FORMER MAYOR AMES DEAD
Prominent Minneapolis Physician Sud-
denly Passes Away.

DR.. Alonzo A. Ames, several times
mayor of Minneapolis and one time
Democratic candidate for governor,
is dead. His death was unexpected
and the doctor practically slept into
death.
DR.. Ames was nearly seventy years
old and was graduate of Rush Med
ical college. He was assistant SUR
geon of the Ninth Minnesota volun-
teers and member of the legislature
in 1857. In 1876 he was elected mayor
of Minneapolis as Republican.
In 1882 he was defeated for the Re-
publican nomination by C. M. Loring,
but was nominated by the Democrats
and defeated Loring by 1900. In 1884
he defeated George A. Pillsbury for
mayor by 5000 votes and in 1886 he
was the Democratic candidate for gov
ernor and was defeated by A. R. Nc
Gill by $500 votes. In 1900 he was
elected mayor on the Republican tick
ct. 1t was in this term that the Ames
graft scandal arose, during which the
mayor, HIS UIOIucE, rISu w. Am0S,
who was chief of police, and several
members of the police force were in
dicted for graft charges.
Mayor Ames resigned from Office
and disappeared. On his return he
was tried and the first jury disagreed.
He was convicted on the second trial
and appealed to the supreme court,
which ordered a new trial On the
third trial the jury disagreed and the
case was dropped His brother and
several other police officers served
short terms in state prison.

poor roads, and from the east it was
noted that better roads to St. Paul
than to Minneapolis attracted much
larger volume of trade to the former
city. On the twenty Eight roads 1418
vehicles entered the city between the
hours of 6 a. m. and 8 p. m. and car
ried 666 tons of merchandise valued
at S17,O56. Farmers will drive long
distances to get to good market
and good roads and a good market will
insure the success and advancement
of any town.

Minneapolis is not too big to pay
attention to the farm trade coming
in by team and the effect of good
roads leading to that city. The pub
lie club arranged to have high school
boys stationed at every road Thursday
last week. and record was made of
every team entering the city, the
weight and value of the load. 1t de-
veloped that the traffic on the good
roads was much greater than on the

THE OBJECT OF EDUCA.
TON.
easy mark.

In his address before the recent ses-
sion of the conservation congress held
at Kansas City, William J. Bryan
uttered some pointed thoughts on the
subject of education. The following
extract contains food for thought for
every farm boy or girl who imagines
that life in the city possesses superior
advantages over life on the farm:
''I sometimes think that our edu-
cational system is at fault in separat-
ing out intellectual progress from our
moral advancement. Too often edu-
cation is sought to enable one to avoid
hard work. When this becomes the
prevalent idea education ceases to be-
come a blessing and becomes curse.
The most important thought that
can be lodged in each child's mind
is that education is to enlarge ones
capacityfor work, and not to relieve
the nee essitv for it.
''In the cities men accept positions
giving small pay because they are
enabled to dress more carefully and
keep their hands clean. They con-
slider this badge of respectability,
which they prefer to greater pay for
real labor. 1t is not only labor they
avoid, but the physical and often
moral development which goes with
it. hope that this congress will
not for a moment lose sight of the
fact that the farm, toll and all. gives
the greatest opportunity of independ-
ence and character and strength.
81 believe that we will only do our
full duty to ourselves, our country
men and posterity when we emphasize
the fact that it is the idler, not the
toiler, who is a disgrace. In dis
seminating this idea there is work for
US all. The mother may aid when
she teaches her daughter that it isl
better to link her future with a poor
man who has strength and ambition
to:carve for himself future than to
link her future with an idler who
merely waits the times when he can
squander the money amassed by some
one else.
"The father can help when he |
teaches his son that he is prouder |
when he sees him working at honest
labor than idling his time in waiting
for the time to come when he will in
herit fortune. Every member of |
society can serve in the war upon
this vicious idea. which is one of the
greatest foes to mankind. Teachers.
have unlimited scope for
their work along this line. Sunday
after Sunday the preacher should
strive to press home the idea which
Christ taught the world, that hapi-
ness and greatness depend upon SER
vice.

STEAMER LOAD OF BIG GAME
Returning Nimrods Say Hunting Best
in Years

in Years.
Perhaps the greatest consignment
of big game that ever was brought
to Duluth reached that city on the
steamer Eastman, which carried
twenty moose carcasses and more
than forty deer. The animals were
shot along the north shore and the
hunters returning say the hunting is
the best in years.
One of the prizes of the entire load
was an immense bull moose shot by
Frank Berry. The animal weighed
nearly 1900 pounds undressed and was
perfect in hide and antlers.

A good deal is being said
about the condition of our roads.
In our opinion there has never
been time since work on the
railroad began up the Kentucky
river when the people or the
county authorities could have
made or kept up the county
road along this route. The
roilroad authorities by giving
more of their attention to the
roads might have done it. Now,
what's the trouble? The old
county road in most places
threads right along close to the
river, the railroad grade does
the same and, work on both
could not well have been done
at the same time. 1t is fact
we will never have roads in
this county built out of dirt.
There is entirely too much
travel for that. -Whitesburg
