The two days' race meeting which is to bo held in Norfolk this month , three weeks away and already interest has begun to develop In the prospec tive events. Norfolk has had nothing along the line of a race meeting for so long that the speeding of well bred horses will undoubtedly attract un usual interest from all of this section of the state. The fact , too , that Nor folk Is the gateway to the short ship ment circuit will aid In drawing the best horses. One short shipment cir cuit In Illinois has been advertised recently quite extensively because there were five race meets and the total mileage Is but 110 miles. North ern Nebraska can almost beat that. There are six racing events and the total mileage is less than 150 miles. Tramps are a good deal like children when a policeman gets hold of them and their pleas are about as frequently repeated as are those of the small boy who wants to go fishing. The crowd that were locked up yesterday morn ing and later sent out of town over the railroad ties , asked over and over again if they mightn't be allowed to stay In town , or go the other direction or what not. They were herded out north of town and told to get out. They WPIO ordered to move east. Instead of that they turned toward the west. Driven back by the officers they Mop ped and tried arguing with the police men. Most of them were on crutches. One old man , qulto under liquor's In fluence , would walk only a few feet before he would turn and come back to the police officers. "Look here , Chief , " ho would say , "I'm an old man and so are you. Now look here , Chief , let mo go back. " A singular feature about them was that they all spoke the word "Chief , " just as easily as though they had been doing it every day of their lives. "When wo got out of town , can't one of come back to got something to eat ? " one of the cripples asked. And when he found that not even one could return , he asked again. "Why didn't you buy something to eat Instead of spending your money for booze , " asked the of ficer , "Oh , wo had money for both booze and grub , " said the tramp. The man who wants a man and the man ho wants may get acquainted through NOVTB want ado. NOT A FULL CROP IN ANY PART OF THE COUNTRY. TOTAL FAILURE IN PORTIONS. Western Fruit Grower Hns Compiled Estimates of the Crop In All Parts of the Country Arkansas and Coast Dest Fixed. The Western Fruit Grower of St. Joseph , Mo. , has compiled statistics on the fruit crop for the present sea son that show there will ho a light crop with prices ruling strong and Its advice to growers Is that the supply In sight should bo carefully gathered and cared for as the prospects arc that such care will pay good returns. The reports rocolvod cover the greater portion of the country and are declared to bo reliable. They range from total failure of fruits In some sections of the country to an eighty- live per cent crop on strawberries which have been gathered.

Secretary Goodman of the Mlsourl society summarizes the situation as follows : The prospect , so far as heard from , shows less than half a crop In New York , a little more than half a crop in Michigan , but a still larger per- j centago in the now western and Pa cific states. Tills justifies us In saying i that the prices will bo fairly good and that It will pay to take care of all our apples. Grapes will he an abundant crop. Peaches , of course , are a failure. Pears a very light crop. Plums a very good crop. In the detailed acocunt of conditions Arkansas and the Pacific coast points show up to the best advantage. Ne braska reports a ton to twenty per cent apple crop ; Arkansas has about a 75 per cent apple crop. Other re ports on the apple situation show the following prospects : Colorado 40 to 50 per cent ; Illinois from almost a total failure to 40 per cent ; Indiana 30 to 35 per rent ; Kansas notlUng to 15 ! per cent ; Massachusetts 40 to 50 per cent ; Michigan 5 to 75 per cent ; Missouri 10 to 50 per cent ; Now York 20 to 50 per centOhlo ; 15 to 20 per cent ; Oregon 50 to 75 per cent ; Pen nsylvania 1 , " to 75 per cent.
