Al present children in the public

children Of members Of that church
or Of Baptist, Methodist or others

Gus laws, many members Of other
churches having gone 10 prison for a
few days or weeks rather than pay
taxes 10 support such teaching. A
few days ago the House OF Commons
Of the English Parliament passed a

Coal Prsaactiop OF Kentucky In 1908.


Each year since 1896 the coal pro-
duction OF Kentucky has shown an
increase in quantity, until in 1905
the output was two and half times
that of 1895. Itamounted to s, 432, 52S
short tons, which had a value ON the
spot OF $S,335,5S2
Kentusky's coal product is drawn
from two great coal fields, one in the
eastern and one in the western part
OF the State. The total area under
lain by coal in the eastern counties
OF the State is estimated at 11,l80
square miles. The coal. bearing areas
in the western part OF she State are
estimated 10 contain $500 square
miles, OF somewhat more than one
half of that of the eastern part OF the
State. Up to the close Of 1904 the
western district, however, produced
considerably more than half the total
output OF the State, but the recent
developments in Pike, johnson, and
other counties OF the eastern portion
of Kentucky lead TO the impression
that the production in the eastern
district win soon exceed that Of the
western.
Tho data here given are taken from
forthcoming report of Mr.. f. W.
Parker, statistician Of the United
States Geological Survey, on the pro.
duction Of coal in 1905.

years will remember Mr.. Huntress.
He was at one time M. E. minister

their home for good many years.
While here their only son died. The
wife died few years ago in st. Paul.
Two daughters, Mrs. B. A. Daniels
and Miss Ada Huntress reside in St.
Paul.
The family was highly respected,
Mr.. Huntress was eccentric in some
ways but man of deep thought and
a good deal of literary ability. He
built the Lake Shore House and was
the proprietor for several years.
For number of years Mr.. Hun!ress
has been an inmate of the Soldiers
Home and was always glad to meet
his Sank Centre friends. He died at
ripe old age.

stomach and liver, was finally told by
his physicians that an operation would
be necessary to save his life. With the

had carried him safely through his

fused his consent. That was some
weeks ago. When seen recently he
was much better and gave this state
ment for publication. 81 did not be-

An Old Sank Centreite Dies.

Died of pneumonia on Sunday,
Nov. 25th, Mrs. Oils r. Heath OF
Clearwater, Mimi, aged 81 years.
Mrs. Slattery was one of the women
who with their families occupied
homes in the "Stockade" during the
Indian outbreak. Mr.. Slattery was a
soldier of the civil war and died in
service. His widow with . large
family of small children was left
with little but her own hands to care
for this family. She was brave and
true, good mother, she kept her
children together and cheerfully work
ed for them. Her patient cheerful
disposition was lesson to all her
friends and neighbors.
After number of years she was
married to Otis r. Heath, who was a
widower with five children. Her own
were nearly all grown, and to these
stepchildren she gave the same care
as to her own. Mr.. Heath built, and
with his family lived for many years
in the house now owned by Post
master BOobar. He was carpenter
by trade and helped to build the old
Congregational church and many of
the other older buildings of our town.
The Heaths moved to Clearwater a
good many years ago and that has
been their home ever since. About
two years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Heath
were both too feeble to care for their
home and they decided each to live
with their own children, Mr.. Heath
going west to his daughters. Mrs.
Heath made her homie with her
daughter, Mrs. Heaton, in Clearwater.
She was buried from this home on
Monday afternoon of this week. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Heath were among the
charter members of the Congrega-
tional church of Sank Centre and her
funeral was conducted by the minister
of that denomination at Clearwater.
She was q consistent Christian, a
faithful wife and mother and a good
neighbor. The old friends will
sympathize with the sorrowing re-
latives.

The scholar sat in his study before

Presently the maid opened the door

EXPENSIVE GREEN TURTLE.

Its Unequaled Flesh Often Brings
Fifty Dollars a Pound.
The flesh of the green turtle often
brings $50 pound" said an oyster
dealer. This rich meat comes to US
from the coral reefs of the West In
dies
The turtles are caught in nets
among the rocks. They are very care
fully brought north. They are deck
passengers at first, but as the weather
grows cold with the ships progress
they are penned in warm rooms below
regular staterooms.
It's different treatment that they
get, though, at the natives hands. II
a native is bringing turtles north he
nails them fast to the deck by their
flippers. Strange creatures that they
are, they seem to suffer little under
such cruel treatment.
The calipee and calipash are re-
spectively the flesh from the breast
and back of the green turtle, tid-bits
which l have heard epicures say are
unequaled in the earth beneath, the
heavens above or the waters under
the earth. This meat is superlatively
rich, delicate and tender. Live green
turtle fetches wholesale from dime
to a quarter a pound.
What makes the meat so expensive
in the end is that out of a 140-pound
fish you'll only get two pounds OF
calipee and one of calipash. Several
times when there has been a tight
turtle market the chefs of millionaires
and of certain extravagant hotels
have offered me 81 pound for live
turtles At that rate your calipee and
calipash would come to quite $50 a
pound.
