THE MORNING OEEGONIAN. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 28, 1903. BODY IS UNEARTHED Evidence of Horrible Crime at Pomeroy. WOMAN CHARGED WITH DEED Jlenrr Lartiirne DUapprored Last September-Hi. BO-Year-Old Wife Snupected of Having Murdered HUn TiUe of Other Crime. SPOKANE. "Wash., Feb. 27. (Special.) The culminating link In the chain of evi dence of a horrible crime was unearthed near Pomeroy. "Wash., this afternoon, when the body of Henry Lartigue. who has been missing since September last, was found In a hole In hl own dooryard, on his ranch 12 miles north of Pomeroy on Dead Man Creek. Hto wife. 0 years of age. Is charged with the murder. Sixteen years ago Newton Estes, an old settler, died at his Oregon ranch a few minutes after eating dinner under circumstances pointing to foul play. Be fore six months elapsed Estes' widow mar ried Henry Lartigue. ranch foreman of her late husband. 20 years her senior. A few years later. Jasper Miller, a neighbor, was Wiled in a quarrel with Charles Estes- a ton of the then Mrs. Lartigue. Este and Lartigue were Implicated, but Esttf alone was tried and acquitted on the lea of self-defense. The eon soon after left. After many violent quarrels Lartigue announced his Intention of sep aration from hl wire and of leaving the country for good. Lartigue was last seen alive in Septem ber last at Gold City, where he made an appointment with Dee Toung to go stock hunting the next day. That night he went back to the ranch. The next day Young looked In vain for Lartigue. A detective was put on the case In the guise of a land hunter, who shadowed all movements at the homestead. One day Mrs. &tes was lured to Pomeroy and the house searched In her absence, disclosing the presence of Lartlguo'8 undcrclothtntj. revolver and rifle and other belongings, which he would naturally have taken with him. Inch by Inch the coll of circumstances tightened about the suspected woman. This morning the officers went to the ranch and accused Mrs. Lartigue openly of the crime and brought her to town, leaving Deputy Sheriff Hawkins on the place. This officer began one more search for the body, and within three hours after their departure found It burled In a hole not 40 feet from the house door, with the saddle that the dead man Intended to ride away on, crowded on top of It. No time has yet been had to make an ex amination of the remains to discover the manner of the death, whether by an In strument or poison. The accused woman when Informed of the discovery of the body vehemently maintains that she knows nothing what ever about It. Two theories are held of the crime. One Is that Lartigue and wife and Charles Estes are all three connected with the sudden and suspicious death of Newton Estes and the murder of Jasper Mills In such an Intimate relation that It would be extremely perilous to allow Lartigue to get beyond their control where these dark secrets might be divulged. The other theory Is that Lartigue had been robbing his wife of her property and went back to the place for the purpose of getting hold of more of It. but that the woman was madly Infatuated with him and In tho mingled passion -of hate and love she committed the deed. DIRECT PRIMARY LAW. Measure to Promote Political Parity Passes Washington Legislature. OLYMPIA, Feb. 27. (Staff correspond ence.) The Jones bill providing for a direct primary law for the State of Wash ington passed the House this afternoon with a safe majority, despite the fact that over 20 of the members were absent. The author spoke for nearly half an hour in favor of the bill, quoting everything from Kipling to the Bible in support of it. While he was laying particular stress on the fact that this law had purified politics In numerous Eastern States, notably Min nesota, Easterday asked him if Mayor Ames, of Minneapolis, had been elected under this law. Mr. Jones admitted that he. might have been. Easterday then asked If It was nt a fact that Ames had been elected first, as a Republican, then as a Democrat and again as a Republl can, all under the working of this pri roary law. This gave Martin Maloney an opening and with becoming gravity he asked If his Republican friends would not concede that Ames gave an honest administration when be was elected by the Democrats. The answer was lost in the applause that greeted the happy thought of the Stevens County statesman. While the bill did not appeal very strongly to the politicians In the House, none of them had very much to say against It, and It went through by a vote of El to 22.

