piy to counsel for oomplainant witness said
the only rate ou oil in barrels from Lonii-

29J eta. per 100 lbs. No other rate bad been
given to anybody. Counsel produced a let

Counsel thereupon produoed a letter bear

complainant, stating that the rates givcu
to him were ts low as those given to aoy-
t e and that the compsr y would give no
other. The wilnemi said that that was
written under tho impression that the rates
originally given Mr. Eice ware comet.
Counsel asked bow that could be since the

from the complainant, quoting the 37 cents
rate and asking if no better terms could be
given and if oihtr shippers were not given
moro favorable rates. Witness replied ss
belore, adding that bo did not at tho time
know the rates and, not doubling that they
had been given correctly, he did not exam

out knowledge otwrong or error, have pur.
obes d from railroad companle] lands whioh
have bien previously entered byapreomp-
tion or bomesteai set.'Ier, whose retry had
been erroneously eunceiltd uni which lar d
the pre-emption or homecteed settler did
not elect to olatm after recovery by proper
proceedings.
Secoud, that the department, after the
adjustment of a land grant, can
not issue a patent to a pur. Later until it is
legally determined that the patent to the
railroad h id been errt.no; usly issued.
Third, Ibat where a railroad company
has sold in |a cltix.n Isndt not co: voyed to
tbs comounv, the ciizin can purchase
from tbe Unii. d Hint, s at the government,

During ihe ytare that I httvo been alUlcttHl
I hftvo tried almost every thing claimed to
bo a specific for Dj*pep«l* In the hope of
finding something that wo did aff ord perma
nent relief. I hid abont made np my mind
to abandon all medicines when I noticed an
indorsement of Simmons Liver Reg

whom I knew, and concluded to try ita ef
fect* in my OAie. I have imed bnt two bot-

right thing at last I felt its beneficial ef

preparations of a similar kind, no special
