IN NO DANGER OF BREAK-UP Tnalile to K?ei OIT Shore or Find Tub, Cnptaln Tries to Snll In. but Is Snciit on l)ttr-Tn(t "Will Pall Her Off at High Tide. ASTORIA, Or.. Feb. 10. (SpeciaU-The German bark Aisternixie. 202 tons, the largest sailing vessel that ever entered the Columbia, is ashore at the mouth of the river, between Peacock and Republic spits. The VfGsel. which is under charter to the Pacific Export Lumber Company to carry a cargo of piling to China, sailed from San Francisco for this port five days ago. She had a fair wind all the way up the coast, and arrived off the mouth of the river yesterday afternoon. Before leaving San Francisco Captain Richard Auhaeen purchased a chart of the mouth of the Columbia River. With a fair wind and his chart to guide him. he headed In through the south channel and crosstd the bar In safety, taking on only a few seas. His troubles then com menced, as he failed to head his vessel in. and poon ran onto PeacocU spit. The bark drove clear across the spit, cutting n channel as it went, and reached deep water on the other side. If the anchor had then been dropped, the vessel would have been safe, but she kept going until ehe struck about SO) yards west of the Great Republic spit, off the lower end of Sand Island. This happened between 1 and 5 o'clock last evening. The lookouts at North Head ond Fort Canby saw the position of the vessel, but could get no word to this city, as the telephone wire was down, and it was not until rockets were sent up. end the fact reported by the lookout at Point Adams that assistance was summoned from here. The tugs Tatoosh and Wallula and the llghthouie-ttndcr Columbine hurried down, ricking up the llfesaving crews from Point Adams and Cape Disappointment as they went, and during the night the North Beach crew responded with its boat, which was loaded on a car and brought to II waco, where it was launched. Owing to the heavy seas the steamers could not approach nearer than a half-mile of the bark, but the llfesaving crews, at the risk of their lives, battled their way through the surf and brought the greater portion of the crew of 22 men to the tugs. Later on. when It was evident the bark was In no danger of breaking up, the captain and all but 10 of the crew were put on board Again. The courage displayed by the members of the llfesaving crews was ex ceptional, and although they were washed out of their boats, the crafts capsized several times, and the men almost ex hausted by their exertions, they never faltered. The Aisternixie was then and is now In an upright position, almost high and dry at low water, and resting on a sandy bot tom, although at high tide there Is a heavy line of breakers clear around her. She is uninjured, and free from water, so her master said, though the sailors assert that she has IS Inches of water in her hold; but. considering the circumstances, she Is practically undamaged. The tugs stood by the vessel until noon today, when they returned, but were unable, to get a line on board of her. That the bark can be rescued appears very probable, and ar rangements are being made this afternoon to place a kedge anchor in the ship's chan nel and kedge her off in a manner similar to that used lr. rescuing the bark Poltol loch at Shoalwater Bay two years ago. The weather moderated considerably to day, and If it continues the work of res cue will be commenced at high tide to morrow. Ten members of the crew, who were taken off the bark, refused to return and were brought to this city this afternoon. the captain and the remainder of the crew remaining on board. They say that. when Captain Auhagen decided to sail his vessel In, the other officers protested, hut Insisted that with a fair wind and the Assistance of his chart, there was no dancer. Captain Auhaeen came ashore this even ing, and will rtrnaln until morning, when he will return to his vessel. In speaking of the disaster, he said: "We sailed from San Francisco at E P. II. on last Thursday. The first day out we encountered light westerly winds, which constantly Increased until on Sun day it was blowing a gale. Yesterday the weather was thick and hary with a heavy cale. About 1 P. II. we sighted Tillamook rock, and at' 2:30 passed the Jlghtshlp. about eight miles off. I was looking for a tug and a pilot, but found none, and have since learned none were outside. The bark was light, drawing only U feet, and made so much leeway that it was lmpossime to Keep ner on fihore. "The only thing to be done, under the circumstances, in order to save the vessel and crew, was to, sail her in. "We cam a ncross the bar In good shape, and were headine for the letty. hut the strong cur rent :and the leeway of the ship set her to the north'ard, where she struck. She Is resting easily. Is uninjured, ond I expect to be able to float her In a few days by putting out kedge anchors and removing a portion of foer ballast. Vcaael Lies Hlsh and Dry. ASTORIA. Or.. Feb. 10. The German hark Aisternixie, which went ashore last night. Is lying high and dry on Republic spit, within the harbor, vapiain Aucna hnrtr savs he did not los his bearings, but that he was compelled to run his vessel head-on In order to prevent a dis aster that would have resulted in loss of -the lives of those aboard. It Is possible the vessel can be kedged back Into deep water. All the men are in this city. IX NO IMMEDIATE DANGER.

S. McCnllum In a very appropriate manner, being not too lengthy, yet full of feeling. The attendance of citizens was remark ably general. Although the church Is the largest In the city. Its cipacity was not adequate to hold half the people who de sired to attend, and the sidewalks about the church were tilled. As a mark of the esteem to which With ers was held as a citizen, all the stores and business houses joined in a general movement ond kept closed doors from 1 until 4 o'clock.

