Did you clean Off your sidewalk this morning ? The Fire Devil has made his appear- ance in Norwalk. ' Watching the butcher prime his beef is tl1e1‘latest fad. It’s a wise woman who can tell wliere her husband is at night. " The present, speculativeffever is lia- ble‘to be followed by a severe chill. Is it not about time that “Bachelor’s Row” in the Mahackemo was decreas- ed ‘? I The flurry in Wall street has wiped out the crossroads buc ketshops through- out the country. The Democratic seat on the Town Court band wagon has been confiscated by a Republican. The check bOok appears to be an im- portant factor in several of the con- tests for United States Senator. Under the new rule one cannot be regarded as a loyal Democrat unless he Stands 0. K. on Editor Troup’s list. The GAZETTE building now harbors four judges, Judge Perry, Judge Greg- ory, Judge Stuart and Judge Lock- wood. Judge E. M. Lockwood, the newly appointed associate judge, is to be con- gratulated upon his election to the Town Court bench. The New Yorkers. might facilitate matters in that poisoning case by call- ing on Detectives Gladstone and Mona- ban for assistance. Fayne Moore, the badger artist, is to be released and turned loose on the stage. Here’s a chance for some-out- sider to put her on at Bridgeport. It is strenuously denied that Council- man Meeker suggested that the Nor- walk river be damned when he slipped and fell on the Wall street bridge. A New York museum advertises a four-legged girl. Here’s the long de- layed opportunity for the bachelor edi- tor of the New Haven News to secure a “deer.” In the event of Attorney Lockwood succeeding to the associate judgeship of the Town Court there are plenty of willing lawyers ready to accept the Prosecuting Liquor Agent’s berth. "Meet me outside of the town after dark and bring a pair of pants with you, I have a hat,” was the cheering message received by a Bridgeport wo- man from her Klondike husband. The resolution. introduced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Keeler, nominating Attorney Edward M. Lock- wood as associate judge of the N orwalk Town Court to succeed Judge Henry W. Gregory, will remove a gentleman and oflicial who has‘gained the esteem and respect of all. Judge Gregory’s retirement will not only be regretted by lawyers and laymen, but by news- paper men in particular, who are doub- ly indebted to him for the many cour- ‘tesies extended during his occupancy of the bench.

Someone should suggest to that Fairfield County lawmake1 who wishes to have football proclaimed a misde- meanor, that he framea law which shat1 make Jerry Denny guilty of g1and larceny when he steals a- base next‘ summer, and Bob Pettit amenable for cruelty to animals when he catches a fly.—,Derby News. That “ ’tis an ill wind that blows no body tiny good” seems to be proven by the report. that the"loss of so many vessels in the severe storms of Novem- ber and December has caused an in- crease in freight rates on coasting ves- sels Of more than ‘100 per cent. over the rates of a year ago. This brings the dollars into the pockets of’ the owners of the surviving vessels.—Port~ land Express. A New Jersey woman who knew her own fault cut of the end of her tongue so that she could not talk so much. As usual with women she over- did the matter and cut off too much. As a result she cannot talk at all. We hope this practice will not obtain here. We would rather hear the ladies talk than have them suffer, even though they=s 1y nothing when they do talk.— Ansosia Sentinel. It is very evident that the people are thinking about the inequalties in rep- resentation brought about by our an- cient constitution This fact is made apparent by the number Of proposi- tions for amendment introduced in the general assembly, and the decided Republicans have taken‘in favor Of‘a change.

If they do, and he doesn’t it may complicate matters.— New Haven News. ‘ v‘ " PIRSIIIP BDIPLEXIDR. It does not require an expert to de- tect the sufferer from kidney trouble. The hollow cheeks.*the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician would ask if you had rheumatism, a dull pain or ache 1n the back or Over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it: if after passing the1e 1s an unsatisfied feeling, as if it must at once be repeated, or if the urine has a brick dust deposit or strong odor. When these symptoms are p1 esent, no time should be lost in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catar1h of the bladder, inflammation. causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with inst1 uments, or may run into Bright' s Disease, the most dangerous stage of kidney trouble. Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and bladder specialist, is a positive remedy for such diseases. Its reputation is world-wide and it is sareasy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it. However, if you prefer to first test its wonderful merits, mention THE NORWALK GAZETTE and write to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a sample bottle and book telling all . about it, both sent absolutely free by mail. ' Hoyt’s I Theatre. .4 .—.'_-.-—-. 111111111 £11110. 111.131; JOS. W.
