SHOW WINDOWS

Business Houses of Denison in Gala
Spring Attire, Showing the Lat
est in Fashions Realm.
WINDOWS EQUAL THOSE OF CITY
8alIe-Brodersen Co. Represented With
Japanese Settings, in Which
Much Ability Is Displayed.

If the show windows of the Denison
stores are prognosticators of the
weather, spring surely must be upon
us. Every merchant in the city
has bedecked his windows with
the latest creations of spring wearing
apparel, and the windows are attract
ing considerable attention. Possibly
the most popular are those of the mil
linery establishments, which appeal to
the feminine eye. The windows Of
the Bamford and Hall esta blishments
are exceedingly attractive and the ar
ray OF spring bonnets is most alluring
While their show windows are not as
large as some others in the city. they
have been tastily decorated and are
very pretty.
The windows of the Geo. Menagh
and company store are always nicely
decorated. but special effort has been
made by the management of this store
for the spring opening and their large
display window on Broadway is at
tracing considerable attention. being
decorated with pink roses and other
spring flowers. In the window there
is on display the latest creations in
women's apparel brought to Denison
direct from New York. and some of
the models from Paris. Their Main
street windows are devoted to mems
wearing apparel and here may be
found the latest styles in the various
spring shades.
The clothing firms of Corlette & Du-
cander, c. c. Kemming, Huettmann
Brothers and Haugh & Drummer con-
tain displays of goods that cannot be
surpassed even in the larger cities.
The clothing displayed would please
even the most fastidious.
While the Boys store is handicap
ped on account of limited space, their
east window contains many beautiful
pieces of spring dress material and is
attistically arranged and gives only
a slight idea of the many beautiful
things that may be found inside.
The Balle-Brodersen company take
great pride in their window displays
and their trimmer, Mr.. r. B. Thomp-
son. has gone to particular pains to ar
range them artistically and from the
crowd of people viewing them his work

MAY RESORT TO sPRlNkLING
Commercial Club Holds Meeting and
Appoints Committee to Arrange
With City for Water.

Thirty-five members of the CONNER
cial club were in attendance at the
special meeting, which was held last
Friday evening for the purpose OF dis
cussing the matter of sprinkling the
streets of the city. While the attend
ance was large, we are told that only
eight business houses were represent
ed, which is to be regretted, as the
condition of the business streets is a
topic of vital importance to every mer-
chant in the city.
1t was evident that those in attend
ance at this meeting were not in favor
of donating money for the purpose OF
oil again this year, and it was the
opinion of all that the oiling proposi
ton has been complete failure as
far as settling the dust is concerned
Everyone present favored the propo
sition of sprinkling and committee
composed Of Alfred Wright and Hugo
Gebert was appointed to meet with the
city officials and make arrangements
for the water to be used.
Doubtless sprinkling will have to be
deferred for some time. inasmuch as
the city wells barely furnish enoug
water for the present needs.

is certainly appreciated. All five win
dows are Japanese settings and those
who have the impression that paper
lanterns, parasols, ETC., constitute the
decorative feature in such a display
will be disappointed. Mr.. Thompson,
after many trips through the Carnegie
library and after extensive research
work, has designed the settings fror
real Japanese art. The fairgrounds
are of entrances, gates, fountains, etc.,
with backgrounds of nappy green
goods in cut out effect of japanese
fir trees. Back of these are scenes of
Japanese landscapes in haZy tones and
vague lines with the snow capped
mountains in the distance. The beau
tiful pale blue wisteria looks most re-
The roof, gates and trimmings are

to harmonic with the remainder of
the setting. In designing the windows
care was taken not to draw attention
directly to the setting, but by har-
mony, richness and contrasting colors
to emphasize the attraction of mer-
chandise. Everything essential to
lady's wardrobe is on display in these
beautiful windows and the soft orient
al shades of the spring cloths harmon
ize with the decorations.
1t is we'll worth a trip to Denison to
view the attractive display windows
of our merchants.

COURT DIRECTS
FOR THE COUNTY
Dugan VS. Crawford Co. Automobile
Accident Case Tried at Sac City
Results in Verdict for County
$4,000 DAMAGES WAS ASKED
County Attorney Bell Proved His Fl
deity to Crawford's Interests in
Preparation of Case.

The case of c. M. Dugan, admins
traitor. against Crawford county fol-
damages growing out of an accident
which caused the death Of his son
Michael Dugan, by running into an
spen ditch in the highway south OF
Vail, where a culvert was being con.
Structed, has been on trial for a week
at Sac City. The case was concluded
at late hour on Monday night by the
court. on motion of defendant, direct
Ing verdict to be rendered absolving
tke county fI> i all liability.
1t will be remembered that young
Dugan, who was slightly under IS
years Of age, in the absence of his
parents, on the Goth Of September last,
took his fathers automobile and a
party Of young friends and went driv-
ing in the evening and that on their
way south of Vail about three and a
half miles ran into an opening where
culvert was being constructed across
The highway. The opening was in the
leighborhood of nine or ten feet in
depth and perhaps of greater width.
The car turned completely over and

found pinned under it. The other oc-
cupants of the car were injured more
or less, but soon recovered and suf-
fered no permanent injuries as the re-
suit of the accident. About month
before the accident barrier had been
placed across the highway just north
of the culvert, which consisted of a
heavy bridge plank that had been used
for some time as a part of the old
bridge which had stood there, the
plank being about 16 feet in length, a
foot in width and fastened securely to
posts which had been set at either
ond of it, and which extended across
the travelled part of the highway. The
plank was placed in the neighborhood
af three and a half to four feet above
the ground and was located thir-
teen or fourteen feet north of the open
ditch.
The accident occurred about 8
o'clock in the evening and at time
when it was said to be very dark. Soon
after the accident notice was served
on behalf of all of the injured parties
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1914-03-25

