On Thursday she gave birth to a still born baby and she was suffering with influenza at the time. Pneumonia developed quickly and her weakened body was unable to resist the disease. Mrs. Keller was the wife of E. R. Keller, and the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George W. Stokes of this city. She was born at Perry on July 19, 1891, but has resided in Brigham t ity the greater part of her life. She married Mr. Keller in October, last year. She had previously been married and has a son, who is now eight fears of age, by her first husband. A sad coincidence in the passing of Mrs. Keller was the death of her sisters husband on Friday at Ogden, the late Paul Pruitt. Universal sympathy goes out to the family in their hour of sadness.

The passing of Miss Thompson Just two weeks after the death of her father, makes the socond case in this city where more than one number of a family has been claimed by the dread disease and the blow falls heavily upon the beraved mother and other chil dren. Miss Thompson was born in this city on the 12th day of November 1S9X Site was the second daughter In her mothers family and was one of the graduates of the Box Elder High School last year. Sho possessed a beautiful temperament and was most ambitious having a determination to become self supporting in life. To that end she registered at the University of li tah at the beginning of the prosent school year and came home when the schools closed on account of tiie prevalence of influenza. She became more or less acquainted with the public by reason of her associations with the Brigham City Pharmacy as one of the clerks. She was a favorite among her companions and a beautiful young lady. On Friday she was taken to the emergency hospital suffering with pneumonia and everything has been done to defeat the purpose of the dread malady without avail. Miss Thompson resisted bravely as long as her strength lasted and was conscious to the last. Funeral services will be held at the cemetery tomorrow at 2 o'clock. Universal sympathy goes out to Mrs. Thompson and her family in this sad hour. While assisting her daughter to pre-pa- r Sunday dinner a week ago, Mrs. G. II.

All the men come from class one of the 61. hekhtifI thong What Do You Think Is My Share? the mayor and city council and members of the city board of health was held on Saturday evening last for the purpose of discussing and formulating more drastic rules and regulations for the control of the present epidemic that is gripping this community and thking away so many of its splendid citizens. The authorities were of one mind that the situation must be taken hold of vigorously if the progress of the disease is arrested and human lives are saved and to that end the following regulations were unanimously adopted and Mayor Peters was authorized to announce them to the general public: To the Citizens of Brigham City: The time has come when it is absolutely necessary to adopt more drastic measures in combatting the dreaded malady that is gripping our community. In addition to the 11 deaths that have already occured there are now more than 225 reported victims of this treacherous disease and there is reason to believe that this number is low. It is evident to those who are handing the health problem in our city that there is woeful lack of precaution on the part of many of our citizens. That Spanish Influenza is the most dangerous and trecherous desease that ever ous and treacherous desease that ever visited our community ought by this time to be apparent to everyone. That no word or act should be spared in the fight to successfully stamp it out ought, too, to be apparent. Our city of homes measures its wealth in its splendid citizenship and we should seriously feel that the loss of even one life is an utterly irreparable one. No citizen will, therefore, regard compliance to any regulation, however sever it may appear, as being in any way a sacrifice. With a view of more speedily getting control of the terrible situation that confronts us the following regulations must in future be strictly observed: 1. Any person who has had Spanish Influenza must remain at home at least ten days after the disease had left him. The peace officers have been instructed to handle severely violators of this order. 2. Every house where the contagion exists will be placearded. 3. Having positive proof that many cases have resulted directly from at funerals it is the decision that only the immediate relatives attend such gatherings and that the enire services be held no longer than 15 minutes. Indifference to this requirement will without doubt result in an order from the Board of Health absolutely prohibiting services of any kind and allowing only the hearse to convey the remains to the cemetery. 4. Visiting is prohibited. Any unm-be- r of cases is directly traceable to this now vicious practice. 5. Every person is asked to watch his neighbor. It is a patriotic duty to advise the officers of sickness wherever you know it exists. 6. It is a safe assumption that your Influenza. indisposition is Spanish Since it is physically impossible for two available physlcans to call at once and diagnose your every ailment, remain at home until you are reached. Under no circumstance leave your home until a physician has been consulted. Finally it is insisted that every citizen subscribe and adhere heartily not only to the above requirement but to any others that may be issued by the Board of Health and in addition exercise and observe the most scrupulous care and diligence. Only by such diligence are we going to escape the most serious consequences. I am giving herein the combined decision of the City Council of Brigham City and our matchless Board of Health. JOHN W. PETERS. Mayor. NUMBER WILL LEAVE FOR JEASK5 A special meeting of ihe emergency hospital In Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Ella wife of Dan W. Rees of Harassed away after suffering but ays with pneumonia.
