BONDS At $2,5oo.o0
Council Places Owners Of Hacks,
Buses or Other Vehicles for Hire
Under $4,000 Bonds.

The city council held meeting on
Monday evening at which time they
gave the Standard Oil Co. permission
to operate a service station at the
corner of Main and Walnut streets. A
representative of the company was
present and explained the purpose OF
the station which will be built OF
stone and pressed brick on the corner
of the lot formerly occupied by the
Thew barn. Gasoline and lubricating
oil will be sold to motorists and the
most improved measuring devices will
be used. The ground for the building
has been purchased Of j. w. Miller, jr.
who recently bought the property.
An ordinance was passed by the
council fixing the bonds of owners
of busses, hacks and other We
hicles used for hire at $2,500.00 per
year. The larger cities are requir-
ing bonds of $5,OO0.O0 and more but
the city fathers thot that the above
amount would be more reasonable for
Denison. This means that every own
er of a vehicle who carries passen-
gers whether nickle or $500 is
charged, will be compelled to take
out a license and furnish a bond OF
$2,500.00. The make of the machine
together with the register number
will be noted in the bond so that If
any accidents occurr, they will be
made good.

Style Show Held by Geo. Menagh &
Co. at Opera House Saturday
Attended by 1900 People.
FASHIONS EXPLAINED BY Mr.. CINE
Lecturer Paid High Compliment to
Menagh Concern for Showing
Such Complete and Correct Line

Over twelve hundred people were
the guests of George Menagh & Com
pany at the Germania opera house on
Saturday afternoon to witness their
presentation Of the 1917 fashions OF
wearing apparel for women, and to say
that the style review was a success
would be putting it mildly. 1t has
been the one topic Of conversation at
all gatherings of the ladies since last
Saturday, and even the men have
been discussing it too. The fact that
Mr.. Ora Che, the one authority on
women's fashions in the country, was
present made the style show doubly
attractive, and everyone enjoyed his
talk on what was proper to wear. His
bride of only four weeks accompanied
him and exhibited few of her beau
tiful gowns that brought EXPLANATIONS
of approval from the audience. Seven
beautiful models, one OF whom was a
Denison matron, appeared on the stage
showing the latest in gowns, suits,
coats and skirts taken from the Men
agh stock.
Heretofore it has been the custom
to hold one show in the afternoon and
another in the evening, but owing to
the fact that Mr.. and Mrs. Che were
compelled to take the evening train
for the east two exhibitions were CIV
en- in the afternoon, one at 1 o'clock
and the other at 8. Both houses were
packed. 80. .....- ... .
Mr.. David Menagh, who has charge
Of the branch store in Omaha, spoke
briefly, thanking the Denison people
for the interest they take in the semi
annual style show, and introduced Mr..
Cne. ~,
Mr.. Cne, a man probably forty years
Of age, of small stature. told of having
had charge of the Menagh style show
in Omaha. He expressed himself as
surprised that firm in the middle
west could handle such a complete
line of correct wearing apparel for
women, and explained that it was on
ly possible because Mr. David Menagh
kept in such close touch with the big
importers and designers in New York
city. after spending forty~eight hours
on the train, to devote few hours at
the metropolis. Speaking of Denison,
he described it as "A clever little
city," Mr.. Cne stated that he and his
wife were that day celebra ting their
fourth wedding anniversary-having

than doubled the price of wool in the
worlds market. It became the rage,
not only in Europe, but in America as
we'll. ~.
Skirts, said Mr. Che. are longer this
season than they were year ago and
the correct length is now seven inch
es. He attributed this to the fact that
the old men were praying to live a
hundred years for each year it seems
the skirts were getting shorter. When
the skirts go down the waist line goes
up and this year the waist lines are
two inches higher. Pockets on skirts
are now all the fad and they are found
in many attractive designs. Silks are
being used in great quantities this

FIRE DOES DAMAGE.
Home of Louie Pransc'ke Scorched
on Saturday Night-Origin Of TIE
Fire Defective FIue.

A fire at the Louie Pranschke home,
located on East Walnut street, called
out the fire department on Saturday
evening, and although flames were
breaking out of the roof when the de-
partment arrived on the scene, it was
soon under control. Considerable dam
age was done. however, by fire and
water, but this is covered by insur-
ance.
Mr. and Mrs. Pranschke were not
at home at the time, having gone to
the picture show. The fire was first
noticed by a passerby, who turned in
the alarm. The fire department made
a record run, considering the fact that
the streets were icy, and in a few
minutes had a stream of water, play
ing on the burning roof. Household
goods were removed to portion Of
the residence which was in no dan
ger
The origin of the fire is not known,
but some are of the opinion that de-
fective fiue was the cause.
J The residence is the old J. Fred
Meyers home, which up until a short
time ago was owned by Mr.. Nicholson.

Residents Of Denison are experience
ing considerable difficulty with frozen
water pipes and the plumbers are the
most sought for men in town these
days. Water pipes leading from mains
into residences are frozen in many
instances. Some Of the older resi-
dents tell us that not for thirty years
has the frost penetrated to such a
depth as it has this year, which Is
probably due to the long continued cold
spell. James Rollins, who lives out in
East Boyer township, reports that his
water system has frozen this winter
for the first time since it was installed
some thirty years ago. ]. H. Hayes
reports the same condition on his farm
south of Denison.
