Mr.. Geo. W Hatnes, Editor Spirit
of Jefferson:
Dean S1R:-It is with pleasure
that accept your kind invitation to
give through the columns of your val
liable paper few words relating to
Kelley Institutes. 1 will confine
myself to the one situated in our
neighboring town, Hagerstown, Md,
under the management of Mr.. j. Il.
Hardin, of Washington. d. G. Five
weeks ago, whilst in very intoxica-
ted condition, / was induced by DR..
Fouke and Mr.. Har bin to try the
Kelley remedy for the liquor habit,
to which / had become perfe
slave. 1 arrived at the Institute about
1870 p. NJ. on Jan 21st, 1898, a
complete skeptio and glorious rip
roaring old drunk. The following day
1 began the treatment; on the 2nd
day began to think there was some :
thing in the Kelley treatment and
that there were other things tasted
better than whiskey; at all events
did not want any more of it, nor did
L take any. remained there for
the entire course, which is four weeks,
having at all times the liberty as
well as comforts of my own home,
without any restraint whatever,
and any one going there expecting To
find bars, guards, or the blood,
hounds of Uncle TOMS Cabin, s"
will be mistaken, returned home
some days ago, feeling better than 1
have for years, and heartily recon-
mend the Kelley treatment to all tip
piers of old John Barleycorn
Respectfully,

GOV. WAITE CALLS EXTRA SESSION
He Wants the Legislature to Enact the
Populist Platform.

DENVER, Dec. 25-Gov. Waite tonight
issued the long talked of call for a special
session OF the Legislature, TO meet January
10. The call consists of about 5000 ords
and mentions over thirty subjects on
which legislative action should be
taken, in the governors opinion.
The governor justifes the pro-
ciamation by declaring: ''The mining
interests of the state have been unjustly
and unconsiitutionally attacked by con-
gress and the present administration. The
panic has SO reduced values and increased
the burdens of taxation that the agricul-
turists. fruit growers and stock raisers
are obliged to sell their products below the
cost of production. and the extraordinary
measures now granted creditors in Colo
RADIO should be repealed. Appealing to
A nigh ty God for the rectitude of my in
tention and willing to assume the entire
responsibility OF the act. | issue thi. my
proclamation.
The first business for the legislature
suggested in the call is TO provide that all
silver dollars, domestic and foreign, con-
tanning not less than 35i,4 grains OF inc
silver. shall be legal tender for all debts
collectable in Colorado. The governor also
suggests passage of an act forbidding the
making of trust deeds. mortgages or obli-
cations of any kind payable in gold. and
tavors laws providing for issuance of certif-
icates Of small denominations In payment
for work on state canals. said certificates
10 be receivable for water carriage and
leasing or purchase of internal improve
ment lands. and TO be convertible, after
three years into 500 certificates He ap-
proves repeal of ali laws authorizing
issuance Of municipal bonds and the en-
actnent of a law TO provide for the issu-
ance Of certificates OF small denomina~
;ions IN payment for work of public i'm
provements. The governor also suggests
many subjects of legislation affecting vari-
ous local interests In the state.
