NO. 58 One of Heaviest Storms of the Year Sunday Rainfall of Over Two Inches Falls in An Hour and Causes a Slight Overflow. . - From Monday's Dally Last evening from 5:4a to 7 o'clock this city was visited by one of the heaviest rains of the season and in which a record of 2.16 inches of rainfall was recorded at the gov ernment weather bureau at the Bur lington station. The storm followed a day of un usual closeness and humidity and that a severe storm was the cul mination was not surprising as the heavy banks of clouds that commenc ed to roll up in the northwest at 4:30 was a warning of the approach of the storm and caused the more timid minded to hasten to their homes in anticipation of the coming storm. The rainfall filled the streets with water in a few moments after the storm opened up and the sewers of North and South Sixth street were able to carry the volume of water nicely until after the rain had ceas ed when the flood waters from the northwest part of the city swept down on the main section of the city. The volume of water which is drained from a very large territory was much too great for the sewer on Washington avenue to handle and as the result the overflow swept on down to the business section and had North 6th street from Main to fiifth filled from curb to curb for minutes and a part of the flood water swept on into Main street and was carried on to the river bottoms. There was no damage to property reported as the result of the rain and the overflow proved no worse than to furnish a little excitement for the Sunday evening crowds who watched the flowing of the flood wa ter with the greatest interest. The bottom land east of the Bur lington station was swept by the flood waters and the baseball park was under several feet of. water for some time and the overflow swept over onto the August Bach farm and gave William Roedecker, who re sides there, some extra work in keep ing the water out of the house as It rose to the depth of several feet around the farm house. RAIN DELAYS TRAVELERS From Monday's Daily The heavy rainstorm late yester day afternoon was the cause of a large number of auto tourists being held up in this city for the night and the garages were kept busy with their repair outfits in getting cars out of ditches and mud over the city where some ventursome driver had got his car into difficulties by get ting off the pavement. Several tour ists who sought to get out on their way to Omaha found themselves caught in the eight miles of road that intervenes between here and the graveled road at Fort Crook and with the result that they were lying along the roadside between here and the fort and requiring the assistance of the repair outfits to rescue them. The hotels of the city were well filled last night by the tourists who wise ly concluded to store their cars and wait for better weather conditions before traveling on their way. RETURNS FROM OUTING From Monday's Dally County Judge and Mrs. A. H. Dux bury and little daughter, and Coun ty Attorney W. G. Kleck who have been vacationing at Parkers Falls, Minnesota,. returned home yesterday and report a very fine outing in the Minnesota country although they found a great deal of damp and chilly weather and also that the fishing was not the best as the lateness of the season has caused the fish, to cease their biting. However the Judge and the prosecuting attorney were able to while away many hours very pleasantly In seeking the elusive fish and in which they found many a real pleasurable hour. The trip was made by auto and allowed the members of the party the opportun ity of viewing many points of in terest along the way.

Following this was an address by Governor Adam Mc- MUllen, who referred in no way to politics or his candidacy for the place which he now occupies. His address was well received. Then followed the session of the Old Maid's Club, which was funnier than a basket of mon keys, for it sure deliniated the char acter of some people, and how they proceeded to secure a husband, as well as giving a very tart lesson in etequette, and especially table man ners. We are indebted to this organiza tion for their calling very forceful attention that it pays to advertise in the Journal. One member claimed she knew of a sister who had adver tised in the Journal for a husband the ad costing S2.50, getting a pro posal the following day.
