SPORTS AT THE FAIR.
Amusement Committee
on Plans.
Is at Work
Just what Tdnd of sports will be fos
tered at the Lewis and Clark Fair has not
yet been decided. The mind of the
amusement committee of the board of
directors Is working on the subject. A. H.
Devers, chairman of the committee said
yesterday that no definite plans iad as
yet been determined upon.
"We have no plans yet," said Mr. Dev
ers yesterday, "and all our ideas In the
matter are tentative. We have submitted
to H. H. Herdman, Jr.. the question of
what kind of grounds we shall need and
how much. No. we have not made up our
minds what grounds we shall ask the
board of directors .to allot to us."
Mr. Devers said further that. Inasmuch
as the ideas of thA pnmmiito ini in.
choate, no estimate of the expense of the
athletic features had yet been made. "I
do not think, the expense will be heavy,"
said he, "but prizes will have to be offered
under the auspices of the National and
Pacific Coast Athletic Associations, and to
do this will require money. Other money
will have to be expended for'a grandstand
and racing courses. My idea is to have
the competitions in an amphitheater, after
the manner of those at Buffalo."
Mr. Devers did not think athletics sep
arately could be made a profitable part of
the Exposition, because one fee of admis
sion, should entitle visitors to see all at
tractions. "The athletics undoubtedly will be chief-
ly amateur." said Mr. Devers. "Tt is not
customary at expositions to mnkA murh
of profesisonal athletics. We are. of
course, not necessarily held down to this
custom, but it Is likely that an expenditure
of much money In. professional athletics
would turn out a losing venture."
Other members of the committee are F.
Dresser and Paul Wessinger.
TI
E REASON WHY.
Pitcher Who Could Not Be Rattled
n. Wai Deaf and Dnmb.
In a fanning bee held recently at Colo
rado Springs. Manager Bill Everett said:
"I have got a pitcher for next season
that no player In the Western League will
rattle. He simply is fire and bullet-proof
against the attacks of the versatile coach-
ers or several, or the teams. I want them
to try and rattle him. If they can, and I
will be crlvlnc- thAm thA Iniich
"Furthermore, he will never be fined by
an umpire ror calling that official a gen-
"eman or some omer enaeanng term.
JllSt TVatoh whpn Via mmac tn Ttam.A..
and I won't care if all the bleachers go
arter mm; they simply cannot feaze him."
After Bill got through with his little
spiel, "Slats" Davis, who had Just signed
a contract with the Portland team and
was hustling for a special delivery stamp
to send the same back to Jack Grim.
said:
"If you won't tip it off I will put you
wise to Bill's twirler."
All promised to keep It a profound se
cret.
"Well, then." continued "Slats," "he
used to be a music teacher In. a. dsa.f and
dumb asylum, .and can't talk or hear."

such audiences rarely last more than a

conversation to the continuance of the
Emperor's special interest in United States

had to tell him; but what some of the
Ministers wondered at more than any

he should be received today. It is not re

The Man Was Suddenly Stricken
With Paralysis and Was Unable
to Move Hand or Foot.
Lee F. Cypher, an oil-well driller, liv
ing at SlstereviHe, Tyler Countj W.
Va., was the victim of a terrible mishap
which caused a total paralysis of his
legs, arms, face and throat.. It was Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People
which cured him and enabled him to
resume his work.
"I might almcet as well have been
totally paralyzed," he says, "for I was
unable to move and could swallow only
with the greatest difficulty. It was in
February, 1899, after a severe attack of
the grip, that I first noticed a numb
ness in my hands and feet. It increased
and I put myself under a physician's
care, but, Instead of getting- better, it
grew worse till I could not walk and
was obliged! to take to my bed. I was
perfectly helpless?, and, on account of
the paralysis of my throat, hardly able
to take enough nourishment to sustain
life. Nothing helped me, and the out
look was dismal.
"But-a Mrs. Smith, of this place, who
had been cured of locomotor ataxia by
Dr. Williams Pink Pills, recommended
them to me and I began to take them.
In a short time I could see they were
helping me. and I continued tsirim-
them till they cured me and I was able
to return to work. Dr. Williams' Pink
Pillo drove every trace of the Daralvsls
out of my system."
The cure of Mr. Cypher Is additional
proof that Dr. Williams' Pink PHi arA
not an ordinary medicine. They are
wonderful in their potency in nervous
troubles, small or great, and as thev
are on sale in every; drug store through
out tne country, they are within reach
of all. That they couldcure such a se
vere nervoua disorder as that of Mr.
Cypher proves the power of the remedy
in Jesser troubles, such as sciatica, neu
ralgia, nervous headache, St. Vitus'
dance and nervous debility.
