The blood may be in bad condition,

symptoms in such cases being a variable

weakness and nervousness, loss of flesh
and a general rundown condition of the

lost its nutritive qualities, has become thin

OIL CONGREGATION
ELECTRIC STORM CAUSED
DISASTER.
Wells Being Covered With Mud to Pre-
vent Destruction-Much Disaster
Predicted.

JENNINGS, LAD, July 15.-During
heavy electrical storm that passed
Over the Jennings oil field today bolt
of lightning struck the field storage
tanks of the Jennings Oil Company,
setting them on fire. The flames spread
! to the derricks of the company adjoin-
ing and in a short time the derricks and
| tanks We're destroyed. Burning streams
of oil from the tanks ran in the direc-
ton of the coulee. All workmen on re
field Immediately stopped operations
and set about throwing up levees to
prevent as far as possible the spreading
of the fire.
In a short time, however, another
tank had broken loose and the wind
had driven the flames into the derricks
of the Southern, Northern and Crescent
oil companies, but they, in some man
ner escaped destruction. The fire is
still raging tonight and the safety of
the field depends on the strength of
Jennings No. >. The oil is leaking
around this tank, and, together with the
gas is burning fiercely, sending a blaze
high into the air, and the entire field is
threatened. Workmen are now engaged
in removing the derricks of the remain
ing companies and burying the mouths
of the wells under a heavy coating of
mud and water.
A special train bearing experts has
been asked for, and they will be taken
to the field TO assist in saving the re-
naming property from destruction as
soon as they arrive from Beaumont.

The fire has burned all of the packing

SLEGHORN WINS SUIT
RETAINS POSSESSION OF WAIKI-
III LAND.
Supreme Court Sustains Verdict
Against the Kapiolani Estate-The
King and Adverse Possession.

The Supreme Court yesterday decid-
ed the case of the Kapiolani Estate
against a. S. CleghOrn, an ejectment
suit that was contested at great length
before Judge Gear and submitted to
the higher court some months ago. The
suit involved the title to Governor
Cleghorn's valuable Waikiki property
known as Ainahau. one of the main
contentious on which an appeal was
taken by the Kapiolani Estate was
that the statute of limitations could
not run against the King, Cleghorn
having claimed adverse possession as
against I<alakaua's alleged title.
The verdict and rulings of the lower
court in favor of Cleghorn are sustain
ed in a decision by Chief Justice Frear
Galbraith concurring and Perry dis
sendng. The syllabus is as follows:
1T is not error to refuse to instruct
the jury that a certain article of GER
tain constitution was in force during
a certain period, without stating the
substance of the article even if the ar
ticle were applicable to the case.
Times does not run against the
state even though the state does not
acquire title until after the period of
limitation has begun to run against
the prior owner.
The rule that time does not run
against the king applied to the King

BEHIND WITH CONTRACT.
Government Contractors at Pearl Har-
Dor to Sublet Work.

''pl - A'NA''lON " VI n
After five months Of trial. the clam
shell dredger of which so much was
expected, has proved to be unsatisfac-
tory, and negotiations are now pending
by which the old suction style Of dred-
ger will be used to complete the work at
the entrance of Pearl Harbor. Clark
and Henry have had the work discon-
tinued at the entrance of Pearl Harbor,
on account of their clam shell dredger
being too slow, and it is now proposed
by them, to sublet their contract to the
Hawaiian Dredging Company and Cot
ton Brothers.
Only four months more of the time
allotted in the contract remains and not
over 16 per cent of the work has been
completed. An application has been
made to the War Departments engi-
neers for an extension of the time.

companied by w. f. Dillingham; repre-

JEWS WHO WEAR PIGTAILS.

Jews who wear pigtaiIs, bear Chinese

RULES OF NO GRAMMAR.
They Are as Hard and Fast as the Reg
ulations of Syntax


In these days. when the newspaper
and the cheap magazine have placed
reading matter within the reach Of every
one. it is at first blush a cause Of sur
prise that SO many people talk ingram
matiCaIIy. While the ordinary news
paper article is not to be cIassed as
literature. yet the construction OF It's
sentences and the arrangement OF its
words are dramatically correct And
not only are these articles within the
reach of the multitude. but they are
read by the vast majority. Doubtless
there is an Improvement in the forms
Of speech now used over those Of an
earlier generation, yet the difference is
not as great as the force OF the example
would warrant. In the commonplace OF
life. as well as in such a momentous
event as that to which he applied it,
Edmund Burke's statement that "Ex
ample IS the school of mankind, and
they viii learn 1t at no other" has
force. Just why the little boy who said
in. is the type OF as large q class to-
day as when his grandfather vas q hoy
seems strange. The force OF early illit-
crate environment, II would seem, should
yield 10 more learned surroundings.
Perhaps one reason for the longevity
Of uEgTamEaatical usage is that there
are as hard and fast rules for speech
that Is Incorrect as Tor that which
comes from the lips OF the puTist They
are rules to be followed in spite OF the
fact that they have never been set
down in print and have never been form
uIated even in tradition If one takes
the pains TO note the speech OF an IN
grammatical IeTson il viii be observed
that he always misUses the same words

variance in his forms OF speech as IN
those OF the most punctilious verbaIist.
HIS intuitive rules guide him as &C
curateIy TO incOrrectnes5 as the rules
OF grammar guide the educated person
to elegance.
The misuse Of the personal pronoun
because II is the most common, may
serve as an Illustration OF a set Of
rules which holds through all the range
OF iIIiteracy. Never by accident does
