RACING AT THE FAIR
Every Contest Decided in Three
Straight Heats New Track
Record by Cheerful Charlie

Caledonia County Fair for 1913
closed last Friday and was generally
credited with being a successful ex-
hibition. 1t was more than an av-
erage exhibition of Caledonia coun-
ty live stock. There was a good at
tendance on Wednesday and Thurs
day and a fair attendance for a clos
ing day on Friday. Several outsid-
ers have suggested that three days
exhibition with free hay and straw
for exhibitors for the three days
might attract still more county stock
than was shown this season. With
the events crowded into three days
things would be livelier and ex-
penses less for both exhibitors and
the management.
There was no balloon ascension
on Wednesday which disappointed
the crowd but on Thursday and Fri
day there were satisfactory ascen-
sions. The grand cavalcade of the
stock on exhibition was q display
that would do credit to the largest
fairs in the country.
Nine races were pulled off on the
three closing days of the fair, three
on Wednesday, two on Thursday
and four on Friday. There was
little excitement about them as the
winning horse in each event was
never headed and each event was
won in three heats. The best racing
was on Friday when Cheerful
Charlie reduced the track record to
2.15 in the second heat of the 2.13
pace. General Garth, driven by
xr04r To, 80
orite and the big gelding had an
easy time getting first place. Young
Carr kept close watch of the other
horses and whenever there was any
danger called for more speed and
the General promptly gave it. He
made the last heat in his race in
2.24H and could have done better
than that if it had been necessary.

of Terre Haute only today awoke from

Wherever possible families were segre-

rated and privacy maintained.
The small home owners have been

life. Furniture will be bought with
public funds and will be presented to
families who cannot otherwise replace
their ruined belongings.
Scores of the homeless have found q

FATAL TORNADO OFF
MAP, AYERS MOORE
Weather Chief Sees No More
Danger in West-Predicts
Drop in Temperature.

The tornado which caused such wide
spread destruction in Omaha Sunday
night is "off the map" so far as any
further difficulty is concerned, and
there is little likelihood that there will
be another similar disturbance in that
locality for some time, according to
Willis L. Moore, chief of the United
States Weather Bureau here today.
Mr.. Moore declared that the disturb
ance around Omaha was purely local,
and grew out of peculiar conditions in
the territory just east of the Rocky
mountains. in the great plains district.
The path of the area of low barome-
trio pressure was toward the northeast,
and 1t has passed UP into the vicinity
of the st. Lawrence river, greatly re-
duced and practically negligible as far
as further trouble is concerned" said
Mr.. Moore.
Two-Air Areas Cross.
THE disturbance has been followed
by falling temperatures all through the
region around Omaha. This is quite
characteristic, and indicates that there
should be no further difficulty there for
the present. The tornado was caused
tions in the localities affected. The
region had been affected by warm
temperatures. with winds moving north
west The northwest section around
North Dakota had been having low tenn
peratures. with winds moving southeast.
THE crossing of these two air areas,
with the cold area at the top, caused
condition comparable to that in the at
mosphere at the time of a thunderstorm.
The warm air. seeking to rise, encounter
ed the cold currents seeking to descend,
and set up eddies which caused the tor
nado, Unless these same conditions
arise there can be no further tornado
in the vicinity Of Omaha.
No Cause for Alarm.
Reports of another storm which is
assembling over the Rocky mountains,
are not a cause for alarm" said Mr..
Moore, This storm is largely a fol-
lower of tornado conditions. II is af-
fecting practically the entire Northwest.
Reports from towns all over Montana,
the Dakotas. Nebraska, and other
States in that region indicate low tenn
peratures At Havre. Mont, the tenn
perature reported today was IL degrees
below zero At other cities near Oma-
ha, low temperatures are also reported,

where the temperature was reported
this morning to be 26 degrees. In Chi
cago the thermometer registered 30, and
there were brisk north winds and light
calities through the Northwest and
great plains localities.

Spring Uniforms Are
Ordered for Police

Another harbinger of spring was seen
today when orders were issued from
Police Headquarters for patrolmen on
duty during the day to wear their frock
coats. These are the medium-weight
coats and the order brought a sigh of
relief from the men who have been
wearing heavy winter overcoats during
the warm weather of the last three
