the headwind that blows him from
shore. for Point Pleasant is like an
island to a sailor and always affords
shelter on one side or another. and
quiet water close to the hotel in
which to land.
For bathing there is no better
fresh water on earth, because it is
so pure and so soft, and because it
never gets warm enough to gener-
ate disagreeable smells or malaria.
This is because the lake is fec by
springs and very deep, and the
winds keep the surface so stirred up
that malaria has no time to breed.
More than this, the water always
being fresh and pure and free from
malaria or disagreeable smells the
bath is always invigorating instead
of weakening, and the bather comes
from the water freshened and stim-
ulated instead of worn out and lam
guild.
Point Pleasant is the grand
point of observation to all who wish
to see and enjoy the beauties of this
marvelously magnificent lake.
Extending from the northwest
far into its waters, with North Bay
stretching away to the left, and
West Bay to the right, the beholder
can stand facing old Stony Point,
away beyond which lies the South
Bay, and to the LETT of which
stretches the wooded outline of
East Bay, and almost the whole
lake lies under his eye. Here, of n
summer evening, when the waters
lie placid beneath the setting sun,
may be seen as grand and beautiful
il sight as earth affords. for Mime
sofa sunsets are famous for tint and
brilliancy. and here lake and wood
and sky combine to add lustre and
effect. The lake gives back both
sky and shore in all their luminous
grandeur. and the beholder stands
entranced by the vivid picture,
while night steals on and gradually
tones down the lights and length
ems and deepens the shadows which
settle from the west, as one by one
the stars peep out and watch the
earth, and the rising zephyr fans
the waters and the trees.
One great advantage in the loca-
ton at Point Pleasant for hotel
purposes is that the hot south or
southwest winds which so weaken
and enervate in summer come to
Point Pleasant across two or three
miles of water, and instead of being
hot and dry and exhausting, they
come fresh and invigorating.
The ''point' contains about five
acres, and is for the most part cov-
cred with its original forest trees,
which furnish grateful shade upon
the grassy lawn to the guests of
the place.
The buildings are not snowy nor
elaborate, but the wide verandas
and shadowy walks give the whole
place an air of rest and cool COM
fort which are very enticing to the
summer rambler. At night you
retire in large cool room, to a
clean fresh bed, well aired, and in
every way conducive to slumber.
There are very few points in the
United States better adapted to the
recovery of wasted energies or the
building up of a broken down ner-
yous system than Point Pleasant at
Lake Madison.
The place is not a fashionable
resort as yet, and likely never will
De. Its present proprietor desires
% keep it as place where one may
est free from the labor and excite
nent incident to a large watering !

queness of it's lakes form a marked
feature in the scenery of Blue Earth
county. These lovely little sheets of
water are found dotting its surface in
nearly every section of the county,
sparkling on the open prairie, hidden
in the depths of its primeval forests
and glistening like gems of beauty.
They are from one to ten miles in
diameter. Some of them are of a
circular form, others of an exceed
ingly irregular outline. The waters
of these lakes are remarkably clear
and pure, resting upon basin of
quartzose sand and pebbles, among
which the jasper, agate and cOrnelian
appear conspicuous. Some of these
lakes are surrounded by hard gravelly
shores; others encircled by an embank.
ment several feet high; around some
the greensward touches the waters
brim; others are fringed with wild rice
and various aquatic plants of rare
beauty. These lakes abound with a
great variety CT fish of superior flavor
and quality; and in spring and autumn
they are the resort of immense num-
hers Of wild geese, ducks and other
water fowl.

AREAS, POPULATION AND FINANCES.
Blue Earth county has twenty
three organized townships, embrac.
ing 416,0 acres, about 100000 of
which are cultivated, divided into
1000 farms. Its population in 1850
was 1903, in 1880 was 22,395. The
percentage of increase in these twenty
years, us compared with that of the
state. was for Blue Earth county
1853 per cent; for the State of Mime
sofa, 454 per cent. The average rate
of increase each five years from 1850
| to 1880, was for Blue Earth county,
50 per cent; for the State of Mime.
sofa, Al per cent. In the northeast
part of the county the population is
largely composed of Germans. In
jamestown the Irish prevail. The
Welsh settle mostly in the towns
lying along the Minnesota river. and
Butternut Valley and Lincoln in the
western portion of the county are
largely occupied by Scandinavians.
There are however many Americans
in all these towns, as well as many
foreigners in those other towns in the
central and southern portions, which
are settled mainly by Americans.
The finances of the county are in
/ an excellent condition; county or.
ders have long been at par; there is
always a comfortable balance in the
treasury; taxes are light and prompt.

land held by spectators and kept ont
Of the market. The wild lands are
mostly for sale, and are so scattered
over the county that the immigrant
cannot fail to find Il suitable location,
whatever his taste may be. Unim.
proved lands are sold from IS to 800
an acre, and it is apparent to any one
that with the facilities for marketing
produce afforded by our numerous
competing lines of railroad, and the
superiority of air, soil and climate, a
farmer can make more money on
these lands at $40 an acre, than he can
in the Eastern States on lands worth
300 an acre.

OUR esteemed Republican fellow
citizens Of the press are extremely
anxious to organize an auti-Chi-
nese party for State purposes, and
they invite the Democrats to join
them In this laudable object. The
San jose Mercury and the San
Diego Union are prominent In this
slightly s'fresbu movement.
Thanks, gentlemen! We should
probably accept your suggestions
were it not for the fact that we al
ready have most admirable anti
Chinese party thoroughly organ

the HERALD on public questions.
The singular. and manly consist

recognition in all quarters. Secun-
dus, we always told the Working
men that their real place was in
the Democratic party. We tell
them 30 now. The only difference
between the circumstances now
and some years ago is that then,
through peculiar so-called reform
hocus-pocus, they did not believe
US. Now they do, and that on
ample grounds. We have always
been in favor of giving Working
men and ell square men the
weight to which they are entitled
in the real Workingmen's organ
ization, the Democratic party.
Tertius, the statement that the
Democratic party, in this State or

most impudent allegation, which,

Nurse, considering it trespass. pro-
cssded to turn the horses off, but
was confronted by Kirkendall, who
ordered him to desist. Nurse not
doing so, he was shot from his
