SHIP GIVEN UP.
Bark Espada Now $50 Days Out of
Grays Harbor.

arrays 1dTpor.
Aberdeen, Wash.-The bark Espa-
da, $50 days out of Grays Harbor for
Adelaide, South Australia. is believed
to be lost with all hands.
The Espada cleared from Aberdeen
over the bar. That is the last heard
of her and as the normal passage
time on this run is 70 days, marin
ers believe there is no hope for the
craft.
The Espada was commanded by
Captain Inghart Jacobson, of Tacoma.
and was manned by ten men. Among
the passengers on the trip. which is
thought to have been fatal for all
on board. was Mrs. Jacobson. who
was formerly Miss Olga Anderson
of 2156 South NJ street. Tacoma.
The bark loaded at the Slade Mill
with a full cargo of lumber for the
Australia port. Unless she struck a
storm it is the belief of local sea
men that she ran aground, as il
would be almost impossible for a
ship to sink in midocean when filled
with lumber.
Reinsurance on the Espada has
gone up in the last few days and il
is now denied. Efforts have beer
begun to trace the missing vessel.

MUNYON'S WORK

Big Success Shown by Number
of Callers.
Local Man Tells San Francisco Head
quarters of Remarkable Relief
From rheumatism.

The apparent success which Profes.
sor James M. Munyon, the world
famous health authority, has been
meeting in San Francisco has started
much discussion. The continuous
stream of callers has kept DIR. Mum
yon's expert representatives busy
every day for several weeks at the
main store Of the Owl Drug company,
San Francisco. where he has estab-
Iished headquarters for meeting the
people.
Munyon's following seems to be
enormous. Those who believe in his
theories seem to think he possesses the
most marvellous powers for the heal
ing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon,
himsef, laughs at this. He says ::
1.-THE hundreds of cures which you
are hearing about every day in San
Francisco are not in any way due to
my personal skill. 1t is my remedies,
which represent the combined brains
of the greatest medical specialists
science has ever known, that is doing
the work. have paid thousands of
dollars for a single formula and the
exclusive right to manufacture it.
have paid tens of thousands of dollars
for others of my various forms OF
treatment. That is why I get such
remarkable results. / have simply
bought the best products of the best
brains in the world and placed thi.
knowledge within the reach of ths
general public"
Among Munyon's callers yesterday
were many who were enthusiastic il
their praise of the man. Ore of these
said: "For six years | suffered from
rheumatism. My arms and legs were
afflicted so badly that l could hardly
work, and could not raise my arm t
my head. The pain was most sever,
in the back, however, and l was il
perfect torture. | tried in many
ways to get cured, or even to secure
temporary relief, but nothing SCENE,
to help me until l was persuaded b.
friend to try Munyon's Uric Aci'
course. 1t was the most marvelouslN
acting remedy l ever saw, within
week the pain had most gone and in
side of a month / considered mysel
entirely cured. l can now go out il
the worst weather-cold, or wet o
anything else, and have not felt an
suspicion of return of the disease.
