A ThrijIino Rescue,

Rapid City,-To pluck a girl from
the back Of a runaway horse and
thus save her life, and both escape
injury, was the feat performed by a
young man named Tom" Cassidy,
who resides here. Miss Lorine Rob-
ms, a we'll known Rapid City young
lady, was riding on horseback when
the animal became frightened and
ran away. Cassidy saw the danger
the young woman was in, and, jumping
from the horse which he himself vas
riding, he, as the runaway horse ap-
preached, grabbed it by the neck and
hung on until it vas possible to re-
lease the young woman from her per-
ilous position. This he did by taking
her from the back of the horse while
it was still running, after which he
let go Of the animals neck and it
fled onward. Those who witnessed
the thrilling rescue declare it sur
passed anything in the rescue line

REFORM ELEMENT CONTROLS.
DeadWood Council Shows Majority
For Law Enforcement.

Deadwood.-The reform element in
this city will control the city council
as the result of the recent election
in which John Treber, a Wholesale IL
quor dealer who for nearly a quarter
OF a century has been a member of the
council, was defeated for reelection
by Frank DeMouth, a pioneer, in the
Fourth ward. Alderman Seim, in the
Third ward, who is claSsed as q reform
councilman, out by one vote,
while the First ward added another
socialist, giving the reformers five
members of the council of eight. 1t is
understood that this will result in cut
ting down the number of saloons in
DeadwoOd. q feature for which the re-
formers have been ~contending. The
defeat Ct Alderman Treber was unex.
pected.
In Spearfish, where the reform ele-
ment made a bitter fight against Ii
cense, the saloon advocates succeed
ed in winning by a majority of A,
but the vet candidate for mayor, J.
F. Summers. was defeated by James
Pike, the dry candidate, by 4 votes,
and two out of the three aldermen
elected were dry candidates, so that
honors were divided by the contending
factions. 1t is not expected, however,
that the new council there will refuse
to grant licenses to the saloons next
month in view of the wet majority
on the license question.
A peculiar feature of the election
occurred in Whitewood, where the wo-
men openly campaigned against the
license question, with the result that
license won out, AZ to 5.

stood before him, hat in hand.
You wish to know" he said to the

The Man CT Millions sighed. After
a ~momentary pause. he resumed in his
most gracious manner:
First. l wish to say that every boy

nay, better opportunities-that had.
You have a better knowledge of men

Professors of Economy Differ in
Their Opinions.
Prof. Thomas Nixon Carter, Head Of
Economics at Harvard, Discovers
That $50 Is Fair Estimate
on Average Person.

( Cambridge, Mass.-The California
state board Of health recently fixed
the value of a baby at $4,000, a sum
considered far too low by Prof. Edwin
r. A. Seligman Of Columbia univers-
ity, who declares that a baby less
than a year old represents an eco
nomic value of at least $3.50, 600. Now
ONE Prof. Thomas Nixon Carver,
who is at the head Of the chair OF
economics at Harvard, who using a
hypothetical case discovers that $40
is a fair" value for the average person.
and that lit would be a losing invest
men to buy a baby at that price"
How much Is a baby WORTH" asks
Professor Carver.
"Of course, the first thing to be de-
cided in the discussion Of this kind"
ne says, sis what is meant by the
value of a baby. To it's own parents
after they have got used to 1T a baby
is an exceedingly precious thing, but
their estimate is not necessarily the
same as that OF their ~neighbors, or
that of society in general. For ex-
ample, a certain man Is reported to
have said that he regarded each OF
his children as worth $100, 900, 900. but
that he would not give S cents for an
other one. Therefore, We must ex.
clude from consideration the value OF
existing babies to their parents.
"One way of finding the real eco
nomic value of a man Is to find out
how much the community would lose
If he were to die or to emigrate. The
community would lose the value OF
his labor. but 1t would say what he
consumed. In case he was consuming
more than he was producing by his
own individual labor the community
would gain by his death. In other
words, such a man is worth less than
nothing.
