Met with Mishap
While Homer H. Lawton was re
turning from a visit to Elmwood,
where he and the family were en
joying the band concert at that place,
and were crossing the bridge near
the Vanderberg home, they heard
something fall from their car and
stopping to secure it, they backed
their car slightly when the truck of
Mr. Reeder came behind from the
south and it, being down hill and the
truck loaded, it was well nigh impos
sible to stop before crashing into the
ear. The driver turned his truck to
the side of the road in order to avoid
the collision, with the result that the
truck was precipitated into the creek
with some damage to the truck and
the load of cattle which it was con
veying to market.

Two Gardens of the Bible
VII GETHSEMANE
Jesus, the Redeemer Types of the
Christ in the Old Testament. (1) The
(Political Advcrtuins)
R TMENT.
Lamb of the Passover (a) without!
blemish, perfect; (b) a year old, in
the strength of youth; (c) a male,
denoting power. (2) The Lamb slain
as seen by Isaiah 53:7, "as a lamb
brought to the slaughter;" also seen
in Rev. 5:6, "stood a lamb as it had
been slain" and by his sacrificial
death "hath redeemed us unto God
by his blood." (3) Seen by John the
Baptist, as he cries (John 1:29),
"Behold the Lamb of God, which
taketh away the sin of the world."
This was typified in the feast of
Atonement (Liv. 16:7-10) the scape
goat. (4) Jesus was without sin.
(John S:46). "Which of you con
vinced me of sin?" He never yield
ed to temptation, although "He was
tempted in all points like as we are,
yet without sin. (Heb. 4:15.) (5)
The brazen serpent. (Num. 21:9.) Sin
was brought into the world by the
serpent; the antidote is the lifted up
Christ. (John 3:14-17) "My faith
looks up to thee." (6) A perfect man
could redeem sinful men. Jesus
Christ was perfect. "God made the
captain of our salvation perfect thru
suffering." (Heb. 2:10.) Though he
were a son, yet learned he obeuience
by the things which he suffered and
being made perfect, he became the
author of eternal salvation unto all
that obey him." (Hob. 5:S. ) "And
the third day I shall be perfected"
after his resurrection (Luke. 13:32.)
(7) By tho full surrender to the will
of God in Gethsemane when Jesus
said, "I drink it." (Math. 2G:42.)
When the struggle became so fierce
that "His sweat was as it were great
drops of blood falling to the ground."
(Luc. 24:44.) By the complete sur
render of his will to the will of the
Father "We are satisfied through the
offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all." (Heb. 10:10.) (8) As
High Priest, typified by Melchesidek.
(Hcb. 7:1.) The Livitical priesthood
was not pertect, hence God annulled
the old form (Heb. 7:1S) and brought
in a new order of things. The law
made nothing perfect, but the bring
ing in of a better hope did." (Hob.
7:19.) The new order is unchange
able. (Heb. 7:24.) Jesus Christ, as
High Priest, entered into the Holy of
Holies, not with the blood of goats
or calves, "but with his own blood
he entered in once into the holy place,
having obtained eternal redemption
for us." (Heb. 9:12.) For such an
High Priest became us, who is holy,
harmless, undented, separate from
sinners, and made higher than the
heavens." (Heb. 7:26.) Jesus paid
it all; believing on his name inspires
hope and by this hope "we have an
anchor for the soul, both sure and
steadfast, and which entered into
that within the veil." (Heb. 6:19.)
All this work of Jesus Christ was
wrought in that midnight hour of
which the four gospels speak: Matt.
26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:-31-4
6; John IS: 1-2.
Of this hour Jesus could truly say,
' But this i3 your hour and the pow
er of darkness." (Luke 22:53.) In
this hour all the fury of hell was
concentrated on Jesus Christ. In this
hour he craved human sympathy,
asking the three disciples to watch
with him.
Suffering in spirit as, he did. "He
offered up prayers and supplications
with strong crying and tears unto
Him that was able to save him from
death." (Heb. 5:7.) Here he gave
up his life, satisfying the demands of
the law. Nov.- God can pardon the
sinner, who accepts Jesus Christ as
his Savior, since God accepted the
sacrifice of hi3 Son for the sins of
the world. God is reconciled: man
is restored to the favor of God.
Therefore, being justified by faith,
we have peace with God, through our
Lord. Jesus Christ." (Rev. 5:1).
What a marvelous change! God
reconciling the world to himself.
"God so loved the world that he gave
up His Son."
It was in a garden Eden that
man lost paradise; it was in a gar
den Gethsemane that paradise was
regained. (The End.)

