HEAVY RAIN AT VAIL
Parts of Crawford County Enjoy
copious Rain on Tuesday-Dam-
T.. age North and East Of Here

A heavy rain storm visited various
sections of Crawford county Tuesday
afternoon, but Denison escaped with
only a shower which was not enough
to hardly settle the dust
At Vail the storm was particularly
severe and considerable damage is re-
ported there. The water was high on
the main street and flooded many of
the Easements and damaged the gas
plant to great extent.
MI Mcintosh, superintendent of
the municipal light plant of Denison,
in company with r. V. Walker, were
in Vail this morning comforting with
Mr. Ben Olson, president of the Com
mercial club, Maurice O'Connor, may
or, and bankers and leading business
men in regard to electric current
They proposed to the Vail business
men that they erect a line from Vail
to Denison and furnish current from
Denison's plant. The Vail business
men were most favorable to the prop
osition and it is possible that some
action will be taken on the matter in
the near future.
Damage is reported both north and
west of Denison and from reports
reaching the Review office today it
was the heaviest fall Of rain this
season. Most of the small grain is
stacked. so there will be little dam
age to 1t.

First National Bank Building at

Geo. Menagh aEl company have
tional Bank building on 10th street
in Omaha and will open up new
store at this excellent location the
fore part OF next month. The Men,
aghs will then have three stores in
operation, the combined business OF
which will run upwards of half mil
lion dollars.
Since opening up their store on
Farnum street, styled The House Of
Menagh, their business has been in
creasing by leaps and bounds, until
it became necessary for them to make
arrangements to handle their increas-
ed patronage. After considerable
study Of the situation, they came to
conclusion it would be best to open
a branch store and so leased space
in the First National Bank building
on 10th street, which is in the heart
Of the shopping di strict OF Omaha,
and considered one of the best To-
cations for ladies' wearing apparel
store in the city. OF course, the rem
tai is high and will I'm into the thous-
ands of dollars each year. This new
store will be conducted under the
name of the House Of Menagh Annex.
Mr.. James Menagh. manager of the
Denison store, informs the Review
that the Menagh Annex will feature
medium priced women's garments,
while the Farnum street store will be
devoted to higher priced merchan-
disc. With the three stores, the
Menaghs are now able to go to the
eastern markets and purchase goods
in quantities and at lrices as low as
the big department stores Of the cities
and in many instances, even cheaper
than they will be able to buy goods.
: The Menaghs are to be congratu-
lated upon their successful career
in the merchandise business and the
people of Denison and community
will rejoice with them in their sue
cess.
