William Blsisdell would like to see DR..
Ames candidate for something or other,
and wrote to his old friend, now in Phil
adelphia, With hope that the doctor
would once more enter the political field
in this state. Here is the answer: Will
liam Biaisdeil. Esq.-My Dear Sir: I re-
ceived your kind letter upon my return
from New York city, last Thursday; but
being very busy, 1 have not found time
to answer it until now. Nothing would
please me better than to be in Minnesota
this fall and take hand IN the approach
ing political fight. But, my good friend
l am so tied up in private business that
1 do not see hos can get away. 1 am
receiving many tiattering letters from
my friends in Minnesota, urging me to
return and become candidate for mayor
or congress. My business engagements
are such, however, that I must decline
the use of my name for any Office. If I
could spare the time, would be glad to
return, and take the stump for the pur-
pose of aiding IN turning down the gang
of thieves who have been, and are now,
devouring the people. Purge your
judiciary of corporation lawyers. Very
truly yours, A. A. Ames, Philadelphia,
Pa, Lock Box 247.
Several prominent Sixth ward citizens
threaten to get an Injunction against the
city TO prevent the dumping of night soil
on the lower fats. Yhe "aatters" are
thoroughly aroused and unless the board
Of health makes other arrangements trou-
BILE is imminent. The stencil is frightful
and would not be tolerated anywhere.
Over 600 families reside within two blocks
of the dumping place and all protest as
one man. The officials are disposed to
take steps to abolish the nuisance. 1t is
claimed that the parties holding the
contract for the removal of garbage
should attend to the night soil nuisance
as we'll, but by reason Of clause in the
ordinance they cannot, it seems, be held
responsible. The section referred to pro-
vides that all night soil shall be delivered
on the cars in air-tight barrels. The
ecavengers have not supplied themselves
with the requisite brand Of barrels, and
say they will not do SO on account of the

ceptacles will he needed, as it takes time
to make the trip from the public dump
to New Brighton and back. It has been
suggested that the contractors should be
compelled to furnish barrels, but this
plan is also said to be out of the question,
as it would cost about $4,000 to supply
the necessary number and variety.
