mons Causes Sensation.
Carson, New, March 15.-The sensa-

made by William Muldoon, the famous
wrestler, regarding Fitzsimmons. Null
doom is an acknowledged authority
among sporting men on all matters
pertaining to training and physical
culture, and his opinion carries great
weight with them. He visited Cooks
ranch and had a long talk with Fitz-
simmons. He looked him over careful
ly in order to obtain as close an esti-
mate as possible of Fitzsimmons'
physical condition, and his opinion, eX-
pressed after leaving Fitzsimmons'
training quarters, was not as favor
able as it might have been.
Il did not like the looks of his eye"
said MuldOon to party of friends. Il
took a walk with him and we had a
long conversation. We discussed the
fight and the prospects of both men,
and Fitzsimmons, to me, did not seem
to be at all over-confident regarding
the result
Both fighters have eased up in their

else from now until the day of the

Political science" often of an inge-
nious sort, is used in choosing the sites
of capitals; but Brazil has now en-
ployed natural science for the purpose.
Rio de Janeiro being unhealthy, the
Brazilian government appointed COM
mission of scientists to select loca-
tion suitable for new capital. The
commission has fixed upon a plateau
1000 feet above the sea-level. The dis
lance by rail from the coast is said to
be eighteen hours. No yellow fever
invades the spot, and other conditions
favorable to health are reported. The
Popular Science News says that this is
believed to be the first occasion on rec
ord in which science has been called
in to choose the site of capital. Bad
air and bad legislation have doubtless
been associated, more than once, az
cause and effect.

David Starr Jordan, president of
Stanford University, says: Zone of
the most disquieting features of the
social condition of our times is the
rush of young men to the cities. Re-
sulting from this is the weakness and
instability of the farming population
as compared with the same class half
a century ago. Steadiness of national
character gees with f1rmness of foot
hold on the soil. We may we'll look
with alarm on condition in which
all men of wealth and power shall be
gathered in the cities, while the farms
are left to the weak and inefficient or
to the peasants of other nations. As
matters are, the cities are great de-
stroyers of human life. We have not
learned properly to govern them nor
to make them effective, and every city
is full of human failures, results of
misdirected effort. A tour of the prin
cipal streets, halls and meeting places
or Sunday evening in any great city
will show how terribly true this is:
Certainly one-fourth the present pop
ulation of such city as San Francisco
for example has no real business there.
These people are doing nothing which
is effective for themselves or helpful
to others, and the condition of the
other three-fourths, and most likely
their own condition, would be distinct
w improved if these misfit persons
would go back to the farms"

Ashland, Wis, March IA. = 1t is ru-
mOred that numerous lives were LOST
in tue great storm that swept the south
shore Of Lake Superior. The storm
came from the northeast, piling the ice
fifty feet high on the Apostle islands
and other points on the south shore
The snow, already four feet on the
level in the extreme Northern Wiscon-
sin Dineries, is now six inches deeper,
and it is estimated that the loss to the
IOggerS by the deep snow is quarter
of a million dollars. BlOckaded trains
are unusual in heavily timbered re
gions. and this is the first time this
winter that trains have been block
AIDED. The snow in the streets of Ash
land is from four to six feet deep, and
reports from Minnesota to the Mich,
gan State line and for from seventy
five to one hundred miles south of Lake
Superior are that the snow is from
three to four feet deep.
Browns Valley, Mimi, March ii. -
The storm was a record-breaker in
this section of the Northwest. 1t CON-
menced showing early in the morning
and continued nearly all day, during
which time fully two feet of snow fell
on the level In many of the principal
streets it is now from ten to twelve
feet deep.
Redwood Falls, Mimi, March IA. -
The heaviest fall of snow of the win
ter was that of last night. A foot Of
very dry snow fell, which a slight
northwest wind drifted into large
heaps in many places. The Northwest
ern line is blocked so that the morning
train was delayed several hours.
Huron, S. D., March 14.-Yesterday
snow storm and to-day's wind effectual-
" blockaded all the railway trains in
this part of the state. Snow has been
drifting all day and nothing can be
done toward raising the blockade,
which is the most complete ever ex-
perienced in the state. Reports from
all parts of the state give evidence Of
the storms fury. Some lines are
buried beneath ten to fifteen feet OF
snow, and the drifts are miles in
length.
Rhinelander, Wis, March 14-Twelve
inches of snow fell here during the
night The storm was accompanied by
a high wind which piled the snow into
big drifts. Nearly all trains are from
two to six hours late. 1t is by far the
hardest storm this winter.
