adays are interested in little corner
of the Portland Historical Society,
where the first printing press sent out
west Of the Rocky Mountains is on ex-
/ hibition, a printing press which was
sent from Boston to Hawaii in 1919.
George W. Smith, who recently re-
turned from trip to Puget Sound
visited the historical rooms and found
the little printing press in corner,
, well protected, and properly labeled
The press is of the old Franklin
variety, with a hand roller and lever,
capable of printing letter-sized sheet.
This press was brought here by the
first missionaries and was used in the
printing of the first editions of the
Bible in the Hawaiian language. and
all documents connected with mission
, work.
In 1884, the mission having received
a larger press, the original press was
disposed of and was taken aboard a
sailing vessel which went to Puget
Sound The captain sold the press in
the Northwest and upon it was printed
Portland S first newspaper. The press
is hardly larger than a good sized type
writing machine.
Mr.. Smith expressed the hope that
the printing press could be brought
back to Honolulu some day to be
placed among the valuable archives
and relics of the early days of the mis-
sionary movement here.

Jarrett asking him what course he
would take if the pictures were placed

The letters are similar to those that

the sheriff has found himself called
upon to decide a question better fitted
for the consideration of some of Homo

There is no law against barring such

the federal law that bars prize fight

GOES FOR WATER, BUT
FINDS ONLY DEATH
AGED Hawaiian Woman Passes
Away in Brush Back of
Her Home.

A few hours after she had passed
around the corner of her house after a
bucket of water, the dead body of Ka-
nealii Pihimanamana was found in the
brush nearby yesterday morning. The
matter was reported to the police at
once and an autopsy revealed death
from natural causes. There will be
no inquest.
Witnesses testified to the police that
she had been acting as usual during
the morning and had been visited by
several friends. After bidding these
goodbye she had resumed work about
the house and a japanese neighbor,
living across the street, observed her
pass around the house
She was not seen again for some
time and partly in curiosity, several
persons wandered around back of the
house to investigate. A search of the
brush revealed the body. The woman
was a resident of Nuuanu Valley near
the brickyard.

PEOPLE WANT PROOF

Don't give up hope of cure just
| because you have selected the wrong
means, especially when there is a
| treatment that has cured hundreds
afflicted as you are. II you are weak
from any cause or suffering from
backache, lumbago, sciatica, rheuma-
tism, stomach and liver trouble, kid
ney, bladder or bowel complaints.
Dr. Bartz's system of treatment will
make you strong and we'll again.
Here is one of his late testimon-
ials. He can refer you to many
others If you want further proof.
Mrs. Edward Van Giusen, who re-
sides at 1855 Forty-second street.
Rock Island, says: 'All my life 1
and for the past seven years. it has
been exceptionally bad. My tongue
was coated nearly all the time and
there was hardly a day passed but
what had a nasty taste in my mouth
together with this unpleasant state
of affairs, 1 suffered great deal of
pain in my back and bowels, in fact,
1 became so bad 1 could hardly do
my work. Finally, 1 began to rea-
lie that I would have to have help
soon or else give up completely, SO
/ made up my mind to consult DR..
Bartz and try his method of treat
ment. 1 am glad 1 did SO, for now
can hardly find words to express
my delight to think what a success
his treatment has been IN my case.
I really feel like a new woman. The
pains from which 1 suffered and that
distressed feeling in my stomach has
all left me, the food all tastes natur-
al again, in fact, feel perfectly well
once more"
The above case well illustrates the
marvellous work that is being accom-

Bank Building, (Fourth Floor, cor
ner Second avenue and Eighteenth
street, Rock Island. His offices are
nearly always crowded with patients,
some of whom come long distances to
be treated. His treatmnet is indeed
wonderful as pains and aches are
frequently relieved in few minutes
time.
Notice-An patients calling at Dr.
Bartz's offices between now and Aug.
81 are treated free until cured.
This offer was extended until then
on account of the fact that the con-
sentative patients were only recent
ly beginning to realize and appreci-
ate the true merits of his successful
method of treatment and besides Or.
Bartz is anxious to add at least 10
more recommendations to his list of
