New Base Ball Regulations.
The following are some of the changes
in bali game rules for the coming season:
The catcher will have toplay up behind
the bat during the entire game. This
will be the means of saving considerable
time. The pitcher must deliver the ball
to the batsm as soon as the latter has
taken his place at the plate. A delivery
to any other place than the plate will be
called ball for each delivery. Failure
to deliver the ball within twenty seconds
brings penalty of one ball. Punish
ment of removal from the grounds fo1
the use of improper language on the
field is accorded the umpire. When a
player is hit by a pitched ball the UNI
pire will announce "a ball and the
player will not be allowed to take base

Thirty-Nine Republican Candidates
Out for State Offices.

Topeka, Nov. 1.-THE campaign
for places on the Republican ticket in
Kansas next year will be the most ex-
citing in the history of the state. Two
causes are assigned. One is that a
Republican nomination is equivalent
to an election, and the other is be-
cause there are so many offices to be
filled. II will be the largest state
ticket ever voted. Heretofore there
have been nine offices. Next year
there will be fourteen offices to fill.
The change is due To the increase OF
the supreme court from three to seven
members. andl making the position OF
uperintendent of insurance elective
instead of appointive. The full list OF
Offices To- be filled follows: Five JUS
tices OF the supreme court, governor,

Up to date thirty-nine candidates

places. 70 be sure they have not al

Galens, Kansas, Nov. l5-Mrs. S.
c. Kramer and Edward Watkins were
shot and killed at Central City, u min

of Galena, early this morning. Ed
ward Watkins formerly worked for
Mr.. Kramer in the latter's general
store.
Edward Watkins and another man
catered Kramer's house through u
back room by cutting out a door
panel. Mr.. and Mrs. Kramer, in an
adjoining room, were awakened by
the noise. Watkins entered their bed
room with q revolver in his hand.
Mrs. Kramer recognized him and said:
"Why, Ed you would't hurt us
would you?"
Watkins fired, and the bullet en-
tered her right temple. She died soon
after.
Kramer sat up in bed and fired at
Watkins. Three bullets took effect.
After the first shat Watkins called to
his companion in the adjoining room:

was masked, escaped. Bloodhounds
will be put on his trail this afternoon.

ing that not only the cattle frontier
as and Indian Territory were being
driven In by the thousands to eat and
destroy their grass. but that the herd
ers and their employers had threaten
ed TO destroy all fences and the hous-
es OF the settlers who fence their land
or drive of the stock.
Many Of these herders are said to
carry revolvers and in many cases
Winchesters strapped to their saddles
As the carrying of weapons is q VIC
lation OF the Oklahoma statues, and
is punishable by a fine of not less
than $25, it will be expensive for thecow-
boys TO come in contact with the OFF,
GERS. Should the complaints prove to
be well founded many arrests will
rapidly follow, as it is the intention
of the sheritf's force to protect settlers
against encroachment OF outsiders.
MIR. Rhodes stated that, while every
effort would be made to give exact
justice to all, without working hard
ship upon any, his conception OF his
duty was to look alter the welfare Of
the weak as against the strong, and
this policy would be steadily pursued,
especially so in the case of the settlers
many OF whom were people just strug

great cattle barons, who count their

Commissioners Powderly Makes His
Report

~ scrlpns- McRae Press Association.
Washington, Nov. l6-The annual
report OF the commissioner general OF
immigration was made public today.
Powderly discusses the dangers to
American institutions from the un-
checked introduction into the body
polite of elements what are at many
times unassimilable. He recommends
that congressional action be taken for
the distribution of aliens with refer
ence to the law of supply and demand.
The commissioner corrects popular
impression in regard to immigration
laws 10y saying that their purpose is
not to restrict the volume of immigra-
tion, but to fix its quality by barring
new arrivals on moral. financial and
physical grounds.
During the past fiscal year the i'm
migration statistics are 4S7, 900 as
against 44S,0 600 the previous year.
Italian immigration increased 80 per
