i, +, Parker, general attorney
of the Frisco System, Yesterday
definitely ann Dunccd his candidacy
for the United States Senate, TO
succeed Francis Marion Cockr,lI.
This makes three men in the
race Mr. Parker Thos X Med
riughau> aud Il E. krrrns No
one couvrrsant with politics doubts
that these three men can make
things very interesting
Colonel Parker was delegate at.
large to the National Convention
at Chicago aud the chairman of the
Missouri delegation. Ia the past
he has always been friend to
State Chairman Atkins. lending him
much assistance ia the lattcr's uu-
mrrous fights for control Of the or
guuilatiou. Through the country
south Of the river, Colonel Parker
ms Il large number Of friends. His
position rs member Of the Missouri
World 5 Fair Commission has also
placed him where he has done many
favors to the people who count in
politics
Former National Committeeman
X, {, kerrus is in the fight to win
The prospect of his winning is the
worst enemy which the new organ
l2atlon must fight. Only when he
was eliminated for politics has there
been Il chance for the party in
This State. Working strictly on
capitallStic lines, his strength is of
II sort that makes it dangerous for
his opporonts.
john II (Flrc Alarm) Flana-
gan Of Carthage was in the city
yesterday looking over the situa-
ton. His support will probably
go to kcrrnS through their we'll
known affiliations. Flanagan spent
three months in jefferson City at
the last session working for the
railroads, knows everybody. and is
IA most practical sort OF II wire
pulIrr.
one peculiar feature of the con
test is the east with which the
kcreus people have been able to
spring district candidates for the
honor. Charles &. Burton of Ne
yadu is the latest TO announce him
self. He has always been Ker.
ems man, and it is thought that his
name has been brought forward
for no other reason than TO tie up
the six members of his Congress
slOnal district. Outside of his dis
trict his name will not be consid.
cred. Ills candidacy is considered
one OF the impOstions of the cam.
palgn that is done simply to keep
the six members. elect Of the Fiji
teenth District from declaring for
other men.
The announcement that Major
John Il. Bittinger of st. Joseph
had come ont for kcrens is not un-
expected. He belongs to the old
crowd that trained with Kerens
during the iatter's power in Mis-
souri,. st. Joseph has always been
battle-ground for the cotton socks
and silk stockings.
While Bttingcr has announced
his candidacy for speaker, there are
votes in the st. Joseph Republican
delegation that cannot be delivered
to kercns under any consideration.
John Albus, Jr., would about as
soon jump into the Missouri river
as vote for kerens.
Friends of Chairman Niedring-
hans yesterday announced .ha; they
had received n number of letters
and kilograms from out in the State
pledglng support to him for the
Senate A number of postmasters
have already jumped in with the
Niedrlnghaus proposition, doubt
less figuring that if he is to be the
next Senator his friendship would
be more than worth while.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Address and Experiments With RadIum by
William ]. Hammer of New York.

No meeting held by the Commercial
club has eaualled I'm many respects that
OF last Saturday night The club assem-
bled at the Wellington aud after partak-
ing OF an exceptionally good dinner was
addressed by William J. Hammer OF New
York. whose subject was 'Radium auo
Its Remarkable Properties"
Mr.. Hammer Is a recognized authority
on radum, having written the only book
relative TO that metal that has been pub
Hshed. His address was intensely inter
estng. for by the use OF a large array
OF apparatus he conducted experiment
after experiment, producing wonderful
effects as various metals and substances
were subjected TO the Influence OF ra-
dium.
After the meeting was adjourned Mr..
Hammer was surrounded by club mem
bers who desired information along lines
that had suggested themselves during the
progress of the address and IL was 1e 20
Sunday morning before the gentlemen re-
luctantly ceased questioning HIM.
Mr.. Hammer told hts spell-bound audit
ence how I'm 1896 Professor Henrs Boc-
queril exposed a sulphate OF uranium 10
Photographic plate and secured a mega
tive. although the plate had not been
exposed TO any light.
This suggested new field OF study into
WulC1n lne professor Ne1lIured ana dLsCON-
cred what are today known as Becaueril
rays.
Uranium is found in ptcibiende, which
is obtained in Colorado. New York and
North Carolina and In some European
countries. IL takes 5000 tons Of uranium
TO make 2 1 pounds OF radium Tho cost
OF handling these residues is S2 900 a ton,
making the cost OF chemically pure pro-
duct ST. 5000 per pound.
Radium is sure test for diamonds,
making them phosphorescent while spur
ious stones give out no responsive rays.
II kills micro-organisms and IL is almost
sure 10 kill au..an being II exposed TO
its influence for some time.
Mr.. Hammer said he had been burned
by reason of having in his pocket some
OF the salts of radium which were In
tube. which I'm turn was inside two boxes
that had been wrapped I'm thick paper.
That radium had the power to cure or
TO aid in the cures OF disease had been
proved beyond all question.
