Little Boy Mysteriousiy Disappears

Fort Collins. Colo.-The town OF
Wellington, ten miles north OF Fort
Collins. is aroused by the strange dis
appearance OF three-year-old Harry
Yost, the son Of c. $. Yost, well
known farmer of that section. Whether
he has been kidnapped. drowned In the
big Laramie county irrigation ditch
which runs near the Yost home, or be.
come lost on the plains and probably
perished from the want of food and
drink the people are unable TO deter
mine.
II is generally believed, however
that the child fell into the water. and
this clew is being followed by the Off
GERS and neighbors In their search for
the boy. He disappeared yesterday
morning while returning to the house
from the fields.
He had accompanied the men in the
morning. but on account Of the heat
was told to go to the house. This was
less than quarter Of mile away. but
is hidden by hill. and nothing more
was seen of the youngsier. When he
failed to return at noontime with the
men II was discovered that Ne had
been lost and a search was Instituted
But thus far no clew to the where
abouts Of the boy has been found. The
water was turned on In the ditch. and
all night and this morning scores Of
men and women have secured the bed
OF the stream, wading In the mud and
through underbrush. but without re
suits.
The ditch is thirty feet wide and the
water has been running six feet deep
Owing to the unusually heavy rains Of
the past few weeks. the current was
extremely swift, and II the boy fell
Into the river II Is believed the body
has been carried long distance down
stream.
The mother is almost insane with
grief.

PURIFIED LIFE INSURANCE.
Benefits from New Law, Which Re
mains Substantially Unchanged.

Through the influence of Gov.
Hughes, the New York Legislature de-
cided to make no radical changes in
the new insurance law. It was pointed
out by Gov. Hughes that the New York
law has already accomplished wide
spread reforms, with proportionate
benefits to policyholders, and that 1t
should be given thorough trial be-
fore any amendments were seriously
considered. 1t is estimated that the
cost of the mismanagement of the past
did not average more than 20 cents to
each policyholder. while the benefits
to present and future policyholders
will amount to many times more and
be cumulative besides. The speed
craze of the big companies and the ex-
cessive cost Of securing new business
was the most extravagant evil of the
old arrangements. Under the new
regime the cost Of new business has
already been greatly reduced, along
with other economies.
The showing made by the Equitable
Life Assurance Society in its report
for 1906 was a strong argument
against meddling with the new law
In the Equitable alone there was a
saving Of over 100000 in expenses.
besides an increase in the income
from the Society's assets amounting
to as much more. The ratios OF the
Equitable's total expenses to its total
income was 1925 in 1904. 1885, in
1905, and only 4.iSSs In 1906. The
dividends paid to Equitable policy
holders in 1906 amounted to $7.2s9. .734.
which was an increase of more than
90 over 1905.
While the Equitable made better
showing than any other big company.
all reported radical economies and un-
der such conditions the Legislature
wisely decided TO leave the law sub
stantially as It stands.

ORCHARD BORN SHORT.
Renowned Psychologist Says There. is
Something lacking.

Worcester, Mass-Harry Orchard
the self.accused murderer who is now
attracting the attention of the United
States by the story he is telling In the
Boise, Idaho trial, was born short" &C
cording to DR.. G. Stanley Hall, presi
dent of Clark University and world.re
nowned psychologist. President Hall
says Orchard is born criminal whose
fiendish instincts have been nourished
by the evil Influences of a madness for
money on the mining frontier, rather
than a product of social conditions OF
the present ime.
When asked what conditions In the
present day social environment could
be responsible for suca II character
DR.. Hall said:
II think any criminologist would pro
nounce Harry Orchard a congenital
criminal. This appears not SO much
In his physiognomy as In his insensi
bility. 1t has usually been found that
criminals so careless and hardened to
human suffering are very obtuse In the
sense of touch and they bear physical
pain with amazing Indifference. II
there is anything In our civilization
that can produce such type of man as
Orchard appears to be, 1t Is a very
grave Impeachment of our institutions
Therefore, there is a certain satisfac.
ton in feeling the conclusion that he
is a congential moral pervert.
PARRY Orchard, as far as he is not
a moral im5ecile, might, | think, be set
down as an extreme product of his en-.
vironment. Are there any conditions
that tend more to bring out the worst
sid. Of human nature than the com.
pet!tive struggle for gold In region
where mines are rich In It? A man
who thinks himself just in possession
Of vast and sudden wealth and Is then
disappointed is very liable to go TO the
bad, especially when he sees that 9th,
ers no better than himself have won out
by trickcry.
"One could not help losing faith In
the innate goodness of human nature
to believe that at least Orchard, assum.
ing that he tells the truth, is a product
of his environment, and we therefore
almost have to hope he was born
short, morally"

But this is big country, and there
are sections where the frost has
wrought no mischief, and the crops