making a claim against the county
amounting in the aggregate to $4,000
Suits were soon after started on be-
half of the several parties. The case
of c. M. Dugan, administrator of the
estate of the young man who was
killed, was for $4,000, and this case
alone has been tried with the result
that the county is held not to be liable.
Inc evidence was quite voluminous
and showed that the young people met
at Vail about 7 o'clock in the evening
and soon after started on drive
which took them in a southery direc-
ton and over the highway where the
accident occurred. The testimony
shows that the headlights were lighted
when the parties left Vail, but at a
point some two and half miles south
of town, when a person on horseback
coming to town passed them, the lights
we're out and the car standing in the
highway facing the south. The parties
who were in the car at the time testi-
fed that the lights were started again
and that they travelled on south at a
rate of speed in the neighborhood of
20 to Is miles an hour, and that the
carrier, which confronted them before
reaching the culvert in question, was
not seen by them until they were prac-
tically upon it, although there was a
stretch of road for more than 800 feet
north of the barrier with no obstruc-
tions or anything to render full view
of the barrier from car ca1cying Or
dinary lights.
The automobile struck the barrier
with such force as to drive the board
from the posts and carry it into the
ditch ahead, and after the accident it
was found under the car in the ditch.
The claim was made by the plaintiff
in order to justify recovery against
the county, that the barrier was not
sufficient to warn travellers and that
it was located too near the opening.
The county on the contrary insisted
purpose of a signal of danger and that
the young man who was driving the
car was guilty of contributory negli-
gence in not seeing the barrier in time
to have averted the accident The
county also contested its liability in
any event and claimed that it was not
in any way responsible for the acci-
dent.
The plaintiff was represented on the
trial by Maurice O'Connor, of Vail, and
the firm of Ellwood & Torgee, of Sac
City, while the interests of the county
We're taken care of by Andrew Bell,
Jr., county attorney of Crawford coun-
ty, Mr.. Currie. of Sac City. and J...P.
Conner, of Denison. While the
trial was intense and earnest it was
free from bitterness or feeling of any
kind on the part of those engaged in
it.

Make PEP0RT
Two Of the Appraisers Agree on $751;,
OoO As Consideration for the
Electric Light Plant.
REPORT FILED ON TUESDAY
Cause for Congratulation That Con.
clusion Has Been Reached-Now
Up to the Parties.

The long delayed report of the ar
bitrators to determine the value of the
electric light plant finally came early
! in the week. The matter had been
under consideration for two or three
weeks and people naturally wondered
why the report was not made sooner.
1t seems that after the parties met in
| Denison and had their preliminary
meeting that an adjournment was
found necessary and the representa-
tive of the company and the city as
we'll were to make their reports and
estimate to Mr. Humphrey, the third
member of the commission. The COM
pany's representative made his report
promptly at the time agreed, but there
was some delay on the part of Mr.. Hill
in presenting his report. Before Mr..
Hills report reached Mr.. Humphrey
he had left che city of Chicago for ten
days and the matter was necessarily
postponed until his return the latter
part Of last week. Upon his return to
Chicago the case was taken up and
early this week conclusion reached,
finding that the city should pay $31 900
for the plant and in addition for coal
supplies on hand at the time it is TAX
en- over.
Mr.. Hill came out to Denison yes
terday to make his verbal report to the
city council. 1t seems to have been
his policy, since appointed represent
ative of the city, to make verbal re-
ports rather than written reports. 1t
appears that neither the company nor
the city is satisfied with the finding,
the company thinking the amount is
too small while the city thinks the
amount is too large. 1t is a cause for
congratulation that conclusion has
been reached and it is now up to the
parties to carry out the arrangement
or to show some legal reason why it
shall not be carried out. We are un-
able to say what either party intends
to do as they have not had time to
cool off since the report was filed.

ANOTHER store
FOR DENISON
In the Addition of Furniture De-
partment George Menagh & Co.,
Create New Store.
LEASE UPPER LAUB BLOCK
Forty-Two Hundred Feet Of Floor
Space to Be Added to Already
Large Department Store.

Negotiations closed last week for
the rental of the second story Of the
Laub block to George Menagh C COM
pany, to be used as furniture depart
ment, the space to be occupied GOV
ering 4200 square feet, and utilizing
the space from the Menagh Main
street entrance to the Bank OF Deni-
son. u
The establishing of fp IRE de-
partment by the Menagh's virtually
means a new store for our city, and
the firm promises it to be one of the
best stocked furniture stores in this
vicinity. Buyers are now in the east
searching markets Cor this opening
stock. 1t is planned to open the store
between May 1st and May 18TH, and
possibly sooner. Workmen are now at
work tearing out the partitions, rear
ranging elevators and laying new
floors. The entire upper floor of the
Laub block will be made in one room,
and the furniture displayed to repre-
sent rooms in the home.
Mr.. George Menagh will be in Den
ison and personally superintend the
opening. He will be ably assisted by
a corps of sales people of sufficient
size to wait upon the heavy trade that
is anticipated. Mr.. Menagh says the
idea of starting furniture store is not
entirely new with him; that he has
had it under consideration for some
little time and is now of the opinion
that the time has arrived for the
establishing of a department such as
contemplated.
In making this addition the Menagh
store will rank with the larger stores
of the state and will place the firm on
ia footing equal to the department
stores of the large cities. They will
be in a position to place their hands
upon any line of stock they should de
sire to purchase.
The Review commends the enter
prise of this firm and trusts that their
fondest anticipations may be realized
| from the new department. :
