Meanwhile Estrada has sent detachments

compelled to risk an attack or to starve.

Oseja's forces, half starved, footsore and

Rama. Estrada, confident, assured, awaits
the attack behind his fortifications. Ai

The attitude of the United States gov

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Things have
gone from bad to worse with the NIcar

when Secretary Knox recently sent' fiehor
Felipe Rodrlgties, - charge d'affaires, his
passports. - Another shock fell tonight
when Sen or J. F. Sergullera,, one of the
attaches of the legation -house, landed in
the station house for defaulting on a hack

Senor Sergullera therefore remained to
night in -the station house.
As the Corn show visitors continue to
come In ever increasing numbers from the
great corn belts of Indiana, Illinois, Mls
sourt, Iowa and Kaffsaa, states where the
JJnlted Doctors Institutes have been located
for years, and their wonderful new system
of caring disease has stood the test of
time, the capacity of the reception rooms
and staff of the United Doctors Is taxed
to the limit. .'...'"
This is brought nbout by the fact that a
little ever a year ago the United Doctors'
system of curing disease was practically
unknown to the people of the great middle
west, except to a few who read of their
wonderful achievements in the eastern
dallies. During the short year that the
United Doctors' Institute has been located
on the secoid floor of the Neville blook,
corner Sixteenth and Harney streets, a new
era In the treatment and cure of all ob
scure, chronic and nervous diseases has
been Introduced to the people of Omiha and
the great middle west. Their achievements
thus far have - been demonstrated to be
phenomenal as shown by the thousands
of letters which have been handed to the
chief nf the staff by grateful patients
Whose years of suffering and agony have
been turned, in this short year, to health
and happiness.
However, there has been some skepticism j
abroad in regard to their wonderful
achievements. They seemed too good to be
true, but now that the-exhibitors and vis
itors from the eastern states are here In
great numbers from all over, the north
western corn belt, they find that all of
the west Is eager to know something of
' the workings of this great Institute In
Omaha.. Not an hour passes during the day
bat that some one who has been cured in
an' eastern Institute cornea to the United
Doctors' reception rooms on the second
floor of the Neville - block, comer Six
teenth and Harney atreets, to express
their thanks for the cure they have had,
and to btd God apeed to the work of the
United Doctors In this comparatively new
field.
The Interest Omaha and the wide country
surrounding it la manifesting in this great
health movement Is beet told In the words
of Mr. Arthur Mlddleton, a corn raiser of
Bloomtngton. 111., who remarked yesterday:
") have been asUed so much about the
United Doctors' work In the-east ths,t I
begin to billeve they are attracting as
much attention here as the Corn show.
Well, they are all right; they are real
specialists. They cured my father's kidney
trouble after eight other doctor had tailed,
and I know a dosen others that the)' have
cured of conar'pntlon, rheumatism, gall
tones, stomach trouble and other chronic
diseases."
The United Doctors have their Omaha

Examination free to all. No Incurable case
are accepted for treatment.
Mr. Bryan Says

LINCOLN. Neb., Dee. 10. A statement in
behalf of W. J. Bryan which ' wns pub
lished here today in the Commonor, denies
that he Intends to. make an effort to .push
prohibition as a national Issue. The state
ment follows:
"Mr. Bryan does not expect to see pro
hibition a paramount issue in national poli
tics. If that ever comes it is not likely to
be in Mr. Bryan's day.
"Mr. Bryan may however, be truthfully
credited with a desire to assist In securing
for the several states, absolute and' ex
clusive .control over the liquor traffic In
cluding control over all shipments of
liquor aa soon aa the liquor enters the
state. It will be Interesting to see how
same democratic editors wll explain their
opposition to the good old democratic doc
trine that the state ought to be allowed to
attend to its own business."
Three-Quarter

