L AL, LEARNED SOME THINGS, Result of Commissioner Timme's Trip to benver. County Commissioner George Timme, who attendea the trans-Mississippl congress at Denver, has returned, and aside from watch- 1ng the transaction of business, made some observations regarding county affairs. He 1s well pleased with the city, but does not re- gard Denver as much of & metropolitan city as Omaha. Ho found narrow streets, all of which are wholly unpaved. In speaking of taxes and assessments ho states that the valuation of Deuver, for as- sessment purposes, is placed at £6,000,000, which ho thinks is about one-third of the actual valuation of the city and county. Upon this valuation the levy is 11 mills for county which makes the taxes much higher where the property is assessed at one-fifteenth of its valuation and a levy of 14 mills mude on this, Mr. Timme claims that the peopi are cry- ine against high taxes and have but little to show for the money so raised.

Odd “iireaks” in Prayers. A Baptist deacon who was very sick was made the subject of prayer ut a Wednesday evening meeting, reports the New York Herald, One of the brethren, when called upon to pray, alarmed the audience by saying, “We thank Thee, O Lord, that Deacon D, is sick. We pray Thee that he may die, that he may die and go to h—, for we all know, O Lord, thatif he should go to h— he would break up the whole insti- tution inside of three days.” For the truth of this statement the Rev. C. De Witt Bridgman is responsible. It is said that many years ago the s of the t Presbyterian , Princeton, were asked on behalf of an aged ludy who was not expected to recover, The elder who led the devo- tions earnestly prayed “‘that she m be restored to health and strength once more go about like a roarir seeking whom she might devou truth of this may not be suti vouched for, but the I Aikman, formerly pastor of the Spring street church, atlivms that he once at- tended a prayer meeting in New Jersey, and one of the brethren called upon prayed that they might all go forth as *ealves of the stall” and bo made **inent for the kingdom of heaven,” a A Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.
