Neb, Seek Aid of the Supreme Court in Bridge Fight Kings Trail Company Wants Injunc tion Against Rival to Prevent Cut ting of Charges Fixed for Toll. From Saturday's Dally The Kings Trail Bridge company of Cass county appealed Friday to the supreme court from a finding of Judge Raper that it had no cause of action against the Plats mouth Auto & Wagon Bridge com pany, which crosses the Platte river on the Cass and Sarpy county line a short distance from the bridge of the plaintiff. The Kings Trail bridge was built by private capital with the inten tion, expressed in its articles, of turning It over to the state or to the two counties so that they might make it a free bridge and a part of the highway system, at net cost. It went into district court, as pro vided by law, and secured the ap proval of a schedule of toll charges, which were the same as the pri vately owned bridge was charging. The latter prceeded to promptly cut the tolls, and is averred to be likely to get most of the traffic. If this happens the net cost to the public will be increased when it takes over the Kings Trail bridge it is alleged, and for this reason, as well are inadequate to make a return and take care of the d- preciation, it is asked that the de fendant company enjoined from en forcing its reduced schedules. The public interest, it is insisted, requires the intervention of the courts. The plaintiff says it cannot meet the cu rates because the district court fixed them. The county boards of Cass and Sarpy are interveners. They said that they tried to buy the old bridge, which Is described as out of repair, but the owner would put no price on it, and they could not get it by commendation proceedings be cause of the legal limit upon the regular county levy for bridge pur poses. They said they desire to make this new bridge a state aid bridge and that the cutting of rates is tak ing this property without due pre- cess of law. State Journal.

Plattsmouth Men in Omaha Auto Wreck Georee Tartsch and Anton Hasson Have Car in Which They Were Driving Struck by Truck From Saturday's Dally . , Yesterday afternoon George Tart sch and Anton . Hasson motored to Omaha for a few hours' stay, where Mr. Tartsch was to look after the upholstering of some furniture at the home of Mr. Hassons father and a few hours later both men were in jured when the car in which they were driving was struck by a heavily loaded truck. The two men had completed their business in O mail a and were start ing back to Plattsmouth from the Hasson home on South 6th street, when as they were driving along the street, the large truck loaded with brick came by and struck their car. smashing it up badly and turning the car over. Both Mr. Tartsch and Mr. Hasson were knocked unconscious and per sons nearby the scene of the accident carried the two men to the home of Walter Hasson, a brother of Anton, who resided near the scene of the accident. Reports received late last night stated that there were no broken bones found although the men were still in a daze and only partially conscious and suffering from numer ous bruises and the shock of the ac cident. Mr. Hasson returned home this morning, being brought down by his brother, Frank, in an auto and was taken to his home at the residence of his sister, Mrs. A. M. Peterson. Mr Hasson suffers a great deal from pain in the back and chest and the exact outcome of his injuries has not as yet been determined. ALL OUT OF SORTS So Was This Plattsmouth Woman, Who Tells Her Experience All too often women accept their pains and aches as natural to their sex. They fail to realize that weak kidneys are often to blame for that backache, those headaches, dizzy spells and that tired, depressed feel ing. Thousands have found new health and strength by helping the weakened kidneys with Doan's Pills a stimulant diuretic. This Platts mouth case is one of many: Mrs. F. M. Armstrong, 322 Gran ite street, says: "I had spells that made me feel out of sorts. My back was so sore and achy I could hardly get around. I had headaches and dizzy spells and felt weak and tired out. My kidneys acted irreerularlv. I used Doan's Pills from Weyrich & Hadraba's Drug Store and they re moved the trouble quickly." Mrs. Armstrong is only one of many Plattsmouth people who have gratefully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back aches If your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly fori DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mrs. Armstrong had the remedy backed by home testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

