NORFOLK. VA. April 12.-Special.-
The action of the Board of Police Com
missioners in removing Chief Rebman
and the detectives. was expected by the
people OF Norfolk. who have felt that
a verdict has been reached before the
case was argued. Mr.. Rebman was APP
pointed by the Prohbitionists. and the
Democrats of the Councils will not be
apt to do anything to keep him in the
position.
1t appears that the most formidable
charge against the Chief was that he
had gone over to the ring politicians.
This was not proven TO the satisfaction
OF the public: nevertheless, the charge
had weight with the commissioners.

Hoods Sarsap arilla

PEELED to cut her hair, as she could not
bear the weight of it. At first the change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed to be less frequent and the SWELL
ing in some of the joints subsidized after
using about one bottle. Then improve
nsnt was more rapid and one night she
surprised us greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
she surprised us still more by rolling
oyer across tho bed. From that time on
Improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began TO creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and / fear
it will remain so. We feel that to Hoods
Sarsaparilla we owe our chiid's life.
