Mayor Ames Bribed TO Quit Mime
sOta.-His Coming Ontesf.

Mayor Ames left here on Saturday en-
route for Washington. with the intention of
spending two days in Chicago. While in
that city he expressed himself to a News
reporter as follows:
The people of Minnesota who supported me
SO strongly in the race for governor are still
quite pugnacious. They insist upon my con-
testing the election returns, and snail do so
with all my power. l have absolute proof of
fraud and bribery, and have no fear that
shall not make my proof clear. I'll make
it quite uncomfortable for Mr.. McGin
and his heelers before l am through with
them. know of certain counties in which a
fair recount would give me u handso me
majority. In three of the wards in Mime
apoIls the Republicans spent $4,000. There
is no lack of proof, l assure you. Why, a
little while ago an attorney came TO me-
whom onlv knew as acquaintance, and
whois prominent in Republican circles,
and said: 'Ames why don't you leave
Minnesota aud try some place where you
would be better appreciated / replied that

pared TO stay there. Well, said he, would

Thornton Bates. Disappointed in
love, Goes to an Insane Asylum.


The Office of the judge of probate was
the scene of sad gathering yesterday
afternoon. and more than one person was
affected to tears by witnessing it, The
central figure was Thornton C. Bates. the
young man who was taken from his home
to the police station Sunday. while raving
violently. Near him sat his father man
of some so years, looking very mournful.
To all the questions that We're put TO him
he returned sullen. ugly answers, and two
or three times made an endeavOr to shake
the handouts from his wrists. Had he
succeed in so doing, it is extremely proba-
bic that some one would have been in
! jured, as the young man is extremely
we'll built. and possess a wonderful
strength. After long and tedious exam
! inatiOn by two physicians he was pro-
nOunced insane and a warrant committing
him to the insane asylum made out. Mr..
Bates will accompany his son to the living
tomb. from which place in all probability
he will never emerge alive. The young
mans case is a peculiarly sad one. 4
year or so ago the young man was working
on farm in Nebraska. and while there
became engaged to a handsome young
| lady. When Bates came back to Mime
apolis, the young people correspondent for
few months. Then for some reason the
young lady ceased writing. and from
another source Bates learned that she had
decided not to marry him. This unsettled
his mind, and since that time he has been
| dangerous man to have at large, occa-
Sionally becoming exceedingly violent and
destroying everything within his reach.

a large number of bills. all of which were
allowed. The committee on roads and
bridges examined the new bridge across
Crystal bay, at Lake Minnetonka. and
moved that the bridge be accepted and a
warrant drawn for the amount it cost. This
report was adopted.
After the regular session the board dis
cusSed an offer of certain parties to pur-
chase the poor farm at 500 per acre. re-
serving only about fifteen acres and the
buildings. No action was taken. however.
The poor farm now contains over 44O
acres. and as most of the commissioners
considers this too large it is probable that
part of il. al least will be sold.
At the conclusion of the regular business
Rev. Mr.. Gjertson read an interesting
Daper on Jewish Missions" Although the
Jewish nation had no existence at the pres
ent time he said. the Jewish people had,
and were scattered
ALL OVER THE ENTIRE WORLD.
This class of people had been the most
down-trodden of any people on earth, both
nv the church and the people. The speaker
said that when Jew joined the Christian
church he was cut off from his own people
inst as much as if he had died. A discus
sion followed the reading of the paper.
Rev. Mr. Bell said he never was interested
in the Jewish people until he went abroad
and saw the persecution to which the people
were subjected all over the world. He gave
Interesting illustrations of this persecution
which took place at Bagdad while he was
there. Rev. Mr.. Lanman said that this was
the best country for the Jewish people, as
fine religious views here were more liberal
than anywhere else on the face of the globe.
The sneaker said it impressed him wonder

also imagine Judea as it was during Chrst's
time Rev. Mr. Hobbs said since he heard
the discussion of the Jewieh people at Far

become interested in the Jewish people. de

beard almost hid his mouth. nose and eyes,
one of the latter being closed from blow
received during the evening. His clothes
were one mass of rags. and, instead of

his feet. During the war he was a MEM

Free ships Discussed.
The board of trade considered a variety
of subjects Yesterday. varying its usual rou-
tine work by an animated debate on free
trade. The executive coUmittee preSente d
its financial scheme for the coming year,
and, after various suggestions, the matter
was referred back to them. The special
committee. TO whom had been referred the
resolutions Of the Cincinnati chamber of
commerce regarding a subsidy for South
American steamship companies, reported a
series of resolutions which ask congress to
pass law which shall relieve our mer-
chant marine from all burdensome IMPOSE
tons and taXatiOnS" and permit citizens of
the United States to purchase ships in any
market in the world free from all duties
and to be licensed and registered the same
as ships built in the United States. Judge
BaSSett presented the report and defended
the resolutions in a strong free-trade speech.
After an hours discussion the report was
tabled.
Col. Walker. of the railroad commission.
asked that the board appoint committee
TO confer as TO what transportation leglsla-
ton is needed by the city. The committee
on water power and navigation was in
6tructed to act with Col. Walker In the
matter.
NJ. De Laittre introduced resolutions
asking that the board appoint committee
to act with similar committees from the
other business organizations in securing
statistics regarding the amount OF transfer
business done by the railroads in the city
and the charges for the same-which facts
should be laid before the railroad commits
sion with a view to securing either the abo-
htion of such charges, or at least a great
reduction in them.
Mr.. De Laittre said that transfer charges
were simply enormous and ruinOuS. he had
been informed that the Minneapolis charges
were greatly in excess of the st. Paul
rates. He thought that the railways should
be compelled to deliver cars on the side
tracks of cOnSgnees. whether on their own
road or not and that they should receive
loaded cars on the side tracks of cOnSignOrs
and charge nothing for transportation.
The resolutions passed unanimously.
The board adjourned and the committees
met later and took the preparatory steps.
