important factor in the mining of coal

and associates and the organization of
the present company. Following
the latter event, campaign of
development and improvement was
planned At first a thorough prospect

the result at all points of attack were
so satisfactory that the directors con-

Scotland has furnished TO the world
a royal galaxy of scientific men. She
has furnished to Utah a wideawake
man and a most useful citizen in the
person of Robert Forester, geologist
for the Utah Fuel company and for the
Rio Grande Western Railroad COM
pany. Because of his great activity
along scientific lines. and because of
what he has already accomplished,
especially I'm the development of coal
mines. Mr.. Forester is regarded as one
of the leading scientists of the entire
west. He has been a resident of Utah
for the past nineteen years, and GER
tainly he has made his impress on the
industrial development of the state in
that time.
Makes Good Start.
A brief sketch of this man should be
of general interest. He was born in
Balmalcolm. parish Of Kings Kettle,
County of Fife, Scotland, in 1854, on the
22d Of November, SO that he is but iS
years of age. He received his primary
education in the common school and
the science classes of West Calder.
Midlothian, Scotland. Later he attend
cd the Edinburgh university, that era
die of great scholars. While at the uni
versity young Forester made a spe-
cialty Of testing explosives, and made
a record along this line. In addition to
lis scientific studies in school, he had
splendid opportunities for the study OF
practical mining. He entered actively
into the profession of mining by enter
ing the mines in the neighborhood OF
West Calder, where he worked in all
departments of the mines, and in this
way added practical experience TO his
university work.
Why He Came to America.
1t seems that mining was the work
Mr.. Forester cut out for himself from
his youth. How closely be has adhered

object in coming to the United States

The Nevada-Douglas company's prop
critics are divided into two divisions
for the sake of convenience That DOR
ton designated as the main division
consists of twenty-nine lode claims
and from which 1,160 tons of ore were
shipped in the early part of 1905. The
product was obtained from the Doug

Velopment has been centered. The par
ticular place from which the ore was
obtained was given the name of

Marvellous Cures Made by
The Remedies. Dozens
Of Testimonials.
A LADY'S STATEMENT.
Suffered For Forty Years
From Stomach and Fe-
male Troubles.

To say that this city is in the
midst of excitement beyond anything
it has known for years, is expressing
it lightly, was the remark made by
a travelling man in the presence Of a
reporter in the lobby of one of the
principal hotels.
The cause Of this most unusual
commotion is the result of the al
most miraculous cures wrought by
the use of the Haas celebrated
Shaker Remedies that are now be-
ing introduced in this locality. Peo-
pie in this place had heard of the
wonderful cures made elsewhere,
but until they were actually intro
duced here, little attention was paid
them, however, after little over
weeks introduction here, people
have become beside themselves with
I excitement. Just when all this fer
vor will cease it's a matter of con-
lecture. However it must be said in
justice to the remedies they seem 20
be accomplishing a great deal of
good.
{ Mrs. Hattie Stephens said, upon
being interviewed, that for a num-
Der of years l have been suffering
with vertigo, swimming in the head
in the morning, stomach and female
troubles, the last of which was caused
by the birth of my child over four
years ago. My health in the past
had been most miserable indeed; not
sick enough to go to bed; not well
enough to be up; have tried many
different remedies. none of which
ever cured me. When the Shaker
Remedies came here and | heard

to give them a trial and now with

preparations that ever gave me any
relief. l cheerfully recommend

A Correction.
EDITOR KENTUCKIAN:

ELL Oh hEIN OOh1A4N.
Several persons have asked me
the meaning of the statement in the
Kentuckian of Tuesday that have
brought suit for $4,000 against DR..
Preston Thomas and Prentice Mer-
Ger for their refusal to let me "oc-
cupy the Mercer homestead, now the
property of Premise Mercer"
This statement confounds two dis
tinct and separate facts. The suit
for damages is brought for a violent
assault Upon myself and wife, who
Is related by blood and marriage
with many of the best families of
this county, entering our bedroom
and expeIling us by force at 10
o'clock at night and compelling us
TO walk one mile to town, after re-
fusing us the privilege of telephon-
ing for hack.
The second error is that the Mer-
Ger homestead is now the property
Of Prentice Mercer" Not at all.
He has been since the death of my
first wife tenant through my cour-
tesy and tolerance.

