A Brief Visit to st. James.

1t was the good fortune of the writer
to one day last week spend few hour,
in the little village of st. James, where
we made the acquaintance of Il few
representative business men and citizens
st. James has a population of between
six and eight hundred; is the division
OF the c., NJ, st. P. & o. road, and is
withal thrifty burg. A goOdiy mum,
Der of church spires loom up above the
highest business blocks, and IL most
excellent school building is noticeable
on a pretty little knoll few steps from
the main street.
A brief call at the Court House in
troduced us to Geo. Knudson, Auditor,
M. f. Dunn, Treasurer, Thos. Torson,
Register of Deeds and Geo. p. John
ston, Clerk of Court, as jolly and whole
souled lot Of boys as one wOuld meet
in months travel, and none more
sociable could be found anywhere.
Through the kindness of w. w.
Gibbs, ESD, mine host Of the st. james
Hotel, we were treated to ride over
to Rosendale farm, located just one
half mile from the corporation limits
of town. and of which he is proprietor.
Mr.. Gibbs certainly has reasons for
feeling proud of his possessions, for
he has Il half section of land that can
not be surpassed in Watonwan county
and crops of all kinds are looking ex-
ceptionally well. He last year built
stock barn 44xGO feet with hay stor-
age room in second story, capable of
holding fifty tons of hay. Sixty head
of cattle can be sanctioned with ease,
beside eight or ten head of horses.
Everything about and pertaining TO the
structure has been arranged with an
eye single to convenience and comfort
of stock, and 1T does not take practical
optic to see that this resul, has been
most gratifyingly accomplished. Mr..
G. appreciates the value of stock rails
ing and with start of some sixty
and old-it will be but a
short time until he will have valuable
herd.
'- The profit of stock raising is not an
but solid, self.evident
fact, and the farmers of Southwestern
Minnesota especially have made up
their minds to take advantage of the
situation, leave off exclusive grain rails
ng, and enter into diversified agricul-
ure, which always amply rewards hon
,st toll.
Watonwan county, we were informed,
besides having not dollar of indebted
less, is blessed with balance in the |
reasury, for which she may be thank
ul. st. James likewise is free from the
burden of debt, and has nothing that
stranger can observe or conceive
which should retard healthy and sub
tantial growth,

What an Ohio Man Thinks of Minnsops
Falls.

Editors Free Press:
Having read sketches at different
times in your valuable paper relative to
"Minneopa Falls as a summer resort"
and happening up this way on visit to
friends and relatives, Minneopa was
one of my first attractions for days
visit. To look upon so beautiful a spot
was indeed food for my eyes for many
hours. and truly could the people in
this vicinity say-"this is my native
home But to see a place of so many
natural advantages as a summer resort,
remain for so long time unimproved
is truly surprise. With a very little
expense this place can be made very at
tractive. Were there better accommo-
dations in the way of hotels and cot
tages, no doubt that hundreds who are
now passing their time in crowded and
unpleasant resorts of the East, would
find IA pleasant and retired summer
home at this place. Were it in the
hands of some men with ample capital
this place would certainly succeed as
place of resort.
But let us take another view of it.
While looking over the premises many
features present themselves, showing it
to be favorable point for business.
The Falls are four miles from Man
kato, eight from Lake Crystal; steady
water power for at least six months in
the year, and right in the center of the
most productive grain country in South
cm Minnesota. What more could it
have. With the advantages offered by
machinery now in use, there is power
enough lost here to grind flour for every
person in the State. The railroad sta
tion is within Il stones throw of this
place, where at least six passenger trans
pass daily, and freight trains at all
hours, thus making it convenient for
either business or pleasure.
Happening to live in a district where
glass is manufactured l am of the
opinion that the sands stone which un-
dcrlies the hard stone, over which these
falls pour, is a quality of which flint
glass is made, and my intention is to
have some of it analysed on my return.
The FREE PRESS may hear from me on
this subject later. If ever pay this |
part of the country another visit I will |
not he surprised to find ut this point the |
Lowell of Blue Earth county.
Yours respectfully,
Il. M. DAVIS.

IT is not little amusing to see
with what a degree of fervor and ap.
parent interest the st. Paul Globe al.
vocates the propriety of theDemocrats
in the First District not making il
Congressional nomination, but rather
take up Dunnell and run him as an
Independent candidate. Where, we
would ask the Globe, would be found
MIR. Dunnellis independence, after hav-
ing fought for a Republican nominal
ton, suffered square defeat, and
then wheel in to defeat the choice of
the party that has suffered him to
hold seat in Congress for six conse.

politically incapacitated for the time
being. is not dead to all sensibilities
of self-respect and future aspirations,
and may safely be counted rs not yet

possible resurrection by such foolish
and fragrant, violation of common
decency rs the Globes pithole would
consign him. Hon. Milo White was

and the Republican hosts of that
District will elect him by Il rOusing

AT Millersburg, Ohio, on Tuesday
much damage was done by water
spout. The storm WIS confined to al
area of about six miles east and west
and four miles north aud south, the
town of Millersburg being about in
the center. 1t was the most devast
ating rain ever known there. AL.
though it lasted but three hours,
hundreds of acres of corn are covered
with mud; many acres of potatoes are
washed out; haystacks have been
swept away, and other crops ruined.
The Bowen coal mine, three miles
from Millersburg, was filled with
water so rapidly that the miners
barely had time to escape. One old
man named George Hoops saved him
self by jumping on the back of mule,
which swan out with him. Eye
witnesses were astounded to see great
waves several feet high roll over land
which a few minutes before was
parched from drouth. No loss of life
reported.

