SALTWATER FINANCES.
Bonds Have Been Negotiated
Above Par for the First Time.

Bonds Have Been Negotiated
Above Par for the First Time.
An evidence of the excellent financial
standing of the city is that the S25, 900 in
refunding bonds recently issued by the
city have been negotiated at premium.
The premium paid was S442.50, which,
together with accrued interest from
Jan. l to May !, amounting to S420.14,
the purchaser pays in excess of the face
value of the bonds. The bonds become
due Jan. l, 1921, and are issued to take
up the Saltwater 81 st. Paul railroad
bonds now due. This is the first time
in the history of Saltwater that bonds
have been negotiated above par, and
this fact reflects credit upon City Clerk
f. A. Hopkins. TO whom was referred
the negotiating of the bonds. The bonds
were purchased for Eastern capitalists
by r. l.. Day q Co., Boston, Mass. The
$4,000 refunding bonds will soon be
flOated.

and Schiel rejoiced to think that he was
going to have good nights rest. Mrs.
Schiel had been taking morphine, and
her husband thought that by taking
what he termed a small dose of the
drug he might have a better nights
rest. Mrs. Schiel told him to be care
full and not take too much. He proba-
bly, did not know how much was neces-
sary to produce the desired result, and
he took TWO teaspoonfuls. He soon
dropped into heavy sleep. and DIR.

COMMERCIAL CONGRESS.

The Single Tax League Hears
From a Kansas City Delegate.
The commercial congress at Kansas
City was the subject of talk given py
5. A. Stockwell before the single tax
league. Mr.. StOckwelI took the ground
that, though the congress accomplished
but little, it nevertheless inaugurated
an era of good feeling between the bust
ness men of the North and South. The
convention was largely composed of
young men, and the perpetuity of such
meetings could not fail to be
beneficial to the country at large.
Had it not been for the bloody
shirt harangues of a few Republican
orators these meetings would have been
ihagurated long ago. Although the
congress pledged itself to no line of
policy, the sentiment was, nevertheless.
largely in favor of free coinage and
tariff reform. The action of certain dele
gates who did the little boy act ''if you
wonTplay my way l won't play" was
commented upon and the assertion
made that, instead of running the con-
yention, the convention ran over them.
The reception of the stuff" as he char
acterized President HarrIsOn's letter.
was very amusing. 1t fell, he said, like
a wet blanket upon the whole congress,
and created no more enthusiasm than it
would had it been signed by John
Smith, instead of b. Harrison.

City Printing.
Yesterday was the last day before the
opening of the ball-playing season, and
the various council committees cleared
their tables of what work there was be-
fore them, preparatory to continual
round of unalloyed pleasure during
the time the great Minneapolis ball
club amuSeS itself and the visiting
teams on the home grounds. The fire
department committee reported fayora-
bly, upon the resolution Issuing $4,000
bonds for the permanent improvement
of the fire department. In 1889 the leg
iSlature authorized the issuing of S70,0 900
IN bonds. but as yet but Sl5, 900 has been

THEY START TONIGHT.
DIR. Ames Will Send OFF the Ladies
on Their Wheels.

In all probability the greatest event
in the history of Northwestern cycling
will commence at Washington rink this
evening at o'clock sharp. 1t will be
the start of the ladies' six-day bicycle
race, three hours per day, from 8 until
II O'Clock, to decide the eighteen-hour
championship of America.
There will be six starters, as follows:
Miss Helen Baldwin, of San Francisco,
Cal; Miss May Allen. of Pittsburg, Pa. /:
Miss frankie Nelson, of Brooklyn, n. /;
Miss Lille Williams, of Omaha, Neb. /;
Miss Aggie Harvey, of Pittsburg, Pa. !;
Mile. ArmaindO, of Montreal. Can.
These ladies have all won races at diff
ferent distances and are counted the
best in the profession. The present
record is 262 miles for an eighteen-hour
race, made by Miss Lille Williams, of
Omaha, But the present field of riders
is SO fast that the record will undoubt-
edly be broken. EX-Mayor Ames will
probably start the fair riders on their
silent steeds, and great race may be
expected.
