Who feed on sweetness, knowing they must

Who take life's bitterness doth knight

Well back beyond the forests lowered edge

TWO BANDITS ARRESTED

CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis.,, December 2
--Confusion rolgns in Chippewa Falls;
to-day, and the thoroughly alarmed
people are making every effort to leave
as little for the incoming waters to
destroy as possible. Two hundred
teams and drays rushed hither and
thitber all night and day. and the
streets are Uttered with various kinds OF
merchandise, spilled over the sides and
ends of every overloaded wagon. The
water remained stationary until 8
O'Clock this morning, then began to
rise, and inside OF four hours an addi-
tional rise of sixteen inches was
registered. The river at 10 O'Clock
was twenty four feet high and rising.
Business is abandoned and the city 10
in state of tumult. A large amount
of dynamite has arrived and men are
trying to place it to break the gorge.
The central depot is under water and
will be carried away before night.
Fifty OF the largest business houses
have been abandoned. The estimate
OF damage reaches over $1,000, 900
The river at Durand has fallen, but the
town will be 10 great danger when the
Chippewa Falls gorge is broken.
At 2:30 p. M, to-day, the water is
twenty.seven feet above low water
mark, and still rising. The greatest
excitement prevails. There is no hope
of breaking the ice gorge with dyna-
mite and that work has been aban-
doned. That the city is doomed is ad-
mitted by all.

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana, December 2.
An important movement looking to
the holding of national convention Of
delegates from commercial bodies, to
consider the monetary question was
inaugurated here to-day, at a confer
ence of representatives Of boards of
trade and similar bodies from all the

board Of trade of this city. 1t is de-
sired to appoint commission of re-
putable business men to prepare plan
for non-partisan legislation. The
special aim is to prevent immature
action upon question which so in-
timately concerns the stability Of busi-
ness. The delegates assembled
shortly after IL o'clocA, at the rooms
of the board of trade, and were well
coined by President j. G. Adams.

MANAGES TERRIBLE DEED

New YORK, N Y, December 2 -
The reported engagement of Sadie Nc
Donald to the Earl of Shaftesbury is
the talk Of the Rialto. Although but
twenty-three years OF age, the fortu-
nate soubrette, who is petite and de-
cidedly pleasing Of appearance, has
made name for herself in farce
comedy and burlesque. II the story Of
her engagement Is true, she will receive
congratulations from . host Of friends
in and out OF the profession.
The Shaftesbury earldom was cre-
ated in 1879. The present Earl, Lord
Anthony, wss born September 1st,
1862 His father, the late Lord Ash
ley Anthony, gained reputation as a
legislator in the house OF commons,
but it was Lord Anthony's grandfather
who gave to the house Of Shaftesbury
an enduring fame. During the second
half OF his life--he died
some ten years ago, on the
eve OF his ninetieth birthday--he was
regarded as one of the most devou,
and public spirited men in the United
Kingdom. Although an EpiscopalIan,
be was warm friend and supporter
OF all Christian mo vements and de-
nominations. He created and befrend-
ed organizations Of newsboys. Of boot
blacks and Of cabdrivers; presided al
their meetings, and contributed liber-
ally from his enormous means toward
their maintenance. Night after night
he was to be found on the platform Of
Exeter hall aud other public places 10

thropic movements, and in the inter
