HUNTER WITHDRAws,

He Sends mmunicatfOn to the
Kentucky Republican Legislators.
The republicans of the Kentucky legis-
latcre held a caucus at Frankfort. KY,
last night and received the following COM
munication from DR.. w. G. Hunter:
Some weeks ago you conferred upon me
the distinguished honor of the nomination
for United States senator. Bearing that
commission from you, 1 have labored from
day to day assduously and zealously to
reach an election to that high trust bat
my labor las been fruitless and without
avail
political aLimcsities on the one hand, join
ed with Jealousies and dissensons among
those claiming to be Of my own political
faith, worked together to compass my de-
feat on every ballot. These things are
known of all men.
las a loyal republican. L recognize that
our party is infinitely greater than any
man. For the success and growth of our
party in Kentucky in the future: for the
contamination of the policies of the re-
publican administration just being iEaugu-
rated. republican senator from Kentucky
should be elected. L viii not stand in the
way of such result, but / would rather
work to cooperate with you in all laudable
ways to bring il about.
ITO that end l have requested that you
be called together that / might make to
you this communication and return TO you
the nomination which you so generously
gave me five weeks ago. / DO this in order
that you may at once select, if possible
some one among the many distinguished
and worthy republicans of our state, on
whom all can unite and whose election
may thus be assured.
Thanking You again for your kindness
and confidence, desire to formally return
to You the nomination you gave me and to
withdraw from the senatorial race"
Mr.. FliDpin introduced a resolution that
in accepting the withdrawal of Dr. Hunter
the republicans renew their expressions of
confidence in his ability, integrity and de-
votion to republican principles, and offer
ing him sympathy in view of the persecu-
tons which had teen visited upon him.
This was adopted with dissent from those
known as the boiling republicans.
Mr.. Howard of the Deboe-Hunter side,
moved to proceed TO the nomination Of a
senator. Mr.. w. II. Morgan, a supporter
of Judge Holt, counseled caution and pro-
posed a postponement for a few days. Mr..
Burnam also thought a little delay would
do no harm. Mr.. Howard, for the De-
Doe side, insisted OIL Immediate action.
Things finally got warm, and Mr.. Liberth
said Mr. Deboe has teen given advan-
tage by Or. Hunter in being allowed to
clect.onecr, while Judge Holt could not
consistently do SO. Finally, after two
hours debate. motion to adjourn until
tonight was carried.

February list on Issuing $4O,-
900 Bonds
For the Erection Of New High School and
Extensions.
Board of Education Hold an Interesting
Meeting Monday Night and VIII Ask
the People for Authority to
Issue Bonds to Above
Amount.

Monday evening the Board of Educa-
tion met at the Office of Superintendent
w. w. Boyd and took up the matter OF
the present inadequate quarters for the
High School A spirited and thoroug h
discussion of the subject followed.
The proposition of the Trustees of
the College to rent Andrews Hall for
public school purposes was considered
and rejected on the grounds of econo'
my. 1t was estimated that it would
cost $4,000 per year more to maintain
the school in Andrews Hall than IL
does in the present quarters.
Before the meeting adjourned the
Board adopted resolution calling a
special election for February 1st, upon
which date the people will be asked to
vote upon the question of issuing bonds
to the amount of $40, for school
building purposes.
This amount contemplates the erec-
tion of a handsome modern high school
building, sufficiently large for the
needs of the city for many years to
come, to be erected at Il cost of some
thing over S25 900. The balance of the
fund is to be used for additions and eS-
tensions to present buildings, especial
ly on the West Side, and perhaps an
entire new building in the Fourth
ward,
The unprecedented growth of the
city during the past few years has
rendered entirely inadequate the eX-
isting accommodations for the educa-
tion of the young and it appears that
nothing but new buildings will relieve
the crowded condition of every school
room in the city and take care of the
overflow. The High School especially
is taxed far beyond what should be
reasonably eXpecsed of it and the
sooner it is unplaced by a commodious
structure the better it will be for the
health and education of the city's
youth,

HOW $500 VOLTS FEEL.
That Is III the Shock Doesn't Kill You
Outright.

