Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax,
ative; efectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man

and Against John L. Barry.
Judge Johnson yesterday rendered a
decision in the case of w. P. Coleman VS..
John t. Barry. The testimony showed
mat written contract was entered into
oy the two parties whereby the plaintiff,
as real estate agent, engaged to procure
purchaser for real estate of the defend
ant IN San Francisco, and was to receive
commissions therefor amounting to 1926
IN the event of making the sale.
u. A. Crouch, who is employed in Mr..
Coleman's office, so managed the affair
tnat Albert Gallatin exchanged $4,000
worth OF Sacramento property for Barry's
Sah % FRANCISCO property, valued at ST., 800
Inc deeds were exchanged and Gallatin
palu the difference, s., 500 in cash.
barry then refused to pay Coleman his
commission, on the ground that he the
latter did not sign The agreement. and
also that he did not give his personal at
tention to the business, but left it to Mr..
Crouch.
Judge johnson decided that the defend
ant was the party to be charged and to
pay Tor the services rendered. AS he
signed the agreement, the statute was
complled with, and he was charged with
the amount stated.
In regard to the second objection the
court said that if the contention was cor
rect the influence of real estate broker
Is curtalled and he would have to give his
personal attention to all business in
trusted to him and could not avail HIM
self of any assistance.
The court rendered judgment for the
amount claimed by plaintiff in his favor.

Lieu Lands.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: My attention
has been called to a communication in
your issue of May I'd from Edward
Twitchell, who for many years was a
Deputy Surveyor-Generalu under differ
ent administrations of that office.
He was retained by me as a clerk in the
Office during my termsas State Surveyor
General, which was during Governor
Booths administration, IS7I-75. NV
reminiscent friend entirely ignores State
lieu land matters during the many years
that he was Chief Deputy of that import
ant office of great duties and RESPONSE
bllity TO the people, and at time when
he virtually shaped the policy and con-
trolled the machinery of that Office on all
matters pertaining TO the location and
sale of ''lieu lands" belonging to the
State.
While the press of the State has always
been open to his pen, and the rostrum to
his voice, had he been anxious TO discuss
proposed legislation and executive in
competency as affecting the lieu land
question, whether for revenue only or
actual settlement, l find, from a careful
perusal of his communication, that on
two occasions only did he ever volunteer
to enlighten the people of the State on the
fraudulent perversion of the lieu land"
laws CdEIleu uut DS CORRUPT cOnHlVauce OF
the officials of the party in power.
He says: at was generally known
that E. Twitchelll had had long expert
ence in State land matters, and was re-
quested TO go before Senate committee
that had under consideration the bill al
lowing the purchaser to buy from the
State $40 acres of timber or grazing land,
at 81 25 per acre, no occupation of the
land required"
He failed to enlighten the committee
referred to, as he informs US, by even a
word, but retired from the arena, al
though it was his intention to strongly
oppose the bill.' Somewhere it is said,
Hell is paved with good intentions"
On the discussion of this bill, to which
he refers, l entered a protest, with rea-
sons Tor the same. against its passage by
