BASEBALL MAGNATES HOLD ELECTION JODAY At the meeting of the stockholders of the Portland Baseball association, which la to be held this afternoon, a new president and board of directors will be chosen for the ensuing year. Just who will be chosen to lead the organization next season is a jnatter of speculation. There are rumors circu lating to the effect that a slate has been prepared by some of the most Influential stockholders . and H seems that : it will prevail at the session without opposi tion.: The majority of the stockholders, who were disgruntled at the dropping of Mr. Marshall and Manager Vlgneux, have either disposed of their stock or retired from active Interest in the association's affairs. . ;f ;.:' ;iyn':'v v'::-: .

Plans will be discussed regarding the proposed Improvements of the baseball grounds. ' A . short time - ago the asso ciation proposed extensive improvements, such as the erection of a new, up-to-date grandstand and new bleachers. Also the moving of the right field fence and the raising of the fences in order to shut off the "rail birds," who congregate on the world's fair fences and witness the ball games gratis. The work of fitting up the park, should the association de cide to do so, will be started shortly after the new vear. which Will allow the contractors time enough to complete the-work by-ttre first of May. when the season opens in this city. The present grandstand nl bleachers are unsightly and but fiimslly con structed, having been thrown up in a hurry upon the organization of the Pa cific Northwest league In 1901, and when the success of a- baseball venture was uncertain. Now conditions are different and prospects are rlght for a successful season, and with the 1905 fair approach ing an up-to-date ball park Is in line with the improvements of the times, and the coming of the exposition, as well as the comfort of the baseball pat rons, warrants the outlay.

" The fact that four Of the Coast leaguer stars are reported to have bee.v corraletl by Danny Long, the Pacific coast agent of Ned Hanlon of Brooklyn, for the lat tcr's National league club, has caused no' end of discussion anying the fan all oVer the circuit.

Is -undoubtedly the best man of the four, both in experience and ability, -The other three are cam paratlvely new men, and have not as yet had a trial among the top-notchers. Nadeau has signed to play next ye:ir with Portland, and gave Manager Ely his word that he would not go to Brook lyn, notwithstanding that he had made a deal with that club previous to mak ing- terms with Ely. Phil is a valuable player on any club, because of his bat ting and base-running ability, and hi many admirers will be glad, to know of his decision' to play with Portland an Other season."' " ; . Whether Dillon r will go to the Bu- perbas remains to be seen, as the Loo Loo captain is a great favorite in the southern city, and besides he recently marrlod a California girl,, and stated that he hoped to make his home In the Golden state In the future. Dillon's prospects in Los Angeles' are much brlghtor than they are In the event of his making a change, .in toe serapnic burg he la a favorite, and should he go, he, leaves It for an uncertainty. He has had several trials on both National and American league teams, nd failed to stay on any club long. As.to Van Buren : and Lumley, tney are. both good, fast minor league play era, but whether they will stand th gaff among the stars ts a question tirmi alone can answer. . Van Buren ,1s a far better fielder than Lumley, and there fore has a greater chance of making good. Lumley's fielding will handicap him more or less, and unless he hit extraordinarily well from the start he u likely to be farmed out or dropped. Andy Anderson will not bs a member of next season's Portland team, tor luy figures on getting a faster man for that position, Anderson seems to be some' what overweight for a second baseman, which position calls for a light, quick and active man, one who can cover large area of ground. Men like Casey, Mohler, HpUlngsworth and Little Ray mond are the right build for guardians of the second corner. It Is well known that Rube Waddell Is dissatisfied with the provisions of his Philadelphia contract, and also thit Connie Mack will not allow him to play with any other club. Therefore there Is a good chance to secure this erratic player, - who would prove a great draw lng card in Portland as well as all over the circuit Manager Ely Intends to use his utmost endeavors to land the "Rube" and has high hopes of succeed Inr. for he (Ely) was captain of the Plttsburgs when Waddell pitched " for that organisation, and Is therefore well acquainted with the big southpaw's ec centricities, and knows to a certain ex tent how to handle him. The acquisi tion of Waddell would be the greatest coup- the Portland management could SDrlna- on the local fans, as a drawing card, for his fame Is known from one end of the states to the other. ' An Oakland exchange states that Pete Lohman may nave an outfield composed of the following players: Van Haltren, McCreedle and Dunleavy, with Murdpck or Kruger to help out. . That would b a pretty fast trio to draw to. Evidently Pete is trying to redeem himself for the past season's nondescript aggrega tion. . .'.. : - To date the men who will wear Port land uniforms next season are: , Shields. Thlolman, Butler, Freeman, Nadeau, Francs and Druhot, and possibly Law ler and Danny Shea. The nafnes of several' other good men may be added to this In the near futureaa Ely Is in correspondence with them, and expects to get their signatures to 1904 contracts very soon. . Players who know the game and can play It as a unit, are the men who are being given the preferenqe by the local manager. The many friends In this city are glad to learn of the success tf fy Andrews In being chosen by President Sexton of the Western league to manage one of the clubs in that organization. "Doc" An drews, as he is familiarly called, ha endeared himself to a host of friends in this city by his gentlemanly manners and genial good fellowship, and his suc cess wins ithe approval of all.