ing all these years he took an active
part in the affairs of the commun
ity. Hp saw it develop from the raw
prairie stages into its present pros
perous condition and his going takes

Roads Ordered
to Cut Charges
from the West
General Reduction to Principal Sea
ports in Effect October 1
Aids Nebraska Territory
Washington A general reduction
in grain rates thruout western terri
tory to principal seaports was order
ed Friday by the interstate com
merce commission, to become effec
tive Oct. 1. Members cf the commis
sion estimated the application of the
new schedules would reduce earn
ings of western railroads by $15,
000,000 or more per annum, but that
some of this had beeu compensated
for by recently granted increases in
classified freight rates.
A new method of making sched
ules, described as "the rate brerk
basis" was prescribed for the rail
roads to follow. This rate form was
sought by the business interests of
nearly all the great western pri
mary grain market cities. Under the
new system one rate will apply on
wheat, and other grain and grain
products such as flour and meal. The
commission considered proposals to
establish a system cf export rsU'S
definitely lower than the schedules
applying to domestic shipments, but
rejected it and left the present rela
tionship between export and domestic
rates substantially unchanged.
Some Wheat Hates Higher.
While on the whole substantial
reductions are expected to result
from the application of the decision,
some wheat rates from North Da
kota were increased, as were rates on
other types cf grain from North Da
kota and Minnesota to principal mar
kets. The findings were entered at the
conclusion of a special investigation
instituted after the ndopiion of the
Hock-Smith congressional resolution
ordering the commission to apply
the lowest rates to products of agri
culture affected by depression, but
the decision was careful to state that
its findings resulted from an en
deavor to perform its general duty
of prescribing reasonable rates. It
added that the exsct consequence;
of its new schedules were imps"ibl-
to foretell in advance, and that in
the light of increased revenues al
ready granted in certain other oases"
to western railroads the grain reduc
tions "will not threaten the main
tenance of an ade-iuate system of
transportation."
Schedules Aro Complex.
In view of the general commer
cial practice of shinning grain on
transit arrangements, by which they
are converted into hour or meal vvnile1
technically moving under a single
rate, the rate schedules provided
were extraordinarily complex.
In considering the rejection of the
proposal to place export freight rates
on wheat and products at points 15
per cent or more lower than domestic
rates for the same movement. Com
missioner Lwis. with the concur
rence cf Commissioner Tate, argued
that the position of the nation as a
"surplus producer of grain, particu
larJv wheat," required this.
Notwithstanding, he said, the
"more equitable ratf structure"
created by the finding cf th com
mission majority deserved support,
tho he add' d that "a survev of spe
cific rates reveals cuts of 20, HO, 50
or even CO percent in the present
charges," which would bear severely
on "some of the carriers which are
not at this time in a position to stand
such reductions."
Specific Rates Announced.
Fixing specific export rates the
order prescribed 2? cents per hun
dred pounds from Kansas City r.nd
Omaha to Montreal against a pres
ent rate cf 31 A cents; to Baltimore
from Omaha and Kansas City a rate
of 21 cents against present rates of
"8: from Omaha to New Orleans
the present rate ot 24.5 cents was
made 27 cents; and from Kansas City
to the same destination the prepnt
rate of 23.5 will become 21; fr--m
St. Louis to Baltimore the new rnto
will be 22 cents against Orleans 14
cetns against a present rate of 11;
Chicago to Baltimore will become
1C cents against 21; from contra?
Illinois to Baltimore will broom
27.5 cents against "2.5 now cdmrged:
and to New Orleans the new rate will
be 25.5 against 22.5 cents.
No orders were entered in refer
ence to grain shipment -i from the
l"ke boats via Buffalo to north At
lantic ports for export. From Mon
tana territory export and domestic
rates on wheat were left at identical
levels.
Some cf th; New Figures.
Some of the specific new rates in
more important wheat producing
and handling territory as compared
with existing schedules were laid
down by the decisions as follows:
To Minneapolis from Sioux City
S.5 cents against 16.5; from Omaha
11.5 cents against 1G.5; from Kansas
City 15.5 cents against 17.5.
To Chicago from Minneapolis 11
cents against 13; from Sioux City
15 cents against 17.5; from Omaha

cents against 3.5; and from Kansas
City 9 cents against 13.5.
To Memphis from Kansas City 16
cents against 24; from St. Louis 9
cents against 11.5.

