MEXICO, Mo-, Sept. 5.-The sue
cess of the fair just closed gives en-
couragement for the revival of the
old time Mexico fair. And it is to
be hoped the owners of the grounds
will see their way clear to organize
anew, put in a half mile track and
rel gain for Audrain and the sur
rounding counties the claim OF the
best fair in the state. We have an
established combination sale, which
draws buyers from every section and
| widely advertises Mexico as the
best horse market of the West.
Let the horse men get together and
start the move for a permanent fair.
They need not abolish the mile
track-retain it for training and one
or two events Of each meeting, but
give Us back the half mile track
where the spectator can keep his
eye upon Il favorite every step and
turn of the race and enjoy the ex-
citcment of the contest as it passes
the grand stand twice in amile
heat.
Audrain has cause of great con-
gratulations in the splendid show
made in the phenomenal saddle
ring, where Rex Mcdonald carried
off the honor in the $500 purse
beating the renowedkentucky mare,
Lou Chief. Rex Mcdonald is an
all round home product, bred and
raised in our county, having been
selected as colt to head the stud
of the Freeman Elm Stock Farm,
and was developed into the
splendid winner he is by the junior
member of that firm, Mr.. VIM. B.
Freeman. Rex bears the impress
in every gait of patient training and
unexcelled judgment and care.
While the younger Freeman, from
his quiet, unobtrusive, business'like
disposition, is not prominent at the
gratifying shows made by his horse,
yet ne is known and appreciated by
t all horse men, and to him is award
ed the nearly faultless development
: of Rex; of this, visitors at Elm
! Stock Farm need not be told, but
in summing up the results OF the late
great fair, business must award
to Willie Freeman the credit for q
large share of the pride our home
folks feel in the gratifying result OF
our challenge to the world. Nor,
would we forget in this mention the
: need of merit due G. +. Clark who
had the nerve to shoulder the ex.
pertinent of fair, and whose con.
: scientious meeting of all the re.
sponsibilities of management and
finances has revived the reputation
and credit of a Mexico fair.

Mosley's COal Shaft Fire.

M0sley's Coal Shaft Fire.
From the Fulton tMo.I Journal
Last week we published an article,
which We found in the Mexico LED
GER written by John Harrison, of
Fulton.
The article caused no little COM
ment among our citizens, and as we
gave no account of the fire at the
time it occurred, except to state that
there had been fire, We have taken
some pains to get the facts, and
learn the ''inside.''
The shaft was burned and it is
conceded by everybody that 1t was
burned purposely by someone. We
have not the remotest idea who COM
mitled the deed, however, but that
the Fulton Fire Brick Company, or
any person connected with the COM
pany, had anything TO do with it, or
even had any knowledge or intima-
ton that the shaft was to be fired, e,
we do not believe, nor does any other
person who is acquainted with the
character of the men composing the
company. Mosley, whose shaft was
burned. is now in the employ OF the
Fire Brick Company and has no
grievance against the company. He
was engaged in a retail business
while the Fire Company did a whole.
sale business, taking and filling con-
tracts.
There was no competition as far
as we have been able to learn, be-
tween Mosley's business and the Fire
Brick Company's business. The
one did a wholesale aod the other
retail business, hence there could be
no competition. Mr.. Harris says he
believes it was stated that the strik-
ing miners burned the shaft. We
have heard no one say so, and have
been unable to discover any motive
that might cause the burning by a
striker. The mine does not seem to
have been in their way, and the
miners, as Mr.. Harris says, offered
to give Ga days work to rebuild.
Therefore, while it is not known
who started the fire, yet it was
probably some persons who have
not yet been suspicioned.

says: What, no! Free wool was to

yet the price of wool is already stiff

ton Reporter asserting that our
manufacturers are going to make as
cheap and good goods as can be
made anywhere else in the world.
If this thing keeps up even the
Ohio Woolgrowers' Association will
be so busy with its own affairs that
it will have no time to continue

iod and the reactionary changes and
storms due centrally on the oath to 18th.
Another cool d~ash-severe enough to
bring frost in the north-will follow
storms about these dates. The month
will end with o growing warm wave and
with storms advancing from western ex
tremes OF the country.
Without useless forehoding and dread,
we may reasonably expect tornado
storms in many places during the storm
periods in April. The times OF greatest
earthquake probability will be abb ut the
New Moon on the 9th and the Full Moon
on the 10Th. Before the end OF April
the season will be well opened, with a
propitious outlook for all who have their
agricultural interests well in hand, and
whosare planning for early crops.

April will open with temperature re-
acting into warmer, and during LIST to

to warmer and storms in extreme eastern
parts Of the country until about April

ing required for storm conditions to de-
velop and travel from the points OF their
beginning in the west. 1t will be wise
to anticipate hail with any well defined
storm from this time to the end OF April.
Very warm days will usher in each regu-
lar storm period, and cold is apt to bring
up the rear OF every general disturbance.
From the 9th to 9th falls a storm period,
with the new moon at an eclipse node
on the 9th. BY that date q warm wave
Of marked intensity will show itself in

low and falling, and storms OF rain and
hail, with snow foliwing In the north,

will be prudent To count on general and
severe disturbances from the 9th to 9th,
and to expect cold, with frost and light
freezing as the storm area works east

The opposition Of the planet Saturn on

Piitsbnrg and Chicago seem to have
