this bill cannot pass; but It falls for the reasons herein stated. DEMOCRATS TO BLAME. They Brought on Spanish War Ex penses Now Swell Appropriations. WASHINGTON. Feb. 21. While there are severe criticisms on the large appro priations of the present Congress, It might be well to point out that these great Increases In the last few years are due to the Spanish War and the responsi bilities which it brought to the United States. So far as the Spanish War Is con cerned, the facts are that it was brought on by the Democrats, then in the minor ity, in both houses, trying to put the Re publican Administration and the Republi can majority In a hole. Many Democrats thought that a foreign war would send this country to a silver basis, counting on the fact that the Civil War put the coun try on a paper basis. Those who aided In bringing on the Spanish War were the sensational newspapers, which Insisted that the Cubans were being so badly treated. The Administration and a large majority of the conservative Republicans in both House and Senate were against the Spanish War, but quite a number In each house lost their heads and threat ened to join the Democrats and bring on the war anyway. But It was under Dem ocratic leadership th'at the war was forced and the war feeling engendered In the United States. The country Is paying for It; the responsibility should be shared by the minority In the 55th Congress, and the Republicans who went over to them. Bill Anthony's Coolness. Richard Harding Davis in Everybody's Maga zine. "Bill" Anthony was one of the best ex amples that came out of the Spanish War of the man who can keep his head when others have lost theirs. His coolly Indif ferent announcement to Sigsbee that the Maine was sinking, either showed a soul disciplined to the condition of an automa ton, or a spirit which nothing could dis may. I once asked Captain Sigsbee If the popular verlon of Anthony's speech was correct. He said It was, but that An thony did not salute him, as was generally told, nor preface his speech with "I beg to report, sir." "We bumped Into each other In the dark," Sigsbee said, "and If he had saluted and spoken with that for mality, he would have been thinking of himself and of making an effect, and not of his duty. What he really said and did is better without any of the additions which came later." To keep the skin clean is to wash the excretions from it off; the skin takes care of itself inside, if not blocked outside. To wash it often and clean, without doing" any sort of violence to it, re quires a most gentle soap, a soap with no free al kali in it. Pears', the soap that clears but not excoriates.

There Is no oiner way. and the Idea that a medicine in itself can purify the blood or supply new tissues and strong nerves Is ridicu lous and on a par with the folderol that dyspepsia or indicestion !s a pp dis ease, or that other fallacy, that a weak stomach, which refuses to digest food, can De maae to ao so by irritating and in flaming the bowels by pills and cathartics. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets cure indiges tion, sour stomach, gas and bloating after meals, because they furnish the digestive principles which weak stomachs lack, and unless the deficiency of mr-sin nnd diastase Is supplied It is useless to attempt to cure stomach trouble by the use of "tonics" "pills" and "cathartics." which have absolutely no digesuve power, and their only effect Is to irive a ifmnnrarr stimulation. One grain of the active principle In Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will digest 3000 grains of meat, eggs and similar foods, and experiments have shown that they will do this in a glass bottle at proper temperature: but. of course, are much more effective in the stomach. There is probably no remedy so univer sally used as Stuart's Tablets, because It Is not only the sick and ailing, but well people who use them at every meal to in sure perfect digestion and assimilation of the food. People who enjoy fair health take Stu art's Tablets as regularly as they take their meals, because they want to keep well; prevention is always better than cure, and Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do both; they prevent indigestion and they remove It where It exists. The regular use of one or two of them after meals will demonstrate their merit and efficiency better than any other argument.
