A counteIfeiter Sentenced.


ALOulsNlllt Iost'l
DIR. j. w. jenkins, the counterfeit
err, was brought before Judge Barr in
the United States District Court this
morning to show cause, if any, why
he should not be sentenced for manu-
featuring silver coin and passing the
same among his neighbors and
friends in Webster county, Ky. DIR.
jenkins was a practicing physician
in that county in 1885, when arrested
for making spurious coin. He gave
bond and ran away to Texas, but was
brought back at this term of court
convicted, but stood his sentence of
until to-day on the representation
that he had other evidence TO offer
but in this he failed, and Judge Bari
proceeded to sentence him.
DIR. jenkins is about sixty years o
age and lived at Dawson Springs ant
Sebree City for years, and was min
lister of the gospel as well as a prac
ticing physician and school teacher a
times. 1t was in evidence that b
used his son TO pass counterfeit mon
ey at campmeeting while he wa
exholting.
Judge Barr told the prisoner h
had given him every chance to SHOW
his innocence, but he believed from a
the surroundings and circu instance
that he was guilty. He then said
at is the judgement of the court tina
You be taken TO the Columbus 20
penitentiary and there confined
hard labor for a period of four year
and that you be fined SO"
DIR. Jenkins, when approached by
reporter of the Post for some poin
in his history, said he did not desire
have anything to say to the represel
tative of this paper.

Strict cleanliness is the principal thing to

customary with some. This practice in

more than any one would suppose. Use the
wooden toothpick, of which there are two
kinds, the sharp pointed and the fiat pointed.
The first is all very well if it does not split,
leaving small splinter between the teeth or
under the gums, which is very disagreeable,
if not actually painful. For this reason the
