Grant Capt, Jose Hearing and Again
Vote to Drop Him from the Department.
When the board Of engineers OF the
Portland fire department voted to re-
move Captain Jose of Engine company
No. for inefioienoy, they acted, as it
seemed to them, for the best interest of
the department. and according to the city
ordinances they had perfect right tc
so remove him. But by advice of the city
solicitor and to cover any legal question
which might arise from their action,
the board decided to give Capt. Jose the
benefit of formal hearing on the
charges preferred against him. This
was accordingly done last evening, and
Capt Jose was given the privilege of
bringing before the board as witnesses
those he desired 60 summon.
Nearly all of the members of Engine
Company MOL appeared before the board
and gave their testimony, all being sub
jected to cross-examination on the mat
tiers in question. The board was in ses-
sion from half past seven O'Clock until
10 80 O'Clock. and at the close of the hear
ing voted to sustain their former action
and remove Capt. Jose from the depart
ment.
During the last few days great pressure
has been brought to bear by Capt. Jose's
friends to have him reinstated az COM
mander of Engine Company No. l, and
his removal has ocoasioned not little
stir in the Gre department and about the
city.

THE PROPER TIME

When the most benefit is to be derived
from a good medicine, is early in the
year. This is the season when the
tired body, weakened organs and nerv-
GUS system yearn for a buildingrup
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla.
Many wait for the open spring weather
and, in fact, delay giving attention to
their physical condition so long that
long siege of sickness is inevitable.
To rid the system of the impurities &C
cumulated during the winter season,
to purify the blood and to invigorate
the whole system, there is nothing
equal to Hoods Sarsaparilla. Don't
put it off, but take Hoods Sarsaparilla
now. 1t will do you good. Read the
testimonials published in behalf Of
Hoods Sarsaparilla, all form reliable,
grateful people. They tell the story.

About this time we read in tue Ottawa

use of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, which
gave us renewed hope. We procured
q couple of boxes, and before these
were all used, there was perceptible
improvement. After using six boxes
more she was entirely free from the
disease, and ~ you can see la en-
joyiDg the best of health. Several
months have passed since the use OF
the Pink Pills was discontinued, but
there has been no return OF the mala-