' From the Buffalo Courier. Rochester. Nov. 18. Prof, Thomas F. Adkin. a wealthy resident of this city, has truly created a sensation among the medical fraternity. By some mys terious law of nature he has done prac tically everything nut bring the dead to life, and doctors and scientists who have witnessed his work are looking for him to do this next. In fact, they have been so taken back that they would not now be surprised at anything. They ad mit that all their remedies and treat ment are but toys and tinsels as com pared with the wonderful discovery of this remarkable man. reopie say no possesses Divine power. Many or those who have been cured ny nis -mysterious power look on him as a god. But Poo- fessor Adkln says: "No; I have simply discovered a secret law of nature wnicn has been overlooked by doctors and sci entists for centuries past I believe that any man's life can be saved so long aa ha is not actually dead ana tne vital-or-rana of the body have not been de stroyed, and I further believe that when I perrect my aiscovery a uiu shall be able to restore life to any one from' dying, drowning or other causes which do not destroy the vital organs, provided decomposition has not set in. I know these are strong statements, but look at some of the people I have cured. They were all but dead, doctors said there was no hope, yet in many cases I rid them of actual disease in less time than it takes to tell you about it There was Mrs. U A. Phillips, of Tra wick, Tex., who was the next thing to dead when I took hold of her case. Here Is her letter read what she says. I never saw her, but I cured her Just the same as if she had been In my office." The reporter was handed several letters from patients, among them that of Mrs. Phillips. ; The following extracts are taken word for .word from, some of the letters Mrs. Phillips rltes: "When I first began your treatment 1 had no faith In it at all, had tried so many different kinds of medicines with no benefit. I had been under treatment of 13 different hospitals with no relief, and then I em ployed two home doctors, but they soon got so they did me no good and told me they-could do nothing for me and that If 1 could find anything that could do me any good for roe-to get it. for they had done everything they could.

They all say it was like bringing the dead to Ufa to be restored to health in such a short time. I cannot praise you enough." Doctors have sought out and brought the very worst cases in the eountry to Professor- Adkln. thinking they might baffle him. but they have gone away, convinced that he uses some invisible power or force unknown to them. They cannot explain the phenomena. Profes sor Adkin Is quite wealthy.' He lives in a One home in an aristocratlo section of the city.

He disdains the use of Christian Sci ence, osteopathy, faith healing or drugs. He claims his method is scientific in the highest degree.' although scientists s far have been utterly unable to compre hend it. One thing is sure, and that is he has some mysterious knowledge, agent or process by which he restores health to people In the very last stages of usually fatal diseases. Over 30 doc tors have taken up the study of his methods. Some are staying right with him and daily witness the remarkable cures he performs. . Nearly every train brings invalids j to be healed by his power, - He gets an enormous mail from persona in nearly all parts of the globe. The most mysterious thing about his whole work la his ability to heal at a distance, but there is no lark of proof that he doea heal those thousands of miles away the same as those who call personally.
