ALL RECORDS BROKEN
WEATHER CONDITIONS OVER THE
COUNTRY WORST IN HISTORY.
Loss Of Life and Property Very Heavy
Over Fifty Thousand Head Of Stock
Have Perished.

Chicago, Feb. 13.--Not during the
last six years has the equal of the
present cold weather been experienced
in the West, and in many places no
such low temperatures have been re-
corded since the establishment of the
weather bureau.
The area of the cold wave extends
from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico,
and from the Rocky Mountains to the
Atlantic. The line of zero weather is
about in the latitude OF Memphis, but
all through the South freezing
weather is reported. In the North
the mercury has registered anywhere
from zero to As degrees below, the
latter mark being recorded at Rich
land Center, Wis.
Trains everywhere in the West and
Northwest are from two to twelve
hours late, and because Of the packing
of the fine snow in the cuts, II Is eX
pected that it will be several days
before the roads are able to restore
the schedule time, even II tn
weather moderates. Although details
are lacking, it is estimated that about
score of people have lost their lives
the majority Of the fatalities being
in the Southwest, where distances be.
tween houses and towns are great and
shelter hard to find
The loss Of cattle on the ranges
particularly on those lying in the
northern part of the southern tier OF
States will be very heavy. w Il. Boil
ton, secretary of the Oklahoma Live
Stock Association places the number
of head lost on the range in Western
Kansas, Western Oklahoma and the
Pan Handle of Texas at 10000 head.
Further north in Nebraska and the
Dakotas and Montana the stockmen
are better prepared to shelter their
stock, their cattle are better Injured
to cold, and it is not expected that
their losses will be anything near as
heavy as those on the ranges further

WINSTON-SALEM'S LINE.
New South Bound Railroad Proposed
for Coal Route.

The Board of Trade of Winston
Salem, N. c., announces that the
Winston-Salem South Bound Rail
way Co., recently chartered by the
North Carolina Legislature, has been
organized, and the Board further
says that the prospects. for building
the line are bright, provided suff-
cient encouragement In the matter
of rights of way are secured and
corporate subscriptions from coun-
ties, townships, owns and cities are
made. The city of Winston-Salem
has already taken steps preliminary
to voting on a liberal subscription.
Other places south of Winston-Sa-
lem have been invited to send dele
gates to a meeting to be held at that
city to consider the railroad propo-
sition.
The plan as outlined is to build
line about so miles long from Win
ston-Salem southwark to connect
with the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line either at
Wadesboro or Hamlet, N. @. This
would give a new and short route to
Charleston, S. O., and other points.
1t is particularly claimed that it
would form a direct connection be-
tween the coal fields and the whole
of the Atlantic seaboard. 1t would
connect the Norfolk & Western and
the Southern Railway on the north
with the Seaboard Air Line and the
Atlantic Coast Line on the SOUTH

Hard Fight to Dope.

If COrbett were less of an enigma in
this weight connection it looks as
though it would be easy enough to fig
ure Hanlon in favoritism for this COM
ing match. Here is the mode of reas
oning. Corbett, when imperfectly
trained, was fought to a standstill by
Hanlon, Corbett, fit and we'll, turned
the tables on Hanlon. Now, we find
Corbett II pounds overweight ten days
before the date set for the meeting,
circumstances which suggest drastic
methods of reducing weight and conse-
quent poor condition.
OF course, the fact that Corbett has
put up winning fights when the aid of
vapor baths had to be sought for the
purpose of removing a reluctant pound
or two on fight day has to be kept in
view. This is what makes the Den
verite's case puzzling one.
He can't keep along at that kind of
thing forever, though. Tearing off the
weight in hurry does more towards
depicting the stamina of ring men than
anything else in connection with the
training grind, and it is just possible
that Corbett's defeats by Nelson were
instances of the chickens coming home
to roost.
He certainly seemed thoroughly be-
reft of punching force in his two en-
gagements with the Dane, and if it is
that nature is melting out retribution
to him for the liberties he has taken
with a robust constitution it may go
fore that clean living, determined Turk
Hanlon.
