Now, Seney is not, as several thou

an automobile ever had passed through
Seney and unlikely that one ever
would, and none OF the leading citi.

DRUG STORE FIRE
HARD ONE TO
FIGHT
Department Called Out Early
Sunday Morning
DAMAGE NOT ESTIMATED
Goods in Cellar Completely Ruined
and Stock in Store Damaged
BY Smoke
DAMAGE NOT ESTIMATED

An alarm was rung in shortly af-
ter o'clock Sunday morning for
fire in the cellar of Thompsons drug
store on Main street The fire was
discovered by Chief OF Police Patrick
Brazil as he was making one of his
rounds for the night. The companies
of the fire department In the district
under the box number responded
quickly and were soon at work on
the fire.
At one time 1t was believed that
the fire was out and release was
rung in but it was soon evident that
there was further need for the de-
partment and another alarm was
sounded.
One line of hose was laid through
the alley in the rear of the building,
but because of the smoke which was
unusually dense it was impossible to
reach the heart of the fire.
The front door was finnaly forced
in, hole cut in the floor and with
the new spray nozzle the firemen
soon had under control. A stream
was kept playing into the cellar for
nearly an hour before 1t was consid
cred safe to withdraw the depart
ment.
The cellar was well filed with
goods practically all of which were
ruined either by fire. smoke or water
While the fire did not at any time
come through the floor the smoke
was so dense and penetrating thai
many drugs, chemicals and other
goods on the main floor of the store
we're ruined.
The origin of the fire is unknown
but it is presumed to nave beer
caused through spontaneous combus
ton of some chemical stored in the
cellar.
Mr. Thompson says that he is vel
insured but that it is impossible tC
give any estimate of his loss.
The Squires jewelry store and the
clothing store of Mulligan G. Roche
were both filed with smoke. The lat
ter firm experienced some loss.

CANNONISM ENDS
BUT CANNON IS
SPEAKER

Iected Motion to Depose Him
From Office
STILL HOLDS THE CHAIR

Washington, March 2l.-Joseph
Quincy Cannon of Danville, H., is
still speaker of the House of Repres-
entatives. But he has lost the ancient
prestige and weapon of that Office
when the allied Republican insur-
gents and Democrats took from him
not only the craftsmanship OF, but
even membership in. the all-powerful
committee on rules the chief asset
in his stock OF power
Amid scenes of.wildest disorder for
the like of which one must go back
to the existing days just prior to the
Civil war-perhaps even those times
might not duplicate 1.-THE veteran
speaker almost seventy-four years
old stood erect and defiant, his head
bloCded but unhowed" And at the
end, when a big Texan Democrat ac-
cepted the speakers daring challenge
and introduced a resolution to fling
him out of the speakership. the Re
publican, regulars and insurgents,
with Few exceptions, rallied with
almost unbroken party front and gave
him a vote which almost Offset the
Reputation of Cannonism"
BY a vote of 1871 to 1855 the Repub-
lican insurgents voting solidly with
the Democrats. the House adopted
the resolution of Representative Nor
RE, Republican of Nebraska, requir-
ing a reorganization of the rules COM
mittee. increasing its membership
from five to ten, and declaring the
speaker ineligible to membership
thereon.
BY the curiously identical vote of
1871 to 1855 but with a decided differ
ent personnel of alignment-the
House defeated a resolution of Repre-
sentative Furleson OF Texas, declar-
ing the speakership vacant and order
ing an immediate election of a sue
cessor to Mr.. Cannon.

JONESDORO VOTES
 FOR ANNEXATION Bessemer and Jonesboro Will
 Become One City
CARRIED BY TWO VOTES
Meetings Tonight-A Chapter of Children of the Confederacy
 to Be Organized

