FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1899.
GOOD EVENING.
About this time look out for a large
crop of small politicians who want of-
fice.
The bicycle foot is a new disease
that has been developed by women
riders in Bridgeport this summer.
If we are to judge by their remarks,
the Chicago-platform Democrats in
Connecticut are few and far between.
————A3‘——
It was a mistake for 'those assassins
to suppose they would brighten up the
case against Dreyfus by letting day-
light through his lawyer.
The mills of the Gods grind slow,but
Naromake’s prophecy is coming true.
There will be a sudden disappearance
from town before many days.
Perhaps the butchers reason they
are as much justified in trying to make
something extra out of cow me at, if the
the trust can do it out of the hide.
The meanest man hereabouts lives in
Bridgeport. He said he sent his wife
away for a rest and then explained
that it was his own rest that he meant.
If there are no children in the
family you might just as well resign
yourself to being bored by stories of
the dog’s remarkable intelligence.
That West Indian hurricane with
which we have been threatened by the
weather bureau for the past week, 'ap-
pears to have gone into innocuous
desuetude.
The enlistment of volunteers for five
new regiments as decided upon by the
war department presents to Norwalk
Son’s of Rest a fine opportunity for a
cruise to Manila.
Editor Troup will be the recognized
head of the 16 to l movement in Con-
necticut ungil somebody gives him a
hard fall. and then he will drop into
the Jim Corbett class.
A South Norwalk man has been
threatened with chastisement because
he persisted in puncturing his wife’s
bicycle tire with his scarf pin. Men
take great chances when they try to
keep their wives at home.
. Better late than never is not a bad
motto, so possibly before the end of
this month a statue of Oliver P. Morton,
who was Indiana’s War Governor, and
for years prominent as a United States
Senator, will be placed in Statuar y
Hall, W’ashington.
How surprised many a mother would
be to discover on the book shelf in her
daughter’s room back of the staid cop-
ies of Emerson or Bunyan, a frisky
bottle of cocktails! Yet if these spots
were investigated oftener than at
housecleaning time some strange reve-
lations would result.
The proposed action of the council
not to fill the vacancy on the police
force when Captain Dann resigns, ap-
pears to meet with general approval.
It is conceeded on all sides that there
will be a sufficient force left to per-
form the duties required of the officers.
The “capture,” by two tipsy men, of
a car on the Fair Haven and Westville
Road at midnight suggests that here-
after the conductors instead of passen-
gers go loaded, remarks the New Ha-
ven Register. Such ad vice coming
from Col. Osborn should make every
New Haven-.pt’ohibitibnist hold up his
hands in ‘horror.
Street Commissioner Kellogg is now
putting on a coating of macadam onWest -
avenue accordingto suggestions made
by Commissioner McDonald. The leav-
ing ofa blank spot between the curb and
crushed stone will have a tendency to
pack the road sooner thin if placed all
over the street as formerly.
Aptly remarks the Stamford Tele-.
gram, In these days of progress it is
natural and inevitable that human
agencies in all walks of life should be.
stimulated by necessity and quickened
by competition. This especially so in
the mercantile world, but the progres-
sive merchant, who has learned by ex-
GAZETTE Building“
perience that good newspaper advertis-
ing is the most effective means of keep-
ing in the forefront of the ranks of his
competitiors, need not dread the rival-
ry with which he must contend.
“ Av '_
No Right to Ugliness.
The woman who is lovely in face,
form and temper will always have
friends, but one who would be attrac-
tive must keep her health. If she is
weak, sickly and all run down, she
will be nervous and irritable. If she
has constipation or kidney trouble, her
impure blood will cause pimples,
blotches, skin eruptions and a wretched
complexion. Electric Bitters 1s the
best medicine in the world to regulate
stomach, liver and kidneys and to
purify the blood. It gives strong
nerves, bright eyes, smooth, velvet
skin, rich complexion. It will make
a good-looking. charmin woman of a
run-down invalid. Only 50 cents at
John :A. Riggs’ drug store, 11 Main
street.
Canaan Camp Meelimg.
The Pine Grove camp meeting begins
next Monday under the direction of
Rev. Clark Wright D. D., prestding
elder Poughkeepsie District. Monday
and Tuesday are Sunday school Days.
Dr.Thomas Poulson of New York Will
preach Wednesday morning and Dr.
Charles Millard in the afternoon.
Thursday morning Dr. James M. King
of Philadelphia will preach, and Dr.
Homer Eaton in the afternoon. The
meetings will close August 28.
‘A‘
V r
Discovered by a Woman.
Another great discovery has been
made, and that to, by a lady in this coun-
try. “ Disease fastened its clutches up-
on her and for seven years she withs
stood its severest tests. but her vital
organs were undermined and death
seemed imminent. For three month-
she coughed incessantly, and could not
sleep. She finally discovered a way to
recovery, by purchasing of us a bottle
of Dr. King’s New Discovery for Con-
sumption, and was, so much relieved on
taking the first dose, that she slept all
night; and with two bottles, has been
absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs.
Luther Lutz.” Thus writes W. C.
Hamnick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial
bottles free at John A. Riggs’ drug
store, 11 Main street. Regular size 50c
and $1 00. Every bottle guaranteed.
Ivy Poisoning Fatal.
Henry Reddy, a resident in Bridge
port and vicinity for fifty years, died
at the Bridgeport hospital from the ef-
fects of poisoning caused by his coming
1n contact with some poison ivy on his
firm in Stratford almost a month ago.
Just how the old gentleman became
poisoned it not known, but from a slight
in fiammation of the rightleg below the
knee the poison spread. permeating
his entirc system, and advanced in
years as Mr. Reddy was, he succumb-
ed to blood poisoning.

now I not our.
Fill a bottle br common glass with
your water and let it stand twenty-four
hours; a sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys;
if it stains your linen it is evidence of
kidney trouble; too frequent desire to
pass it or pain in the back is also con-
vincing 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
SwampRoot, the great kidney remedy
fulfills every wish in curing rheuma-
tism, pain in the back, kidneys. liver,
bladder and every part of the urinary
passages. It corrects inability to hold
water and scalding pain in passing it,
or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that un-
pleasant necessity ofbeing compelled
to go often during the day, and get up
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-
Root is soon realized. It stands the high-
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medi-
cine you should have the best. At drug—
gists fifty cents or one dollar.
You may have a sample bottle and a
book that tells more about it, both sent
absolutely free by mail, if you send your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham-
ton, N. Y. When writing be sure and
mentionthat you read this generous
offer in The N ORWALK GAZETTE.
