Several members of the democratic and populist judicial committees of tlio Ninth district held a political con ference In Norfolk Thursday afternoon but the conference was not productive of results. The mooting of the com mittees had been culled to discuss ju dicial politics In this district , where there has been a dearth of candidates on the fusion side on account of the strength of Judge Welch. No candidates for judicial honors came to Norfolk Thursday nor were tlio comnilttoemen who met hero aware of any attorneys who aspired for the fusion nomination. With no candi dates In sight and not deeming It ex pedient to formally endorse a repub lican for the nomination the commit tee loft Norfolk without taking action. It was suggested , however , that It might be quite possible that , if no dem ocrats or populists entered their names with the secretary of state , enough democratic and populist voters would write Judge Welch's name on the pri mary ballot to glvo him a fusion nom ination. And it Is quite possible that thin Is what may happen If the pri mary ballots of the minority parties appear with the jiulgeship blank. Members of the committees in Nor folk Thursday afternoon wore : O. A. Williams. Nellgh , populist ; C. S. Ev ans , Norfolk , populist ; Douglas Cones , Pierce , democrat ; Fred II.

Out of Door Recreation Fine Stuff , But There Are Ethics In It Chicago Trlbuns : Picnicking is a pastime that never goes out of fash ion. Other and more violent out of door Joys have their day and go their way , but an long as people like to eat and to bo in the open air the happy combination of the two joys that pic nics afford wll Inlwaya bo popular , ut , as William Morris long ago point- 1 out to the British workmen , there ro certain duties devolving upon the OI-HOII who eats out of doors , and no of those Is that he should leave o evil traces of his gitstntory delights olilnd him. A picnic at a certain tngo In Its development , when the overs are laid for Individuals and for iiBoets , Is an edifying sight , but too 'roqiiently the wayfarer who happens pen the Bcono a few hours later finds 10 edibles without the edification. It H not Impossible for the out of door Iner to cover up the traces of bin astronomical pleasures nnd he should eel that ho owes It to the Inndscapo s well as to possible and prospective njoyors of thin landscape not to mar lie beauty of the place by any mate- Inl reminder of the fact that men must at In order to live.

FITTING CLIMAX TO MOST SUC CESSFUL SERIES. FORDICE WINS THE FREE-FOR-ALL CAPTAIN MACK ALMOST TOOK BIGGEST EVENT OF ALL. ALL OF NORTH NEBRASKA HERE With Ideal Weather Conditions the Norfolk Race Meeting for 1907 Came to an End Fastest Mile of Series Was by Captain Mack , 2:18. : [ From Friday's Daily. ] With an attendance ranging well Into the thousands , Friday , "Norfolk day" at the races , furnished n fitting climax for the most successful racing meet In the recent history of Norfolk. With an Ideal racing day nnd a splen did field of horses for the last day the races closed with an outburst of spirit that will last over to the next season. Thursday the attendance was esti mated at twenty-live hundred but the hundreds of' north Nebraska race watchers and base ball "fans" who swarmed through the driving park en trance Friday overshadowed the at tendance of the day previous. It was "Norfolk day" on the pro gram but though business was sus pended along the avenue and most all Norfolk seemed at the driving park the enthusiastic crowd that cheered the closing races was thoroughly rep resentative of north Nebraska. An hour before the first heat was rung on the grand stand had received its full quota of spectators. The pad dock swarmed with carriages , the ball diamond held its hundreds and the quarter stretch enthusiasts were out In doubled numbers. The races of the day were harness events of the kind that makes the race track popular. The first race on the program had qualities that pleased and the "free for all" was the fast race of the meet Friday's races made a very proper climax to the big suc cessful meet in Norfolk that opened the racing season in north Nebraska. The day was ideal for the race , the track hard and fast The weatherman has had a smile for Norfolk and Fri day he did his best. Tuesday's shower followed by three perfect days of sun shine gave the track. Fast horses and north Nebraska crowds fitted In. The Norfolk band , which has won high favor with the race crowds , held Its place on the program and inter spersed the heats with lively dashes of music. The judges for the Friday races were W. C. Caley of Crelghton , Alex Peters of Norfolk , Tim Preeco of Bat tle Creek. The timers for the closing races were D. D. Brunson of Norfolk , R. F. Kltterman of Stanton , P. J. Me- Manus of O'Neill. Free .For All. The "free for all , " the big race of the meet , was taken by Fordice , a fast stopper from Illinois. The fastest mile was made by Captain Mack , the Pierce horse taking the first heat In 2:18 : and coming in for the second money. The 2:18 : mile was the record for the 1907 meet The special prize for a 2:15 : mark was not taken and the 2:1C record set at last year's meet was not touched. But though the pace was not fast enough to touch the record mark , the "free for all" was n great race , the ell max of Norfolk's most successful rac Ing meet. Pearl Sherbet , Fordlco , Captain Mack and Bessie G were sent to the wire for the "free for all , " for which Norfolk had been waiting three days Captain Mack took the first heat In 2:18. : It was a great race with Cap tain Mack , Bessie G , and Fordice press ing for honors. The splendid animals came down the track together , the Pierce horse getting under by more than a length , Bessie G and Fordlco swinging under almost together. Fordlco won the second heat Time 2:19. : It was another horse race , Cap tain Mack nnd Bessie G. pushing the winner. Pearl Sherbet got the flag. Fordlco and Captain Mack were lef alone in the struggle for rank In the third heat The flag had eliminated Pearl Sherbet and Bessie G was taken out on account of sickness. Neck to neck the two fast horses passed rounc the track , Fordlco passing under the wire Just ahead of the Pierce horse. It was Fordlco's race in the fourth heat. Captain Mack trailed close be hind but the Pierce horse could no como to the front when they thundered down the homo stretch. Summary of the "freo for all : " Fordlco , s. g.

Lovell , driven by Lugenbell and en tered by H. F. Smith of Salem , won the first race of the afternoon In three straight heats. Shady O'Neill pushed the winner hard but Lovoll had a re serve of speed that won the day. Lov ell set the pace throughout the raco. Shady O'Neill was a popular favorite and came in for second money. Hen ry Patton followed thu O'Neill horse for third money. Bessie Billion ranked fourth. Flvo horses came under the wlro for the 2:50 : trot or pace : Shady O'Neill , Minnie Uneoda , Lovell , Henry Patton and Bessie Billion. Shady O' Neill was the favorite and enough of the O'Neill delegation had remained over from Thursday to greet the bay mare from O'Neill with hearty ap plause. Lovoll took the first heat , closely pressed by Shady O'Neill who swung- Into the quarter stretch in fourth place but at a pace that dropped Hen ry Patton and Bessie Billion Into third and fourth rank. The O'Neill mare mndo a great finish but an early break had sent her too far back to push the dust In front of Lovell. Time , 2:24 : % .

On both Thursday and Friday every team In the town was engaged to bring county seat people to Norfolk , and trains brought others of them by the score. Norfolk has reason to appreciate the remarkable attendance at the races from every town within a radius of 150 miles. Sheriff Dwyer of Pierce county , who drove down , said that everybody In Pierce was In Norfolk who could get here , and that there would have been 150 moro If they could have found means of transportation.
