Sixty Miles of LOcusts.

The African Steamship company's
steamer Winnebah, which recently ar
rived from West Africa at Liverpool,
had a most unusal experience when
steaming between the ATTITUDES of Cape
Verde and st. Louis, Senegal. For 60
miles thevessel steamed through locusts,
which were so thickly packed together
on the top of the water that they COM
pletely covered the surface for miles
around; indeed they appeared to be ly-
ing on the sea as far as the eye could
reach. The locusts had, no doubt, been
blown from the Morocco coast into the
sea. They resembled gigantic grasshop-
pers, and one which was secured was 5
inches in length. OF course all of the
locusts had been drowned.-W estmin-

THE USUAL treatment of catarrh is very
unsatisfactory, as thousands can testify.
Proper local treatment is positively neces-
sary to success, but many, if not most, of
the remedies in general use afford but tenn
porary relief. A cure certainly cannot be
expected from snuffs, powders, douches,
and watches. Ely's Cream Balm, which
is so highly commended is a remedy which
combines the important requisites of quick
action, specific curative power, with perfect
safety and pleasantness to the patient The

POINT PLEASANT.

The present summer has developed
the fact that Point Pleasant, Madison
Lake, is rapidly growing in popular
ity. and with sufficient hotel accom-
modations it could be made one OF the
most popular resorts in the North
west. The hotel at the Point is full
to overlooking, every cottage is occu-
pied, and still the demand for room
continues far beyond present supply.
The growth of popularity at this beau
tiful and picturesque lake is almost
wholly attributable to the exception
ably management of the hotel OF Mrs.
Barclay and her sister, Mrs. Stokes.
Both ladies are charming, extremely
solicitious of their guests comforts,
and everything possible is done for
the pleasure of all. They have had
Jolly parties of pleasure seekers since
early in June, and bookings have been
made ahead until August. Today a
delegation arrived from FIT. Scott,
Kansas, all strangers to the lake, and
their report will next year bring new
delegations from that section.
Our citizens would do well to take
steps for the erection of large sum-
mer hotel at Madison Lake. Mr.. I'll.
P. Christensen has a delightfully."-
pleasant plat of ground overlooking
every portion of the lake, and which
he has appropriately named Fair
Point. 1t is all that the name i'm
plies, and with hotel there Of the
right proportions it would attract
hundreds of people who annually seek
other resorts and who cannot now be
cared for at Point Pleasant. Mr.. G.
has the plan for hotel which is
model for comfort and convenience,
and he is anxious to secure the forma-
tion of a company for its erection. He
also has plan for laying out and
identifying the grounds which, if
carried into execution would make it
a garden spot in which to spend the
heated term.
Our capitalists seem to underesti-
mate the value of Madison Lake as
summer resort, or if they do not they
certainly stand in the way of progress
by failing to become interested in it's
early development. Mr.. Christensen
has several times endeavored to push
his project to successful issue, but
he has not met with that success
which it should merit and which
would prove of great advantage to
Mankato were it accomplished.
We can bring hundreds OF people to
us if this popular resort is given half
a chance. Will we encourage them
to come here or will we continue to
send them away to less desirable sec
tions and lose that which naturally
belongs here and which is only await
ing an opportunity to have quarters
provided.
