FLOODFTD NOR. MILES

ELROY, Wis, June 12.-Heavy rain
has caused the Baraboo river to over
flow and the flats for INNS are flooded.
The Milwaukee road north of here is
washed out and trains are delayed.
The Northwestern tracks are also
washed out. Nearly mile of track is
washed out at Kendall. The iron
bridge at Wilton was carried away and
the abutments destroyed. The Sparta
yards are under water and both tun-
nels between that city and Elroy are
completely filled. The lower part of
the city is flooded and should the
water continue rising the residents will
be compelled to resort to boats to reach
high land. The cellars are full of
water and in places families were COM
PEELED to move into the second stories.
Farmers will sustain great loss of
stock.

KICKAPOO VALLEY INUNDATED.
VIOLA, Wis, June 12.-One of the
heaviest rain, hail and wind storms in
many years occurred here, and almost
the entire Kickapoo valley is mum
dated. A cloudburst occcered on Bear
creek, ten miles northeast of here, and
the entire fertile valley was swept by
a raging torrent. The Norm broke
upon the valley, rain descending in
torrents, accompanied by hail and
heavy winds. CultivatAI fields are
covered and almost ruined, some being
washed to depth of six feet At Rock

Kickapoo river is twelve feet above
low water mark and still rising rapidly
and all mill dams are being carried be-

I'VE thought rubber tires might be ap-

went fast, so we had another and harder
set made. The experiments with the second
set were entirely successful, and we might
have done we'll with them from a business

We first put on the wheel an iron tire or
socket to hold the rubber tire. This was

the outside and wider at the bottom than at
the opening. The rubber tire was about
seven-eighths of an inch thick and was
made almost square. We sprung it on with
a rope. Inc square corners ntted into the
socket; and the tire was tightly held in
place there by the pressure. There was about
half an inch Of rubber outside the socket.

that we would drive over into town. So we

Live Bird ON Her Hat.

One Chicago girls hat made a sensation
in the ladies' lunchroom at the Auditorium
yesterday. She came In from Michigan ave-
nue. and stopped for a moment in the parlor.
While there she noticed a young sparrow
fiutter in through the open window and
wheel once or twice around the room. She
felt IL brush against her hat In its flight.
but thought no more OF IL and passed on
into the lunchroom. She had picked up the
bill OF fare and was reading 1t when she
felt that some one was watching her. and.
glancing around. she discovered that she
was a focusing point for all the eyes In her
immediate vicinity.
OF course she blushed and colored up and
began to wonder at the cause OF the people's
interest. Just then the waiter, who had
been towering around. noticed her con-
fusion, and, bending down. whispered
..Pahdon me. miss. but dah's a live buhd on
yo' hat"
And then. instead Of going into mysteries,
she calmly said: Thank you. WIN you
please TO shoe Il on"
And the waiter 'shooed.. the sparrow to-
the hat fixed Il on straieht and proceedej
to order her luncheon.