From Saturday's Daily The millions of radio listeners who had their sets attuned to 526 meters last evening, had the pleasure of hearing Plattsmouth artists give the fifth community radio program from radio station WOAW, Omaha, where "GR" assisted in the program with his pleasing announcing. As on pre vious occasions, the Plattsmouth en tertainers rendered a very high class program of vocal and instrumental selections, that will draw applause from the four corners of the nation. The Omaha station is one of the most powerful in the central west and sent the program out in fine shape, so that friends of the parties appearing on the evening's offering could enjoy it immensely although hundreds of miles away. The evening's radio entertainment was arranged by Messrs. Frank A. Cloidt and Raymond Cook, and given under auspices of the Plattsmouth Ad club, who bore the expense of providing the public with printed programs free of charge. The Union Pacific railroad was credited with sponsoring the program, it being this Omaha institution's regular bi weekly night, under the arrangement by which some of the expense o maintaining the station is assimilat-l ed by different booster organizations t of that city. There cannot be too much said of the program which was well arrang ed and most artistically given by everyone on the program, affording several of the new musically talented residents of the community an op portunity of being heard on the air.

Deter mining the velocity of light to a min ute degree of accuracy is a possibil ity which may be realized next year, according to Dr. A. A. Michelson. head of the department of physics of the University of Chicago. Dr. Michelson announced before the National Academy of Sciences today that he had come within "plus or minus" 20 miles a second of establishing the true velocity. The experiments covered a period of one year beginning in the sum mer of 1924. The next attempt to reduce the degree of accuracy will be made next spring on Mt. Wilson. In this experiment Dr. Mi chelson hopes to reduce the degree to with in plus or minus tive miles a second of the true figure and in a later experiment to the true velocity. Scientists heretofore have estab lished the velocity of light at about 1SG thousand miles a second, but this calculation has long been known to be approximate.

Davis Farm Loans Real Estate Investments Insurance skill that reflected the greatest of credit upon the members of the organization, Frank A. Cloidt, first tenor; Raymond C. Cook second tenor; Harry G. McClusky, first bass. and Lynn O. Minor, second bass. In their sole selections, Mr. Minor was heard in "Sing Me to Sleep;" Mr. Cook in "The Trumpeter;" Mr. Mc Clusky in "The Bedouin Love Song," and Mr. Cloidt in "My Task." In the quartet numbers Mr. E. H. Wescott served as the accompanist fox the gentlemen, while Miss Estelle Baird played for the selections of Messrs Cloidt, McClusky and Minor, and Mrs. Roy O. Cole for Mr. Cook, Mrs. A. D. Caldwell also assisting with a violin obligato for the num ber of Mr. Minor. Adding a pleasing touch to the program were the two violin solos, Mrs. A. D. Caldwell in "Scene de Ballet" by DeBerriot and Mr. Harvey Johnson in the beautiful selection of Kreisler, "The Old Refrain," the accompaniment for Mr. Johnson be ing played by Mr. Fager. Miss Catherine Schneider, one of the youthful vocalists of the city was heard in one of her charming selec tions, "Neapolitan Nights," in which Miss Baird assisted as her accompanist. One of the numbers that was list ened to with the greatest attention over the radio was that given by Mr. Leroy H. Fager, whose splendid tenor voice carried beautifully "Ser enade," by Shubert, over the air waves to his unseen audience. Add ing to the effectiveness of this num ber was the piano accompaniment by Mr. Wescott and violin obligato play ed by Mrs. Caldwell. One of the artists who has been favorite on former Plattsmouth radio programs, Mrs. E. H. Wescott, was heard in a very artistically given solo number, "Thanks Be to God," the accompaniment being played by Mr. Wescott. This number was dedi-; cated to Mrs. C. E. Wescott, who was listening in at Los Angeles, Calif. i Mrs. Elbert Wiles, well known member of the musical circles of this section of Cass county, was heard in i very beautiful flute solo, entitled! On Wings of Song," one of the best known compositions of Mendelssohn J as well as one of the real gems of i the program. Mrs. Cole served as the accompanist. Plattsmouth won recognition by the piano playing of two of the ar tists on the program, these solo num bers being offered by Mrs. Lillian Freeman and Mrs. Roy O. Cole, and which demonstrated to the unseen audience that Plattsmouth can boast of two real artists who are worthy of any city in the United States.
