TRIED TO GET AMES,..
". P. Roberts, Emissary Of the
Bondsmen, Returns Without
s the Wanted Man.
The Former Mayor Was Badly Dis
concerted by Norm Kings
2 Hard Fate.

& Another chapter has. been enacted in
the Ames' drama and another sleuth has
returned emptyhanded from the quest of
the absent and indicted former mayor.
But V. P. Roberts, who returned from the
east yesterday, has more to boast Of than
did Sheriff Dreger, for Mr. Roberts sue
ceeded In securing an audience with
Ames.. 1t was no use, however, for Just
as the Minneapolis emissary had worked
up the doctor nearly to the point of agree
Ing to return, there came the news of the
Norm King decision from the supreme
court DR.. Ames Immediately became as
i'll as a. small boy just before church time.
So Mr.. Roberts, 4 like his worthy prede-,
cessors. was fain to gloss over his failure
by 81 diagnosis and return to Minneapolis
MIR. Roberts did not just happen to run
across Ames In the east. He left Minne-
apolis Dec. Il as the authorized agent of
the bondsmen to bring moral suasion to
bear upon the fugitive, mayor. He is
himself an old soldier and had been with
Ames at West Baden when the bad news
of Brother Fred's conviction came. Bonds
Of sympathy existed which made Roberts
feel that he would be welcomed as a
friendly adviser by Ames. The bondsmen
did not enthuse particularly over the
proposition to give Mr.. Roberts an eastern
trip but finally took the chance. The
friendly emissary was supplied with let
tiers in which some Of the bondsmen
urged AmeS to return ana guaranteed to
remain ON his bond until he had had a
fair trial. i r ~
Mrs. Ames met Roberts in Boston and
gave him the address of the former
mayor. Repeated conferences followed in
which Ames was urged to return as he
could not be any. worse off in Minneapolis
than In concealment. This advice ap-
peared to have made a serious impression
when along came the word that King
would have to go to prison and Ames went
to pieces. ... ..e..-.~ap..s 81 E! e
Mr.. Roberts does not like to admit that
his mission was a failure. He says Ames
will return voluntarily to Minneapolis as
soon as he is able to travel, which may
be In about six weeks AS a matter OF
fact, there Is no assurance that the fugi-
| tive mayor will ever return, at least vol
| UNFAIRLY. In the meantime, 1t is nice
question whether or not Mr.. Roberts has
not put his foot in 1t. DR.. .Ames is tc
all intents and purposes fugitive from
justice and the person who knows his
abiding place and conceals4 the knowledge
may have done something which the grand
| jury would want to consider. In case
Roberts was cooperating with the aa.
| thorities, however, the case might be diff:
! ferent. .. =. -..r- s>-zsS.s -
AS to Ames' treatment in case he re.
turns or is brought back, the county; at.
torney has held out no hope of specia
consideration. "a fair trial". is the hes

AN EARLY REVIVAL.
Flour, Trade This Week Unusually
Heavy for This Time
Of Year.
The Millers Are Exp Getting. q Record
Breaking Season, Barring I'm
So ss forester Obstacles.

Sk=t q ~ n g.
The Minneapolis flour nils have booked
more orders in the5.fpas few days than
IN n any corresponding period in ten years.
Yesterday about DON, inquiry began COM
Ing In from American. ana European buy
ers. This morning it continued, and for
than on any corresponding dates for years.
This does not mean that the orders
necessarily run to great volume, although
1t was reported that zone big firm entered
a round lot Of 100 900 barrels. In the ag-
gregate, the sales are only what would be
considered nominal at a time Of activity,
and are under the business done in the
fall. But it isremarkable that they should
run heavy at: all sofearly in the year.
The milling trade usually dips into q
period of dullness about the middle Of
December. and sales usually run light all
through the holiday season and well
along into the new year. There is seldom
any noteworthy revival of buying inter-
est until after the middle of, January,
while in. some seasons the period Of dull
ness has been, known ito drag, along
| through February and well UP to March
l. This year the revival of trade appears
to, have started earlier than ever before. :
1T will be a good year for the -four
millers If. no adverse. conditions arises
later. A prominent miller said this morn
ing that demand, for -four will be good. .
| I'VE are turning down orders now" he
said, "for future delivery, where prices
are too low. Later on we think buyers who

stocks of flour at the principal points OF

Although Andrew Rinker was named
city engineer by cote Of the city council
last Monday afternoon, a fight may still
be made against him. At the meeting last
evening Alderman Nels ]. Nelson intro
duced an eight hour resolution which pro-
vided that only bona fide residents should
be employed on city~-work. This Alder
man Rand supplemented by resolution to
the effect that none but actual residents
Of the city be placed on the pay roll. The
Nelson resolution was referred to a COM

Rand proposition. p. =

to discuss any plans, but, seemed pleased
over the prospect. of making trouble for

A Suggestion That the Legislature

Thomas Coleman Younger will make one
more plea Tor absolute liberty next Mon
day afternoon, before the state board Of
pardons. His i'll health and the death OF
his brother Jim puts new phase on the
case, and it is generally believed that
the board will soon end the celebrated case
by granting a full pardon. It. has been
suggested that since the legislature pro-
vided for the parole two years ago, and
really forced action on the board of par
dons, it should this winter take action of
some sort, and perhaps pass a resolution
recommending the pardon,
Sentiment generally favors allowing Cole
to return to Missouri and the state. board
Of control, is understood to :; favor this
step, as well as Warden Wolfer. A.
Several other murder cases came be-
fore the board, including that; Of Hamil-
ton, the Duluth negro under death sent
ence, who asks for Communication. Reuben
G. Pickett, serving a twelve-year sent
ence from Hennepin county for man
slaughter in permitting his wife to be
burned to death, asks for pardon. Phil
Sherry Of Swift county and Patrick Regain
Of Ramsey county; both . life prisoners,
also ask for pardon.

The chief event of the annual meeting
the year 1902. The conditions and results
were very satisfactory. The board has
a balance Of SIS, s60-the largest in it's his
tory. The circulation OF books has been
1888, divided as follows: Central, i247,
643; branches and stations, 259,543;
daily average, 1874. The library has add
ed and catalogued s,365 new books and
in addition $500 circulating magazines
were put in circulation. About. $4,000
cards have been written during the year. :
+ The librarian is awaiting himself as far
by the congressional library. The scheme
for furnishing these printed cards to the
libraries of the country, initiated by Her.
bert Putnam: is vast and com plicated. The
leaders of the profession are engaged in
perfecting the details, the subject occu-
plying always a prominent place at the
meetings Of the Librarians association.
Already the benefit is great and each year
shows an Improvement. Much may be
hoped for here. z

and skill. *
Or. Hosmer expressed himself as much
pleased with the showing. for the linotype
machine purchased by the board. 1t made
a clear saving last year of $737, and the
showing In the future will be still more

Works of fiction were in greatest de-
mand: The nine books having the great
est circulation were all novels. Winston

ers, having been taken out by 1900 per-
sons fifty copies being kept in circula-

Ralph Corners THE Man from Glen:
gary; Mary Johnston's Audrey. Mary

The rule Of making a charge Of 5 cents
per week for duplicate copies has proved
very satisfactory, as it creates fund fo1
popular fiction, leaving the book fund ffe'
for more permanent litrature.

this county are sent. Many of these un-

These take as much pleasure in reading
as the average person, e but there is a
great want Of proper reading matter. The
convalescents also need light reading.
Even some Of the chronic insane are quite
able to enjoy literary diversions. There
are at present $780, patients at st. Peter
