Many children do not assimi-

hence they need this easy fat

Scenes Brought About by the Change Of 6
vote--Lively Times Expected.
FRANKFORT, KY, Feb. 4.-The roll
call disclosed the presence of 12f
members in the joint assembly today
Senator Hayward voted for Buckner
Holloway for McCreary and Stone TO,
Evans. When the name of Mr.. Jones
(Dem.) of Floyd who had been voting
for cCreary and other Sound mon
ey" Democrats, was reached, he arose
and made short statement reviewing
his reasons for his course up to the
present time in refusing to vote for
Senator Blackburn, but declaring that
the crisis had been reached. He was
almost ready to announce his vote fol
Blackburn when Lieutenant Governor
Worthington, who was in the chair,
raped the Floyd county member to
order, ruling his remarks out of order.
A sharp spat then passed between
Senator Bronston and the lieutenant
governor On Senator Bronston's in,
sisting that the Floyd county member
had the right to explain his vote.
Several representatives Joined in the
defense of the presiding officer.
Mr.. Bronston said the lieutenant
governor had exceeded his authority
and he made a fiery speech in which
he hurled defiance into the faces OF
the Republican side.
The lieutenant governor replied that
he would not be intimidated by the
remarks of the senator from Fayette.
Senator Bronston then denounced
as untrue the statement that he had
undertaken to intimidate the chair,
and with much feeling invited the
lieutenant governor to come down
from the chair and give his place to
some one who would preside with
fairness.
The Democrats crowded around Sem
ator Bronston and the Republicans
around the lieutenant governor and
the most intense excitement prevailed.
The wal of words finally passed Oft
byMr. Johns being allowed to finish
his speech and after brief explanation
he cast his vote for Senator Blackburn.
Rice also voted for Blackburn. The
ballot resulted: Hunter 62; Black
burn Sc; scattering 8.
Serious trouble may occur at tomor-
rows joint session if the house Re-
publicans unseat Tompkins and Kauf'
man as it is stated they intend to do.
1t is said that within five minutes after
the unseating the senate Democrats
have arranged to expel four Republi,
can senators, appoint extra doorkeep'
ers to keep them out of the joint ses.
sion, and then take ballot for United
States senator. Ladies are warned to
keep away tomorrow.
