Thsy were sent to a detention hospital on an island out from the city and there the father, sister and hired girl died. Mr. Larsen says in a biographical sketch which he himself prepared, that he was only seven years of age at the time. After being in the hospital for about two months, he and his brother recovered and then it was they learned of the death of the two girls. The entire family had thus been almost wiped out, three boys remaining, the brother who did not contract the disease having gone on to Utah with the company. jig at oclock, Hans the valiant light he about m up 1 after-igaking since Sunday dread malady the came peacefully te-en- t d that was the oculation of anti-toxiovercome so that the mus-jaw- s relaxed and practi-- r yesterday Mr. Larsen od close his mouth at will, so had been weakened d n r, by the terrible suffer-xpenence- and by the which had been to relieve th6 pain ac-iruin-hi- uome respite, that it evi-ra- t react.

The boys had been found by W. H. Miles, president of the Brooklyn branch of the Mormon church and given such assistance as was necessary and they found a home with kind people. The immigration officers found them and made ready to deport them to the old country, the boys having been taken to a hotel In New York and left in the lobby. The eldest went outside to slide on the ice leaving his younger brother in the hotel who was accosted by a man, whom he knew by the name of Jack Greenaway, who asked him where his brother was. Hans informed him and the man went outside but in a few minutes the brother came in and told Hans to put on his hat and coat and come out to slide which he did. Soon the boys were lost in the crowd and were then taken in charge by their friend who took them to Brooklyn and placed them in the hands of a kindly old lady. They were again found by the officers but their good foster mother refused to let them go. In order to prevent their deportation, the good lady hid the boys in the home of a neighbor and then suit was filed in the New York courts by the aforementioned W. H. Miles for the adoption of the orphans. The boys attended the trial which resulted in them being adopted by Mr. Miles. They remained In New York until 1868 and then started for Utah traveling by rail to Benton on the Platte river from whence they walked to Emigration canyon where they were met by a son of the family in whose company the boys traveled, and given a ride the balance of the way. The eldest of the two orphans remained in Wyoming to work on the railroad and the subject of this sketch entered Salt Lake City homeless and without friends. He intended to come on to Brigham City to join his brother but met a boy friend he had known in Brooklyn and decided to remain with him.While the boys were talking, the father of the other lad came along and vetoed their arrangements with the remark that he had all he could take care o' apd walked away leaving the little orphaned immigrant crying on the sidewalk. A good woman by the name of Pcrcher came along and upon learning of the condition of the lad, took him horns with her and gave him a comfortable home until he decided to come on to Brigham City in 1874, where he has since resided. anti-toxi- n ter on Monday and his terrific until late f night, when the relaxa-- 1 muscles begin.

Mr. Larsen then married his present wife, who was Sophia P. Sorensen, October 28, 1886 and to them have been born eight children. Mr. Larsen assisted in the organ leading figures in this city and county for a number of years. He was elected a city councilman in 1895, reelected in 1897 and again in 1907. In State Senator KD3 he was elected from the First Senatorial district, comprising Tooele and Box Elder counties and served with marked dis tinction one term in the legislature. In 1903 he went to Denmark as a missionary, spending two years in that service.

' But Just to All. THE OGDEN 11 y At 12 oclock on Monday next, what changes there will be in the city administration, will be made. Among the changes will be the stepping out of the Council of Messrs J. C. Freder-ickseand W. L. Holst who will be succeeded by Messrs O. G. Bargeron and John B. Mathias. Mr. Frederick sen has served a four year term and has served Brigham City well. He has been a consistent official, hard working and always interested in the citys affairs and during his incumbency has acquired a knowledge of the municipality's business that makes him a valuable officer who could have given better service had he been returned by the electorate of the city.Mr Holst has not served two years quite, he having been appointed by the present Council to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Mr. Sperry Law-son- . During his incumbency, however Mr. Holst has been on the job giving the best services in him to make Brigham City a bigger and better city. n The resignation of City Manager C. became effective yesterday and it is assumed that while he relinquishes the active management of the city he will not be altogether O Roskelly & The work of taking the census of the United States began this morning The enumerators in all the districts started out together and the work will be pushed to as early completion as possible. The census, besides taking a record of the population, will include manufacturing and other data which the government desires to make the work more complete. On Friday last. Director George Romney Jr. of the Second District, was in Brigham City and held a meeting with the enumerators appointed in Box Elder Co. in which he gave them their final instructions and good wishes for a successful campaign. The importance of Ogden, Utah, as a livestock center; its radiating lines of steam and electric railroads, its facilities for handling, shipping, feeding and marketing and enormous livestock traffic; the wealth invested in this great industry by Ogden residents 11 make it an ideal location for a great livestock exhibition, such as the coming Ogden Livestock Show. These various interests are all working toward making this the greatest exhibition of its kind ever held anywhere. Present indications are that it will reach this high standard. R. C. Evans of the Weber Club, assistant secretary of the Ogden Live sock Show, reports that enough entries are already in to assure the great success planned. Mr. Evans and the committees associated with him in the carrying out of the extensive plans of the backers of the enterprise will not be satisfied with a show of mediocre merit. Nothing but the best, and the greatest ever produced, is the standard set and the Show is being prepared along these lines. The opening day, January 8th, will see the plans complete and the full exhibit ready. The event will extend over three days Inquiries are numerous and to the point. Prospective exhibitors want to know the rules, they want a list of the prizes and special awards, they want to know how the judges will be chosen and why, they ask about each way and how many guests Ogden can accomodate. Most of these questions are fully answered in the booklet issued by the Ogden Livestock Show, a copy of which is sent each inquirer, together with any other information which he desires. Pros pective exhibitors write from the coast points as well as from contiguous states and the prospects are so favor able that when the entries close on January 1st the entire west will be represented at the Ogden Union Stock yards, where the big show will be CHINESE BECOME SOCIAL PIONEERS Men and Women Form Good Fel lowshio Club Together Under f.

VITALIZING EDUCATION Box Elder County will loose if it fails to procure the services of Dr. Hoi den, Dr. Winship and their party, who are making a most splendid campaign for the vitilizing of teaching in our public schools. Supt. Skidmore and principals C. E. Smith and Alf Freeman who spent a week recently in the work shop with these men, are very enthusiastic over the prospect of bringing them to this county. They can not do it alone. It will require the combined efforts of commercial clubs, churches and other organizations that are interested in the education, welfare of our children. The first mentioned, as well as the ladies who are in their party, are without question the most talented experts in the United States today. Why not call up Supt. Skidmore to see what you can do in order to help bring them to Box Elder County. P and Christianity, merchants, railroad and government officials compose the mens side of the room. The women are still a bit shy about talking In front of so many people, but many of them show signs of great executive ability and power of leadership.

He never even stopped to reason that he should have bought a seat some place from which he could have watched the end the end of the world. The police are looking for the celestial promoters who sold him the ticket. Are you buying a reserved seat for the end of the world? You are If you are not earning more than you spend. If you are not saving regularly something out of what you earn. You are buying a gold brick in life if you are living up to your Income, Just as surely as that Ohio man was victimized. The year 1920 is a brand new film, all rolled up and ready to start unwinding. The first show began at midnight Wednesday. You and your father and your mother and your brothers and your sisters and your wife and your children are on the film. What are you going to look like and what will be the comments of your friends as it unrolls. There are a lot of clowns and a lot of wise men in the show. Which are you? If you spend all you make, be sure you are a clown; if you save something from what you earn as the year unrolls day by day, you may feel sure you are playing the role of a wise staged.'
