Two More Arrests.
--
Gathered in for Fishing in the South
Norwalk Water Reservoir.
As stated in these columns Tuesday
two men were placed under arrest for
unlawfully fishing in the South N orwalk
water reservoir. They were paroled,
and took advantage of the parole to
skip out of town, since which time
constable Barlow who arrested them
has failed to locate his former prisoners.
Yesterday, the constable secured
evidence that there were two other
persons equally as guilty as the two
previously arrested.
His former experience led him to be
more careful in placing the parties,
Irving Lockwood and Morris Ander-
son under arrest, and when the arrest
was made he insisted upon a cash bond
which was furnished.
The prisoners were cited to appear
before the Town court at South Nor-
walk, this morning.
They were fined $5 and costs each:
amounting to $27.22.

COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
The earnest Woman who takes life
very seriously, carefully weighing the
motive of the slightest act, is apt to
become impatient with her sister who
lives as the flowers do, accepting with
delight “the sunshine of prosperity,”
says Mary R. Baldwin. in the course
of an article entitled, “A Sort of Con-
tempt.”
“It has been something of a fashion
to imagine that the contempt was on
the side of the woman, who held what
are called the advantages of life: but
it is really true that those who have
been given wealth, position and op-
portunities are more guilty of regard-
ing their fellow-creatures, less favored,
with scorn than those who are below
them. Among broad-minded women
socialistic tendencies are being stamped
out.
Their hands are no longer against
what we call the upper class of society;
equality means to them a common right
to develop the best that is in them, not
a community of privilege in the world ’s
goods; not the opportunity for a like
service, nor the same sort of pleasure,
[and the one who has learned to realize
the worth of a separate individuality,
and feels that her work is a part of
her birthright, is truly a philosopher.

IIOW TO FIND Olll'.
Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys,
When urine stains linen it is evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in relieving pain in
the backflkidneys, liver, bladder and
every part of the urinary passages. It
corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain in passing it, or bad ef-
fects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to get up
many times during the night to urin-
ate. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of SwampRoot is soon realized.

you need a medicine you should have
the best. Sold by druggists, price fifty
cents and one dollar. You may have a
sample bottle and pamphlet both sent
free by mail upon receipt of three two-
cent stamps to cover cost of postage on
the bottle. Mention THE GAZETTE,

prietors of this paper guarantee the