Block of Business Buildings Destroyed
, and Five Firemen Hurt at
Kalamazoo, Mich.
KALAMAZOO, Mich., Dec. 10. The com
bined efforts of the fire departments of
three cities had not succeeded tonight e n
tirely In extinguishing the fire, - which
broke out last night in the hear', of the
business district, although the flames
which caused a loss of approximately
1750,000 were under control. Once during
the afternoon the situation threatened to
again become serious. Energetic action
by the firemen soon conquered this blaze.
Five firemen were injured, none seriously
and 160 hotel guests were driven scantllly
clad into the streets by a fire that burned
the Burdlck house, one of the best known
hotels In southern , Michigan. The major
portion of a square was laid In ruins.
Rumor that an old man had been burned
to death provzd to be untrue. More than
thirty business concerns suffered losses
by the fire.
Among the losers were the Postal Tele
graph company, American Express com
pany. City National bank. Cash Register
company, Marshall Field A Co., and six
saloons. A dosen buildings were destroyed.
BENDER BASE BALL C0ACI1
Former Foot Ball Star Not Likely to
Get Foot Ball Place.
WORK DTTRING EARLY SPRING
Protest Rise. Becaase of Letter
Given Startesneaarer, So D.
' i Elliott Will Be Rewarded
with Honor.
LINCOLN, Neb., Dee. lo.-(Speclal)
Johnny Bender, former Cornhusker foot
ball hero and coach of the Haskell Indian
foot ball eleven during the last season,
Will coach the Nebraska base ball candi
date next spring. The base ball committee
Of the Nebraska Athletic Ooard this after
noon agreed to accept a preposition made
them by Bender and they ordered Manager
Eager to sign a contract with the former
Cornhusker. The committee had full power
to hire a coach and their work is final.
Bender, during his college career at Ne
braska was, In addition to being a foot
ball star, a base ball player of high class
and was one of the best catchers that ever
played on a scarlet and cream team. He
led the Corphuskers to many victories on
the diamond as well as on the gridiron.
In the last game of the season in
which was his final year at this school,
Johnny won the conteirt In the final Inning
by driving a home run over th. fence.
This game was played against Crelghton
college of Omaha, when that school had
one of the best university nines In the mid
dle west.
Since his graduation from the university
In the spring of 1906 Bender has been a
professional ball player. For part of one
season he was with the Omaha Western
league nine. Later he went west and
played with the Pacific Northwest league.
His achievements there caused him to get
a substantial Increase in salary after his
first season, He ' will play professional
base ball again next summer, probably go
ing west to Seattle.
Doesn't Get Football JoB.
Johnny Bender is an applicant for the
position of Cornhusked foot ball coach, but
It is not likely that he will be given that
Job. The board favors him for tho base
ball task, but not for the gridiron job. A
movement is on among the alumni to get
the board to make Bender an offer of
athletic director at the stte school. Such
a position would keep him here the entire
year and would permit him to coach both
base ball and foot ball. The Cornhusker
board does not look with favor upon this
proposal.
At the next meeting of the athletic board
on Monday evening a foot ball "N" will
be granted D. Elliott, a player who was
In both the Denver and Haskell ' games.
At Denver he played the entire game and
on Thanksgiving day was in the contest
for a half.
Elliott was not awarded a letter yester
day when fourteen other players were
honored, because he had not played a full
half 'of one of the "N" games. These
games were three Minnesota, Iowa fcnd
Kansas. Elliott did not take part In either
of these, but his work in the Denver game
was such that it is thought 'he should
have a letter.'
When the board yesterday failed to re
ward him a storm of protest broke loose
from the undergraduate body and the mem
bers of the board were severely criticised
for giving a letter to Sturtengger. a man
who had not been In any of the big games
this year. Sturteznegger, however, was a
fourth-year man who had don. good work
during hts whole career, while Elliott still
has two more seasons In which to play.
The board was criticised as discriminat
ing In favor of Sturteznegger and Its mem-
bers were the replplents of many unkind
remarks yesterday. They informally dis
cussed the matter this morning and it was
decided that, in order to allay criticism;
they would give Elliott his letter. Nobody
denies that Elliott is deserving of a letter,
but the board did not feel like stepping
over Its rule In order to grant him the
honor this year when he would have an
other opportunity to win his spurs next
fall.

