THE LATHROP CRUSADE.
No Arrests Made as Yet-The
Mayor and City Ofdcials on
the Side Of the Saloon
Keepers.

Ward Thomas, ono of the saloon
keepers of Lathrop, has filed an &C
count for suit against Chas. P.
Jones, J. w. Walker and w. r.
Maret for $4,000 damages for in.
stituting tae crusade. Ward is also
the man who fled the affidavit
with Prosecuting Attorney Cross
for the arrest of forty-6ve ladies
and nine men, charging them with
riotous conduct and oonfiscation oi
private property.
It seems that these saloons had
for years run in open defiance
to the law. At Plattsburg the
saloons have been closed, as it wal
said to have been run by the sor
of one of the old time Ohio cru
saders and he felt that he wal
close to the deceiving buzz-saw
The agitation at Liberty and Smith
vile is great, and threatens at any
moment to eliminate in serious
trouble.
Ben Deering, the temperanc.
lecturer, is in Lathrop and states il
as his opinion that the crusad,
will spread over the entire
State. The ladies are endorsed BY
the press, the clergy and many
leading citizens of Lathrop, VIII,
throw the blame on the officials.

Mrs. NJ. A. Collins Offers $500
For the Discovery Of Her Hus-
bands Murderer-Au.
drain County Adds
600 to This.

Postal cards were sent out ali
over the country to-day bearing
the following:
1.-THE undersigned win pay $500
to the person or persons procuring
the arrest and conviction of the
murderer of e. A. Collins, who was
murdered in his bed near Rush
Hill, Audrain county, No., on the
night of the 17th Of November,
1889. A pstent-lever silver watch,
No. 10431, was taken at the same
time and the house robbed.
(Signe0 MRS. NJ. A. COLLINS.
In addition TO the above, the
county of Audrsin will pay 500 on
the same conditions.
(SigneO G. W. ADAMS,
Sheriff.
It IL hoped that this reward will
lead TO the discovery Of the person
who committed the foul deed.
The reward was not offered
sooner because of the fact that the
family OF the murdered man was
under suspicion Of committing the
crime, and any such demonstration
at that time would be looked upon
% an effort TO divert attention from
themselves /; but now since that
suspicion has been removed, the
reward 10 offered.
This large reward will put every
one on the lookout for q clue TO the
guilty one.

secured upon any other, while the
route passes through the finest and
