hundreds of carriages ran between the
precinct hoadquartcrs and every part cf
tho city conveying voters to and from
them.
The Mormons claim that fraud has
been tho order of the day with the Gen-
tiles and If they are victorious it will
have been by theso methods and in this
event they will contest the election to
the Supremo Court of tho United States.
The polls closed at six o'clock and the
Liberal leaders posted a bulletin in the
windows ot tho headquarters claiming a
majority of 1200. Tho news soon
spread over tho city and tho Gentiles
took possession. Flags wero run up and
every Gentile building in the city was
decorated. Fireworks were sent up
from hundreds of housetops cannons
boomed and bonfires were seen upon
every corner and hundreds of men in
lino paraded the streets with drums and
torches shouting Hko wild men over
their victory.
Tho Mormons remain indoors and have
nothing to say on tho result except that
tho election was carried by fraud and
that they will surely contest it They
admit their defeat but claim the major-
ity will not exceed 400. ;
Tho official returns froasjwvvry pre-
cinct in tbo city but ono give George M.
Scott Gentile for mayor 1240 Totes;
Spencer Clawson Mormon 532. Re-
turns from tho remaining precinct will
probably swell Scott's majority to S50.

ing at the Opera House Excitement In-
tense. LATHRor Mo. Feb. 1L Tho excite-
ment in this city over the women's
crusade of Friday afternoon against the
only two saloons In town is in-
creasing. While a majority of the cit-
izens side with tho women there are a
number who disapprove of the measures
adopted and a bitter feeling has been
engendered which years will not oblit-
erate. Tho mass meeting of citizens
held yesterday afternoon only intensi-
fied tho bitterness. The opera house was
crowded.
Whilo men. women and children wero
shouting at tho opera house over the
resolutions denouncing tho liquor traffic
and Indorsing the crusaders Thomas
Ward the proprietor of ono of tho
raided saloons swore out an affldav't
charging nino men and forty-five women
with riot and Prosecuting Attorney
Cross declares that this makes it his
duty as an officer to prosecute them. He
will have them arrested.
Tho women seem prouder than ever
of their achievement and tho four min-
isters who mado speeches yesterday
spoko ot their action as the action ot
"angels from Heaven. Tho local
photographer was again on hand and ho
tock another group picture ot tho
"angels" whom the prosecuting attor
ney declares will bo arrested.
The mass meeting was extensively
advertised. From nearly every pulpit
in tho eastern part of the county It was
announced. Rev. W. A. Crouch of
Turncy who is an apostle for aU the
Baptists in this section of tho county
wss Invited to addrcssthc gathering and
so was James M. Bobart president ot
the First National Bank of Plattsburg
and formerly ot Lathrop.
The proposition to move on Platts-
buig has been rescinded because of tho
advice ot wiser heads and tho women
who formed the band of crusaders ex-
plained at yestcrday'smeotingthat they
only Intended to do this In case they
wero arretted.
Affairs in this community aro ap-
proaching a crisis which the citizens do
not seem to appreciate. Tho prosecut-
ing attorney is a man of pronounced
convictions and can not falter without
showing the white feather. A petition
will unquestionably bo presented him
asking him to resign and to this peti-
tion he will pay no attention whatever.
Cross has many friends and Ward tho
saloonkeepor also has a following.
Tho arrests may not bo made until
excitement somewhat subsides.

submission.
During the last ten years tho popula-
tion of New York according to the esti-
mates of tho health department has in-
creased about one-third or something
like 400000. That is the gain in the
number of inhabitants since 1SS0 ha
been nearly equal to tho whole popula-
tion of the town forty or forty-five years
ago. The proportionate increase In
Brooklyn isestimatedto have been even
greater or hard on one-halt in tho ten
years and tho population ot the towns is
now probably 200000.