Wash.. Feb. 27. fSnedal The Attorney-General todav hanriMt a decision relative to the constitutional ity of the Warburton Tax Commission MIL With the excepUon of the provision regarding the certifying of corporate val uations by the Tax Commission proposed, the bill is not supposed to be In conflict with the constitution. The Attorney-General quotes section 2. article 7. of the state constitution, which requires that the Legislature shall "provide by law a uni form and equal rate of taxation on all property In the state, according to its value in money, and shall prescribe such regulations by general law as shall secure a Just valuation of taxation of all prop erty, so that every person or corporation shall pay a tax in proportion to the value of his. her or Its property. He further quotes section t of the same article, the one with which the bill was supposed to bo in conflict: "The Legisla ture shall provide by general law for the assessment and levying of taxes on all corporation property as near as may be by the same methods as are provided for the assessing and levying of taxes on indi vidual property." That the above provision Is unlqua Is shown by the fact, which the Attorney- General states, that It appears In no other state constitution. CONFER OX PILOTAGE RATI:. Committee Friim Orcgan Leclnlnture at Olynipln. OLYMPIA Feb. 27. (Special.) A com mittee, appointed by the Legislature of Oregon was In Olympla today conrernng with members of the Washington Legis lature In reference to uniform pilotage laws on the Columbia River. The Washington Legislature has not ap pointed a pilotage committee, so the'Inter- ests of this state were represented In the conference held tonight by the committee lately appointed to confer with the Oregon committee on fisheries. There was nothing accomplished by the conference. It was decided as the Oregon Legislature had adjourned and the Wash ington session was so near its close, that It was useless to attempt any reforms In any particular. As In the fisheries discussion the Wash ington committee was unwilling to rec ommend any changes In the Washington laws. The principal subject under dis cussion was the dlfferenco In towage rates In Washington nnd Oregon. Chairman Charles G. Payne, of the Washington State Board of Pilot Commissioners, ap peared before the committees and recom mended that Washington maKC no change. The suggestion was made that Oregon s rates, which are slightly lower than Washington's, be raised to correspond with the latter, but no resolution was adopted. The members of the Oregon Legislature hero are Senator W. Tyler Smith, Repre sentatives C W. Carnahan. G. L. Haw kins and Clerk B. H. Welch. The cqm mlttee will leave tomorrow on a tour of Puget Sound. DOUGLAS 3IIXTO INJURED. Strikes Head Airalnst Rarn "Willie Trying to Hold Coir. SALEM, Or., Feb. 27.

Great Country Will Be Opened Up Which Will Provide Farms for Thousands of Settlers. Prelects arc now on foot for the build ing of three transcontinental railroads throuch Canada within the next five years." said Mike King, of Victoria. B. O. when seen last night at tne roniana Mo tel. Mr. King Is largely Interested In the development of British Columbia, and Is well informed as to the progress of the plans. In some of the projects he Is di rectly interested. The three roads he speaks of are the McKenzlc & Mann. Grand Trunk Pacific and Trans-Canadian. All three will start from Fort Simpson and end at Quebec. The McKenzie & Mann road will come In at the Butte Inlet and connect at the north end of Vancou ver Island with the Esqulmalt & Nanalmo. which will run a terminal branch to v Ic- torla. Mr. King Is accompanied by W. G. Tanner, and both men are enthusiastic over the future outlook of the Canadian country. "At the present time." said Mr. King. "a stretch of country for fully 2000 miles north of the Canadian Pacific has never been explored to any extent." "Fine country?" and he gazed at his companion. Mr. Tanner, as If he was greatly surprised that such a question could be asked. hy, I tell you, it can't be beat Blue Joint grass grows so high that when you nlo through It on horseback It comes up to your shoulders. And It makes fine feed for stock. The Indians never feed their ponies anything else, nnd they come out In the Winter rolling In fat. And as for farming." he continued. "It will be a great farming country. In places where homesteads have been taken up the wheat yields are enormous. I tell you. as toon as the railroads start to build there will be a great rush for that country. And there will be some fortunes made there, too." Any mines In that country?" he was asked. "The country has not been developed to any extent," he answered, "but some of the finest quartz Is found there that I have ever seen. Every stream In the mountains will pay placer miners. With a goldpan and a shovel a man can make from t3 to $3 per day." Mr. King will be In Portland for two days longer, and will then go to Vic toria. He expects to bo at home about three weeks, and will then start north Into the country In which he Is so greatly Interested. Mr. King has many Interesting stories to tell of the experiences he has had with the Indians In exploring the northern countries. The Indians are very superstitious." said he. "and I have found that thev can be handled through their superstitious fears as well as In any other way. We often have to employ Indians to pack for us. As soon as It gets a little warm they become very lazy and say that they are sick. Some employes abuse them to get them to work, but I have found that their superstitions are. a stronger weapon than any aou?e. i remember a trip last Sum mer. An old Indian refused to go on. so I sat down and pretended to be as tired as he was. I didn't sit there very long until I began to look Into the air with an eager expression and then listen as If I heard something. In a moment I looked behind me as if I heard some one coming up be hind. The Indian became very much con cerned, and wanted to know what the trouble was. 1 Well I replied, appearing to be verv much excited. 'I hear voices. This Is the piace wnere two great brave fought a battle and killed each other. They do not like for us to be here, and their spirits are saying that they will kill us. "As I said this." laughed Mr. Klnir "t seized my bundle, threw It on my shoul der and started out at my briskest You would have died laughing to have seen that Indian. My fastest pace was none too last lor him, and he did not get sick again all day. He declared that he could hear the voices plainly as soon ns I called his attention to It, nnd could hear mem loiiowing him the rest of the day.' FIRST IN OREGON.

