Quite a number of town folks, as
well as the band, attended the Rebers
burg band picnic last Saturday, which
was a very pleasant and successful af
fair. The weather was delightful, the
music of the Greenbtirr, Itebersburg

little sum out of it.

while on a professional visit to a pa

landed on the other side his left ankle
proved too weak for his weight and was
so badly sprained that for several days
he was unable to stand on the injured
limb. By good attendance and careful
nursing, we are glad to say, he has
greatly improved. We hone Shady will
remember in the future, when there is
a fence betwixt him and theother side,
that he must not leap over it, for "he
isn't built that way."

—No one, better than the mothers,
knows the amount of persuasion, threat
enings and force required to induce the
children to take, when necessary,a dose
of the nauseating, sickening worm
syrups; and no one more highly appre
ciates the virtues of McDonald's Cele
brated Worm Powders. So pleasant
and easy to take, so effective as a worm
destroyer, tho dose so small that the
children never know they are taking a
medicine. There is nothing in the
shape of a vermifuge that can compare
with them. Don't be deceived. Take
no other. Money refunded to dissatis
fied purchasers.

favored witli good theatrical troupes
and such is the case thii week. The
Sterling Comedy Company, consisting
of eight persons, and supporting that
excellent actor, Mr. W. It. Porter, ar

their series of plays in the town hall on
Monday evening with"Our Uncle from
Catteraugus," followed on Tueiday

and list night by "Rip Van Winkle."
The whole company is an experienced
and first-class set of actois, while Mr.
Porter, who carries the principal rolls
is a perfect success on the stage. Their
dramas are followed every evening by a
side-splitting negro farce, which gives
evidence that Mr. Porter and his fellow
actors areas much at home in comedy
as in tragedy. The company is well
equipped with suitable sceneries, while
the ladies have a pleasing'variety of rich
and tasty costumes. What is especially
commendable is that in all their perfor
mances there is nothing objectionable,
but they are of the highest and most
decent character. To-night (Thurs
day) they will play "Hazel Ivirke" and
we assure our readeis that they will
not regret going to see the renditious
this splendid dramatical company.

WHAT TIIBNKW TAX LAW Pons.—
That the new lax law is a very leuefl
ciai arrangement is amply shown by
the follow comparisons taken from last
week's Watchman* facts which are of
great Interest to nil t'x payers: The
whole amount of county taxes to be
collected this year is $3:5,500, against
$15,101 last year. The valuation of all
propei ty, real and personal, including
occupations, is $11.100.21, being only
SS,7SS less than last year, while the
taxes ate $11,r0"> less—the difference
in lax being th' > icduction of millage
from 4to 3 mills. That is to say, a
person who paid s<"> last year would on
ly nay $1.50 this year. Lust year the
whole amount of money at interest, in
eluding bonds, mortgages, &0., was
This year it is $2,873,747
a-graud difference of tuo million five
hundred and ninety thousand four hun
dred and eighteen dollars, the result of
the late revenue acr, an increase of
over eight hundred per cent, over last
year, the State tax last year being sl,-
ISO, while this year it is $9,045.
There are SSO moio taxables this
year than last. The real estate is val
ued at $121,002 00 less than last year.
The valuation of household furniture
has doubled last year's figures. The
value of pleasure carriages has increas
ed since last year $17,070, and tho tax
on watches is nearly twice as great as
it was last year, showing conclusively
that tho mainmnnth pink sheet of pa
per with which our citizens were pie
sented bv the several assessors had a sa
lutary effect in tho increase of State
tax.
Same time ago the ladies of the
W. 11. & F. M. Society of the Luther
an church of this place were busily en
gaged in manufacturing a quilt, com
posed of gay colored patches, which
were furnished by members and friends
of the society, at 5 cents a piece, each
patch bearing the name of the contribu
tor. This quilt was gotten up for and
sent to the Denver, Col. mission and
the following letter was received by the
society in reply to their handsome gift;
Denver, Col., July 20th, 'BO.
To the Ladies of the Millheim W.II.
& F. M. Society—Greetings in the
name of t ho I/ird Jesus.
Your kind souyenir in the shape of
a memorial quilt reached us safely and
was enjoyed as much as the giving, I
can assure you, though the Master
said "It is more blessed to give than to
receive." Yours the blessing, ours the
pleasure, and with us it shall abide.
No amount of money could purchase it,
1 assure you, unless it would be as sug
gested, for the benefit of the mission
and to the credit of your society. We
shall make no effort to dispose of it for
we do enj y the pleasant reminders in
our woik. Indeed there is nothing
cine is us more. The work is often
trying and dreadfully discouraging and
I cannot help the feeling some
times, "What is the use for this little
handful of people."
We have much to encourage us even
amid our trials. Not the least by any
means is the sympathy and thoughtfill
ness of cur fneuds in the East. I did
enjoy that passage in your letter which
sajs, "I can assure you that many
kind wishes and earnest prayers ac
companied many of the stitches."
Piayeis and sympathy go a great ways
in keeping a missionary's coinage up,
and courage is half the battle.
We enjoyed read'ng over the names
very much and when our eyes lighted
on the name of our dear departed Dr.
Weiser we were especially gl.ul that
aome 0110 remembered him. He long
ed to see a Lutheran church in Denver
and helped us plan and purchase the
lots, but before the work was finished
he was called home. His uame, how
ever, is on one of the windows and will
be on one of our pews.
We are greatly cheered by the inter
ested taken in our work by the Wo
man's Missionary Society of Millheim.
Surely your society has done well and
we will take great pleasure in securing
a pew for you and inscribing as you
suggest. If all the church had done as
well as your little congregation we
could build a Lutheran church in every
important point in Colorado. May the
Dear Master say to each one of vou in
that day, "She hath done what she
could." Asking for an abiding place
in your prayers and sympathies,
I remain Yours in Christ,
P. A. llkilman.