That Is I lne SnOcR hlI
Outright.
The following details of a recent cleo
tric accident are interesting, and may
be useful. November 20 an electrical
engineer was standing on Il chair ready
to move a reversing switch on the arc
lamp side of a rectifier for lighting 4
series of 60 lamps $1,000 volts). He
casually placed his hand ON the metal
cover of an ammeter (Which was III
series with another G0-lamp circuitl,
and, turning to the left and leaning
back to make an observation (stili
standing on the chair, he placed his
left hand on an iron pillar. Now, the
nmmeter case proved to be in metallic
contact (accidcntaD with the light
leads, and as the return wire was
''earthed' there played through the
hcdy from hand to hand a current un.
der pressure of normally 5000 volts.
AS a matter of fact, the electro-motive
force tested between the points of con-
tact by Kelvin electrostatic volt meter
proved TO be $500 volts.
He says that the first thing he realized
was that he found himself standing on
the floor, but has no clear idea us to
whether he jumped off or was knocked
Off" The forearm was drawn up close
to the chest" and the hands clinched.
From little above the elbow down he
described Il feeling Of pulsation' and
violent beating in exact step with the
alternators running SO periods per sec
ond). All power of movement below
the elbow was absolutely lost but the
arm at the shoulder could he moved
from the side. The pulsations, al
though still retaining their periodicity,
soon became less violent, and motor
power returned successfully in the
muscles that move the elbow, wrist and
fingers. In three minutes he felt none
the worse" There was no sensation OF
burning at the moment, but ten min
utes aftcrward the hands became pain
ful, and examination showed "A burn on
the tip of the left middle and ring
fingers and on the back of the right lit
tie and ring fingers, with n scared line
across the lower portion Of the palm.
There has been no other effect except
ing that he expresses himself as feeling
decidedly better in general health"
Which current did the body receive?
With the contacts named, | estimate
that the resistance of the body might be
10 600 ohms.-London Lancet.

1t was an anxious and eager lot of
folks that asse IN Oled in the big new

Company to see their monster gas en-

A gas engine in the ordinary is hard

coax it into motion. When it did go,
it soon struck gait of $50 revolutions

MYSTERIOUS EGYPTIAN LAKE.
singular Body of Water from Which
Egypt Draws Its Salt.

Singular BODY or water from WnlCn
Egypt Draws Its Salt
During the reign of Said Pasha a
causeway was built across the Lake of
Mareotis with the result that the west
crn portion of the lake became highly
impregnated with salt, while the east
ern part remained as formerly, only
slightly bracliish. Scientists are not
satisfied as to the source of the i'm
mense quantity of salt contained in the
lake, and some have conjectured an un-
derground passage from the sea. How
ever, there is no visible channel by
which the sea water might enter, and
as one can ride all around it, it is to all
intents and purposes q lake.
Its length is about nine miles and its
breadth four, and il furnishes the en-
tire salt supply for Egypt. a minia-
ture railway runs from the workshops
to the lake, where the salt is cut and
trucks filled by gangs of Bedouins, who,
during the season, are kept at work day
and night At the work shops the salt
is ground and packed, and from there
distributed all over the country.
AS one stands on the thick crust OF
salt near the shore, which stretches rs
far as the eye can see, one feels exactly
as if standing on n field of ice, and in adj
dition to the dazzling whiteness of the
salt, it's beauty is enhanced by pinl;
tinge, which, at the edges of the lake
deepens to mauve. The cause of this
color is also a matter of conjecture, and
has been attributed to minute organ
isms contained in the salt; whatever its
origin, it fades as the salt becomes dry
but while damp the effect of the impris-
oned color is indescribably lovely.
To get an entirely different phase OF
the sight one must ride over the cause
way. Here one has the ice field on tho
right and on the left the ripping blue
Mmeotis. About half way across, where
the lake is deeper and the salt crust has
not formed, the scene changes. The
water has the still and heavy look of the
Dead sea, but unlike the latter, which
looks like molten brass, this milky lake
with the clouds and the blue sky re-
fiected in it might be likened to a vast
opal, and the setting sun, throwing a
fiery ball into its depths, completes tile
similitudc.
This enchanting scene, however, is
evanescent. AS the salt is formed by
evaporation, it is only during the hot
summer months that this can take place,
and with the first autumn rain the pic
ture fades away, and the sparkling ice
field resolves itself into placid lake of
blue.--London Telegraph.
