A Purely Vegetable Blood

Cure.

If the people generally knew the
true cause of Rheumatism, there
would be no such thing as lini-

Rheumatism is disordered state

therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires real

Hilo IL Out Of Danger.


Honolulu, July 25. via San Francis
co. Aug. 2.-The latest reports from
the volcano of Mauna Loa, received to
day by way of Kalaieha, is to the
effect that great change took place
in the course of the lava flow on the
night of July Is. The mighty stream
of burning lava which was steadily
flowing toward the town of Hilo and
threatening it's destruction. has been
diverted in it's course so that the dang
er to life and property is less immi-
nent than at the time of the previous
mail advices from here. Ever since the
flow began, July 4, the course of the
stream of lava has been from the high
est active cones down to the mountain
nearly due east, past all the sources OF
lava till it reached and partly crossed
the flow of 1880. Then it turned
abruptly to the north IN the direction
of Kalaieha, on the side of Mauna Loa.
1t spread all over the side of the noun
tain, occupying an area almost mile
wide. This was the condition of things
up to the night of July 18.
Some time during that night the
first part of the stream, flowing east
ward, broke through its banks about
half way from its source, to where it
turned northward down the mountain
parallel with the old channel, but
further west. This is carrying the
lava less directly toward Hilo and
keeping it nearer the ridge which d.
vides from the slope off in the direction
of the Kohala coast.
The lava flow from Mauna Loa has
changed it's course and the city of Hilo
IS no longer in danger.

fact that only one new case appeared
today is encouraging to the officials
here, who are taking every measure to
prevent spread of the disease. They
feel that the fact that the affected To-
cality is. in the hands of the govern.
ment and under one management. will
be of great value in dealing with the
scourge, and enable better results to be
obtained than where epidemics broke
out in commercial places.

New York. Aug. Ex-Governor D.
M. Jones. of Arkanss, replying to a
query from the Times as to the cause
of lynohings in the South. said:
"ln my judgment, the so-called de-
lays in the administration of criminal
law so far as Ar kansas is concerned,
have not been the cause of the lynch
ing of any person accused OF crime.
The lynchings in this state have gen.
orally been in cases of rape and attempt
ed rape. and especially when the as
sault has been made by negro upon a
white woman. This crime is SO helm
GUS and revolving that all the laws in
the world, no matter how severe the
punishment or how speedy it's inf1ic-
ton, caunot in my judgment prevent
lynchings when the accused falls into
the hands of the enraged mob.

there is none except the cessation OF
the crime itself OF course this is to
be deplored because it is always best
that the law should be permitted to

dtions in this respect will not be i'm.

both sides will accept the decision, and
