Gladness Comes

With q better understanding of the
w transient neture of the many phys
lea! ills, which vanish before proper eff
iforts-gcntle fforts-pleasan Efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly That is why 1t is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that It is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
MI important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine nrti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular. laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but il in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup Of
Figs stnnds highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

UNNECESSARY ALARM.
Farmers In Kenosha County Still
Worried Over Their Land
Titles.

Kenosha, Wis, Dec. 2S.-[Speciall-A
prominent Gland lawyer" has given the
farmers of Kenosha county, who were
frightened into thinking their homes in
danger by reason of lack of patent
to their lands from the government, by
assuring them that their duplicate GER
tifcates are conveyances and that the
laws provide ample protection for the
titles based upon them. He says a
duplicate certificate is presumptive evil
dence that the title to the lands de-
scribed therein passed to and is vested
in the person therein named, his heirs
or assigns. Another provision of the law
concerning them is that they shall be
evidence Of the facts certified to. They,
therefore, constitute conveyance of the
full equitable title and estate and leave
in the government only the naked legal
title, which is to be passed by the purely
clerical act of issuing a patent. The
remedial act of March 3. 1891, he states,
constitutes the issuance of the patent
q clerical act merely. Then the dupli-
cate certificate is not the only written
evidence of the presumption. 1t is en-
tered upon the official plats and tract
books, and in both the registers and re-
ceiver's "Record of Certificates" Month
ly abstracts of all these records are
transmitted by the local Offices, together
with the duplicate certificates retained
by them at time of entry to the general
land Office. From these transcripts the
certificates of entry are issued in dupli-
cate, one for the pre-emptor and the
other for the Office. The pre-emptor is
not obliged to present his duplicate at
Washington. He usually holds that to
exchange for the patent when issued.
Once the pre-emptor has made the neces-
sary proofs, paid the price of the land
and received his duplicate certificate his
duties are at an end. This process of
getting patent and title to land is very
simple and cheap. Notwithstanding all
these explanations the German farmers
of the county still apprehend danger and
are besieging the Offices of the private
abstractors to see if their land titles are
all right.
