THRILLING EXPERIENCE
OF a Medical Student In The Gal
weston Disaster.

jill DsVoti, a :medicsl student In the
University of Texas at Galveston, ar
rived in Ell Paso Sunday. He was in
Galveston during the storm and had
some thrilling experiences. A short
while before the worst came he tele-
phoned she weather man and asked
him what he thought was going to
happen. The weather man advised him
to put on his bathing suit and he dill
so.
II was not long until the water WAS
In the street in front of his house.
Then neighbor came in and told him
that the HOUSE. next to his home was
going to Ia e a tumble. That house
was four story brick and his home
was two story frame. so he thought il
best to be out when the brick fell.
He and his mother and sister went
across the street to another house,
wading water in the street waist deep.
His mother and sister were hvs.erical
and he locked them in . room and went
back to his home. The brick house
had fallen on the rear of his and crush
ed 1t In but he spent the night in HE
own house.
The next few days he spent In help
ing care for the dead and wounded,
his knowledge of surgery comiuR Ii
handy In this work. His family had
considerable other property in the icity
but he was SO buoy aiding In the bury

wounded that he never got to see how
the other houses stood the ordeal. Then
the awful stencil and the work began
to tell upon him as he Is not a stout
man anyway and he was forced to leave
the city.
His first impression when the final
blow came Was that the city was sink.
ing in the middle, where he lived, and
the edges were milling in;upon them.
When the waters receded, he SAYS Il
may have been Imagination but it
seemed to him that the city had sunk
several feet. The water receded rapid
~, the waist-deep water in the street
In front of his home disappearing in
twenty minutes after it started to 90
down. The only injuries he received
were the strain on his nervous system
from which he is still suffering, and Q
long cash cut in his hand by come fly
ing object when he was crossing the
street.
Mrs. DeVoti and daughter have Joined
the son and brother here and they
will remain In this city for about two
months, when he thinks it will be cafe
to return TO Galveston and continue

going from Chicago to
the Graham combina-
ton stores in Texas
would be a revelation
to the ordinary dealer.
One dry goods house
has sent as much as a

there have been at least
a dozen shipments in

is not surprising that
this combination Of
stores can use such
quantities Of goods, for
the Graham Syndi-
cate;;" as it is commonly
referred to on the mar
ket, has seventeen
stores in different towns

in Texas are located at

Oklahoma City.
Mr.. A. E. Graham, of
Denton, Texas, is the
founder Of these stores,
and when he comes to
market with his seven

siderable of a commo- [
ton among jobbers and 1
manufacturers who are I
looking for big bills: I
The reason all the stores I
are represented on these I

keep all of them bright
ened up by personal
contact with the market
and to enable the city
buyers to keep in touch
with the different stores
and learn justwhat they \
need. The resident y
buyer in Chicago is Mr.. \
Peel, with an office at Y

This gentleman is con-
stantly on the look out Y
for bargains as well as

Money In Copper.

Owing 30 the great advance In the
price OF copper which has taken place
during the last year, copper mining has
come to be more profitable than gold
mining. The increase in demand for
copper which came with the applica-
tion OF electricity to so many of the
daily uses ollie has caused the increase
In price and the uses to which 1t Is vet
likely to be put make the chances good
for the price of copper to become still
higher. Miners are opening up old
properties that have been lying idle for
years because they could not be worked
TO profit and are now making big money
by so doing. There is money in copper
now and there IL no doubt but what the
time Is near at hand when there will be
still more In it and Is the demands for
rick In opening up all the copper pro-
pertfes possible.

O'Clock This Evening.
On account of delay in unloading and
placing several car loads of vehicles the
managers of the automobile show at Con-
vention Hall have decided to open the ex-
hibition this evening at 6 o'clock, instead of

One of the noted arrivals at the hall this
morning was Mr.. c. G. Wridgway who
left New York on his De Dion Bouton mo-
torette, gasoline power, last Friday The

for the most of the way he had to plow
through mud and sand. His best stretch
was from New York to Philadelphia, which
was covered in five hours and forty-tve
minutes, which is not far from the record
time.
From Baltimore to this city he had the
most difficult part Of his task. Many times
the mud was deep that he had to get
out and cut way out of mud hole. In
covering this distance he consumed three
hours and ten minutes. Mr.. WridgWay has
reason to believe that the roads to the
west superior to those in this section.
August at the rate of eighty miles a day
for three weeks, and found the going good
at all times He has sent to the local show
a racing machine of the same make as the
one he drove here, which is clarQed to go

way has en-. red the lists Of all the races
