MILL CITY BONDS.
Wholesale Demand for Them I'm
Excess of the Legal Limit

Excess of the Legal Limit,
The bonded debt of Minneapolis is
tae burning issue at present in finan-
cAal and municipal circles. 1t appears
,unat While the bonded limit allowed
by law in this city, according to the
recent report of the comptroller. is
only $IO3,OO0, the demands for bonds
aggregate over 100000. The city
schools are in a badly over-crowded
condition, and the school board
thinks its immediate demands need
an issue of 100000. Then there is
$4,000 to be raised to save foreclos-
ure on the hospital site, on which
'uhe city has already paid Mr.. Brack-
EFT 100000. The bond issue for prose-
cutting the work on the PROMISED
reservoir plant was $500. 900. and in
addftlon to this the city owes the
county fer improvements on the
court mouse the last year $345. 900.
1t is estimated that the legal bond
limit on the first of January next
may reach 100000, and by july 1sf
1896, 100000. Thus the demands for.
ponds at present are something over
$4,000 in excess even of the limit
for the fiscal year 1896.
The matter has been discussed nv
the BOARD of trade, the municjnal
CLUBS and by the watch dogs in the
council, but good many people do
liot seem to understand these fig
ures. However, the agitation of the
hlatter served to defeat Senator
towards bill in the legislature tho
o o.lo DAY asking for a bond issue of
$ioo'ooo to complete the city side of
the court house, and there is likely
10 be good deal more pruning if
The agitation is kept up.

law on the charge of drunkenness, took
a change of venue to Justice Hasco and
demanded jury, and that the trial
proceed Immediately. After the jury
was impaneled counsel fought off going

the case being dirmissed. There is
great excitement. and the next move
will probably be an action to GUST him

of the kind in the state, the result will
be looked for with much interest all
over the state. Lockhart is prominent
in Republican politics, and the machine
is badly broken up over the legal pro-
ceedings.

Ebert Gets OFF Easy.

Charles A. Ebert, Jr., the attorney
who assaulted F. A. Harlow in the
corridor of the court house Tuesday,
was fined S. by Judge Holt yesterday
afternoon. 1t appears that Ebert had
told his story of the assault to Judge
Holt before court opened, for Harlow
was simply questioned as to the ex-
tent of his injuries, and when he adj
mitted that he was not seriously hurt,
the small fine was imposed. 1t is
probable that after the case is settled,
the court will act in the matter on an
order to show cause why Ebert should
not be punished for contempt for as
Saulting a witness.
