The work performed by Chief Voll-t . mer and his officers, of the South Nor- walk police, in the Fuda murder case, is deserving of the highest praise. ' From the first notification of the crime they have been untiring in their search for clues, and the capture of both the murderer and his accomplice is of the greatest credit to them one and all. They have not left a stone unturned that would furnish a clue to the guilty parties, and when Fuda and . Imapassino are placed on trial they will find that a web has been wound about them by Chief Vollmer and his- officers that will probably land them upon the scaffold to expiate their crime. Business Improvement. ' One still hears with more or less fre- quency the question: “Have you no- ticed any great improvement in busi- ness ‘3” with the customary answer. “Well, I think .things are easier than they were.” The question is asked in almost every tone of feeling, ironically’ accustively, vindictively, tentatively, and in real search ofinformation. And the cautious answer betokens a condi- tion of affairs that carries with it the largest measure of encouragement. The fact is expressed that the respon- dent does not wish to commit himself to a too optimistic view of the situation but cannot deny the evidences of a change for the better. It is as though I somebody at the end of February should ask: “Do.you think spring has come ?” and the other, mindful of the blizzard of 1888, should answer: “Well, there seems to be reasonable assurance that winter cannot last much longer.” A Police Contingent Fund. The recent murder of the . Italian woman in East Norwalk, proves what the GAZETTE has before stated, the City Councils of Norwalk and South Norwalk hands of the chairman of 'the police committee at all times to be used in. emergencies of this kind. Ever since the crime was committed last Wednes- day night Chief Vollmer and his men have been working on the case at their own expense, taking the money from their pockets to pay their necessary ex: . expenses as they arose, as there was no other means of obtaining funds. A contingent fund to be used in an emer- gency would be of great assistance to the police, and should be voted without delay. THEY WILL BOLT. The People of Norwalk Are Vitally Interested.g ' One Case and There Are Others. There is a large body of bolters in Nor walk and vicinity. The movement has been gaining force for some time and has become so powerful that those interested are anxious to declare themselves, They are bolting ancient and useless methods of treating catarrh and hay fever, and they have come out: in full force for California Catarrh Cure, because they have tried it and know its worth. Here are words from a Norwalk man who has tried many medicines and treatments before he got what he wanted in California Catarrh Cure, the greatest and only known cure for catarrh: Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street, Nor- walk, says: “I have been a great sufferer from catarrh for over thirty years, hav- ing contracted the disease during A-the war. My whole head seemed full of scabs, and the discharge from the nose and into the threat was something awful. My head ached almost continually, and I never got a good night’s sleep. I pro— cured a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk. It has given me more relief than I have had for years; my head is very much im- proved and I can now sleep all night. It is certainly a great reliever, and I am glad to recommend it. Nothing among all the things I tried before helped me one quarter as much in months, as C. C. C. has in a few weeks.” You don’t have to wait tofind out if it will help you, for it relieves at once. To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use C. C. C. new, It is a sure preventive of this and all mucous diseases. Use it to break up your colds, and to prevent colds “hanging on.” Price, 50 cents; three times as much for one dollar. --<-. Experience is the Only True Test. F. A. Turner, of the State Insurance Ofu fice, Salem, Ore., says: “Out of the scores of cough medicines in the market there is only ‘me I have any confidence in and that is Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy. I make this statement after an experience of twelve years’ use of this valuable remedy. For coughs and colds it is splendid, bllt where its work , is infallible is with children subject to croup. I keep it in my home at all times.” For sale should keepa contingent fund .in the NOW GOING ON! a THEO. H.‘ OLSEN’S v GREAT BANKRUPT SALE or 8110133- ENHEABD OE BARGAINS.
