DOC AMEs HAS VACATED.
He Says He Is no Longer Surgeon
at the Soldiers Home.

In connection with certain, other informa-

executive board of the state soldiers home,
morning paper of yesterday published the
assertion that Dr. A. A. Ames had still con-
tinued to act as surgeon of that institution.
notwithstanding that he had resigned. In
conversation with a GLOBE representative
last evening the doctor expressed himself as
follows:

was to be appointed at that time. When the
meeting did take place the board adjourned
without appointing surgeon and prom
ised Capt. Castle that would perform the
duties until the following Sunday, but no
longer. After that day l discon-
tinued my visits, and DR.. Pine of
St. Paul, was appointed to act until
the meeting in October. My reason for re-
signing the Office was that the duties had be-
come so heavy as TO require that should en-
tirely give up my private practice, and this
could not afford to do for the salary paid.
When the home was first established | ac

The last three days will be devoted largely
to thorough revision of the constitution and

tary rank There is a well-defned
military branch entirely from the
under its own officers. The two branches
will maintain an alliance and act together
under the same civil officers. but in matters
military the martial branch will move indie
pendently.
There has already been considerable inter
est manifested in the election of officers, par
ticularly that of a commander-in-chief, and
as the last convention amended the constitu-
ton so as to do away with second terms, all
offices must be filed with new men.
The candidates for the Office of commander
in-ehief are Mervin E. Hall, of Hillsdale,
Mich; Barlow ). Weeks. of New York city,
assistant district attorney, and at present
Judge advocate general Of the organization,

experience in securing attractions have
taught the exposition management Just what
the people desire, and. with the assistance Of
a liberal purse, wonderland of exhibits has
been provided. From the day of the opening,
Aug. 26, to the day of the closing there will
be no cessation of interesting features. A
programme of the unrivalled character pc
culiar to the untiring efforts of the manage
ment has been arranged for the opening day,
TO be followed by such succession of at
tractive features as to form a ontinual fete
worthy of Roman emperor.
In consequence of the liberal rates which
have been made by the railroad companies
the cost of travel has been greatly reduced.
and it is fact that visit can be made to
Minneapolis to see the exposition at very
slight expense over the cost of living at
home. 1t can be said that the crowds of this
season will be larger than they have been at
any previous season.
The programme with which the exposition
will be opened, is as follows:
Selection by the National Band of Mexico
Opening PRAYER by Rev. Dr.. o. II. Tiffany,
LII. D.
Music by Mexican band.
Address of welcome, Mayor P B. Winston.
Selection of international airs, Mexican
band.

Address by President 7. B. Janney de-
claring the Exposition to be open to the pub
lie. and the starting of the machinery.

lowing is the order:

IT WILL OPEN WEDNESDAY.
Another "Blaze of Glory" Will
Then Be on View.

On the Goth of August. next Wednesday,
the giant wheels which are to run the ma
chinery in the Exposition building will re-
volve, and the sixth annual season will have
commenced.
1t seems incredible when the immen Sc
number of attractions, which have been
gathered together for the instruction and
amusement of the people of the Northwest,
is taken into consideration. All this work
has taken months to do, and the expenses at
tached to the securing of the attractions
have been very heavy. But the exposition
management has srared no expense in order
to secure anything which it was thought
would be of interest to the thousands of Wis
itors who will be in the city between
the dates Aug % and Sept %
1t has become quite the thing for the resi-
dents in the surrounding cities and towns to
make visit to the cities of Minneapolis and
st. Paul every fall for the purpose of seeing
the state fair and the exposition. They all
come. The whole family looks on the trip
as being something which IS portion of
their life and a most severe disappointment
would be the result if an exposition
season were permitted to go by with
glory. 1t depends, in a great measure.
on the crops and the success of
the various enterprises which they are en-
gagged in, as to whether the visit is long
one or one lasting merely day or two; but
it is a sure thing that they will not miss their
annual visit The children can learn more
from seeing one exposition than they ceuld
accomp lish by months of study in their
schools at home. The children are also able
to see things with their own eyes that
their teachers are en0eav0ring to
make them understand. and can
learn by observation that which it would
be impossible for them to comprehend
under ordinary circumstances in this easy
and instructive. manner. They take an inter
est in learning and the effect is exceedingly
beneficial. Thus the exposition answers all
of the qualifications which it Is expected to
do. For the sum which is charged as an ad-
mission fee. the child. or older person. sees
things which it would cost thousands of
where they are to be found in constant use
or in their natural state.
There seems to be no possibility of any
thing but q success this season. The attrac-
tons which are offered have never been ex-
cellec by any previous exposition. Years OF

Mayor WinstOn's Reply to the
Parkhurst Patent Argument,

The resolution awarding the curb and
gutter contract to Ring & Tobin was not
handed to Mayor Winston until yester-
day, and no action has as yet been taken
upon it. However. upon being asked
as to the truth of the report that the
Parkhurst people were engaged in an
effort to have it vetoed on the ground
that Ring & Tobin could not fulfill the
contract without infringement of the
Parkhurst patent. he said:
II have not seen any of the ParkhHrst
people yet, nor have heard from them
on this subject. But will say that L
should not allow a consideration of that
sort to influence me in my action. If a
question of that kind arises it is not fer
me, but for the courts. to settle. l shall

When questioned as to the contents of
the message the mayor declined to go
into detail prior to its presentation to

that he had vetoed the ordinance be-

He said that he had carefully consld-