WISHES HE HADXT SHOT. 3Inrderer of Sheriff Withers Maltes a Statement. - EUGENE, Or., Feb. 10. (Special.) Elliot Lyons, the murderer of herlft Withers, today gave out the following: ' "I admit killing Billy. I shot him and am caught. I would not have given my self up voluntarily, yet would not have killed another man to make my escape. "I do not remember what I did with my pistols. I decided that It was all up when I crossed the Long Tom. and was so wet and tired I did not care what hap pened to me then. I think it was out there by Cook's I lost my pistol and did not care enough about anything to look for It. I have been unarmed for three daya. "I ate breakfast Sunday .morning with a German family named Groupp and dried out good. Then I went to a fit raw stack in the field about a. hundred yards away where I slept until 5 o'clock. I accidentally set the stack afire burning straw to get ashes to black my face. T left the straw pile about 5:30 and walked toward Irving when it was dark. I circled around Irving and then hit the track again and came to Eugene. I was held up about a mile from Eugene by two men, but being unarmed they did not want ma. "I did not stop at any house In Eugene, but circled around that hill, and after the train went south I went up the track. My leg hurt me badly and I would stop and root every few hundred yards. I got out near Goshen and slept awhile In a pile of ties. Pretty soon I got up and went on to CresweU. "I don't know why I went into Cres weU in the daytime. I did not care what became of me, and I don't now." Asked why he shot Withers, he said: "I told him I would not go with him, and wanted to be stubborn. I gures. My wife commenced to plead for me and I saw a email chance to get away. Billy did not have his gun pulled so I thought I would hold him up and force him to let go. He held me by the coat and I had my gun In my pocket. I Just pointed It at him from my side when I saw the chance and fired. I wish I had not right away, but ran as fast as I could.' GLAD THERE WAS XO LYNCHING. People of Engene Kept a Blot From City's Fair Name. EUGENE. Or.. Feb. 10. (Special.) The general expression on the streets this morning Is one of a tone of self-congratulation that the good name of the com munity was not destroyed last night by any acts of lawlessness or violence look In? toward dealing out summary punish ment to E. E. Lyons, who is in jail for the murder of Sheriff Withers. All yesterday afternoon and well up Into the night there was manifest an un dercurrent which to some extent boded 111 "1 for tbe welfare of the prisoner. This iru sufficient to put the officers on their guard to be ready to repel any movement that might be attempted. Quite a force of dep uty sheriffs were kept on duty about the Jail, and. In addition, the Mayor author ized the employment of a large force of special police to keep order. Besides this, the cool-minded citizens took It upon themselves to be about, and If any remark of an Incendiary or excit ing nature was heard, to counsel modera tion and patience, and not allow the dis grace of a lynching to blot the fair name of the community. As a result, there was the stillness of death about the city, al though many men could be seen about the streets until a late hour. There was an apparent feeling of suppression or appre hension that must have been noticeable even to strangers, but not a move toward the least lawlessness. A DARING HORSETIIIEF.

The owner then started out In the direction whence the horse came, and found where others of the missing horses had been fTCttWBH. disposed of. A recent purchaser described the person from whom he had bought his horses, and by. this means the deed was traoed to Lyons. The guilty man was arrested In Dc-f eember by Constable Dave Crougmlller. at Central Point. While on the road to Jacksonville the prisoner rexched over. graoDea tne lines and suddenly cramped the buggy.

The Housj today voted to appro priate 13000 for a Summer normal school at Newport. A lively debate preceded passage of the measure, ine cnici argu ment In opposition was that the state has enough and too many normal schools already. The reply was that the normal school proposed was not to do work like that of the four other schools or tne mate; that the school was to instruct teachers and not to prepare persons to teach; and that the measure was Intended to im prove teachers during the Summer vaca tion season. The vote for the bill was 77 to 17. The vote was: Teas Bailey. Banks, Blaklcy. Both, Burrcss. Burlelch. Cantrall. Carna- han, Danneman, Davey, Emraltt, Glnn, Hahn. Hansbrough. Hawkins, Jiayuen.

He said the people of New port had donated property for the school worth $5000. Mr. Kay declared the state had too many no-mal schools already. "The peo ple of this, fitate," -said he, "demand that wo call a halt on this normal school busi ness. No member of this body can afford to go back to his constituents having voted for this bill." Mr. Hume spoke for the bill, saying that the coast counties had received lit tle or nothing from the Legislature In the way of appropriations. Mr. Malarkey favored the bill, argu ing that the objection to more normal schools did not apply to the present ques tion. Mr. Nottingham said he would vote for the bill "right gladly." because dollars should not be spared to Improve the teachers. He did not favor more normal schools, but did not think the bill was open to the objection against more normal schools. Mr. Davey urged passage of the bill. Mr. Hale, Mr. Purdy and Mr. Gault op posed It. The bill then passed. The measure provides that the 5000 shall be expended by a commission, to be com posed of seven persons, three of whom aro to bo named by the Governor.

No matter how much corn ' falls, on a bare rock, it wont grow there. Neither will con sumption germs grow in per fectly healthy lunga But if the lungs become weak and inflamed they are good soil for consumption germs, and if these enter they may take root and grow. There is no medicine that will directly weed them out The thing to do is to make the lungs so healthy that the germs will have to stop grow ing because there is nothing for them to thrive on. The lungs must be nour ished with plenty of good blood, kept pure by breath ing pure air There must be more sleep; less work and worry. Perhaps some medi cine. The doctor mil know. The most important thing is nourishment When the body is weakened by con sumption, the digestive pow ers cannot obtain from ordi dinary food enough of the elements needed to make good blood. The lack is best supplied by the use of Scott's Emulsion. It is extremely rich in the substances which make good blood, and it also helps the digestion to obtain nourishment from ordinary food. .Scott's Emulsion is a food medicine; not a stimulant; not a mere "extract? or so called "wine" of cod liver oil. It contains the whole oil per fectly emulsified, which is the only way of preserving its valuable properties. These are united with hypophos phites of lime and soda into a combination which rapidly builds healty tissue through out the whole body, and par ticularly in the lungs.
