Creighton Prep to Play Here on Friday Evening Junior Bluejays Will Be the Guests at the Local Gym A Red Hot Game Is in Store. The basketball fans of this part of the country have a real game to point to when on Friday evt-ning the .Creighton Prep basketball team of Omaha comes down to mix it up, with Coach Rothert's blue and white Platters. The Creighton-Plattsmouth game is one that brings the largest crowds and the greatest enthusiasm of any on the local schedule and in the past has always been marked by fast and snappy games as the general rule, the last three years especially having been won and lost by the narrow margin of two and three points, the Platters having the edare on the Omaha lads since 1924 with two out of three of the annual contests. The junior. Jays have a large school and a great array of basketball talent from which Eddie Hickey has the opportunity of picking a red hot or ganization and which is generally the case. The fine showing that the Plat ters made in the North high game with several of their players out of the going, has encouraged the fans and they are anticipating a real game against the junior Jays on the local court. VanAckern, one of the veterans of the Creighton team has been going strong this season in his work at forward and has been a large factor in the winning of the games that the Omaha team has annexed. Creighton last night ended the winning streak of Central at Omaha by the score of 19 to 13. Central will play here next week against the Platters. PANAMA GREETS LINDBERG WITH ROYAL WELCOME Panama.

Democrat En thusiasts Hold Annual Dinner Present Administration Rapped for Its Hanrling cf the Tariff Laws Bryan Predicts Victory Omaha, Jan. 9. Several hundred Nebraska democrats held an old time Jackson day dinner here Monday :ght with several prominent speak ers on the program. Recalling the eventual life of Andrew Jackson, Gov. W. J. Bulow of South Dakota, compared conditions then to those now and closed his address with the hope that the nation will have an other Jackson for its president when this campaign is over. Eugene N. Foss, former governor of Massachusetts, urged slight re vision of the tariff and reciprocity with other nations. He said the wel fare of the United States depends on the adoption of a constructive pro gram in which the present adminis tration has utterly failed. Gilbert M. Hitchcock spoke of the constructive laws enacted by the democrats during the first years of the Wilson administration and ar raigned republicans for eo handling the tariff as to help favored individ uals and localities to the injury of others. ' T Mr. Hitchcock declared that per sonalities should have no place in the coming national campaign and that the issue before the public was whether the country should continue to be run in the interest of privileged classes or in the interests of the peo ple. Charles W. Brj-an and others spoke on theoutlook for the coming cam paign, predicting victory for the democratic party. State Journal. ENGLAND KEEPING FAITH Dublin, Jan. 8.
