Piattsmouth opened the scoring from the "jump off" and before the Nebraska City athletes realized it a field goal had been made by the visitors. This was immediately followed by two field goals by Casebeer and Albers. The re mainder pf the period was very fast with each team scoring eight points each. Albers of Nebraska City was loudly applauded when he threw a basket from a position at the side of the goal, one of the most difficult plays of the season. In the second period the visitors repeated their play of the start of the game and scored a basket from the "tap off" but were unable to make another point during the re mainder of the half. Nebraska City in the first half solved the style of play of the visitors and by clever work prevented them from scoring the remainder of the half. Nebraska City made eleven points this session. Piattsmouth put up one of the fastest games seen on the local floor this season and despite the difference in the score it was a hard fought victory. ......

Street Gloves Hats New Caps years standing with Mr. Hollmoyer, who came originally from Aurora, Indiana, and met the lady who later became his wife while living in Chi cago, residing near the home of the present Mrs. Hollmeyer and at that time the wife states he was a genial and most companionable gentleman and attracted many friends and it was from Chicago that he entered the army. 'The lives of the two crossed again in the last year when Mr. Holl meyer, who had been an employe of the Burlington store -department here suddenly left here about the first of August and located at Springfield, Missouri, where he was employed as a deputy U. S. marshal during the later days of the railroad strike and was there until Christmas. Friends here understood, however, he was a railway mail clerk running between Kansas City and Springfield. It was while in Springfield that he gQt in touch with the lady of his former ac quaintance. . The couple were married in Den ver, on January 10th, Mrs. Holl meyer states and returned to Kansas City, where 'they lived for the brief span of their married life and it was there that the. wife noticed the ap parent Irresponsibility of the husband and his prodigal manner. The wife states that on one occa sion' he scattered a large number of $1 bills over one of the leading cafe3 of Kansas City, and gave little regard for money apparently. Later he told the wife that he was going to Omaha and would vtltq her as soon as' he ar rived there, but, so far there has been no' intimation " of his where abouts and no message from him to the bride. In hopes of hearing some word of his whereabouts she came to this city but ,. the. friends helre have! no knowledge' of his present location.! To the Journal representative Mrs. Hollmeyer expressed -her high regard of the husbandand her opinion 13 that he has been' engaged in some oc- cupation that he' regards as menial and does not Care to let her know, : as she states he was very high mind ed and loved the attractive and lux urious things of life, and perhaps this causes him to refrain from send ing her word. . During his residence here, Mr. Hollmeyer made many friends as he was a very affable and genial gentle man and his early training had been of the best as he was a gentleman at all times, but to those with whom he was the most intimate, he pre served a secrecy as to his past and his leaving here was as sudden as was that at Kansas City, as without any apparent reason he took hia de parture from this city without a word to any of the friends and had not been heard from until the receipt of a message by Legion officials from Kansas City a few days ago inquir ing as to his whereabouts and stating the fact of his marriage.

Prom Saturday's Dally. This morning a case wa3 filed in the district court by William A. Rob ertson as attorney for Kenneth, Al bert and Raymond Gerdes against John P. Gerdes et al, in which the plaintiffs seek to have their rights K the estate of Martha Gerdes fixed by the court. Tho nl.i int Iffa were adooted child ren of the Gerdes family and were j adopted in September, 1917, and ! since that time Mrs. Martha Gerdes has died and the estate placed in the ( hands of C. S. Aldrich as adminis along the lines of handling boj-s that would fit them for the position oi head of the organization. The need of the scouts has been felt not only by the boys who were members., but by the parents and those interested in the boys who real ized the importance of this lino of work for the young lads of the com munity. This need has resulted in a general attempt to revive the orga nization and a committee composed of E. H. Wescott, W. G. Kieck, C. F. Schmidtmann and Dr. R. P. Westover was named to sound out the possi bilities of getting back on its feet the once active troops of boys. In searching for a leader for the scouts, the committee was fortunate iu securing C. H. Peden. science teacher of the high school, and . a young man who has had a great deal of work with boys and is eminently well qualified for the position, and the gratification of the committee at his acceptance was most profound and one of the chief obstacles to the formation of the troop was removed. Henry Leacock, one of the young men attending the high school, was se cured as assistant scoutmaster and Carl Schmidtmann as secretary and treasurer of the committee and the organization was ready to take up the work. The boys have been meeting with Mr. Peden in the high school every Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock and taking up their work that is a com; bination of the regular ceremonial as well as recreation, and educational and of the greatest benefit to all who are members of the troop. Many have the k Impression that scout work is of a nature that will tend to create a military spirit in the boys but this is untrue and an un just view to take of the work as the only similarity of the scouts and military organizations is the fact that both strive to maintain the highest physical efficiency and the spirit of discipline which is one thing badly needed in this day and age of the world. 1 The creed or oath of the scout is in itself an inspiration to the mak ing of the finest type of men for the future and it is herewith given that those who are not familiar with this work may have a better conception of it: lOn my honor, I pledge to do my best. To do my duty to God and my coun try, To obey the scout laws. To help other people at all times. To keep myself physically strong, mentally awake antf morally straight." These principles certainly will tend to make better citizens of the boys of the scout troop in the years when they will become the men of the community. If you have the op portunity, aid the scouts and remem ber that next week is Boy Scout Week in this old land of ours and be a booster. arrived MORGAN'S TEAM TRIMS NEBRASKA CITY LEGI9NAIRES pro sion and the with unbounded enthusiasm n..oin iinnVpv Walker upon the scene early, bearing tri umphantly the Stilton cheese, espe cially sent to the Table from London. England, by Mr. Robert Middlemas. of Walter & Co., proprietors of the Bolivar factory, Havana. It may be said unqualifiedly, that the cheese lived up to all expectations, wniie, naturally, it was served last on the menu, it is first mentioned in these annuls in order of its importance. It was placed at the head of the table, and was cat by Chairman Carl Wer ner, with due pomp and ceremony. A rising vote of thanks was tendered Mr. Middlemas for this token of re membrance from an honory member in a far-off land. During the course of the luncheon the chairman , read the following communication from Julius Pepper berg, founder and retiring member of the Pepperberg Segar Co., Lin coln, Nebraska: "Lincoln.

"Dear Sir: ' "December, 1S86, David Hawks worth, master mechanic of the Bur lington system, west of the Missouri river in Nebraska, reecived from a friend residing in Mexico, a Christ mas gift, one hundred Havana ci gars.

The general, an esteemed friend of mine, gave me one of these. The ci gar has ever since been kept In a safe box originally wrapped with nota tions of date in my own writing, which you will notice upon receipt of- the cigar sent you by registered parcel post.

The cigar was then unwrapped at the table and passed around for in spection. In spite of the fact that it was thirty-seven years old, it was found to be in good condition. Later, it was lighted and smoked by Mr. Werner, who pronounced it of good quality, and characterized it as a pleasant and satisfactory smoke. Among those present from out of town was William D.
