LOVE IN JULY IS BAD.
Heir of English Peer Advises Against
Cupid's Summer Attacks I'm
less They Last.

APPLETON, Wis, June 30.-[Spe-
cial. If you fall in love in July wait
until September, and if you still feel that
way, then be married for it is the real
thing. But don't take chance on your
feelings in July, for it's a gamble they
will change with the weather"
This is the advice which Thomas b.
Phillips of Kaukauna, an heir to $1,000
600, and yet unhappy, gives to young
men. Phillips has had his troubles #
late in matrimonial affairs. He has
been twice married, his first wife having
died, and the second one being divorced.
Wife number two is now married. Last
winter, Phillips and his wife sprung into
considerable prominence because of suits
between them.
The advisor of young men claims that
he is the grandson Of the late Lord Guy
c.. Burnham, an English peer who left
an estate of $67,0OO,000 and Phillips
says he will take steps through his at
torney to get his share of the property,
which he says is at least $1,OOO,0OO.

SPRING VALLEY AFLOA7
Cloudburst Strikes City, Doing Gres,
Damage to Property and Ruin
ing Gardens.

SPRING VALLEY, Wis, June 40
Special This city experienced the
worst washout which it has ever Seen
last Sunday, when a clourburst strucE
the city, and practically set it afoat
and adrift. The citizens did not reaIizo
the great fall of water till the Eau GALL
river had overfowed it's banks and was
flooding the town.
A rescue party was at once organized
by the men of Spring Valley, and these
went about in wagons, and on RATS and
in boats In many cases the latter had
to be used to save people from their
houses. A great many people were ten,
porarily rendered homeless, but the flood
soon receded. and communications bv
railroad have not been interrupted. Sev
eral team bridges were, however, swept
from the river.
The greatest loss in this city is to gen
eral stores, and to gardens. Nearly every
basement is filled with water, and the
dancing pavilion which had been erected
for the Fourth of July celebration was
washed loose, and it drifted several
blocks. finally being logded against one
of the banks of the city, where it is now
moored Crews have been put to work
repairing damage in the city.

CHIPPEWA REDS

INDIAN OF WISCONSIN NOW IN

KID.
ALL IN BANK DEPOSIT.
Funds of Tribe Have Doubled in Three
Years, Making It the Wealthiest
in the Northwest.
ALL IN BANK DEPOSIT.
MANY OWN REAL PROPERTY.

ASHLAND, Wis, June 3O.-[Spe-
cial. For the first time in the history
of the Chippewa Indians of northern
Wisconsin, they now have an even mil
lion dollars on deposit in the banks OF
Ashland, Hudson, Duluth and Bayfield,,
and at the present rate of progress, the
richest aggregation of people IN the state,
will be these former wards" of the gov
eminent. In 1905, only three years ago,
the Bad River Indians had $32S,OOO,
the Courte Orrielle in Sawyer county,
$4,000, the Red Cliff Indians. $4,000,
and La Flambeau in Villas county, $780,
900, the total being $4,000, which now,
in less than three years, has increased
to an even million dollars. In addition,
the Indians have claims against the
government aggregating 100000, repre-
senting the difference in value between
the sums paid them in greenbacks for
their treaty claims in war times, and
the gold value.
Bad River Reds Richest.
There are 5000 Chippewas under the
control of the LaPointe agency at Ash,
land, including the reservations at Fond
du Lac near Duluth, Grand Portage,
Grand Marais and Cass Lake, Minnesota,
but the million dollar bank account it will
be noted, belongs to only part OF the
Indians on three or four reservations, the
greatest amount being that due the Bad
River Indians at Odanah, near Ashland.
This sum represents the money from the
sale of pine. Many of the Indians have
not sold their pine, all Of them own real
estate, and on some of the reservations,
no pine has been cut.
La Flambeau Pine Exhausted.
The pine is practically exhausted at
La Flambeau, although there will be
small cut for the next three years, and
by executive order, this reservation will
be set off from the La Pointe agency
July /. w. n Stickles, late superintend-
ent of the Chiloeco school of Oklahoma,
has been designated as the new superin-
tendent of the La Flambeau school and
will have camplete charge, of the reser-

on the records at Ashland severay days,
and will take charge of La Flambeau

bank.

HIS CHARIOT ABLAZE.
Broom Peddler Sets Fire to His Load,
and Nearly Went Mad Over
His Loss

FOND DU LAC, Wis, June 81
Especial. when Edwin Potter rode
in state down the street yesterday after
noon in carriage, which was in a blaze
with burning brooms, he looked more
distinguished than the same Edwin Pot
ter did, when he discovered his loss.
Potter was inconsolable, and tried madly
to save his property. But the brooms,
there were about 300 of them in the load,
were burned to ashes, and, 50 was the
wagon. In fact the only things that
remained of the blazing chariot and it's
total equipment, were the horses, Potter,
and red hot iron frame.