against a present charge of 23.5:

points the new rate was fixed at 27
cents against the present rate of
24.5.
Frcm Colorado to the Missouri
river a general figure cf 2 8 cents
was fixed for grain shipment; as
compared with the existing charge
of 33 cents.
To Chicago from Iowa grain rates
were altered only in minute degree,
both increases and reductions re
sulting, and the same was true of
Iowa shipments to Minneapolis, tho
a number of reuuctions in lowa gram
rates to Omaha, St. Louis and Kan

between 5 and 10 percent of pres-
nt schedules.

lat Tuesday to look after some busi-n-s5
matters which means more
goods for the store.
Herman Rauth threshed and de
livered his small grain during the
past week and is now ready for the
later summer farming work.
Herman Dall and the family were
looking after some business matters
at Murdock for a short time on last
Wednesday, they driving over in
their auto.
Andrew Schliefert and wife were
over to Omaha on last Monday even
ing, wherj they enjoyed the show
v.hkb is put on under the auspices
of the Ak-Sar-Ben.
Fred Flaischnian and the good
wife were over to Omaha on last
Mr-".day evening, whore they attend
ed the play incident to the amuse
ment nights which the Ak-Sar-Ben
sets aside for residents of the differ
ent counties.
Among those attending the show
at tho Ak-Sr.r-Ben den at Omaha on
last Monday evening were Rudolph
rergman and wife. A. Steinkamp,
Joseph Wclpert, Harold Krecklow,
Verne Rockwell, Walter O'Brien and
wife. George ar.el Henry Vogler, Ted
dy Harris. Oris and Arnold Sehli'
fert, Eli Keckler, William, John and
Joe Sc heehan.
Art is long aiid time is fleeting, ;;s
wa;. proved that the motion of the
hand is qui ker than the eye. for at
the Ak-Sar-Ben there was arranged a
?(reen which was almost invisible,
but still there just the same, and
when one walked into it, there was
something doing. Anyhow, a coup
le of the visitors from Manley are
minus a piece of skin from th ir
noses because they did not see the
screen in time.
Threshing is nearly completed in
this vicinity with fair returns no
exceedingly large yields reported and
ro very small ones just a good, sat
isfactory yield from most fields. The
rain of last Sunday caused a heavy
selling of the reserve corn and con
sequently good receipts were in order
for a da- or two. While there are
still a few lots of corn in the farm
ers' hands, the amount of old crop
ren.aining in the country is small,
and v. ill probably be put onto the
market pretty slowly from now on.
Award Contract fcr School
T. J. Jamison, of Lincoln, the sue
cessful bidden on the erection of the
new school building in Manley. was
here a few days ago and entered in
to a contract with the Manley lumber

Murtey. and managed by John Crane,
for furnishing the material used in
the erection of the building.
The school board is contemplating
the purchase of some more land for
school grounds, but nothing definite
has been done as yet.
Many Attend Ak-Sar-Ben
There was a large crowd from
Manley at the den at Omaha on last
Monday evening, with some eighty
tickets provided in the beginning,
and still a demand when all were
gone. It looks like the Ak-Sar-Ben
has no cause to complain the way
Manley and vicinity treated them.
There were many who were there
with their wives as the practice of
entertaining the ladies was institut
ed with thi3 year.

While Herman Dall was returning

rince been feeling pretty sore from
the numerous bruises and sprains
which he sustained.

At the Manley ball park on last
Sunday was gathered a goodly num
ber of the Manley baseball fans and
sure nearly everyone here is a dyed-in-the-wool
baseball fan, for the pur
pose of enjoying the very fine game
which was played between Manley
and Louisville. The game was won
by the visitors by their very fine
playing and a slight mistage which
was made by a few of the home team

and it may be different. Play ball
and be happy.
