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

Early in the second half "Wasley,

crowd to its feet with a sensational
field goal from the tenter of the floor.

The third quarter was slow. Coach

MURD0CK IS DEFEATED

(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

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.

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

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

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 !

. 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

parison of similar pools in Omaha,

end of the -pool. .They also recom
mended the charging of a small fee
that would make the pool self sup

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

and playgrounds. '

the city, although later Mr. Pollock
discussed to some extent the ques
tion of whether the grounds could
hold both the tourists and the resi
dents of the city out for recreation.
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

Tidball stated that there the com

the head of which were two trustees
and these had issued notes that were
retired from time to time together

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 ,

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

fields and which will be a valuable
addition to the moving picture his

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
