stin More Counterfeiting.

The Secret Service has unearthed an
other band of counterfeiters and secured
a large quantity of bogus bills, which are
SO cleverly executed that the average per-
son would never suspect them of being
spurious. Things of great value are al
ways selected by counterfeiters for imi-
tation, notably the celebrated Hostetter' s
Stomach Bitters which has many imita-
tors but no equals for indigestion, dys-
pepsia, constipation, nervousness and
general debility. The Bitters sets
things right in the stomach, and
when the stomach is in good order it
this manner the Bitters get at the seat
of strength and vitality, and restore vigor
to the weak and debilitated. Beware Of
counterfeiters when buying.

Is that article cheapest which may be

We would believe so if referring to

different. Coffee at no matter what

perfect satisfaction at all times. The

err the satisfaction it affords, and the

The Best Law School.

We call especial attention to the ad-

celebrated Lebanon Law School. This
is perhaps the oldest law school in the
south, and certainly the most famous.
Its graduates have filled the highest
offices in the country. They have been
and are United States senators, and
congressman by the score, judges of
the United States supreme court and
other federal courts, and are on the
supreme benches of Tennessee, Ala
bama, Florida and elsewhere, to say
nothing of the many judges of inferior
courts. A diploma from this old law
school is a passport to amp point in the
profession.

CAPT. |. T. JOBE JAILED
CHARGED WITH FRAUDULENTLY OBJ
TANNING TRANSPORTATION
To Send Soldiers to Their Homes in the
South


New York, June 0,-Tsaac T. Jobe,
formerly captain of the Sixth United
States volunteer infantry (immuncs) is
under arrest hero charged with fraud-
ulently obtaining transportation over
the Pennsylvania and Baltimore and
Ohio railroads, representing that he
was acting for Col. Kimball, deputy
acknowledgement here, who de-
sired to send returned soldiers to their
homes in the west and south. The or
ders for transportation were, it is al
legged, subsequently sold to scalpers.
Jobe is said to have represented him
self as Captain Guard, Nineteenth in
fantry. He is said to have been at one
time mayor of johnson City, Tenn,
and few years ago was clerk of con-
gressional committee. He waived ex-
animation today and was sent to jail to
await the action of the grand jury.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
The New York correspondent of the
Baltimore Sun writes that paper as fol-
ltws:
'Isaac 7. Jobe, recently n captain of
the Sixth Immmes, was held for trial
by United States Commissioner Alex
ander today on a charge of swindling
the government by disposing of orders
for tickets given by a Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio railroad pas
sengef agent in return for orders pur-
porting to be signed by Captain Guard
OF the Nineteenth Infantry, who was
authorized ia sign such orders. BY
these fraudulent orders Jobe is said to
have secured % tickets to various
Western cities from the Pennsylvania
road and Is to Columbus from the Bal
timore and Ohio. Tho orders were
sold to ticket scalpers."
The friends of "Ike" in this city
were very much panied to learn of this
trouble and will await the result with
interest. Since he left the army he
had been lost sight of and this is the
first heard of him in several months.
He went to Covington and other points
in Kentucky, and organized Company
A, of Col. Tyson's regiment. He was
found to be incompetent, as a company
commander, and was assigned to other
duties. He was examined twice, and
after the report of the last board was
made, he retired from the army. He
had had no previous military expert
ence. No charge was made against
his private character.
After returning to the United States
from Porto Rico, Capt. Jobe obtained
employment with the army as a civil
ian, and was for awhile stationed at
Columbus, Ohio. 1t was supposed
that he was still in the government en-
ploy and was going to Manila.
