ment. MIR. Robertson wrote to the
headquarters OF the company propos-
ing such gift. and in reply the pres
ident OF the Otis concern answered
that he had made inquiry az the Mas
sachusetts Institute OF Technology
and the officers there said the young
men received from the Texas Agri-
cultural and Mechanical College were
better prepared than students from
anywhere In the country and he did
not think the equipment proposed by
Mr.. Robertson extensive enough. so
he proposed a greater gift. and that
Is the one just received. The set OF
equipment consists OF an elevator

everything that efficiency and safety
could demand. Its value Is about
$1,000. The equipment came in three
pieces and was unloaded by the sen
ior class in the department. a section
OF the laboratory wall was taken out
and the new equipment placed. The
largest OF the three pieces weighed
six thousand pounds The boys OF the
senior class unloaded IL. moved Il
and set II up. While at work they
laid aside their cadet uniform and
worked In overalls
Major +. c. Bolton. head OF the de-

A GREAT OPENING.
Beginning OF Great Sale Put on by 4
J. Wagner 4 Co. Proved to Be
Of Great lnterest.

Thursday morning at $3.50 O'Clock
was the hour set for the opening OF
the great sale inaugurated by A. ].
Wagner a co. As a prelude to the
opening II had been advertised that a
five dollar gold piece would be given
away Ia front OF the store to the one
who could guess the lucky number
Also that ten dress patterns would be
given free TO the first ten ladies' en-
tering the store after the doors were
opened.
These two features proved to be
great drawing cards and large crowd
OF ladies' and some few men were on
hand TO see II luck would come their
way. The plan was this: A number
between naught and fifty was sealed
In an envelope and mailed To one OF
the Bryan banks from Dallas. This
was the lucky number and everybody
was invited 10 make a guess by writ
ing the number guessed with the
guessers name on slip OF paper and
dropping II in the contest box. The
first number drawn from the box that
corresponded 10 the number sent the
bank to win the five dollars. Col. A.
A. Farley was appointed to go TO the
bank for the number. open the envel-
cpe and hold u during the drawing.
The numbers were drawn from the
box by Mr.. W. C. Blick who Is here
putting on the sale. The crowd lis
tened eagerly as each number was
drawn and announced. and finally
number ''3i" was called and Col Far
ley declared IL the winner. I, was the
guess OF Master Durwood Cooper, the
little three year old son OF MIR. and
Mrs W. d. Cooper. who had come
down TO the opening with his mother.
The little fellow was given a shining
gold piece and he looked happy as Wis
ions Of candy and great piles of Christ
mas goodies" loomed before his Wis.
ion.
Immediately after the drawing. the
doors were thrown open and the
grand ''ceLter rush" began for the
free dress patterns In less time than
Il takes TO tell IL. ten ladies had en-
tered and secured the gifts and all
were delighted with the prizes won.
In a very short time the store was
filled with shoppers and the hundreds
of bargains offered were largely
sought for. The crowd was so great
that they could scarcely be waited on
Notwithstanding the fact that many
extra salespeople had been employed
All goods were marked In plain fix
ures which enabled the shoppers &c
select the goods wanted.
All day the store was crowded and
an immense business was done. Tn,
buyers we're well pleased with tn,
splendid bargains secured. and the
propriesors were pleased at the aus
picious opening which ushered IA
their great sale.