A TRIBUTE To WAKEFIELD

Politics being the order of the day,
| wish to say II few words regarding

of Blue Earth City. He is a gentle.
man whom have the honor to know
personally, and for years.. by his
unsullied reputation even at home,
and where even prophet is said to
be without honor, he is honored, loved
and respected. Some have even
spoken disparagingly of hIs ability
failing to recognize his sterling worth,
his deep thought and studied practi
cal judgment-preferring to boot for
some blatant gasbag-whO would
boast of the deeds they had and would
perform--and forgetting that noisy
waters are shallow and that though
deep waters move slowly. yet when
they do move they carry everything
before them. Hon. Mr.. Wakefield, l
beg leave to compare to deep waters
who shall sweep everything before

and yet firm as Il rock in the line of

You have doubtless heard of the
movement to organize in this city u cor
poration for the purpose of manufaclur-
ing axes and other edged tools, under
the direction of Mr.. Simonds, of COhoes,
N. y. believing that the time has
come for the citizens of this city to act,
we earnestly request you to call ,cittout

Samborn, and examine the subscription
list showing who have taken shares in
this corporation and if possible add
your name to the list of subscribers.
The shares are $50 each, payable in
installments of 20 per cent, not more
than one installmcnt to he called for in
any month. There Is to be meeting
of the stockholders on Saturday evening
of this week, at o'clock ut City Hall,
and it is necessary that the subscription
list be completed by that time.
Please give this matter serious con-

hope and believe is for the good Of

not have been as they are. The ac-
ton in this matter taken by our city
fathers, while We would not impugn
their motives, demonstrates to Ger.
tainty that an establishment which

for the growth and prosperity of the

we question if One.third the reading

can the public gain through such Il

1t wonld indeed be blessing to poor weak,
nervous, debilitated, suffering humanity, II
druggists would stop selling the many vile
purgative pills and cathartic compounds ad-
vertised for the cure Of liver complaint.
Although thew afford temporary relief, at the
same time they weaken the digestive Or

use Of the same. Sufferers from dyspepsia
and liver complaint do not need q cathartic,
but should use some true medicinal tonic
that will strengthen the digestive organs, and
heal the diseased tissues Of the stomach, liver
and bowels. Such remedy is Browns Iron

PRECISELY what we predicted some
weeks since, in regard to the course
of the Democratic party in this Dis.
trict relative to the Congressional
question, is this week admitted by
the Rcrieo, whose editor is chairman
of the Democratic District Commit.
tee. Last week the RecieW denied
our statement that the Democrats
would nOt--could not-find a capable
man within their ranks who would
.condescend to accept Il nomination
against such great odds as he would
he compelled to face, and remarked
that convention would be held
sometime in August or September
and Il candidate placed in nomination.
AS usual, the editor of that great
moral (!) sheet stopped over, and this
week, virtually admits our position
to he correct, by saying that a
"Democratic convention will be
called soon, and it will be decided
whether nomination he made CT
Mr.. Latimer's name be recommended.
The Rccieto does not hesitate to say
that the latter course would be ac-
ceptable to 1t, for on the issues tina [
divide political parties there is prac-
tically no difference between those
advocated by the Alliance and Min
neSota Democrats"
1t is also observable by the Reciews
remarks that THE FREE PRESS is
fully justified in characterizing the
recent convention composed of an
exceedingly limited representation
of the Alliance, as Il Democratic
move, made in direct opposition to
the Republican party and its candi-
date. There Is no other view to take
of the matter, and we submit to the
judgment of any unbiased and fair
minded man, whether he lie a member
of the Alliance or not, if this is not
practically correct. The Rerie,o man
knows full well, has been wise of the
fact for some weeks, that the Dem
ocrats do not propose to put up a
candidate. hence the vascilating posi-
ton noticed in the columns of that
sheet. The public would be well
pleased to see Wise come down off
the fence on the congressional ques-
ton, and he may be expected to do
SO very soon. Latimer may be safe
ly counted as the victim of the
ReCiew's puerile political inconsistent.
cy, and is therefore to be pitied.
The Democrats who please, will
vote for Mr.. Latimer, but there are
hundreds in this District, who will
not please. AS they have got To vote
for il Republican-whichever way
yOn put it-they propose to vote for
the man who stands up straight for
his principles and under the party
banner to which he cleves, pledges to
labor for the interests of the farm
ers. mechanics, labOring men and
artiZans. That man is James b.
Wakefield.
