WANTS MORE HITTING.
Umpire Sheridan Says Public Demands
Baseball Reforms.

Chicago, March 5.-Umpire Jack Sher-
idau of the American League has a
erudge against the baseball rule max
ers. President johnson received a letter
from Sheridan, in which the latter
voiced his opposition to certain of the
present rules.
Sheridan believes that the rules com
rrittee made a big mistake in not chang
ing the code, so as to give the 1anS
more batting. He does not specify, but
maintains that the public is getting
tired of paying the money TO see two or
three hit games. He asserts that there
was unnistakabIe evidence last year
that the spectators at major league
games wanted to see more hitting.
In the letter he goes on to say that II
the pitchers continue to shoe the bat
ters to the bench the coming season the
same as they did last, the American
League should come to the front, and
change the rules regardless or what the
National might do.
President Johnson has no comment to
make on Sheridan's letter. except to say
that it was no doubt true that the fans
wanted more batting and that he him
self was in favor OF giving Ihe Pupllc
what il wanted.

GIFT OF 100000 10 BETHANY.

from Minnesota Lumberman.


Kansas City, March 5.-Prof. Ernst
F. Pihlblad amounted a gift of $780,
600 to the endowment fund Of Bethany
college. Lindsborg. Kas.. at the ban
quet Of the college alumni held in the
Coates house Saturday night.
THE gift" said the professor, has
been made by Col. c. A Smith, a
wealthy lumberman of Minneapolis,
Mimi. a friend Of DR.. Carl Swensson,
who founded the college in 1881. The
gift is conditional however. We have
to raise another 500, 600 by other con-
tributions. If we fail to raise the total
amount Colonel Smith Will pay s25,-
600 for every S25. 900 we raise up to
the stipulated amount. We hope to
succeed The Rev. A. W. Lindquist,
Of Kansas City, has already raised ST.
600 within the last ten weeks and we
believe that when the Kansas con-
ference Of the Lutheran Augustana
synod meets in Assaria, Kas., on March
%, that arrangements viii be made to
raise the stipulated amount"
It was stated during the banquet
that out of the 963 students Of the col

making the total of deaths about S4,-

mine has been opened up known as the Manhattan Consolidated. These shares are
selling at above 81. On the Manhattan Consolidated they have a vein of oret twenty

Of the Manhattan Buffalo lie within a few thousand feet Of the Manhattan Console

Buffalo has the nm kind Of a ledge that penetraes the Consolidated property.
For q length of three claims or the Manhattan Buffalo ledge is in open sight OF the

This is 9 great gold mine prospect; Development work has only Just been

of the Manhattan Consolidated. At present there is the same amount of uncer-
tamy about it that exists about all other great gold mining properties before they
are thoroughly opened up and this is the treason yu "a buy shares as low as we
offer them.
This is a great speculation. 1t is the kind, however, that the most conserva-

that element of chancei is very small and that is he reason We declare emphatcaly
that at fifteen cents per share this stock is offered at a bargain counter figure.

IRON n STEEL.
Foundry Iron Market Q~uiet-Generai Tone
or Steel Products Normal.

The demands for pig iron from the middle
to the end of the last week Afforded good
evidence OF a slight Improvement In the
situation. Few large orders are likely TO be
placed this week, but from numerous in
uuiries in Eastern and Western markets the
principal furnace operators predict a good
market from the last days Of this month
forward. Prices are firm on all good brands
Of foundry iron. A good deal OF the on"
iron that has been on the market nj low prices
for several months has been sold. Steel
making iron Is in good request by the larger
plants, and the furnaces are well engaged
forward Standard Bessemer is held at Sl7.2i
in very large lots. 4 number Of sales OF 5000
TO 5000 tons were made late in the week at
MS In the West the market for charcoal
iron Is quiet. Makers Of gray iron castings
that are under contracts with car builders
and electrical apparatus makers are still far
behind in deliveries. Founders in the cast
steel castings line are fully empl O ed, and
for the most part are well run down on metal.
In New York, New Jersey and New England
few meters of iron are possessed Of ample
stocks. Buying has been for some time from
hand to mouth. and most founders having
prophesied lower prices by the last OF March
have been holding of. But business is pres
sing so hardly upon most of the machinery
makers that orders for foundry iron will
have to be placed shortly for forward require
ments, AS to future prices, the general
opinion of the best informed buyers and
sellers is that business will improve and that
prices will remain about as they are to-day
for several months. Three important ma
chinery makers who own largely In the stock
OF a combination Of iron furnaces predict
that on prime grades Of foundry iron there
will be a famine inside Of sixty days. Coke
