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. An effort will be
made at once by the Pacific Mall Steam
ship Company to recover the bodies and
raise the steamer. Charles E. "Ward, a
brother of the unfortunate master of the
IUq arrived here today from Denver to
assist In the search for the remains of his
brother.

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.

AN INDIANA LYNCHING
"WARD, THE NEGRO MURDERER,
HANGED BY A MOB.
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.

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

INDIAN VETERANS' CASE
HENDERSON DOES NOT CONSIDER
IT ONE "WITHOUT MERIT.
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."

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. Last winter I read one of your almanacs. My wife tried the Wine of Cardnl and
fonr bottles cured her. She attended to all her honaehold duties and loaded and unload
ed hay. This medicine rare her strength. Formerly she wai weak and could hardly get
about but since fihoiasbeea taking wine of Cardui she feels stronger than when she was

Now after taking the Wine she can work with her husband in the hay field. That
is hard work, but it k not as injurious to a woman's health as labor in stores, fac

With the aid of Wine of Cardui a woman can do any reasonable work and wiioy

H.e
the union calendar, is, that of Representa
tive Young, of Pennsylvania, which pro
vides a pension of 540 per month to all
soldiers or sailors who lost a hand or
foot, while in the service, a pension of
515 per month to those who lost an arm
at or above the elbow, or a leg at or
above the knee, and 555 per month for
those who lost an arm at the shoulder or
a leg at the hip, so as to prevent the use
of an artificial limb. 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."

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.
