today announced that taking effect
March 10, it Will put into effect west

clared today that it would never allow
the rate to be advanced FROM SO, and

Aug. Froelich, all aged German, en-
deayored TO commit suicide early YES
terday morning by throwing himself in

on the Omaha road at Midvaie, a station
twelve miles west of here. Froelich
was severely bruised and was brought
TO this city, where the cuts were sewed
up by physician. When asked why
he attempted suicide he replied that he
had no friends In this country and was
tired of life. He is about sixty wears OF
age, and has been an inmate of the
Washington county poor house for a
number or years. His sanity will be-
tested In the probate court and chances
are that he will be sent to Rochester.
The tub and pail factory at the prison

pals have 6een reduced it is question
whether or hot the factory would pay
at all.

The board of trade held lively ses
sion yesterday morning. at which
number of important matters were
taken up for consideration.
The consideration of the Lake Su-
perior and Mississippi ship canal project
occupied the attention of the board for
some time, and the body was waited
upon by committee from the st. Paul
chamber of commerce, consisting Of
Gen. G. c. Andrews. City Engineer
Rundlett and James Suydam.
The report was referred to the COM
mlttee on taxation, with power to act.
MUNICIPAL DEBT.
The committee on taxation submitted
an elaborate report regarding municipal
debt, in which it said:
NInnesota's municipal debt is larger
than that of any New England state
except Massachusetts, of any other
Southern state except Maryland, and OF
any Western state except Ohio, Illinois,
Missouri and Kansas. In 1890 the
municipal debt of Minnesota was $751;
4l7,S91, which is 20 per cent of the
total state Indebtedness of all kinds.
This was not quite three times the
huuIClpdl uGUt vi 1ONd. dilu oOmCnhdl
more than the added municipal debts
of Wisconsin aud Michigan. From 1880
to 1899 the increase in Minnesota's
municipal debt was from $4,3lS.000 to
SIS, 900. The states increase in
population during the decade was 66. a
per cent, in assessed valuation Us per
cent, and in municipal debt $40 per
cent. With the exception of a few new
states, which had few or no debts in
1850. no state showed so great a per-
centage of advance i'll municipal debt
during the late census decade as Min
nesOta.
Regarding the local debt tie report
speaks as follows:
Let us now consider the municipal
debt of Minneapolis. The total munic-
ipal debt this year ana during the TWO
census years was as follows:
1880. 1.l37. 467
looo. .'.....'....t.... t'Ooo,ouo
1871 .-....-........... $4,000. z. ol5,OUO
The bonded debt, less sinking fund,
for the three dates was as follows:
1880 approx. Isl, OO0 600, or s22. 90 per cap.
1899. ......... q, 400. III, or 1888 per cap.
1894 .......... 6,637.572, or SO. Is per cap.
Since 1880 the population and assessed
valuation of Minneapolis have increased
something over two-foId, while the mu-
nicipal debt has increased six-fold.
1t may not be unlntereSting III this
connection to compare our own munich
pal debt with those OF other cities. The
per capita debt. less sinking fund. in
1899 is given for the following cities by
the census bureau as follows:
