CHIPPEWA FLOODS.
Water Continues TO Rise and the Des.

mOus-Business Abandoned.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec. 2.-The
situation grows worse here hourly. The
water continues to rise and the de-
struction of property Is reaching enor-
nous proportions. The loss is already
nearly million dollars. and the indi-
cations are that 1t will be much great
er before the waters subsde. Fifty
business structures in this city have
been abandoned and the thoroughly
alarmed people are maklng every ef-
fort to leave as little for the incoming
waters to destroy as they possibly can.
Two hundred teams and drays have
rushed hither and thther all last night
and day, and the streets are Uttered
with various kinds of merchandise
which spilled over the sides and ends
of the overloaded wagons as they were
hurried to places of safety. The water
remained stationary until about 3
o'clock this morning. Then it began to
rise rapidly, and inside of four hours
an additional rise Of eighteen inches
had been registered. The river at 10
o'clock was twenty-four feet high and
rising. The Spring street merchants
who had stored goods in second floors
everything was moved. Business is
abandoned and the city is in state
of turmoil At go the water was
twenty-seven feet above low water
mark and still rising. A large guam
tity of dynamite was brought here,
but there is little or no hope of break
ing the ice gorge. That the city is
doomed is the general belief The river
at Durand has fallen, but the town
will be in danger until the flood sub
