A POSSIBLE CLUE
To Missing Ship Arthur Sewall In
Wreck In Mid-Pacific.

New York, May 24.-Cast away on
a desert island in mid-Paci1ic, sub
Sitting upon whatever they can pick
up from the sea and the scanty land
around them, and waiting for help to
come, the crew Of the ship Arthur
Sewall is supposed to be leading the
lives of modern Robinson Crusoes.
News of the supposed plight OF the 80
members of the crew of the SeWall'
which has been posted as missing at
Lloyds and by the insurance compa-
nies here, reached the Maritime EX-
change Saturday in a report from
Capt. Hill, master of the British
steamship Hampstead, which recently
arrived at Sydney, N. S. w, from the
Hawaiian islands.
Capt Hill states that upon passing
Middleton reef the latter part OF
April he saw a lead-painted ship Of
about $500 tons high and dry on the
north side of the reef whit sails care
fully slowed along the yards. The ves-
sci was undoubtedly American. ac-
cording to the master Of the Hemp
stead. who, however, was ont aware
at that time that the Arthur Sewall
was overdue. Hence his failure to stop
and learn details of the fate of the
crew.
The news brought by the Hampstead
is so convincing that Arthur Sewall d
Co. Of Bath, Me, the owners of the
ship. have taken steps to learn
whether the stranded ship is the Sew
all and how many of her crew are ma
rooned on the little Pacific reeef.

A BALKY ENGINE
Causes Failure of knaoenshue's Air
Ship Cruise Over Toledo, Ohio.

Toledo, May 24-Roy Knabenshue's
expected flight over the city in his
passenger airship ended ingloriously at
the Ball park Saturday afternoon.
With the ship some 1000 feet in the air
the engine stopped abruptly, and
Knabenshue LETT his basket and made
desperate effort to start the engine.
The engine refused to respond, how
ever, and the craft, with its three
passengers, settled slowly at first and
tnen more rapidly. Knabenshue threw
ont the drag ropes and dropped every
particle of ballast, but only impeded
slightly the downward progress.
AS the balloon neared the right
field bleachers Knabenshue crawled
back into the basket, and his assist
ants, Hess and Hamilton, also got in
tc their baskets. The fans" sitting on
the bleachers made room for the bal
loon, and as it settled they seized the
drag ropes. The aeronauts, however,
made 10 effort to leave the ship. They
maintained their places until the bas-
kcts touched the bleachers. Then
they dropped, but too late to save the
frame work, which settled directly
across the fence and was broken in
half.
Next week Knabenshue Will try to
break the worlds record for long dis
tarce, when he will attempt to fly
from Toledo to Cleveland, a distance
of 112 miles. Three passengers will go
with him, one being a government Off

PRIEST STABBED
BY Demented Man While in Church At
Salisbury, Mo.

Salisbury, Mo, May 24.-1n the
presence of 400 worshippers, Father
Joseph F. Luberly, aged 33 years, pas
tor of St. Josephs Catholic church, was
stabbed twice with pocket knife and
perhaps fatally injured in church to-
day by Joseph Schuette, a farmer, who
is believed to have become suddenly
demented. A panic was narrowly
averted among the communicates,
many of them women.
Immediately after Father Lumberley
had finished his mass today he started
to leave the church at the door Schu-
cite rushed upon the priest from be-
hind and stabbing him twice, bore the
pastor to the floor. The first blow
struck the priest in the temple and the
second cut a deep cash in the neck,
just missing the jugular vein.
The craZed man was about to stab
the priest third time when Mrs. Bar
bara Ginter and John Gates. both par
ishioners, caught his uplifted hand. In
the struggle which followed Schuette
stabbed Mrs. Ginter in the hand and
inflicted a painful cut on Gates arm.
A dozen men then overpowered Schu-
cite. who, struggling and fighting, was
taken to the Jail.

FLY TO PIECES
The Effect of Coffee on Highly Organ
ICED People.

Il have been coffee user for years
and about two years ago got into a
very serious condition of dyspepsia and
indigestion. 1t seemed to me 1 would
fly to pieces. l was so nervous that
many times could not straighten my
self up because of the pain.
MY physician told me I must not
sat any heavy or strong food and
ordered diet. giving me some medi-
cine. | followed directions carefully
but kept on using coffee and did not
get any better. Last winter my hus-
band. who was away on business. had
Postum Food Coffee served to him in
the family where he boarded.
He liked it so well ,that when he
came home he brought some with him.
We began using it and l found it most
excellent. While l drank it my stom-
ach never bothered me in the least,
and l got over my nervous troubles.
When the Postum was all gone we re-
turned to coffee. then my stomach be-
gan to hurt me as before and the ner-
vous conditions came on again.
THAT showed me exactly what was
the cause of the whole trouble, so
quit drinking coffee altogether and
kept on using Postum. The old
troubles left again and / have never
had any trouble since" There's a
