What California Business College
Is Doing


California Business College, in San
Francisco, is putting bigger brains,
more intense energy, and higher
enthuiasm into its teaching, giving
its students more personal and SYM
pathetic attention; looking more
carefully after their moral and ply
sical welfare; and pushing more
rapidly to the front rank of the great
business colleges of the country than
any other College in the West. The
remarkable success of this college,
having grown from one student to
over $50 in six years, is ample proof
of the truth of the above rather strong
claims made for it. 1t is not the only
business college in San Francisco, but
it is the only one of its kind, and that
kind is so different from, and so
superior to, the traditional business
college that there is no comparison.
Parents should see this great college,
so beautifully located in the finest
residence portion of the city entirely
removed from the noise, strife and
temptations of the city, with it's $4,000
square feet of floor surface all divided
off with glass partitions SO that one
can stand in the centre and see
throughout the whole school, before
they ever send their children ITO any
other business college. A visit there
will be constant surprise and
pleasure.

DEATH OF
AGNES HARVEY

Miss Agnes Lucille Harvey, the Is
year old daughter of B. Harvey of
Diamond valley, after lingering
illness, passed away at the University
hospital, Reno Nevada, last Saturday
morning at s o'clock.
Miss Harvey was born at Marklee-
vile, Cal, December 2s, 1885, When
she was about year old her parents
moved to Diamond valley where they
still reside. She grew to womanhood
at her perennial home, attending the
public school at Woodfords until
about three years ago she came to
Gardnerville and entered the high
school attending little more than a
term when shen she entered the Uni
versity at Reno, successfully passing
the first term. At the beginning of
the present the first term at the
University she entered the Freshmen
class. She always ranked well in her
work at the University and enjoyed
the confidence of her class mates and
teachers.
She leaves a grief stricken father
and mother, sister, Mrs. G. G. Rich
ards of Lewiston, Idaho, and three
brothers and a sister at home.
The Student Record published at
University thus speaks of Miss Har-
vey:
Agnes Harvey was favorite in the
University of Nevada. Her charit-
able, kind and benevolent disposition
supported by an indomitable will,
which in the darkest hours and un-
der the most trying conditions, never
knew the word fail, won for her the
confidence and esteem of every stud
ent in the university. Her cheerful
disposition which reigned supreme in
all her undertakings, and especially
so in her victorious battle for an
education was sublime inspiration to
her many associates.
Her noble life and effort while
t'i iiihdNihH iN Aht hSOiddyS III iii'
sweetest hours of gracious woman
hood, will ever remain branded upon
the hearts of Nevads Nevada students
as sparkling fountain out of which
flowed the elevating principles of de
termination, courage and all that
stands for good and right. But a
bright light, an associate and a friend
has left us. All that now remains is
the tenement of clay, the earthly tab
ernacle, the foresaken home of a
beautiful soul. The spirit flown
into the voiceless unseen eternities.
That kind face has gone forever. The
entire University mourns. Almost in
her last hours and while in a state OF
semi-consciousness, she called her
mother TO her bedside and said:
Mother, there is some beautiful mus
ic somewhere: hear it, 1t was the
music of the band at guardmount.
Rev. Pardee preached the beautiful
euology of the Methodist church.

ly residence Tuesday. lnterment III

Some small boys, on mischief bent,
tied a wire across the side walk lead
ing to the Record-Courier Office, ex-
pecting to have some fun at seeing
someone go headlong on the walk.
Such tricks might be great fun for the
small boy but does he realize that in
having his fun he might at the same
time be the cause of crippling some
innocent person for the remainder OF
his life. Think of the consequences
when you practice tricks of this kind.

aud lately, by some eruption, has
sprung a leak from the gulf, ard
is filling up at the rate of six
inches per day.
Thousands of Mexicans are at
work day and night laying a rail-
road track on the sand, the old
roadbed being quarter Of mile
in the sea and from ten to twenty
feet under water. If the sea fills
up, it will be necessary for
the railroad to build thru the
mountains. We next came to FL
Paso, Texas, an old city contain.
ing many Mexicaus, and nearly
half of the buildings are adobe
houses.
We then crossed the Rio Grande
river into Old Mexico, and no
sooner had we crossed the
line than we were stopped bv
custom officers, who searched our
grips, but got no revenue. We took
in the city of Mexico, including
the old, old cathedral, which his
tory says was erected some three
thousand years ago. 1t contained
no chairs or pews, the congrega-
ton sitting around on the floor;
old Bible paintings hung around
the walls and candles burning on
the old altar night and day.
Coming back into Texas again,
we crossed over the highest bridge
in the world, and proceeded to San
Antonio. This historical old city
now has a population of 10000
souls, and no spot in the south
has such a romantic and inspiring
history as quaint, picturesque old
San Antonio. 1t was settled in
1859 and to the present date,
eight different flags have tlOated
over it. In its boundaries are the

sions erected in 1874
No American can look on the
old Alimo without thinking of the
one hundred aud lightweight Tex
ans with Their immortal Crockett,
Bowie and Travis. who held it for
such siege against owe whelming
numbers. 1t represents Il most
desperate aud heroic struggle for
principle and liberty. asked our
guide how the garrison could dis
charge their pieces at the enemy,
there being no windows or port
holes. and he told me that shortly
before the butlle, the roof, being
of adobe, had fallen in, aud stand
ing on the debris the Americans
could shoot over the walls and
draw back again before the
MeXicanS could +, turn their fire.
Thus they stood off Santa AEna
aud his army for long time, and
before the last great struggle
came, sent out one of their men
for mid. In several days the mes
scuSrr returned and reported no
troops near enough to help them,
and died with his comrades in
defense Of the fort. When pro-
visions and ammunition gave ont,
the Mexicans charged, and the
massacre commenced. History
tells us that the handful of Texans
used the butts Of their guns and
filled the building with dead Mex.
leans, as they themselves were
killed.
1t makes any true American
shuddrr to see and study this old
death trap.

some time; then lie said politely, but
icily:

needless to say which speaker received
attention after that.
