800 FLEE SCARLET
FEVER AT UNIVERSITY
Homes After Deaths-Heroic
Young Nurse Dies.

Champaign, ILL.,, Feb. 27.-Despite
statements by the state board Of
health and local authorities that the
scarlet fever situation at the Univer-
sity Of Illinois was we'll in hand, 800
students fed to their homes Wednes-
day, many obeying the requests of
anxious parents.
Although no new cases were re-
ported in the student body, two deaths
carried panic to the university,
Champaign and Uubana. Miss Ona
Reno, young nurse in the Julia E.
Burnham Training school, died a mar
tyr to her work. Mrs. Harry l.. Lin
gren of Urbana, bride of six months,
was the other victim.
Warned that service in the isola-
ton ward was not mandatory and also
was dangerous, Miss Reno responded
by declaring that she wanted to vol
unteer. She was assigned to the care
of S. H. Carter, student from Prince
ton, who died last week.
Champaign physicians passed reso-
lutions reciting the heroic sacrifice
of the young woman. University stu
dents began to plan a memorial to
her.
E. A. Hardt, representing the state
board of health, said the board had
not even considered the idea of quar-
antining the twin cities, the situation
being we'll in hand. Dean Clark, chair
man of the university health commit
tee, issued a statement advising stu
dents to go to classes and not to go
home
Following a conference between
Mr.. Hardt and Champaign officials
and physicians, Mayor Dobbins or
dered all theaters and billiard rooms
closed. Urbana took similar action
and also shut its schools.
Prof. H. B. Ward was threatened
with arrest for going to his home,
which is in quarantine, to change
clothes. He declared he had taken
precautions under the advice OF a
physician.

away. To Florence it had the air OF
prank. She was beginning to have
such confidence in these two inventive
men that she felt as if she was never
going to be afraid any more.
When the Countess Olga saw the
three horses it was an effort not to
fly into a rage. But secretly she
warned her people, who presently gave
chase in the limousine, while she
prattled and TESTED and laughed with
her company, who were quite unaware
that drama was being enacted right
under their very noses. The countess,
while she acted superbly, tore her
handkerchief into shreds. There was
something sinister in the way all
their plans fell through at the very
! moment Of contamination; and that
night she determined to ask Braine
to withdraw from this warfare, which
gradually decimated their numbers
without getting anywhere toward the
goal.
Jones shouted that the limousine
was tearing down the road, Some
thing must be done to stop it. He
suggested that he drop behind, leave
his horse, and take a chance at pot
ting tire from the shrubbery at the
roadside.
