Fled for Their Lives.

Chippewa Falls. Wis, Dec. THE
ice gorge here is still unbroken, despite
all attempts to loosen it with dyna-
mite. Water IL now running over the
lower section of the city and is steadily
rising.
All hope of breaking the gorge is
abandoned and all attention is now
given to saving household goods aud
merchandise. Every team in the city
is kept busy moving people and their
effects to places of safety. Ate o'clock
this morning the water had crept up
from the bridge to the postofiice, two
blocks back from the river, and the
river is now % feet above low water
mark.
The Wisconsin Central tracks are
covered with " alter two feet deep and
the road uses the Omaha tracks, the
transfer being made at Eau Claire.
Duncan creek. tributary TO the Chip
pewa river here, is also doing much
damage, as the water is backing up in
il from the main river.
Reports of a verv serious nature
come from down river. The country
everywhere is flooded. Thirty people
are reported lost at Durand. and the
suffering from intense cold is great.
The very latest is that an ice gorge is
forming inst below the falls.

Arkansas CIT, Bank suspends.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 1.-The Mis-
souri, national bank closed its doors
Monday morning. 1t was classed as
one of the strongest institutions in the
southwest. The immediate cause was
the withdrawal of $4,000 in one lump
by Helm, the wealthy local brewer,
whose action was quickly followed by
others. The last statement issued by
the bank showed deposits of 81 ,561 900,
and cash and exchanges amounting to
$4,000. Two ca uses are assigned for
the suspension. One is slow collections.
The other ma the prime reason is that
there have been dissens ions among the
directors. These were of such char
acter that they hnally led to clashing
with the government, and it was
thought best to close the doors of the
bank and have things Strengthened out.
The bank had between 1900 and 1900
depositors, most of them for small
amounts, and there are probably 100
stockholders of the concern.

ii. Clay Emmett, a young cowboy
from Bolton, Tex, reports singular
find made by him during cattle-hunt-
ing roundup in the Panhandle coun-
try recently, SAYS the Denver Field and
Farm. The find was nothing more or
less than petrifed pony, standing
erect and complete in all its parts. En-
NETT saws that he and his partner, Il. G.
Woodville, were riding across the prai-
rie late one afternoon when their tired
ponies neighed and whinnied as il they
were aware of the presence of another
animal. Looking around, they discov-
cred what they thought was broncho
tethered to a mesquite which crowned
the summit of a little knoll to the north
ward.
They rode up TO the spot and found
that the horse was fastened by
chain, but stood so rigidly and seemed
altogether so mysterious that their own
horses reared ard plunged as IL in
fright. Finally they dismounted and
found that the pony was petrifed, not
a hair or hoof amiss. Emmett says
that some ranchman years ago must
have chained the poor horse there. leav-
ing il to starve upon the plains. AS the
ribs of the animal were plainly visible
in the petrifaction and il seemed to
have been otherwise much emaciated,
this is probably the case. Emmett will
arrange TO have the strange find ex-
hibited in some museum. 1t frequently
happens that horses fall into the habit
of going to sleep while standing, and IL
must have been under these circum-
stances that the Panhandle broncho

GRANT AND WASHINGTON.

Two Wonderful Serials which 1.-THE Cen.
tury Magazine Has Secured for 1897.
One of the best friends that Gen.
Grant ever had was Horace Porter.
There firstmeeting was at Chattanooga
in the autumn of 1868. nd soon after
Gen. (then Captain) Porter became y
memberofGrant's staff and served with
him constantly until Lees surrender.
When Grant became president Horace
Porter was made mis- private secretary,
and until Gen. Grant breathed his last
at Mount McGregor the two men were
close friends. Nor did Gen. Porter's
love for his chief cease with his death,
for to him isdue the success of he move
ment to raise the half million of dollars
which the Grant monument in River
side park will cost. The Inauguration
of the tomb win take place next spring
on Grants birthday. and Gen. Porter
will be the orator of the occasion
During these years of intimacy with
Grant Gen. Porter kept diary, and in
his moments of leisure he has arranged
his unique stories of anecdotes and
memoranda into series of twelve ar
ticles, entitled Campaigning with
Grant" and The Century Magazine
has secured all rights in the series and
will print it during the coming year.
Since the famous Century War
Series for which Gen. Grant himself
wrote four articles (the beginning of
his ''Memoirs'), no magazine has had
such treat TO lay before its readers.
Another great serial in The Cen
fury is a novel of the American Reyo-
luton, written by the well-known Phil
adelphia physician, DIR. S. Wier Mitch
ell. whose literary reputation is as high
as his standing in his own profession
The story is supposed TO be the auto
biography of the hero, "HUgh Wynne.
Free Quaker" who becomes an officer
on Gen. Washington's staff. Social life
in the capital. Philadelphia, is most in
terestingly depicted. and the characters
in the story include Washington,
Franklin and Lafayette. The readers of
"Hugh Wynne. the Free Quaker" will
obtain a clearer idea of the Revolution
airy War than can be had from any
other single source. It is believed that
DIR. Mitchell has written "the great
american HONtl. lOI WHICH, VIC AteAfC
been waiting so many years
These are only two of the features of
The Century for the coming year-the
magazine that leads the world of pc
riodical literature. Very few of our
readers will lie without it in 1897. IL
costs S4.00 year. not too high price
for what The Century gives, but
many people are arranging TO club
together in groups of four, paying
one dollar each. and securing the
reading of the magazine one week
in the month. The publishers advise
the making up of clubs early. Send
$500 TO The Century Company, Union
square, New York. with tho name of
the person to whom the magazine
/ is to be sent. If you begin your
subscription with the December Christ
mas) number. the publishers will send
you copy of November free, in which
/ the two great serials begin.