GERMAN HEART TOO LARGE.

Doctor of That Country Tells OF OBJ
nervatfons at Olympian Games.
A German medical man publishes
some interesting comparisons made at
the Olympian games respecting the
size and stamina of the heart OF the
English. American and German CON-
petitors respectively. DR.. Smith says
that as soon as he examined before the
games the hearts of German sportsmen
he could prophesy that they woulo
prove no formidable rivals. The size
of the heart was so abnormally great
that In contests requiring strength, en-
orgy and endurance it was physically
impossible that they should succeed
Results proved the truth Of this fore
cast and 1t Is notable that the few
German athletes who did win places
were in possession Of the minimum
sized hearts.
In the American sportsmen the heart
conditions were In striking contrast to
those of the Germans. Many OF the
American athletes were found to pos
sess hearts smaller in dimensions than
the smallest heart ever measured In
German hospital. An invincible
sprinter possessed the smallest heart
! among the American competitors. A
German american athlete, rather sig
nificantly, was found to have the
largest.
Among the Englishmen examined the
heart was found to be slightly larger
than that Of the Americans, though
smaller than that shown by any othel
nation. A parallel case which occurred
at the games strikingly illustrated the
difference in form between the English
and the German athletes. In spite o
an indisposition a German athlete tool
mart in a certain contest. Subsequen
examination proved that his heart hat
increased at the end Of the struggE
70 double its previous size. An En-
plishman. suffering from the same In
, ldisposition, returned from the contes
, ga winner and his heart had becom
smaller. The writer points out tina
, by a wrong system Of training and In
iudicious living German athletes ar
> doing much to cultivate heart an
! nerve complaints on serious scale.

Joke ON the Professor.

The scholarly william E. Byerly,
nrcfessor of mathematics at Harvard.
was once asked by student how to de-
velop a retentive memory. The pro-
fessor answered that ordinary mental
exercise was sufficient to secure a
good memory, whereat the student ask
ed If he might test the mental capacity
Of his instructor. Professor Byerly
agreed and the student asked him to
listen to and remember several varied
items for test He began:
"One quart OF whisky"
"Uml" said the professor.
"Six pounds Of sugar, pint Of sour
milk, three onions, half gallon Of mo.
Iasses and two raw eggs"
"Uml" said the professor.
Two green apples, twenty-six pea
nuts, one and a half cucumbers and
| four minee pies"
"Um!" said the professor.
"a package Of starch. sixty-sever
cakes of yeast and the skins Of sever

tf..nticated Incident Is cited to prove It
Three young orioles were captured and
were Immediately Gagged and the cage
was hung in tree. The mother soon
came. calling to the little ones, and In
a little while she brought them some
worms. She continued for several days
TO feed them, without paying much at
tention to the persons who were about,
but one day she brought them sprig
os green In the morning, and disap-
peared. In less than an hour the young
birds were dead. An examination OF
the sprig showed that 1t was the deadly
larkspur, which, 1t Is said, will Kill
fuIl-grown cattle. There is, OF course,
a possibility that the mother brought
them the sprig by mistake, but to be-
lieve that would be to doubt the pro-
tective instinct that naturalists attrib
ute to birds and animals.

How 70 walk Upstairs.

Perhaps 1t has never occurred to the
boys and girls that there Is good way
and a bad way to walk upstairs Hear
what a well-known physician says
about 1t. There are few persons who
know how to walk upstairs properly.
Usually a person will tread on the ball
of his foot In taking each step, spring
ing himself up to the next step. This
is not only tiresome, but is wearing on
the muscles, as 1t throws the entire
suspended weight OF the body on the
legs and the feet. In walking upstairs
the feet should be places squarely down
on the step, heel and all, and then the
ascent should be made without hurry
In this way there will be no strain
on any particular muscle, but each Will
do its work in a natural manner.

may end their captivity. This Is hard