Will It Be
Ward or Heydler?
Just now the most conspicuous topic of
discussion in base ball Is thtf fight for
the presidency of the National league.
John Heydler, present Incumbent, Is a can
didate for re-election and John M. Ward,
the old-time " shortstop and captain of the
loig-ago New York Giants and later a
prime factor In the Brotherhood and now
attorney at law In New York, Is an op
posing candidate. . Heydler's chief antag
onist is Charles Webb Murphy, president
of the Chicago Cubs, and he is also op
posed by President Ebbetts of Brooklyn
and John T. Brush of New York, while it
is believed the new management in Phil
adelphia will vote against him. This gives
four votes out of eight for Ward. Garry
Herrmann of Cincinnati, Barney Dreyfusa
of Pittsburg, Roblson of St. Louis and
Dovey of Boston are expected to stand' by
Heydler. Dreyfuss certainly will and Herr
mann will so long as there appears a fight
ing chance for his victory, but Roblson
and Dovey are not relied on with as much
assurance, though they have Indicated they
would stay for the finish.
Here is somewhat of a symposium on
this subject, participated in by men ac
tively Interested:
Garry Herrmann: "President Roblson of
the St. Louis club, has not promised any
body to vote for anybody. He Is free to
vote for John Heydler or John M. Ward
or the man Juat around the corner. Presi
dent Dovey Is In the same boat, though
be has as yet said but very little, if
anything, about the meeting this winter
and Its results. I am not speaking for
them, understand, when I say that I do
not think they ,wlU vote aa Murphy and
Brush and Ebbetts want them to, but I
am giving my personal opinion, which
I think Is fairly good on this line. Of
course, one never can tell just what's
in the wind. But I hardly think that
Messrs. Robinson and Dovey would vote
that way. That Murphy and Brush and
Ebbeta are going to vote for Mr. Ward
ta a certainty. , That the . Philadelphia
management may vote that way Is also
probahle, though you must understand that
nothing of this sort has ever been said
yet. I do not think Mr. Ward, If bo la
elected, will do one sincle thing against- the
btst Interests of the game, and I feel that
were Mr. Heydler willing to atep down
that I would approve of the selection of
Mr. Ward. He is a clean sportsman and
a most olever gentleman. But why should
we ''bench Heydler? He wants the place
and I think we ought to give It to htm.
Ccmlng back to the question of Meaafa.
Roblson and Dovey, I hardly thing that
Mr. Dovey will make known his opinion
as to who ought to be the leader of . the
league until the meeting In New York. , Mr.
Roblson may say beforehand which way
ha will vote. But I' know that he has not
promised anybody to vota for their nan
yet. Syndicate base ball, in this ease,
means that the Quakers are to be made
a stronger club at the expense of other
clubs la the league This must b. don. y
thera In order to put up a stronger fight
for the pennaat in UlOk It fclso means that
the St. Louis and Boston clubs, who have
been working harder than anybody else
In the league to build up their teeme, will
remain Idle and watch the Quaker. This
isn't hardly probable, Is It? Roblson and
Dovey have figured this all out and they
known Just what It will . mean to them.
The sale of the Philadelphia club will put
Murphy and Brush, I think. In a kettle
of hot water."
This from the veteran' John M. Ward:
"Let m. say that I am not Murphy's
man. If I should be placed at the head
of the National league I would conduct
Ita affaire aqverely and without favor. I
am not looking for this place, understand,
and I am not trying to push any man out
of a position or looking for a place that
rightfully belongs to another 'man. I don t
know Mr. Heydler personally, but I have
heard nothing but good about him. I have
only a alight acquaintance with Charles
W. Murphy, and he simply knows me as
an old base ball man, and occasionally has
Invited me to th. National league base ball
park when I have been In Chicago. That's
all the acquaintance I have with him. The
reasons for Mr. Johnson's objections to
me are not founded on faot. He bases
them on the grounds that I had a hand In
the deal whereby George Davis signed both
Chicago and New York contracts six yean
ago. I did not know anything about that
affair until three months after It happened.
At the time I - made a denial In all the
newspapers and I supposed Mr. Johnson
saw that denial. I think Mr. Johnson owes
me an apology for that statement, for he
knows that t had no hand In getting Davis
away from th. Chicago club. All this talk
about a base ball war is nonsensical. Base
ball managers are business) men and they
cannot afford 'to do anything that will be
detrimental to their business Interests, The
different clubs are bound under an agree
ment which holds under the law, and any
violation of this agreement would leave
them liable to heavy damages. Talk about
teams jumping from one league to another
Is absurd." .
Horaoe S. Fogel, the Philadelphia news
paper man, who seems to be in th. Quaker
saddle, has this 'to say: N
"There' seems to be an unusual amount
of agitation created by the announcement
