Conductor Frederick Sweet Missing From Town“; Went Away a Week Ago and Has Not Since Been Heard From. ' The employees of the Norwalk Street Railway company are considerably stirred up over the mysterious disap- pearance of Frederick W. Sweet, con- ductor on Motorman James Hanlon’s trolley car. Sweet went away a week ago and nothing has since been heard from him by either relatives or friends. He but failed to put in an appearance. His locker at the car barn was Open- ed and it was discovered that all of his clothing had been removed, and not a piece left behind. A visit to his boarding house also led to the discovery that he had taken away all of his belongings in a trunk when he took his departure last week. Prior to his leaving the car barn he told several of the employees that he was going away on a few days vaca- tion, but beyond this not-hing is known of his intentions. His mother,Mrs. Catherine A. Sweet, resides on. Cross street, South Nor- walk, with another son, Sumner L., who is a conductor on the Norwalk Tramway line. Neither of them, how- ever, have any idea where Fred has gone. Inquiries have been made out of town, but his whereabouts’has not as yet been discovered. He has, it is said, a sister living on a far‘ih ip New York state and it may be that he has gone there, but nothing has been heard by the relatives to this ef- fect, and they are considerably worked up by his mysterious disappearance. Several have the idea that he has goue to the Klondike, while others be- lieve he got tired of Norwalk and simply packed his trunk and started for pastures new. _ Fred was a good conductor and quite popular with his fellow employees as well as the patrons of the road, all of whom hope that no harm has befallen him. ' He was always careful of his money and has saved considerable since he has been with the Street Railwaycom'pany, so that when he went away, he was not in need of funds. -—-——-——-—<o.o>——v—————- Horsewhipped His Daughter.

Michael Ratchford has purchased what is known as the Fillow property in Westport and occupiedby groceryman George A. Darrow. He, some days since, secured the adjoining property. He says that for the present, at least, he does not contemplate making any marked changes in the buildings and that so far as he is concerned, the ten- ants can remain under the same condi- tions as previous to his purchase. ——-————<o.c.>—-——-— A Nine Mill Tax; The estimate of the amount of money, which in the opinion of the council of the City of Norwalk, will be necessary and rehuisite to meet and provide for each of the departments of the city government for the next ensuing fiscal year amounts to $44,400. The grand list just footed up amounts to $5.084,292. which shows that if the city meetihg appropriates the several amounts asked for, will require the laying of a 9 mill tax.

There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by Constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed con- dition of the mucous lining of the Eu- stachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en- tirely closed deafness is the result. and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition”, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh. which is nothing but an in- flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
