RENO, May 1L—A sensation wasg§ created in social circles of the Univer- sity of Nevada to-day when it became known that Veda Mack, a student in the college, had eloped with Dell Mitch- ess, a young lather in this city. The young couple fearing that their parents would not give consent to their mar- riage, traveled to Ogden, where they were married. They then telegraphed the news home to their parents and asked forgiveness. Miss Mack is the daughter of O. H. Mack, a prominent attorney of the city. Her father states that he has sent for her and that the young people prob- ably will make their home in Reno. L e BABE IN ARMS DIES WHILE ITS MOTHER IS SHOPPING Succumbs to Diphtheria After Physi- cian Has Wrongly Diagnosed the Case. ST. PAUL, Minn., May 1l.—Annie the nine-months-old daughter of John Steinhauser, a farm- | back? er living near Mendota, died in her mother’s arms on Robert Street this afternoon. The child had been ill for some time and the parents brought her to town to consult a physician. The father said that the doctor had diagnosed the case as bowel trouble. They stopped to do some shopping before returning to their home, when Mrs. Steinhauser discovered to her horror that the child was dead. The Coroner was notified and orderéd a post mortem examination, which re- vealed the fact that the child had died of an attack of diphtheria. —————— DEATH ENDS MISERY OF NO’IED MAN’S SON Overdose of Morphhe Causes the Demise of Youth in Monterey. SALINAS, May 11.—Harry Cooley, son of the late Thomas McIntyre Cooley of the University of Michigan, who was a celebrated lawyer and au- thor, died at Monterey to-day. An overdose of morphine caused his death. ; The deceased was supposed by relatives ng a responsible Govern- ment position, while in reality he was a morphine fiend and a piano player in disreptutable plteu. smashing success!” So said every one of the hundreds trooped into the Marble hall of the Palace last night. There were maids and matrons from the land of Abou ben Adhem, throngs from the scented countries of the Nile, bands of luring Romany Ryes, “little foot” women from over the sea and dancing girls from the seraglios of Per- sia—lovely maids whose midnight eyes lured th: nimble nickel from the “easy.” Everywhere was there music, and music worth while. There might have been more had not. Jules Mersfelder—clever chap—been busy with his tom-toms in the Egyp~ tian -booth, wheze he ruled with a mighty hand as high priest of the tem- ple. The ballroom never was 80 gay—not even in the garb of the Greenway dance at Christmastide. At one end was the Egyptian temple, wherein Delroy presaged the future and presided over the mystic rites of the Far East; dancing maids with gar- lands encircled the Sphinx, who seemed to enjoy it—and small wonder. Who wouldn't? Then ‘there was the gipsy, the tea, the punch, the candy and the fioral booths, all manned beautifully by | bevies of stunning women. And such a mob of men!—and there will be more to-night, since ‘“‘change did prevali, as was promised, and no soliciting. These are the strong points of the festival, and points upon which the club deserves congratula- tion and emulation. In the Marble room a vaudeville show held a crowd for an hour with a narvelously planned programme. It was too good and held the crowd too long, so said the ballroom people. Here, above the babel, was heard the sweet soloist, Mrs, Thomas Nunan, as- sisted by Mr. N#ale on the flute, while in the temple Mrs. de los Magee .and J. M. Morgan sang in splendid style. The floral cotillon, composed of thir- ty-two little maids in the garb of flow- ers, was a fetching figure, which will be repeated to-night. Taken all in all, the first night of the festival was a stunning success, and was but a marker for what to-nlgh: will br}ng forth. TRUCKEE RIVER DAM OPPOSED Special Dispatch to The Call. RENO, May 11.—When the news that the United States Government intend- ed to build a large dam at the source of the Truckee, which is the only out- let of Lake Tahoe, reached the prop- erty owners around the lake, great consternation reigned.

D, May 11.—Led by a false prophet with lurid promises to South Africa, a number of South Dakota people are now stranded there. They have turned upon their leader, denouncing him as a faker, according to letters received from some of them to-day. The South Dakotans left the latter part of last November, induced to take this step by Harry Hendrickson, who claims to have learned by a vision that if dupes would sell all their worldly possessions and depart for South Africa the Lord would provide for them there. He also claimed to have received a warning that Chicago would sink into the bowels of the earth while the party was in midocean en route to South Africa. Letters received to-day from the crusaders tell that the promises of the" Lord providing for them have not been fulfilled; that the party is stranded in South Africa and its members are anxious to return to South Dakota if funds can be provided for the journey. Most of the men who participated in the exodus to South Africa were prosperous farmers. They took their wives and children with them. The Government may be cdlled upon to ald them in getting back to America.. —_————————— THIS LOOOHOBI!AE MAY GO m-nl;heflwwernndwm Less Than Any Car Now . in Use. ?
