DEMOCRATS FIGHT TO LAST In Attempts to Force Adjournment, They Fight and Try to Drag the Speaker Frpm Chair Kerens Declares for Warner. . JEFFERSON CITT, Mo., March IS. After having been In a deadlock since January 18 over the election of a United States Senator to succeed Francis - M. Cockrcll, the Legislature at 15 minutes before final adjournment today elected Major "William Warner, Republican, of Kansas City. Seven ballots in Joint ses sion iv ere taken today in effecting a de cision, and the closing scenes of the Leg islature have not been paralleled in the history of Missouri politics. "When It be came evident that "Warner -would be the choice, the Democrats, who bad stead fastly supported Cockrcll throughout, locked horns with the Republicans, who were split among the caucus nominee, Thomas K. Nledrlngbaus, Richard C. Kerens and over a score of other nomi nees, and the Assembly Chamber became a place of general riot. Efforts wero made to prevent a rollcall on the seventh ballot, several attempted to tear the presiding officer from the chair, and the Democrats tried to effect an adjournment without election. The time for sine die adjournment had been set for 3 o'clock, by concurrent resolu-, tion. and as the hour approached the clock was smashed in the melee. Amid an uproar that almost baffled control at times, the seventh ballot of the day was taken, resulting in the election pf Major Warner. The vote stood: Warner. 91; Cockrell, S3; Niedringhaus. J. The total vote was 175, making SS necessary to a choice, and Warner re ceived three votes more than a majority. Hot Speeches on Opening Ballot. When the first ballot was begun, the 61st since the opening of the session, the Niedringhaus men, in pursuance of plans agreed on early in the day, sup ported Major Warner, of Kansas City, almost solidly. "It is time to elect a Senator." declared Representative Detweiler. of Laclede, in casting his ballot. "I hardly know whom to vote for. but I will vote for Major William Warner." Representative Godfrey, of St. Louis, followed for Warner. Then Representa tive Grace took the floor, and. after talk ing at some length in explanation of his position, he exclaimed: "I wish to say that I Intend to vote for that grand old man, Richard C. Kerens, until Hades freezes over, and if it should freeze I would skate on the ice." President McKInley remarked, after the Kerens demonstration had subsided, that Grace, had probably "got it out of his system." Every mention of Warner's name drew forth enthusiastic applause. Representa tive Thompson declared Niedringhaus had pleaded with him for an hour earlier to day to vote for Warner, which he had finally consented to do. Attempt at Stampede Fails. The ballot resulted: Cockrell S3, War ner 54, Niedringhaus 22, Kerens 5, Barth oldt J, Peck 1. Total voting, 175; neces sary to choice, SS. A second ballot wfes taken, resulting: Cockrell S3. Warner G6, Niedringhaus 4, Kerens 20, Peck 1. Parker 1. Fever heat marked the taking of the third ballot. Representative Allen, in casting his vote, said: "The eyes of the people are fixed upon this Assembly. Are we going home with out having elected a United States Sena tor?" Cries of "No, no." resounded. The third ballot resulted: Cockrell S3. Warner 68, Niedringhaus 3, Kerens 20, Peck 1. On the fourth ballot Lewis went from Warner to Kerens. In taking the fifth ballot much excite ment was occasioned by Representative Walmsley, of Kansas City, changing his vote from Kerens to Warner after the roll call had finished. An attempt im mediately followed by the Warner sup porters to stampede the Assembly for Warner but it failed. The fifth ballot: Cockrell S3. Warner 68, Niedringhaus 4, Kerens 19, Peck 1. When tho vote was announced. Repre sentative Nelson, a Democrat, moved to adjourn. The Republicans hooted him down. The sixth ballot then proceeded. Kerens appeared in the hall at 1:50 and was escorted to the rostrum by Senator Peck. The sixth ballot: Cockrell S3, Warner 67, Kerens 13, Niedringhaus 5, Peck 1. Tho Democrats clamored to dissolve the session. Republicans shouted "No, no I Quiet! Orderl" There was wild cheering as Kerens took the rostrum. Senator Mc- Davld. Democrat, moved that the Joint assembly dissolve. This was met with a chorus of "noes, i The roll call was then taken on the motion to dissolve. The Warner managers announced positively that Kerens would withdraw in favor of their candidate. Kerens remained on the stand during the roll call on the motion to dissolve. Tho motion was lost, 92 to S2, President Mc KInley not voting. AVhen this vote was announced there were repeated calls for Kerens. For two minutes the spectators cheered as the white-haired Republican veteran stepped forward to address the assembly. He -cald: Kerens Declares for Warner. "Your duty is to elect a Republican Senator. Therefore, if Major William Warner is your choice, I say Godspeed to you, my fellow-Republicans, and elect 'nlm." Pandemonium reigned when Colonel Ke rens concluded. The Warner men became frantic Senator Dickinson was finally recognized. He moved a recess of SO min utes. Kerens left the rostrum Immediate ly after speaking. The roll call was taken on Dickinson's motion. Dickinson's motion to take a recess was lost by a vote of 92 to 77. Riot Breaks Loose. Senator McDavid and a score of Demo crats then demanded recognition on a mo tion to adjourn. They climbed on the desks of the clerks, appealing from the ruling of the chair, shouting to the clerks not to call the roll. Roach refused to call the roll. A fight started In one end of the hall, resulting in the smashing of the clock. Russell took the roll call out of Roach's hands and called the roll htm self. The Republicans voted for Warner. Senators Nelson and Klnealy. of St. Louis, tried to pull the presiding officer out of the chair. The Democrats refused to vote. The Assembly was in a riot. The Democratic leaders yelled: "Don't vote; don't vote." f Somebody climbed a ladder; and made the oamagea ciock read 3 o'clock, ad Journment time.

I am free from piles today, and have been since using Pyramid Pile Cure. I was Captain In the Civil War." James Adams, Soldiers' Home, Cal. The majority of people labor under the Impression that an operation is necessary in severe cases of plies, or hemorrhoids. and are very skeptical regarding the rem edial virtues of any medicinal compound. Testimony like the above should certainly have a tenaency to dispel this impression. although It is odd that such a fallacy should prevail, and still more odd that so many people should think an operation effects a permanent cure, whereas the con trary-is more often the case.
