Good Work.

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
