A HEAVY ASSESSMENT.
Five Per Cent a Month for Campaign
Purposes From Republican
Employees.

There is something of a stir at the
state insane asylum on account OF the
assessment, for political purposes, made
on the employees. They have been no
titled that the assessment is to be ; per
cent per month for a year.
The worst OF it is that the amount is
to be taken from the checks which will
be received in October. The average
wages of the attendants is about $22
per month and the notice of the assess
ment came like a thunderclap to many
a poor man who is struggling TO get
along on his little salary received from
the state
There are some attendants at the
asylum who do not take an interest in
politics and some that are not even Re
publicans, but nothing of the kind is
recognized in this assessment.

LEE JONES BADLY HURT.
Thrown Out By a Fast Horse
and His Foot Broken.
While Exhibiting the High
Stopper at Kansas City.
The Animal Runs Away and Dashes
Entirely Through House.

Several months ago Lee Jones bought
a high stepping trOtter, intending to
have the fastest turnout in Topeka.
Today he is suffering from the results
of his aspirations, for he is lying at
his home on Topeka avenue bruised
and crippled and the horse is in Kan
sas City and will probably not see To
peka again. Mr.. Jones injuries are
not considered dangerous but his left
foot is broken and there is a knot on
one side of his head as large as a small
pumpkin.
The trouble is the result OF an at
tempt to sell the horse to some one
living in Kansas City. Mr.. Jones sent
the horse down last Monday and he
followed yesterday. He would not
have thought of selling the animal if
it had not recently shown a disposition
% run away at every opportunity.
Mr.. Jones borrowed a light buggy
and started out to show the horse to a
man named Charles Baldwin. Every
thing went well until they were in the
vicinity of Paramount park when Mr..
Jones. who had been driving. handed
the lines to Baldwin and asked him to
change sides with him. Baldwin got
up and as he arose the horse started
to run. The two men tugged in vain
on the lines but the speed of the ami
NAL increased.
After he had run about three blocks
the buggy struck a telegraph pole and
collapsed and the two men found
themselves in the street some distance
away. Baldwin struck on his face and
was picked up unconscious. Jones
tumbled headIOng but one foot struck
the ground, breaking two bones and
his head also collided with the hard
street.
The horse ran a short distance far
ther and then dashed into a house. He
entered at the front door which stood
open and left by the rear door. Then
he ran through a barbed wire fence
and block farther was found on his
back in a deep ditch, bleeding from
many cuts from the barbed wire.
Mr.. Baldwin, who was with Jones, is
severely injured but the condition of
Mr.. Jones is not considered dangerous.
1t will, however, be several weeks be
fore he is able to be at his place of
business. The horse may be sold in
Kansas City and he may not be, but if
he is his selling price will not pay for
the damages resulting from the ride.

paign Touring.

Indianapolis. Sept. 9.-The plan ar
nOunced from Chicago a couple of
weeks ago to have General Harrison
tour New York state. Ohio, Indiana and
some of the western states, speaking
from the rear of a train, was evidently

to personal friends here General Harri-
son has not mentioned this tour. Their
advices are that he will break camp
in the AdirOndacks about October and
go 10 New York, where Mrs. Harrison
expects to remain a couple of weeks.
General Harrison, however. after TAX
ing heS TO New York, viii return here
and go to Cincinnati, where he has an
argument in the federal court set for
October 6. It is expected that after
his work there is completed he will so
to New York and return with Mrs. Har-
rison to indianapolis about the middle
of October. He has not indicated to
the Republican state committee as yet
what time he viii be able to give to
the campaign in this state.

Scranton Lost Because II Could Not

Little Bit.
Special to the Scranton Tribune.


Rochester,, May 26.-The Scrantons
added another to their long string of
defeats and put up one of the poorest
exhibitions of the national game ever
seen in this city this afternoon. john
son. their star twirler, was in the box
and was pounded out in the second inn-
ing. Brown succeeded him, but he did
no better, and the home team kept
right on plucking punches of swath.
The visitors fielded poorly. A strong
wind blew across the diamond and
helped make doubles out of singles and
raised dust which somehow or other
must have imbedded itself In the eyes
of the Pennsylvanians. They juggled
the balls and threw wild to the bases,
On the other hand the home team field
ed In excellent form; Mulvey made his
usual fine stops, while Shannon put
himself to the front with several nice
plays, and Ollie Beard was with him.
The other members of the team were
not found wanting. Rochester won the
game by heavy stick work. AS on the
day before. Shannon led at the bat.
He Is credited with a total Of four
singles and two doubles, and had he
not fouled out in the last inning, he
would probably have had a perfect
batting average.

batter. turned the other way in facing
Brown, who is also a south paw" He
struck out three times. The home team
won the game In the first two innings
when they knocked johnson out Of the
box.
The visitors obtained three runs in
their half Of the second. After Horn
er had gone out Rafferty, made a double.
Mcclure drew four bad ones. and both
were advanced a base. after johnson
flew out on Latham's single, eventually
scoring on Hutchinson's single to right.
Meaney sent Latham across the plate
with u single but Ward fiefiw out. The
ScrantOns obtained no more runs until
the seventh inning. when two bases
on balls and singles by Meaney and
Rafferty, netted two runs. That ended
their run getting. Score:
