(Special Correspondence Evening Tmii-nnll PT n 1 1 s mrm t h hirll SChOOl was eliminated from the state bas- ketball tourney this afternoon by Creighton Prep. The score was 21 to 8. Outplayed but not outfought, the diminutive Cass county live went down before the superior offensive of a much larger team. The Hill- toppers, city ' champions of Omaha and one of the strongest teams in the top class, had little difficulty in breaking through the Plattsmouth defense. The game opened at nign speea The Plattsmouth defensive was air tight for the first five minutes of play and Creighton was held scoreless. O'Brien, Prep center, broke loose for three baskets in quick succession; Krejci sank a field goal for Plattsr mouth and the quarter ended with Coach Drennan's clan leading, 6 to 2. The Cass five came back strong in the second quarter and outplayed the Omahans. Foul goals by Rebal and Krejci put'Plattsmouth within strik ing distance, and then Creighton took time out. When play was re sumed the Hilltoppers took the of fensive, scoring a field goal and a free throw. Chase shot a free throw as the. half ended. S-oro: Creigh ton Prep 9, Plattsmouth 5.

(Special Correspondence Evening Journal ) The Mnrdnrlr rmintft nto dust at the hands of Juniata by the store of 25 to 0 in the first round of Class M. Murdock's cagesters were outclassed in teamwork and in fijrht throughout the entire game. The l'oj-3 failed to meet Juniata's rapid fire playing, and from the beginning to fie end Murdock played a de lensive game, .lunirta realized their supcn;r playing and in the last quar ter stalled for time. ! The best playing on the Murdock team wa sdone by Miller, guard, and Oehlerking, center. The large floor and high ceiling confused the boys end they never attempted any long hots that might have scored some baskets. Coach William Meyers says that the boys didn't show up as well as J they did at practice games; and he I attributed their defeat to the size of the floor. RESULTS THAT REMAIN Are Appreciated by Plattsmouth People Thousands who suffer from back ache and kidney complaint have tried one remedy after another, finding only temporary benefit. This is dis couraging but there is one kidney medicine that has earned a reputa tion for lasting results and there is plenty of proof of its 'merit right here in Plattsmouth. Here is the testimony of one who used Doan's Pills years ago, and now makes his testimony even, stronger. E. M. Buttery, Tenth and Walnut streets, Plattsmouth, says: "A pain caught me through my hips so . I could hardly raise a shovel of coal. At times there was a lameness across! my 101ns. . l nad reason to believe these troubles were caused from a disordered condition of my kidneys. Hearing Doan's Pills spoken of, I got some. They gave me quick, relief, which warrants me In speaking of the remedy In the most favorable terms." Mr. Buttery gave the above state ment June 11, 1906. and on May 12. 1920. he added: "My cure is a per manent one and I think Doan's Pilla are fine. I am glad to recommend them to others." ' Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Pills the same that Mr. But tery bad. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Found a Cure for Indigestion "I use Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for Indigestion and find they suit my case betted than any dyspepsia remedy I have ever tried and I have used many different medi cines. I am nearly fifty one years of age and have suffered a great deal rrom ' indigestion. I can eat almost anything I want to, now," writes George W. Emory, Rock Mills, -Ala. These tablets contain so pepsin,-but strengthen the stomach and enable it to digest the rood naturally; ?i FIRST SPLASH OF THE SWIM ING POOL HEARD fTffAMTTER OF COMMERCE ALL BUT STAETS WATER RUN - KING LAST NIGHT. LOCATION IS MUCH DISCUSSED Present Tourist Park First Suggest ed and Objections and Other Suggestions Offered. From Saturday's Daily While the meeting of the public forum of the Chamber of Commerce had many very useful matters brot up at the session last night at the public library auditorium they were all more or less overshadowed by the discussion over the swimming pool proposition and the larger share of the evening consumed in the pros and cons of where it ought to be located and what methods of financ ing the proposition should be taken, although almost the universal senti- ment was that a pool was something that should be had if possible and the only question was as to how and where At the opening of the session. Sec retary Edwin Fricke read a com munication from the secretary of the Platte Mutual Insurance company, A. J. Trilety. in which the local com pany set forth that they had elimi nated the bad risks that they might have had in the past and at the f " " l.v. tZ?' YL. L. in force, although this represented only a rmall part of the insurance 'of the city that they felt that they ' were entitled to have. The communi cation stated that each year the citi zens sent. away $30,000 in premiums to outside companies and of which they felt they were entitled to a larger share. They also stated that there could be a saving of one-third in the cost of nremiums and snnnort a home institution at the same time. 1 The committee on membership of : which R. W. Knorr is the pilot, stat ed that they had annexed fifty-six new members and were rtill on the trail of the prospects and were hop ing to add more to the list before the next meeting. President Davis, who had at the previous meeting been instructed with the other officers of the club, to look after the securing of a great er interest in the coming spring city election, reported that the foundling ! Citizens party had since deceased and that the committee had interviewed ; the regular republican and democrat- tc city committees and they had brom-l ised to call their conventions and ' Place tickets in the field, , so that the j 'coming spring , political marathon will have two opposing tickets out for the consideration of the voters the pool would be by the issuance instead of the former one ticket af-,'cf bonds and that if a municipal own fair.

