BOLT STRIKES MAIN TOWER Partially Destroys Structure and Stuns Men No Hope of Floating Ill-fat el Schooner Howe. The Manaanlta, Captain Byrne, re turned to port yesterday from an ex tended visit to Alaskan waters. On the way down the Manaanlta touched at Destruction island, where, on Wednes day afternoon, for the first time !n the history of this station, all three ten ders stationed at Astoria happened to be at the same time. The Columbine and Heather met the Manzanlta at the Island purely by chance, and, after fin exchange of courtesies, proceeded on their respective journeys. Men returning on the Manaanlta re port that the Destruction Island light house was almost wiped out of exist ence on Monday last, "when a" Violent electric storm prevailed along the north Pacific coast. The storm seemed to have centered directly over the Island, and a bolt of lightning that flashed out of the black sky struck the main tower and partially demolished it. So severe was the shock that all of the men at the station were affected and stunned for a moment. The damige to the building was not great and repairs have been made so as to enable the keeper to operate the light. The statement was made yesterday that the electric' storm which naused the damage at Destruction Island was by far the worst which ever ragd in the northwest, and that more damage was not entailed Is regarded as sin- j Kularly fortunate. It is seldom that western lightning results in damage, and the experience of the men on De struction island was a rare one. swung her Into scow, damaging the rudder. ' She la to be plaod on the wuyt here' for reia!r. The damage resulted In much incm-en!eme to the men aboard, and it was with difficulty the tug was nauKuted. Marine Notes. The schooner Coats was towed up the river yesterday. The steamer Charts Nelson arrived down the river yesterday and depjii ted for San Francisco. The schooner Repent arrived down the river yesterday and Is ready for sea with a lumber cargo. She goes to San Francisco. The barometer took a downward Bhoot lust night and at ?S o'clock reg istered 29.20. Storm warnings were displayed last night it the ivouth of the Columbia river. On account of the soverlty of the weather yesterday, it was Impossible to visit the wreck of the schooner Howe, with the result that an accurate statement as to her condition could not be obtained. The reported arrival of the schooner W. F. Onrms late Wednesday night proved erroneous. The vessel which made port was the A. F. Coats, an other four-master. The Harms was driven to the north by the jrale and has not been sighted since the day the tug made an unsuccessful attempt to tow her into the harbor.

Two of the cargoes those of the Re peat and Viking go to San Frantlnco, jind the other, that of the CUarles Nel son, to San Pedro. Lumber shipments wars brisk during the first two weeks of February, when almost 10,000,000 feet of lumber was shipped Out of the Columbia. The third TWfc saw a slight slump, and the present week has beon rather a slow one thus far. However, It Is expected three or four other lumber carriers will finish In time to clear this week, and that the aggregate for the month will reach 15,000,000 feet.

George Moss, Jr., mate of the ill fated schooner Frank W, Howe, come over last evening from the scene of the wreck to attend to Some business mat ters, and will return to North l.tach this morning. The mate says the back of the schooner has been broken, but that her rudder alone has thus far been carried away by the waves. He confirms the statement that the masts are working loose, and expresses the conviction that the schooner will be broken up within a short time. Mr. Moss said last evening that It was absurd to think of saving the schooner, the position of which leaves no hope of ever getting her Into deep water. A storm came up last night and this will doubtless make short work of the Howe. Since the wreck occurred the weather has been comparatively quiet, and for this reason the schooner has remained intact. Accident to Flyer. The little tug Flyer was almost put out of commission yesterday while at Knappton. The Flyer Is owned by the Astoria Lumber Company ami has been engaged In towing log rafts. Yes terday morning, as he was backing InVO Knappton wharf to take on a load of firewood, a, wave struck her and 80 SOOTHING. Its Influence Hts Been Felt By to Many Astoria Reader.

Doan's Ointment has soothed hun dreds. - Here's what one man says: ' R.' B. "Ldhg, ' harness maker, em ployed with John Clark & Son. 104 Front street, Portland, who resides at 348 Second street, same city, says: "Early last summer I broke out all over my body with eczema tetter or Itch. I did not know Just what it was nor what caused its appearance, but I do know that the torture I endured was something fierce. I was very much alarmed about It, was anxious to know what it was and what caused It." thought the best thing to do was to go to a doctor for treatment. 1 did so and was treated by different ones, but they failed to do me any good. When I became the least bit overheated I just fairly clawed the skin off me Anyone who has never had anything of the kind knows nothing at all about it. I was in bad shape when I noticed an advertisement in our paper about Doans Ointment being a sure cure for such afflictions. I said to myself there's another fake, but B'll try it. It proved to be all that Is claimed for it. Less than two boxes made a complete cure In my case. About this time my younger brother was taken with the same affliction. A box and a half of Doan's Ointment cured him. I know what I am talking about when I say that Doan's Ointment is one remedy which can be depended upon."
