In placing his lips to those of
the child, and SO saving its life,
the doctor, with full knowledge of
what he was doing, sealed his
own death warrant. He was suf-

bronchial tubes were higly inham-

students why he had not let the

Plain Enough.
WHAT THEIR DUTIES ARE.

"Every patriotic and honest
citizen must admit that all the
laws on the statute books should
be obeyed and enforced. What /
sny about obedience to and en-
forcement of law is especially ap-
plicable to the Sunday laws. They
were enacted by tie wisdom Of
past generations to advance to n
higher degree Christian civiliza-
tion. The village, county, com
munity, city, state or people that
disobeys the Divine law of the
Sabbath, which makes it day of
rest and worship, fails to realize
the teachings and commands of
the Almighty. From Governor

Mr.. John p. Spahr was born near
Somerset, Perry county, Ohio Feb
ruary Z, 1919 and died February s
1906 at the age of 81 years and l
day. When only child he was
taken by his parents to Pittsburg,
Pa. where his childhood and youth
were spent. Here he had splendid
educational and other advantages.
In early manhood he returned to
his native state and began life for
himself, as merchant tailor, in
West Rushville.
On May A, 1871 he was married
to Miss Jane Yanaway. Three
daughters, who are still living, were
given to them, Mrs. Mary Stetson
of Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. j. 7. Sar-
derson of Logan, Ohio and Mrs.

Soon after his marriage Mr.. Spahr

Jacksonville, Coolville Seminary

erson and jamestown. AS stu
dent and disciplinarian he was EN-
inently qualified to teach. Foi
many years he held life certificate
from the State Board in Ohio.
Desiring to retire from the respon
sibilities of teaching he moved west
and settled on farm near Martins
vile, Ill. Farming, however, was
not his occupation, and he sooI
had charge OF the school in Martins
Vile. On Feb. II, 1880 he suffered
the first great sorrow of his life il
the death of his devoted wife.
Before the sad event occurred hi
soninlaw Mr.. ], II. Sanderson hal
moved to the same town, Martins
vile H., and opened up harnes
store. In his loneliness Mr.. Spah
joined eompanionship in the stor
and spent many of his leisure hour
there. He soon began to oconp
his time in the little duties abtu
the store and finally learned tn
business and bought the store an
remained there after the daughte
and family had returned to Logan
In September 1884, for his sec
ond wife, he was married to Mis-
