THE KIDNEY CDMPLEXION.
The pale, sallow, sunken-checked,
distressed-looking people you so often
meet are afflicted with “Kidney Com-
plexion.”
Their kidneys are turning to a
parsnip color. So is their complexion.
They may also have indigestion, or
suffer from sleeplessness, rheumatism,
neuralgia, brain trouble, nervous ex-.
haustion and sometimes the heart
alts badly. ,
The cause is weak, unhealthy kid-
neys. .
Usually the sufferer from kidney
disease does not find out what the
trouble is until it is almost too late,
because the first symptoms are so like
mild sickness that they do net think
they need a medicine or a doctor until
they find themselves sick in bed.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root will build
up and strengthen their weak and dis-
eased kidneys, purify their diseased,
kidney-poisoned blood, clear their com-
plexion and soon they will enjoy better
health.
You can get the regular sizes at the
drug store, at fifty cents and one dol-
lar, or you may first prove for yourself
the wonderful virtues of this great dis-
covery, Swamp-Root, by sending your
address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Bingham—
ton, N. Y., for a sample bottle and a
.book’ that tells all about it, both-lent
to you absolutely free by mail. When
writing kindly mention, that you read

Tuesday night,Robert M. McCormack
of Warren street, this city, reported to
Captain of police Wallace Dann that
his home had been burgalarized,a quan—
tity of wearing apparel, jewelry, etc.
having been stolen.
Several people living in the neigh-
borhood had seen James Murphy, per-
haps better known as “Wicked” Mur-
phy, enter- the house during the day
and reported the fact to McCormack
who communicated his suspicions to
Captain Damn. I
In the search Captain Dann learned
that the fellow was in the habit of fre-
quenting the saloon of Maurice Mc-
Grath at Winnipauk and sent ofiicers
Hunt and Seymour to that place where
he was found. The officers placed him
under arrest and brought him to the
station house where he was locked up.
Murphy was wearing a suit of clothes
which he had stolen which was evi-
dence enough of his guilt.
This morning in the town court be-
fore Judge Gregory, he was charged
with burglary and pleaded guilty. He
was bound over under bonds of $1,000

The Norwalk Business Men’s associa-1
tion held an informal smoker and busi-
ness meeting in Red Men’s hall, GA-
ZETTE. building, last night. ’
President E. S. Adams occupied the
chair, and Secretary, C. F. Tristram
read the minutes of the former meeting.
He also read a communication from the
secretary of the Philadelphia Trades
League, relative to the adjustment of
railway mail pay, and requesting the
local association to adopt resolutions
and forward them to Washington. The
association thereupon adopted the fol-
lowing:
Whereas, One cent letter postage and
the introduction of a cheap parcel post
system are directly dependent upon the
government being able to have the mail
hauled at a rate which is equitable to
both the railroads and the people.
Resolved, That Congress be respect-
fully petitioned to critically examine.
the claims embodied in the preamble
and resolutions ad opted by the Nation-'
al Board of Trade, and if they be found
by reliable statistics to be correct, then
to promptly change the pay for railway
mail transportation to an equitable
basis, and also" promptly give to' the
citizens of this country the privilege of
one cent letter postage, which, accord-
ing to the estimate of a former post-
master general, would yield the gov.-
ernment at this time a profit of 137 per
cent, but the greatly increased buSi-
ness which has always followed previ-
ous reductions in the rate of letter post-
age, warrants the prediction that the
net profit to the government upon'one,
centletter postage will equal or exceed
the present net profit upon two cent
letter postage.
Attorney E. M. Lockwood addressed
the meeting, making several sugges-
tions for the Improvement of the as-
sociation. He told of his recent visit
to the New Haven association and the
good time he had. - He was of the op-
inion thata smoker by the Norwalk
association would awaken interest
among business men. ’
He was followed by P. F. Masterson
of the Bostofi Store, who spoke of sev-
eral matters which he thought would
advance the interests of the association.
K. W. Mansfield addressed the meet-
ing on the benefits that Norwalk would
derive from the extension of the Tram-
way to New Canaan, which he hoped
to be able to accomplish this spring.
He also suggested the bringing of new
industries into town. '
President Adams was in favor of
passing a resolution tending to give all
contracts for work in town to home
bidders instead of giving them to out-
side parties. u .
M r. Tristram and Moses H. Glover
were in. favor of holding a'smoker if
trolley cars could be Obtained to bring
the members of the Bridgeport and
Stamford associations over. Upon be-
ing assured by ‘Mr. Mansfield that the
cars iii-could be secured, Mr. Glover
moved that a smoker be held on March
14, which was adopted.
OR was voted to entertain upon that
occasion the members of the Bridge-
port association, and a delegatibn of

has proven an extra incentive to the
pupils of the Kent and Georgetown
districts who are to meet in a history
match at the GeorgetoWn school on
March 10th. The trophy is presented
for the purpose of inciting friendly
rivalry among the various schools in
town and can be challenged for in any
of the studies used in common in all the
schools. For the first contest 2200 ques—
tions in United States History have
been selected by Mr. G. W. Ogden,
who originated the idea, for use among
his scholars in the Georgetown schools
and" showed them to H. D. Benedict,
who promptly 'challenged him on be-
half of his own school to a mutual con-
test, wh'ieh was promptly accepted-
Both schools have been carefully drill-
ed, and a set ofrulcs drawn up by which
the contest will be conducted. Acting
school visitor Horace Reynolds has
been selected as Judge.
