The doctor was born on a farm some half dozen miles west of Murray on Aug ust 20, 1SG7, and attended schools in the country until he had outgrown them and then went to the state normal at Teru, after which he en gaged in teaching, being an instruc tor at Columbus for one year, in 1S90, when he concluded he would enter the life of a physician and so went to the Rush medical college, from which he graduated in 181)5 and immediately entered practice in Murray, having been here ever since with the exception of one year when he was with the American Expedi tionary forces in France. Dr. Gilmore was a son of Mr. and Mrs. John Gilmore, who came to Ne braska in 1S54, some thirteen years before the birth of the doctor. The parents were of the 260 who first came to Nebraska, landing near Rock Bluffs on a raft, which they had constructed on the other side of the river. Dr. Gilmore was united in mar riage to Miss Bessie Walker on May 25. 1S91. and from this union three children were born, Walker Gilmore, who is just about to complete his course in medicine Helen, who pass ed away from an attack of diphther ia in 1920, and a most amiable young lady whose loss her parents have never fully recovered from, and John Gilmore, the youngest, who is at this time about ten years of age and a rustler.

August IS. There Is no necessity for the general pub- j lie to become excited about unpatrio !tic propaganda seeping into the pub ! iic schools of the United States, de clared Milton Fairchild. chairman of j the character education institution. I recently in a reply to a letter sent j out by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook, president-general of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Mrs. Cook warned state regents of her organization against the "ac 'tivlties of those who are knowingly land deliberately disloyal to our gov ernment and our political institu tions, but Mr. Fairchild asserted that the school authorities were com petent to handle the situation, and ithat it was impossible for disloyal activities or propaganda to get a start In the schools. "The hoards of education," he said, '"are made up of trustworthy .citizens, superintendents and super I visors over the body of teachers." In her letter Mrs. Cook said the .'youth movement" aimed at the heart of "our most sacred and moral j foundations and will, if promulgated in our secondard schools and eol , loges, aim to destroy the moral fibre of our girls and boys." Pacifist groups, she declared?, "have even j:ivaded our schools with their doc itrines. Indeed, one group has a j widely advertised set of illustrated i 'school literature,' especially devised j for its purpose and comments in its 'circular upon its success and popu larity. The Daughters of the Amer ican Revolution mean to oppose with all the vigor and strength of their beings any individual or groups of individuals who would substitute for our great institutions of govern ment untried theories and danger ous communist doctrines." Mr. Fairchild, in his answer, sets forth that he personally interviewed Mrs. Cook and others, asking for the sources of their information. These had been given, but upon investiga-l tion they were found to "have no re- liable detailed information." He' said he proposed to Mrs. Cook's or-1 ganization and others that it' they j would furnish positive information, ' it .would be put in the hands of: school authorities. j Miss Anna Heisel was a visitor in ! Omaha today, where she spent a few hours visiting with friends and looking after some matters of business. "THE UNPARDON ABLE SIN" IS SUB JECT OF SERMON Evangelist Robb Gives Very Inter esting Sermon at Christian Church Last Evening. From Thursday's Dally A church almost completely filled greeted the evangelist last evening when he began his discussion of his subject as had been previously ad vertised. "The Unpardonable Sin." The night had been set apart as the one night in which the Christian church of Louisville would be espe cially recognized by the reason of their attendance in a body. The night was very warm and constant waving of fans gave evidence that these folks from the city of Louis ville had shown considerable zeal and courage in coming through the heat to the revival meetings. Twen tyfive were present from the Louis ville church and the pastor of the locsl church bad them stand on their feet while an ovation of hand-clap-' ping gave manifestation of the ap preciation that their attendance cre ated. ' The choir and congregation sang as if the intense heat was but a thing of imagination instead of be ing real. The evangelist prepared for the reception of his message by, having those present listen to Scrip-j tural reading from the 12th chap- ter of the Gospel according to Matth-; ew from the 22r.d to the 37th verses inclusive. The evangelist opened with a general discussion of the groat subject of the Holy Spirit but made no effort to discuss at length the great divisions of the subject, ' such as the baptism of the Holy Spir-! it, the work or operation of the Holy, Spirit, the Holy Spirit in conversion, the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, the personality of the Holy Spirit! and the witness of the Holy Spirit,; but dealt at some length