Senator Aldrlch has been very actlvi among Democratic Senators, who are In cllned to oppose the MIL He has not yet got them all corralled, for he did not call up the bill. The Introduction of th mn. ure In the House also Indicates a very general arrangement to rush It through if possible. The argument Is made that this will be an especially valuable bill for the South and west, and that the big bankers li New York did not want It. There 1: something of a mystery about this meas ure, which has not yet been cleared up. Although Governor Taft is urging Phil lpplne legislation, and is seconded Secretary Root and by the President the Dcet-sugar interests are strong enough t to hold it .up and prevent Its passage.

Trial JCext Week Claim Made That Armstrong and His Victim Planned Suicide. BAKER CITY, Or., Feb. 27. (Special.) Pleas Armstrong, who is charged with the muxdor of Minnie Ens mlnger near Haines, this county, last Christmas morning, waB arraigned in the Circuit Court here this morning, on an In dictment by the grand Jury charging him with murder In the first degree. He en tered a plea of not guilty, and the case was set for trial tomorrow at 1:30 o'clock. A slight defect was discovered In. the in dictment yesterday, and the Judge sent It back to the grand Jury for correction. It was dated 1302, Instead of 1S03. When Armstrong was arraigned this morning his attorney moved to set the In dictment aside, on the ground that It had not been rerlled after It was withdrawn by order of the court yesterday. The doc ument was filed 'properly, and Armstrong was rearralgned. While the Armstrong trial Is set for hearing tomorrow. It is not expected that the case will come on for trial until some time next week. It will doubtless take several days to secure a Jury, as the case Is such a noted one that most every cit izen In the county who heard of the mur der has an opinion as to the guilt or in nocence of the defendant. At the time of the murder the feeling was so strong against the defendant that he would have been lynched had not the officers of the law exercised extraordinary care to pre vent It. The defendant appears calm and cool, and his attorneys Insist that he will never be convicted of murder In the first de gree. One or two matters of a sensa tional character have been hinted at In connection with the trial, sold to be rev elations as to facts and circumstances that will favor the defendant.

NORTON DAVIS "Weakness" The disorder commonly known as "weakness" has for years and gen erations baffled the efforts of phy sicians, yet to this day a majority of doctors (specialists not excepted) are attempting to overcome It by methods that have been In constant use. and have constantly failed for half a century. They dose the sys tem with powerful stimulants and tonics, calculated to restore nervous force or strength that is not and never has been lacking, with a re sult that the functions are tempo rarily excited, to the positive detri ment of the patient. "Weakness" we will call It thus for conveni ence Just now Is only a symptom resulting from a chronically In flamed and swollen prostate .gland, and Is curable by combined local treatment only. Either early dissi pation or some improperly treated contracted disorder Is responsible for the Inflammation In most In stances, though accidental Injury, strain, etc.1, may produce the same result. We have permanently cured thousands of cases ot premature ness, loss of power etc. which demonstrates the absolute accu racy of our understanding the treat ment of this disorder, in years we have not met with a single caso of failure.
