Has Been Alfordedjilany Sufferers ‘ In Norwalk. If there was doubt in the mind of any sulferer from Asthma in this city as to the truth of the claims made for Dr. Schilfmann’s Asthma Cure, that doubt no longer remains, providing he was among those who called at E. P. Weed’s drug store, last Thursday and obtained a free sample package. A great num- . her who have already tried the same declare in positive terms that relief was immediate; that the wretched spasms were checked; that free ex- pectoration was induced; that a reclin- ing position was readil y assumed and gratefully maintained; that the sleep which followed was restful and un- broken, and that the morning brought a clear head and a feeling of delighted thankfulness which no words are too strong to describe. Abundant voluntary testimonials prove that Dr. Scnifi‘man’s Asthma Cure not only gives instant relief in the worst cases, but has positively cured thousands who were considered incurable. The remedy is now sold by all Druggists in packages at 50c and $1.00, thus bringing it within the reach of all. Should any reader be unable to obtain it of his Druggist, it will be sent. postpaid, by sending to Dr. R. Schiffman, 316 Rosabel St., St. Paul, Minn. _‘_“ ‘v' “DANBURY AGAIN HAS A BLAZE.

E pr COLONEL THEODORE ROOSEVELT, U. S. V. FR<iM HARPER’S WEEKLY. Copyright, 1898, by Harper & Brothers. Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt gained an international name for the way in which he organized, equipped, and took through the Spanish cam- paign perhaps the most unique regi- ment that has been known in the his- tory of this country. The large por- trait of him which we publish in this issue is a drawing from a large photo- graph taken of the Colonel by the Harper’s Weekly special photographer during the last days of his camp life at Montauk, L. I. It was just as he is in this drawing that Colonel Roosevelt went through the' last and perhaps not the least important, episode in the his- tory of this extraordinary regiment. Shortly after breakfast one morning Colonel Roosevelt noticed that orders were being given to his men which had not emanated from him. The different troops were marching out in a body to a little strip of open country near the camp, and before he knew what was taking place he was waited upon by a committee of officers and troopers. who asked him to walk out into a hollow square formed by his regiment. There he was presented with a bronze statue of a Bronco Buster, and, after the speeches had been made, the episode closed with an impromptu reception, during which the entire regiment marched by their Colonel in single file, each man shaking him by the hand. has A ‘ ‘v An Incipient Blaze. ' The firemen responded to an alarm of fire from box 32, located near Mer- Win street, about 5:15 yesterday after- noon. It was found to be located at the Miss Baird Institute on Orchard street, but was quickly subdued without the use of a stream from the hose, the chemical fire extinguisher being used. It originated from an electric light wire caused by the grounding of the same while some repairs were being made about the building. The fire was confined to the floor of a room in the second story of the building, and the loSs will probably not be in excess of $100, upon which there is a full insurance at the J. M. Layton agency.

They were greatly surprised when arrested and it is believed that they have owned up to several bits of important evidence. , An express money order envelope was found in an ash pile in the rear of Mrs. Nancy Guilford’s residence on Gilbert street on Tuesday last. It was addressed to Mrs. Guilford and Platts- ville was marked as its destination. The New Haven police worked the clue, the information having been im- parted to them by William Dixson', a New York newspaper man who acci dentally made the discovery in search- He wanted to see the books of the Express company at Plattsville but was refused. It was then that the nature of the clue was revealed. State’s Attorney Fessenden and Cor- oner C. A. Doten instructed the Platts- ville branch of the Adams Express company to lay open their books for police inspection. It was then that the startling discovery which incriminates Harry Oxley was made. ' The books showed that Oxley had forwarded to Mrs. Nancy Guilford $30 a. short time prior to her departure from this city. This accounts for how Mrs. Guilford secured the funds to go traveling as she was known to be prac- tically bankrupt when her departure was made. The books showed further that at doctress had mg for clues. subsequent dates . the received from between $100 and $200. What she did with this is not known. When this information was learned the local authorities made arrange- ments for the arrests. . ‘ The next step in the famous case will be the apprehension of Mrs. Guilford- Her exact whereabouts at present are not known but every effort will be made to locate her. Last evening Superintendent Bir- mingham refused to deny or confirm the statement that Mrs. (Guilford was wanted. It is now the belief of the local police that Walter Foster is_not connected with the case after all further than he kept company with the girl. When asked about the matter Supt. Birming- ham said: “I d‘on’tthink this man' is ‘ g .in it at all.” From this it is inferred that he will be released to-day. Foster has wealthy relatives. A brother-in-law from the eastern part of the state named Hall, who is reputed to be worth $2,000,000 was in town yesterday. He engaged the services of Attorney James T. Lynch, one of the ablest criminal lawyers in the state. “Emma Gill is not dead,” was the astounding statement made by Attor- ney Lynch early last evening. When questioned further he said: “I would like to tell you but I can’t at present. ” Regarding his client he said: “There is no doubt of Foster’s innocence. He can never be convicted on . the charge and I intend to secure his release.” 4“ ——The Time to Invest.
