Destroyed by
Fire.
A Bucket Brigade Made an Uusuccessful
Attempt to Extinguish the Flames.
The sash and blind factory of Ray-
mond Johnson at West N orwalk, was
discovered to be on fire at a late hour
yesterday afternoon.
There are no facilities for fighting
fire in that section of the town, but a
bucket brigade was quickly organized,
but to no purpose as the flames had too
much of a start.
The building in which there was
comparatively little but what was of an
inflammable nature burned like tinder
and in short order there was naught
left but charred remnants of the factory.
The loss was considerably in excess
of the $300 insurance placed with the
O. E. Wilson agency.
The cause of the fire is thought to
have been from a hot box on the ma-
chinery which communicated with the
sawdust or shavings on the floor.

The fire was discovered by a neigh-

in the kitchen in a wood box back of

on the floor above, one in a closet and

A. Chance toGet 3. Wheel Free
OR ACE A. SAUNDERS has been selling bicycles for
over seven years.
In that time he has sold thousands of wheels, and his
guarantee has ever been found as good as a bond. ‘
Every wheel sold by him is of first-class workmanship
' and of the highest grade.
For nearly two years he has been in business at his
present store, No. 12 North Main street, South Norwalk,
been most successful, his large sales increasing each season.
One reason for his success is that he is firm believer in printers’ ink and
uses it freely and to the best advantage, believing that keeping everlasting—
ly at it is bound to bringthe desired result.
His business thus far this season has surpassed his most sanguine ex
pectations, his sales being something enormous in the bicycle line.
He is not yet satisfied, however, and proposes to stir up the riders of the
zilent steed by giving away one of his bicycles to the most popular wheel—

REMARKABLE RECOVERY.
New York Man Declares HisuLife Has Been Saved by
Dr. David Kennedy’sFavorite Remedy. '
Every Reader of This Paper May Have a Sample Bottle Sent Free.
Post Paid, by flail.
Kidney, Urinary, Bladder and Liver Diseases can be cured, no matter if
they are of long standing and have a deep foothold. Dr. David Kennedy-'8
Favorite Remedy cures them. If any one doubts, let ‘ ,
him read the following remarkable statement, which ' - ‘ ‘
is certain and convincing proof, fresh from the lips .
of T. J. Mauser, whose sufi'erings have been simply -' '. -
terrible. Mr. Mauser is a‘ Prohibitionist who ‘ " ‘
stands high in the councils of his party, having
been a. candidate on the Prohibition ticket for As-
semblyman and Congress—
man. He is head of the firm » .
, of T. J. Manser& Son, plain '
and ornamental plasterers, No. j
769 Ninth Avenue, New York City.
He says:
“For seven years I have
sufiered from the worst form of .. ,
urinary trouble, enduring pains "
which words cannot describe. It
was next to impossible to hold my
urine back, and it passed involuntarily
with a burning. scalding pain. I was
slowly dying. I tried four doctors, but
they simply aggravated the disease. I became
so weak that my business was neglected, and
it seemed I would soon have to give it up. The
doctors said my temperate habits enabled me to
live as long as I have. Recently I saw an
advertisement of- Dr. David Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy, and decided to try it. Relief
was almost instantaneous. Although I'have not yet
taken a bottle, I feel I have a new lease of life. I
, ; can truly say my life has been saved by Favorite
Remedy, and, most willingly consent that this be published
for the benefit of others.” (Signed) T. J. MANSER.
A sure test to determine if the Kidney or Urinary organs
are diseased is to put some urine in a glass tumbler and let it
stand twenty-four hours. (See the illustration in this adver-
tisement.) A sediment or powder-like.substance at the bottom,
and a. cloudy or milky condition, are unfailing signs. Other certain symptoms
are pains in the small of the back; the staining of linen when urine touches it;
frequent desire to urinate, especially at night; scalding pain in passing water,
and inability to retain the urine in the bladder. Favorite Remedy overcomes
all these troubles when nothing else will. It corrects the bad effects on the
Kidney and Liver of whiskey and beer, and has cured thousands of the most
distressing cases when the attending physician had given up hope. Our wives
and daughters are too often treated for what is commonly termed “female
trouble" by their home doctor, when, if a; correct diagnosis of their condition
were made, Dr. David Kennedy’s Favorite Remedy would be prescribed
as the medicine that will surely make them well. Sold by all druggists at $1.00
for large size bottle, or six bottles for $5.00. . ,
