DIR. A. A. Ames Gone.

DR.. Albert Alonzo Ames passed
peacefully to his rest at his home in
Minneapolis last Thursday evening.
He had lain down to seek repose in
the afternoon and later when called
for the evening meal it was found that
his spirit had flown.
DR.. AmeS was born in Illinois in
1912 and came to what is now Mime
apolis with his parents in 1852. He
studied medicine and surgery and was
graduated from Rush Medical COL
lege, Chicago, in 1862. The same
year he enlisted as private in the
Ninth MINI. Inf, and later was
surgeon of the Seventh MINI. Inf. In
1867 he was elected to the Minnesota
legislature, and it was largely through
his efforts that the soldiers home at
Minnehaha was established. He was
four times elected mayor of Mime
apolis-1876, 1882, 1886 and 1900. In
1886 he was the democratic candidate
for governor and only lacked $500
votes of defeating A. r. McGill, the
republican nOminee-it was claimed
and believed by many that he was
fairly elected but was counted out.
DR.. Ames was splendid physician
and surgeon and no more generous
hearted man ever lived; he was especi-
ally kind to the poor and distressed
and his services we're ever at their
disposal without money and without
price. He had bis failings like other
men, but his patriotism and philan-
throphy atones hundred times over
for his few little shortcomings
