the athletic board of the state univer
sity , E. U. Buckner , acting manager

would be any possibility of his stayIng -
Ing In Nebraska and continuing In
the office of manager , If ho were reelected -
elected , but ho did not think there
would , as ho desires to attend the
law school at Harvard next year. Sev
eral names have been mentioned for
the vacancy , should Buckner leave.
Prominent among them are E. P.
Davis , Phillip Harrison and J. K.
Morrison. The latter has been assist
ant manager this last season. The
election will not take place until after
next year's schedule has been practi
cally completed , which means that the
now manager may not assume his du
ties until about the middle of the
next semester.
Next year's schedule Is gradually
growing in size , and although few
dates have been settled definitely it
Is pretty certain that contests will be
held again with the Haskell Indians
at Kansas City , Knox College at Lin
coln , Bellvuo College at Lincoln , and
Illinois university at Lincoln. In ad
dition a new foe has been chosen , in
Crelghton college of Omaha , whom the

the metropolis. The only date for any
of these games which has been de
cided upon positively is that of the
game with the Illinl. It will bo played
hero on Thanksgiving day.

PHI PSI8 NOT WANTED AT DANCE
Politely Notified to Stay Away From
the Cornluiskcr Function Which
Wns Given by the Congress of Fra
ternities In Lincoln Last Night.
Lincoln , Dec. 17. The Inimical feel
ing of the combined fraternities of the
university against a Greek letter so
ciety known as Phi Kappa Psl has
broken out afresh and as a result the
latter fraternity was barred from attendance
*
tendance at the Cornhnsker dance
given last night by the Pan-Hellenic
congress. Manager Buckner of the
football team , Issued a notice to the
effect that the dance was not a repre
sentative function , and the Alpha
Theta Chi withdrew1 from membership
in the Pan-Hellenic congress. Yet
the dance went merrily on and enough
money was raised to pay off the do-
licit of $80 In the accounts of the con
gress , caused ny the expense of the
banquet to the football team nt the
close of the season.
It Is a well known fact that the fra
ternities do not care to have anything
to do with the Phi Psls and all through
the fall that organization has recog-
nixed the fact and sent but a scanty
representation to the university func
tions. All the fraternity , however ,
attended the football banquet , an
event planned by the Pan-Hellenic
congress. As two men of the frater
nity wore on the team , there was no
way In which their brothers could bo
shut out.
Ono of the fraternities Informed
the congress that Its members would
not attend the 'danco unless they
were given absolute assurance that
no Phi Psls would bo present. It
was then that Secretary Green ,
sf the congress , wrote to the Phi
Psls a letter intimating that their
presence would not bo congenial ,
which read as follows :
" 1 am Instructed by the Pan-Hellen
ic congress , of which you are not
members , to Inform you that the Corn-
liusker Informal , to bo held on Wed
nesday evening , December 10 , Is a
function given by and for the above
named organization. To facilitate
matters , kindly govern yourselves ac
cordingly. "
"This dance is not for the football
team nor in honor of the football
team , " said Mr. Green. "It Is given
by and for the congress to make up
JSO which they have paid out of their
own pockets. An attempt is being
made to construe our action as an
Insult to members of the team. This
can not bo when the team has nothing
at all to do with the matter. Wo
simply want a good time and want
the Phi Psls to stay away. "
Manager Buckner has evidently
looked upon the matter as rolle'cting
an members of the team , for Monday
ho issued a notice that the dance
would not bo n representative affair.
It Is as follows :
"Inasmuch as the assistant mana
ger , captain and one other member of
the Cornluiskcr football team have
boon requested not to attend the first
Cornhuskor informal on December 13 ,
the public is Informed that the same
Is not a representative function and
are requested to act accordingly. "
Alpha Theta Chi , of which Mr.
Buckner Is a member , withdrew from
the congress.
Arrested for Wife Desertion.
Hastings , Neb. , Dec. 17. A painter
representing himself to bo C. P.
Bowers was taken in charge of Sher
iff Powers of Douglas county and
taken to Omaha to answer the charge
of wife desertion. The complaining
witness is an Omaha woman who
claims to be his wife and that his
right name Is C. P. Burtolsen. Bow
ers was living with a woman hero
whom he alleged to bo his wife. She ,
however , disavows the relationship
and asserts that she is a widow of
the name of Mrs. Efflo Stoughton.
Bowers asserts that he is not Burtel-
son , the husband of the complaining
Omaha woman , but that it is a case
of mistaken Identity.
TRIAL WITH INDIANS ON STAND
Case Before Judge Fawcett Where
Only Reds Testify Full of
Unique Features.
Omaba , Dec. 17. Judge Fawcott ,
wbo lias just returned from Cbadron ,
wliere bo belt ! court for a week , tolls
of bis first experience in the bearing
of a trial where Indians were the sole
witnesses.
Little Crow , a big Indian , was up for
trial on the charge of murder , It beIng -
Ing charged that ho had killed his wlfo
some tlmo last year and burled her
In a hole which had been made by n
badger. The witnesses In the case
evidently will have something to an
swer for In the hereafter , for they
gave the following names : Hall Lit
tle Crow , a son of the defendant : Lone
Dog , Black Horse , Gray Blanket , lied
Shirt , Mrs. Gray Blanket , Mrs. Lone
Dog and Mrs. Black Horse.
As showing the difficulties exper
ienced In getting the testimony of the
witnesses , It may bo stated that two
Interpreters were necessary. The In
dians were Sioux and Cheyenne. None
of them could speak English unit thus
It wan that a Sioux gave his testimony
to another Kloux , who Interpreted It
lo it Cheyenne , who could speak Kng
llsb , and the Choyennn In turn told
what was said to the Jury.
Little Crow was uctiultlod of the
charge of murder , .ludge Kawcott snld
the Indians were guarded In their
statements , and every tlmo they were
asked a question they would look up
nt the celling , anil after mature de
liberation make a few guttural sounds
and then the Interpreters would gel
busy.
America Sends Christmas Cheer.
Chicago , Dec. 17. Chicago's Christ
mas gifts to Huropo this year In mon

try. Germany comes next on the lists
In the money order division of the
Chicago postolllce , then Sweden and
Italy.
The contribution Is estimated to he
the largest In recent years. This IH
particularly surprising , as there WIIH
every reason for believing that the
strikes ami the high prices of beef
and other commodities would compel
economy.

who cnmo In turn and was cured.
Knch patient advertised mo a little.
What then ? In that largo city ( hero
wore not more than -100 cases of the
kind. I cured every case that came
to me and then had nothing to do
otoopt the ordinary business of a
local physician. I knew there were
hundreds and thousands of others
elsewhere , who might he cured If
they only know ; and I advertised.
Cured hundreds of others and I have
advertised ever since. I have re
lieved more suffering , cured more pa
tients , made more people happy , and
dona more good generally because I
have told the people what I can do ,
and I shall go on with the good work
as long as my strength will permit.
I advertise because I have some
thing worth advertising. I have made
myself competent by years of spec
ial study and experience , and by the
expenditure of largo sums of money.
My advertising I place before the people
ple the facts which enable them to
< \now what 1 can do. I thereby rend1
thousands , who , given up by local
physicians or unsuccossfuly treated ,
give themsovos up as Incurable. I
