CHURCHES WACINC
HOT CAMP AICN
Prohibition the Principal Issue
in Missouri

Kansas City, Nov. 4.-If prayers can
win an election Missouri will go over
whelmingly dry" next Tuesday. One
of the hottest campaigns the state has
ever had is closing this week with
prayer meetings in every Protestant
church, parades in every city of wo
men, children and men interested in
the prohibition cause, street corner
rallies more religious than political In
their nature, and days of fasting and
nightly services in city churches and
country schoolhouses.
With scarcely any exception every
church in the state will have special
services and prohibition sermons or
Sunday. Nor will all those end with
the big rallies to be held Monday night
by the prohibition workers. In the
cities the prohibitionists have engaged
storerooms or tents near the voting
places and will hold prayer meetings
all through the day for the prohibition
cause

NEW FACT ABOUT LINCOLN
TOLD BY HIS BODYGUARD.
Did Guard Leave His Post the Night
Lincoln Was Shot2

Colonel William III. Crook. who was
Lincolns bodyguard, brings up a new
point regarding the presidents assas-
sination in his recently published book
of "reminiscences, Through Five Ad-
ministrations" Colonel Crook writes:
II have often wondered why the neg
ligence Of the guard who accompanied
the president to the theater on the
night of the 14th has never been di-
vulged. So far as | know. it was not
even Investigated by the police de-
partment. Yet had he done his duty
/ believe President Lincoln would not
have been murdered by Booth. The
man was John Parker. 1t was the
custom for the guard who accompa-
MED the president to the theater to
remain in the little passageway out.
side the box-that passageway through
which Booth entered Mr.. Rucking
ham, who was the doorkeeper mt Ford's
theater, remembers that chair was
placed there for the guard on that
evening of the 14th. Whether Parker
occupied 1t mt all do not know. If he
did he left 1t almost Immediately. fol
he confessed To me the next day that
he went to a seat ut the front of the
first gallery so that he could see the
play. To me ii Is very probable thai
the fact that there was no one or
guard may have determined the time
of the attack"

RADIUM SUPPLY GROWS, AND
PRICE DROPS TO $2,10O,O00
Cornwall Mine. Found TO Contain the
Precious Substance.

Sir William Ramsay In a recent
London lecture stated that radium
now costs 100000 an ounce, the
drop In price from S3,0OO,0O0 being
due to the work In the pitchblende
mines of Cornwall. which Is showing
such satisfactory results that a con-
tinuous supply of radlum is absolutely
assured
In reference to the work at the
mines Sir William announces that up
to the present time $50 milligrams OF
pure radium have been produced at
the Trenwith mines, near st. Ives.
The process of the extraction Of ra-
dunn from the pitchblende employed
by Sir William Is SO rapid that the
amount of radium secured by this
method in two months would take q
year by the latest method used on the
continent
A year ago there was about quar-
ter of a pound of radium in the world.
A radium bank has existed for some
time in Paris. Recently one was es-
tablished In London. and similar In
stitutions are being founded In other
great cities. These banks lend the
precious substance to scientists and
physicians. The cost is enormous. AS
much as $500 has been charged for the
use Of 100 miIligrams for a single day

GULLET SEAT OF HUNGER Z
Italian Scientist Thinks Cooaine
Proves His Contention.


Whether the feeling of hunger has
its seat in the stomach and thirst In
the throat is a question that most peo-
pie take for granted but 1t has been
the subject Of much scientific contro-
versy. According to DR.. Valenti, an
Italian physician. the seat of both hun
ger and thirst is in the gullet.
In the Archivi di Biologia he pub
fishes an article dealing with an ex-
pertinent which he believes proves his
contention. He found that cocaine
injection in the upper part of the all
mentary canal resulted in instant sup
preston of the feeling Of both hun
ger and thirst He tried it on dog.
which refused to eat or drink for five
days. after which the drug had work
ed itself out
Savages. however, knew long before
DR.. Valenti that the chewing Of coca
leaves renders the gullet insensible
and kills any desire for food or drink.

CHINESE PANIC SPREADING
Financial Conditions Very Bad in Ce.

Victoria, b. c., Nov. 4.-The finan.

spread, according to advices brought
by the steamer Seattle Maru.
Following the closing of twenty
seven of Shanghai's foremost Chinese
banks thirty native bankers of Picking
are bankrupt and failures are report
ed from Tientsin, Hongkong and other
cities.
A Peking telegram to a japanese
newspaper says a revival of silver
circulation in China is likely as a re

favorable reception of Chinese bond!
in England and prospective foreign
loan will improve the situation.