with the sin or blasphemy against the Holy, Spirit. The evangelist emphasized; that the Scriptures say what they; mean, and mean what they say, rela-j tive to this great subject as well asi the other groat themes of the Bible.! He further asserted that many are confused because that the Scriptures, teach a greater offense is committed when evil is spoken against the Holy I Spirit than when such is said arain3t either God or the Son. Jesus Christ. Thin h?i lead many to suppose that the Holy Spirit is of greater import-j acoe than either God or the Christ. J i nis nc pointeu out was an incorrect conclusion but that sin against the Holy Spirit constituted a greater of fense in that in sinning against the Holy Spirit one is sinning against oir.piete lint. therefore sinning; r gainst God the Father, Christ the Son. and the Holy Spirit, th. third permn in the Godhead. He further stated that any sin persisted in un til death is an unpardonable ln but not the unpardonable sin. No the ory is true that destroys the free r.efncy of man. was another of the evaneiist's assertions. If man com mits this sin it is because he shuts the door of hope in his own face and not because God would not will ingly receive him if he would but CO .ne to Him. Very great concentration of at tention was given the evanelist ss he discoursed upon this great subject. The results of the service were splen did in that two responded to the in vitation and came forward to place their membership with the Platts mouth church when the appeal was, made to them by the evangelist and by the singing ty the choir, "Lord.) I'n Coming Home." j In very brief but solemnly impres-j ive services baptism by immersion I v.f.s then observed or three of thej number who have lately confessed their fnith in Christ. ' Tonieht the subject for discussion! i? "Pitching One's Tent Toward So-j doTB." The Plattsmouth folks have) learned that they are well repaid for. their attendance at the revival meet-j ings In that tive evangelist is always j thoroughly familiar with his subject.' Undoubtedly toniht he will again' demonstrate his ability to instruct' In the ways of rihteousnepg. DAVIS CONSIDERS in h3 Readjustment of Freight Rate Struc ture An Essential Step Is Urged to Visit the West. Locust Valley. N. Y., Ausr. IS. Readjustment of the freight rate structure and the full use of the ma chinery of the department of agri culture in stimulating the co-operative marketing movement, are re garded by John W. Davis as two es sential steps in the relief of the agri-j cultural industry. In outlining his views on the ques tion to his friends, the democratic nominee for president has told them he regarded the use of existing gov ernment agencies in aiding the farm ers to market their own products as cf more practical value than might be the setting up of new agencies un der legislation recently proposed, such as the MeNary-Haugen hill. A s to freight rate reconstruction, he has expressed the view that aid for the farmer in this direction ought to be possible without impairment of the railroads. He believes that the freight rate structure should be flexible enough to meet the economic conditions. Clem L. Shaver, Mr. Davis, cam paign manager, telegraphed the nom inee today urging that he visit the middlewest in September. Mr. Shav er, who has been at the western headquarters in Chiago. fent a very optimistic report cn the outlook there and supplempnted his wire message by a telephone call. After hie Labor day address, the place for the delivery of which re mains unsettled, Mr. Davis will begin a long trek, which will carry him well into the western territory. He will make only a "one night stand," during his visit to Ohio, returning here after speaking at Columbus. At Seagrlt, N. J., next Friday the nominee expects to make what his friends describe as a "twenty min ute speech" at a mass meeting of New Jersey democrats. "Before that he will speak briefly to the 6tate democratic executive committee at a luncheon. ADVISES LA F0LLETTE MEN K. C. Knudson. appointed by Gov ernor Bryan to be secretary of the department of trade and commerce, considers the governor's speech of ac ceptance a masterpiece. Mr. Knud son was formerly connected with the pro restive pnrty organization. Mr. Knudson said: "The La Follette and Wheeler fol lowers would do well to thoroughly acquaint themselves before they vote with the democratic platform, with John W. Davis and C. W. Bryan, for a division of the progressive voters m!ht prove disastrous to the pro gressive cause. "While attending the New York convention and before John W. Davis was considered as an active candi date for president of the United States. I had the pleasure of convers ing with hin concerning the finan cial conditions of our state. I found much the er.no idea and thoughts as outlined by Governor Bryan in his speech of acceptance." SETUR2TS FROI-I VACATION From Thursday's Dally Rev. H. Kottich, the genial pastor of the St. Paul's Evangelical church, returned yesterday from his vacation in the east and is feeding very much refreshed by his rst and enters into the work of the church with renewed vigor and the members of the congre gation were much pleased yesterday to greet the pastor on his return.