that I have beeome president and owner of
the Philadelphia Base Ball club, and al
ready rumors are afloat that th. control
of th. club is not in my hands, but In those
of others. The nam. of Charles Webb
Murphy has been mentioned and tho Sub
ject of syndicate base ball has been dragged
In. I have already made, the statement
that Murphy has nothing to do with my
purchase of the 'club, and I repeat that he
haa nothing whatever to do with It- He
hasn't got a dollar In the club and h. will
have nothing to do with the management
or control of 'it. As for syndlcat. base
ball I have always been opposed to It, and
I don't propose to stand for it now. The
Philadelphia club will be managed as a
purely business proposition In an honest
effort to give Philadelphia a winning ball
team. Murphy came on her. to be a wit
ness to the purchase and transfer of the
club. It has also been suggested that I
would vote for John Montgomery Ward
for president ,of the National league. I
have not declared myself on that point,
because all who know me know that I have
the most sincere admiration for John
Heydler, who waa a newapaper man like
myself. Th. fact that I was associated
with Mr. Ward in the general Interest
taken in the Players' league In 1890 . does
not mean that I have already pledged my
support to his candidacy for president of
the National league. Mr. Heydler is one
of my friends and I have always been
friendly with htm. Therefore, it is prema
ture to say 'that I am opposed to him for,
anyone- else, I don't want to become mixed I
up in base 'ball' politics; all I want Is a
chance to try to make good with th. Phil
adelphia club. I have not reoelved any j
communication from Mr. Ward or Mr.
Heydler, no' one has Interceded In behalf,
of eltherf I have not been approached on
the subject. I have - had altogether too
much interest In the purchase of the Phil
adelphia club to give the subject of the
coming election in the National league any
serious attention."
Stanley Roblson of St. Louis says:
"I do not see what right they have to
say I am for Heyler or against him; that
I am for Ward or against him; that I have
given my promise to Vote with Murphy or
declare myself with Dreyfuss and Herr
mann. The fact is I have not conferred
with any of my colleagues since all this
agitation began. I , have not committed
myself In, any way and -will not until I
reach New York for the National league
meeting. I shall wait until I have be
come entirely conversant with th. condi
tions that exist.".'
Th. Sporting News adds this:
"It Is unfortunate that ' th. nam. of
Joseph D. O'Brien has been mixed up with
this unpopular movement to ; unseat . Mr.
Heydler, for under other circumstances the
candidacy of such a man for tho presi
dency of they National league would be
welcomed heartily. Mr. O'Brien has proved
by his administration of th. affalra of th.
American association that he ia a very able
head. He is an aggressive man, an able
man, a fine executive, of broad-gauge and
has Impressive personality. Were th. situ
ation different, it is probable that warring
factions would unite upon his as their
candidate without a word of protest. But
what can not be lost sight of is that the
office Is not vacant The principle Involved
of keeping good officials secure, as long
as their conduct merits reposing trust in
them, is too pressing to b. overthrown.
Unless this principle prevails, the office
becomes but a "publlo trough" at which
Its Incumbent may swill add libitum, at the
expense of the tnt.reata he Is supposed to
conserve knowing that his term is limited
to the period during which he can please
everybody In the very nature of things,
necessarily short. Th. question for th
National league to settle to the satisfaction
of the general public ia not what good men
can be found to replace John Heydler, but
why should he be replaced? Can the leagu.
afford to merit the scathing criticism .that
would follow such unwarranted action T
And, as said before, w. do not believe that
the National league can, or that It will, do
so."

BOXING TO STOP IN SOUTH OMAHA
Police Board Pais Bars V After
' December 15. '
The South Omaha Bourd of . Fire and
Police commissioners met yesterday morn
ing and took formal cognizance of th. fact
that certain boxing exhibitions bordering
on the nature of prise fights had been con
ducted In the city and they passed a reso
lution forbidding such performances after
December 16 at 12 o'clook. The board ex
plained its action by saying It had come to
their knowledge that the boxing game had
got beyond the state of mer. local sperl
ant that men of reputation had. been In
vited to the city and performances above
local Interest were to be and had been
pulled off. Mr. Fltsgerald said he did not
wish South Omaha advertised aa a rsndes
vous of professional boxers, but that he did
not object to the men of strictly local fame,
such as Omaha and South Omaha boys,
having a friendly bout when they saw fit.
The date fixed will not have any effect en
the proposed bout between Bresnahan and
White which Is on the evening of December
IS. Hereafter, if the local boys wish to box
they will not be permitted to advertise in