Bessemer, October 17.-(Special) )-The Bessemerr was carried today by the small majority of two votes. There were III votes cast in all, the result being 55 for annexation and 53 against. Three votes were thrown out on account of not being properly made out. The election YVES very close on account of the agitation made by both sides and the result was a surprise to many. Those who were op- posed to the annexation, however, will abide by the vote of the majority, and Jonesboro will soon be part of Besse- mer.
 Mayor l. A. Lewis, in speaking of the election this afternoon said: "I am much Jonesboro. While the majority was small, feel that the consolidation of the two cities will be best for all parties con- cerned. AS far as I am concerned, I shall use every endeavor to carry out the pledges made by the city council of Bes- semer to the people of Jonesboro in ref erence to the consolidation of the two cities. It will be 8 matter of pride to me to know that Bessemer now ranks fourth in the cities of the state, which will add to her prestige both at home and abroad. The consolidation of the two towns will be consumated when the result of today's election Is canvassed and rati- fled by the Bessemer city council. I sim cerely hope the two communities will work together for the common good and for the prosperity and progress of our united city,"

 Ulcers and variocose veins are cured like magic; piles and fistula fade away like dew before the morning sun Every day we have people come to us and say, Doc tor, please do not deceive me. I have tried so much and spent so much money trying to get well that am almost dis couraged' We say and maintain that any man who would wilfully deceive the sick Is a coward. We can prove that we have refused more cases than any other institution in Birmingham. Because of a doubt about their recovery. if we cannot cure you, you will know it before you spend one cent with us, because we have all we can do: our reception rooms are crowded all the time, and cases that we could cure are not always accepted. So why would we jeopardize our business and reputation by accepting any other than cases we are sure of curing? We have sifted our business down to such fine point that the corporation has of
 fered $500 for any case they accept and fail upon. This is ample proof; but they go further than that and make this asser- tion: That they will forfeit $5,000 to any one who can prove that any statement

HEFLIN SPEAKS
 AT GUNTERSYILLE

Guntersville, October 17.-(Special.)- )-For three hours Thomas Heflin held a packed house here today while he talked of de- mocracy. He depicted the sins of the re- publican party and the oppression of the trusts fostered by the tariff and was interrupted by applause at every period.
 Mr. He1in is familiar with the scrip lures and uses biblical illustrations with telling effect. The democratic party, he said, was born with the constitution and for more than 100 years that party has guarded the old instrument with jealous eye. Tn the east, in the north, in the west 1t has been relegated to the shades of tradition but thank God the south has ever stood by the document as the char ter of national life." He agreed with MT. Howard that Thigh tariff will enrich the south as 1t has enriched New England, but from such prosperity, deliver us.'
 The speaker showed how magniflcence and misery rubbed elbows in New Eng
 land, where the owner of mills and fac tories live in splendor while his opera tives eke out an existence that cannot be called living The owner gets the benefit of protection and the workman pays 50 per cent on necessaries of life in order to enrich the employer. MT. Hef1in spoke of Emmet O'Neal and John Burnett and urged the people to support them both as the most direct method of reaching the abuses which republican ex- travagance is forcing upon the people. Mr. Heflin was cheered to the echo and his audience was delighted with his speech.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1910-10-18

When interviewed by a reporter at the Electro-Radio Institute yesterday, the examining physician was asked to what he most attributed the wonderful suc- cess of the company he represented. His answer came quick and straight from the heart: "Truthfulness, honesty and never misrepresenting to the public have won for this institution the largest patronage of any in the entire state. Through honest dealings they have
 founded an institution as strong as the Rock of Gibraltar. When man or woman comes to us and asks what his or her trouble Is, we don't hit around the bush and try to avoid telling them. We speak out and tell them plain facts. Then, if they want us to cure them, all right; If not, we will remain just as good friends, because we know that they are bound to return sooner or later. They may leave town and go to some larger city or health resort, but they always come back. It is irresistible, this new and wonderful cure. They soon find that they cannot get the same results else where; there Is no other institution or doctor in the world where they have electro-rado. radium and ozone all at their command in any qua ntity. These three clements are acknowledged by the leading scientists of the world to be the only sure cures for Consumption. Asthma, Bronchitis, Rheumatism, Stom- ach, Kidney. Liver. Blood. Nervousness and private. diseases of men and women.
 One of the leading authorities on womens
 troubles says Tt is ridiculous to curette the womb for germ lesions like ende- metritis, as it is impossible for such pro-
 cedure not to leave a nucleus for recur-
 renee of the trouble. Very rational, 1t is
 true It does seem as though we should
 have thought of 1t years ago. but we are
