Sheriffs Are Slow.

State Treasurer B. R. Lacy said re-
Gently that he finds that money in
settlement of State taxes is coming
in unusually slow at this time from
the county sheriffs, compared with
corresponding periods of recent years
and that he wants to impress on the
sheriffs that it is of the highest i'm
portance that prompt and complete
remittances be made each month. He
calls special attention to the fact that
the State law makes it misdemeanor
for sheriffs to fail to forward to the
State Treasurer by the 10th of each
month the collections for the month
just past.

PORTABLE RESCUE STATIONS.
Steps by the Government to Give AiG
i'm Case of Mine Disasters.

Washington, Oct 3O.-The first of
the six portable mine rescue sta
tions with which the new bureau of
mines plans to instruct the miners in
the use of mine rescue apparatus and
d-to-the-injured appliances,
will start on it's mission tomorrow
morning, according to a statement is
sued by the bureau today. 1t will be
known as car No. 1, will start from
Pittsburg and will cover the anthra-
cite fields in Pennsylvania and vicini-
ty.
About November 1, Car No. 2 is
expected to reach the burea of mines
rescue station at Urbana, ILL.,, where
it will receive it's full equipment. This
car will then proceed to Danville,
ILL.,, Terre Haute, Ind, and through
southern Indiana to Evansville.
Four other cars, with headquar-
ters at Rock Springs, Wyo., Billings,
Mont, Salt Lake, Utah, and Knox
Vile, Tenn, will be turned over to
the bureau of mines within a short
time, it is said. They will be fully
equipped and manned, and will be
started on educational tours within
their districts. In addition to the
educational work which has been
mapped out for these cars, they will
be kept in readiness to proceed at a
moments notice to aid in rescue work
at mine disasters.
This is the first important step that
has been taken by the new bureau in
its efforts to reduce the appalling loss
of life in American coal mines. In
| European countriesThe per capita loss
of life in the mines is smaller than
in the United States, whose rescue ap-
paratus has been in use for some
time. Similar apparatus is being in
| troduced in this country with the
| same end in view.

umpire must o the batteries
before the game and also announce
any change in the lineup.
Under the amended rules If a fielder
stops or catches a batted ball with his
cap, glove or any part of his uniform
the runner or runners on the bases will
be entitled to three bases. If a thrown
or pitched ball strikes the umpire on
foul ground the ball shall be considered
in play and the base Gunner shall be
entitled to all the bases he "a make.
A base runner will be declared out if
he passes Il preceding base runner be-
fore such runner has beer legally put
out.
A new rule gives the base runner the
privilege of turning either to the right
or left after touching first base, where
heretofore he was compelled to turn
to the right. If, however. after run
ming over first base be should attempt
to go to second before returning to
first base he shall forfeit exemption
from liability to be put out. Additions
have also been made to the rule gov
erning when a base runner may re-
turn to his base without liability of
being declared out. III case the UNI
pire declares an illegally batted ball he
may go back; also if the umpire is
struck by a fair hit ball before touch
ing a fielder. in which case no base
shall be run unless necessitated by the
batsman becoming a base runner and
no run shall be scored unless all the
bases are occupied. The runner may
return to his base also if the umpire
declares the batsman or another base
runner out for interference.
A few slight changes are made in
the scoring rules. A player will get
an assist when he handles the ball in
aiding in a run-out. even though he
completes the play by making a put,
out. Wild pitches and passed balls are
exempt from the error column, as prior
to the year 1909. In the event Of a
double or triple steal. where either
runner is thrown out, the other or 9th.
ers shall not be credited with a stolen
base.
