CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis, Dec. A.
The water tonight has receded thirty
seven inches and many of the buildings
lately under the flood are commencing
to reappear. Some of them have been
crushed in by the ice. A few business
men are moving back, although the ma
jority will remain at their present loca-
tions and take no chances. The ice
pack has ceased to grow the anchor ice
being carried under the gorge by the
swift current of the river. If the pres
ent conditions continue the ice will
gradually wear away. Everybody is
feeling not only relieved, but very san
guine over the outlook.
WATER RISING
DETROIT, Mich, Dec. A special
to the Free Press from Menominee,
Mich, says: Reports We're received
this evening to the effect that the water
is still rising in the Menominee river
above the ice gorge, which has formed
for sixteen miles above the head of
Grand Rapids. 1t is stated that on sew
eral farms the people are fleeing for their
lives. Barns and cellars are overflowing
and much fodder and provisions are de-
stroyed. The river has overflowed to
the Cedar river thus changing its
course.

Northern Pacific passengers will be

The Chinook wind that has been blow
ing for two days rapidly melted the re-
cent heavy fall of SHOW, and this, to-
gether with unusually heavy rains, has
brought on a flood that threatens to-
night to equal the one the effects of
which the railroads are just recovering 6

of the recent flood and rising, On the
Great Northern many washouts and

The weather is cold tonight. and it is
hoped the floods may recede. The North

will have built in few weeks. The tenn
porary structure was wrecked during
the recent flood ,and has been repaired
so as to permit of the passage r trains,

A NEW CURE-ALL.
A Patent Sanitarium to Be Located in
Los Angeles.

COLUMBIA, Mo-. Dec. 4.-Dr Thomas
Powell of Columbia. claims to have
learned how to inoculate the human sys-
tenn so as to render it impervious to dis
ease germs. AS vaccination prevents
smallpox, so this discovery will ward off
scarlet fever, consumption, diphtheria,
and every other disease caused by
germs. So confident is Dr. Powell of the
truth of his discovery that he has writ
ten largely for scientific journals on the
subject and has himself tested it prac-
tically by exposing himself to all man
ner of diseases. He entered this week
into an agreement with California cap
italists by which he is to be paid $4,000 for
a one-third interest in the discovery. A
sanitariun( will be erected in Los Ange-
les and experiments begun. If success
