L0WLANDS SWEPT BY FLOOD
Big and Little Rib and Chippewa Riv.
ers Swollen Following
Heavy Rains.

Wausau-- Heavy rains at head wa
tiers and along the valley OF Big Rib
river have changed the stream into a
torrent of madly rushing waters. in
undating lowIands and bringing great
quantities of flood trash and logs into
Lake Wausau.
Little Rib river is also very high,
and both are rising. The Wisconsin
river here is almost at flood stage
and slowly rising. If the predicted
rain comes on Friday, melting the
deep snow in the woods north of Tom
ahawk and Eagle River the situation
may become serious. All along the
river the gates in dams are open to
allow quick passage OF water, and all
possible precautions are being taken
against damage.
The railroad under the viaduct high
bridge was closed as a precaution
against further rise and washouts. A
log jam above the bridge in the north
part of the city threatens the struc-
ture, an attempt being made to move
it with dynamite. The Milwaukee road
IS Hooded at Heights. Passengers
were transferred by boats.
Little Town Flooded.
Chippewa Falls.-Much territory ad-
Jacent TO the banks of the Chippewa
river faces a serious flood The little
town Of Cobban, fifteen miles north of
here, is under eight feet of water and
the residents have fed to the bluffs
near the city. Cobban has a popula-
ton Of $50. The breaking of a big
Ice gorge in the river on the east city
limits in Chippewa Falls caused great
anxiety here for a time.
The telephone operator at Cobban
remained at his post until the water
reached his waist. He notified Chip
peWa Falls and other places along
the river of its rapid rise and then
fed.
A terrific thunder storm broke up
the ice gorges one mile up the Chip
peWa river from here letting loose a
roaring torrent of ice, water and de
Orls. Thousands of tons of ice eigh.
teen inches thick swirled and twisted
down the stream, carrying with it sew
eral log booms. Thus augmented, the
river roared down stream and practi-
cally ruined the Omaha railroad
bridge.

ClIisc to women in the British Isles
US they have not Il majority of the

Of wcmans suffrage. Speakers for
the depuation from the oxford
Mems Political Union told Mr.. Lloyd
George frankly that he, being in
favor of votes for women should
wreck the government If 1t did not
grant them the parliamentary fran

public opinion in the British Isles
against them and there is no use in
trying to pass woman's suffrage
bill against the wishes Of the public.
"As to the forcible feeding of the
hunger strikers the only alternative
is TO allow them to starvC and that