The committee that was assigned to look into the question of a through freisht service from Chicago to this city, reported that they had learned fronv Mr. R. W. Clement, the Bur lington agent, that it required four days for freight from Chicago to be delivered to the local freight depot. The big noise of the meeting was then sprung in the nature of the re port of the committee on the swim ming pool and it may be said to the j credit - of Messrs. C. J. Theleen, L. O. Minor and B. J. Halstead, that their report showed a most careful inquiry into the subject and was very complete in detail on the subject. The committee reported that they had estimated a pool 60 by 100 feet in, size, that investigation and com parison of similar pools in Omaha, showed that they were able to ac commodate 500 bathers, with vary ing depths of water, largely of a shallow nature for the needs of the greater number and thence to more depth in the center and at the far end of the -pool. .They also recom mended the charging of a small fee that would make the pool self sup porting and in time pay the cost of the-, construction of the same. . They recommended further that it be plac ed at the present tourist park and that the city be given control and supervision of the pool and this park be made a center of community acti vities, including the tennis courts and playgrounds. ' The committee reported after in vestigation of Omaha pools that they were being cleaned and whitewashed "COLD IN THE HEAD" in an acute actacK or Nasal Catarrh. .Those subject to frequent "colds", are generally in a "run down" condition.

William Baird thought that there should be a more scientific know ledge of the exact amount of ground that was available and suitable for the use oT the pool, the cars that would be parked there by the persons using the pool and whether the re maining space would be sufficient for the use of a tourist park President Davis urged that the matter of financing, the proposition be given the first consideration and whether the citizens desired the pool 'and .the showing . was , that almost everyone favored the pool, Mayor Johnson stated that th 'only way that the city could put in tourist who sought a place to rest and park their cars ror me nigni. This opinion was also shared by Henry Leacock, Sr. The president called upon Mr. J. L. Tidball to give his experience in the construction of the community auditorium at Holdridge, and Mr. Tidball stated that there the com mittee in charge had secured sub- scriptions and formed a company at the head of which were two trustees and these had issued notes that were retired from time to time together with the interest, until the cost of the building was realized and during this time the revenue from the build- ing more than paid the cost Mr. Theleen offered a very timely. suggestion that the tourist park be placed in a more suitable location than where it now" is, and that this be made the recreation center. After several more discussions of the matter, the swimming pool was returned to the committee to gather further data and to report at the next meeting although the time is short in which to. put the plans into execution for 1924.

OIL DRILLING AT NEHAWKA PUSHED Work is Now Reaching Stage Whera Some Showing is Being Made In the Work. The oil situation at the Shrader farm between Nehawka and Murray continues to be the chief topic of conversation and interest in that sec tion of the' county and the residents there are feeling that the result is going to be all that has been antici pated by the state geologists and the promoters of the oil proposition. The machinery has beemia place for some time for the work and as a result of the bad weather the opera tors were delayed in getting the drilling started as soon as they had hoped for but now the work is get ting well under way and since Sat- , urday the drilling has been going on at the new field and j'esterday the drillers were able to have a good day , or the work and the hole that is be- ing made in the location of the well is getting to resemble a real oil well, Dr. Condra of the state university is the supervising representative of the state in the oil drilling opera- j tions and has representatives on the ground at all times to look over the i result of the drilling. Dr. Condra is planning to have moving pictures made of the operations in the oil fields and which will be a valuable addition to the moving picture his tory of the state that the state uni- versity has been arranglng in the loaf faxtr voo a The lighting and power plants have been placed on the ground and it is expected that when the drilling gets under the full swing that the operations will be carried on both day and night until the well reaches the desired depth at which it is hop- ed to have some definite result of the question of whether or not there is 0n jn the locality of where the well is being sunk.
