ness. He said it was very strange
to him how any father could sign a
license for saloons who was raising
up children that might be ruined
by it. He advised every church
member to stand true to the prin-
ciples they protested. Elder Hill

WAITE'S EXTRA SESSION.
COl0radO's Governor Calls 1t Against
General Advice.

DENVER, Col, Dec. 26.-Gov.
Waite last night issued his much
discussed call for an extra session OF
the State Legislature against the adj
vice OF pretty nearly every business
man of prominence in the common
wealth. The call contains 5000
words and 80 subjects for discussion
and are called to the legislators at
tention.
The Governor justifies his procla-
nation by declaring ''the mining
interests of the State have been I'M
justly and unconstitutionalIy at
tackled by Congress and the present
administration; that the public has
SO reduced values and increased
burdens of taxation hal agricultur-
lists, fruit growers and stock raisers
are obliged to sell their products be-
low the cost OF production and that
the extraordinary remedies now
granted to creditors in Colorado
should be repealed. Appealing to
Almighty God for the rectitude of
my intention and willing to assume
the entire responsibility Of the act,"
the Governor solemnly declares,
81 do issue this, my proclamation"
The first "business' for the Leg
islature suggested in the call is to
provide that all silver dollars, do
mestic and foreign, containing not
less than 3714 grains of fine silver,
shall be legal tender for all debts
collectable in Colorado.
The Governor also suggests the
passage of an act forbidding the
making of trust deeds, mortgages or
obligations of any kind payable in
gold, and many similar suggestions.

Christmas Entertainments.

Correspondence of the Ledger.
LADDoNIA, Mo-, Dec. 26-The
Baptist Sunday School gave an en-
tertainment and Christmas tree las.
night. The music was very good.
Mrs. Collins presided at the organ
and played some lovely music,
while the singing was excellent.
The Rotations were good and Old
Santa gave each a present.
The NJ. E. Church Sunday School
entertainment was interesting, very
amusing and instructive. Rev.
Reno and his wife assisted in its
management. The quaintest little
house was built from which a brick
chimney proceeded, anu Santa drew
a great many nice presents from it
for the school. The dialogue rem
dered by Mrs. Poor, Misses Sicily,
Barger and others was well spoken
and left 4 good impression. The
sermon on bricks, by Pat Derrick,
was we'll reeited. Willie Poor's
recitation was excellent.
The Christian School gave their
entertainment Saturday night. They
had a beautiful tree. The music
was excellent; The Rotations, many
OF them, were very fine.
The public tree at the hail was
full OF nice presents. Take it all
together this has been a happy
Christmas in Laddonia.

QuINLAN In JAIL.
Sheriff Stepheas Finds Him at Work
ON the Secti0n--Had no Idea
or Leaving.

The report circulated to-day that
Thomas Quinlan, who killed the
tramp in the west end of the coun.
ty, had skipped his bond, was
without foundation. Quinlan is in
the Mexico jail. Sheriff Stephens
went after him Tuesday night and
found him at work on the section
Wednesday morning. The more light
that was thrown on the matter the
better satisfied the officers became
that Quinlan should be in Jail and
his bondsmen had no objection to
giving him up. Quinlan appears
to take the matter easy and refuses
10 talk to the reporters, growing out
'there is time enough to talk when
the time comes" He says he has
$1,000 in the bank, but is not going
to hire a lawyer. He says he is
going to leave that money to his
family and will die before he will
spend a cent OF it. One of the
section men wanted as a witness
will be arrested at once and held
for the trial.
QUINLAN CONDEMNED.
The Moberiy Democrat sent a re-
porter to Sturgeon this week to in
vestigate the killing of tramp by
Q%uinlan, the section boss, in this
county. We elliptic following from
a long article in. that paper, headed
murder in cold blood"
Thos. Quinlan was seen by a
Democrat reporter, and said he was
glad he did it, and that if he had
it to dc over again he would kill the
three. He said he had been so
worried with tramps in the last
month that he decided upon max
ing an example of some of them
the first opportunity he got.
The coroner Of Audrain county
held an inquest over the remains
yesterday afternoon.
Quinlan is now under arrest.
An old bible and a recent num-
Der of the Christian Advocate were
found in the pockets Of the de-
ceased. The bible was worn con-
siderably and almost every verse in
it had some word, phrase or SEN
tence underscored or commented
upon.
He had in his possession several
letters from residents of Chicago,
and from the language used in these
one would infer that the parties hav-
ing written them were well educat-
ed.
There is much bitter feeling
against the murderer and although
he has always borne a good reputa-
ton, it will go rather hard with
him as the tramps had no weapons
on their person, and notwithstand-
ing Quinlan claims he shot in self
defense, the prosecution can show
that they meant only to get an apol-
ogy from him for the rough way
they were handled.
The Democrat reporter visited
Sturgeon, near the scene, and found
its inhabitants talking about moth
ing else but the murder. A few ex-
cited individuals favored handling
Quinlan in a rough manner and
thus save the state the trouble of
trying the case, but they were soon
quoted by theircool headed friends.

Baptist Sunday School Entertainment.

The usual order of things was
reversed by the Baptist Sunday
School this year. Instead of the
children receiving presents, they
gave to those who are less fortunate
in this worlds goods. The seating
capacity of this church is almost
one thousand. Nearly every seat
was filed to witness the entertain
ment by the little folks on Sunday
night. The exercises consisted of
Christmas carols and recitations by
the children, and a beautiful ten
minutes sermon by the p%aster, all
bearing on the birth of Christ, the
origin of Christmas and true Chris
tan giving. At the close of these
exercises, a march was played by
the organist and the children came
forward and filled the barrels, placed
in front OF the altar for the recep-
ton of articles, each child giving
something-an apple, orange, little
sacks of candy, dolls, toys, books
or clothing. The older folks, too,
participated in this part of the en-
tertainment, bringing baskets OF
potatoes, sacks of flour, dressed
chickens, turkeys, sacks of sausage
and money. All went home pro-
nouncing it the most successful en-
tertainment ever given by this
church, and feeling that 'It is more
blessed to give than to receive"
Monday morning many homes were
frightened and little hearts made
glad by the nice baskets of good
things left at their doors.
