Damage Action Brought in Otoe Switched to Cass Request for a Change of Venue Is Sustained by District Judge D. W. Livingston. Another case was striken from the list for trial in the September Jury term of Otoe county district court Monday when District Judge I. W. Livingston sustained a mo tion for a change of venue in the damage suit brought by Verner Mer l.el against Richard Glassmeyer. As a rosult of the ruling the case, in which Markel seeks to recover damages from Glassmeyer for injuries allegedly inflicted upon his wife dur ing an altercation, will be tried In Cass county. Dy sustaining the motion Judge Livingston held, in effect that wide publicity given two previous trials brought by Mrs. Market in The Ne braska City News-Press was sufficient grounds and may have biased and prejudiced citizens who might be Bible School Sunday. September 29th "John (The Minister and His People)" Third Chapter John. A study of John's life and activi ties is too much for one lesson; hence only the high spots may be teHOhed. There are four men In the New Tes tament by that name. Who were they? Our subject for study is John the son of Zebedee and Salome; born in r near the city of Bathsaida, also the birthplace of Andrew, Peter and Philip. John's occupation was that of a fisherman. The parents were well to do, and employed a number of men. To Salome John owed his impressive nature; she was a woman capable of enthusiasm and deep devotion, with an earnest, aggressive character that was reflected in John, who possessed an intensity and passion of nature that caused him to be absorbed in the object of his love and loyalty. Ileing first a disciple of John the Bapist, he was later called to be a follower of Christ but he never for got the cry of the Baptist: "Behold the Limb of God." He belonged to the inner circle of the twelve Peter, James, John especial witnesses of Jesus' power over death (Jarius daughter); of his transfiguration, and his deepest agony (Gethsemane). John was the only one of the twelve who remained at the cross and saw Jesus die; to him did the Saviour en trust his mother. On three occasions do we find John in a rather unfavorable light; when Jesus rebuked him for his attitude towards one who was casting out demons (Mark 9:3S-41; Luke 9:3S 50); again when James and John asked if they should command fire to come down and destroy the Sa maritan village (Luke 9:51-56), and. finally, when the mother made that selfish request that her two sons might sit on the right and left hand of Christ in his kingdom (Matt. 20: 20-24). It is interesting that none of these events arc recorded by John in his gospel, where, incidentally, he never speaks of himself by name. John is the only one of the apos tles who died a natural death at the age of nearly 100 years. The Disciple Whom Jesus Loved Five times in John's gospel refer ence is made to the disciple whom Jesus loved . (13:23; 19:26; 20:2; 21:7 and 21:20) and not once in the Dther gospels. John was a man of a quiet, contemplative, mystical spirit, the opposite of Peter. Peter and James were first among the twelve, but John was first in the affection of the Lord. Jesus surnamed James an j John "Boanerges Sons of Thunder." (Mark 3:17). Thunder to the He brews was the voice of God. It con veys the idea of an ardent temper, great strength of character, whether lor good or evil. What such a disposition might have i called to serve on a Jury. The judge ordered the change In venue despite 102 affidavits submit ted by the defendant from residents of widely scattered portions of the county stating they had no prejudice and couldn't even remember much about the case. The affidavits were submitted in addition to the defendant's prelim inary pleadings before the court Sat urday. Attorney for the plaintiff made no further argument, resting his case on lengthy testimony and a few affi davits submitted Saturday. The case was set for trial In the Otoe county district court October 9. Nebraska City News-Press. CENTRAL TEACHERS PICNIC From "Wednesday's Dally The teachers on the third floor In Central building gave a picnic to the second floor teachers last even ing.

Yet,- he was our Lord's most intimate friend on earth, and as Alex ander Whyte reminds us, "What an exalted light that , casts on the char acter of John, on the qualities of his mind and on the disposition of his heart. The foundation of all friend ship is always laid in likeness in likeness of nature. In likeness of mind and judgment, in likeness of tastes, pursuits and occupation. What a certification, then, that is, concern ing John's mind and character and tastes and pursuits, to be told that out of all the men that our Lord met on earth, John was the man he best loved and made his closest friend! How far beyond all the other dis ciples, apostles and evangelists, John stands in the knowledge of the things that our Lord had heard of his Father." John's Writings He wrote the last of the four gos pels, the last three epistles and the last book of the New Testament, the Revelation; and these three works show a wonderful harmony. Faith is prominent in the gospel; love in the epistles and hope in the Revelation. "John's gospel is the golden sunset of the ages of inspiration, and sheds its lustre into the second and all suc ceeding centuries of the church." Philip Schaff. The author states the purpose for which the gospel was written: "That ye may believe that Jesus is tne Christ, the Son of God, and believing, ye may have life in his name." (20: 31). The five great terms of this verse arc the foundation stones upon which the gospel is built: "Believe, Jesus, Christ, Son of God, life." In Revelations we have a book of visions (the phrase "I saw" occurs over iorty times), difficult to under stand, but yielding precious treasures to those who will study it with the Holy Spirit as teacher (1:3). With out this book the Bible would be in complete. John's theology will have to be omitted for want of space. His third epistle is a fine tribute to a very dear friend and brother Gaines the beloved.' Four men by that name occur in the New Testament: Gains of Macedonia (Acts 19:29); Gains of Corinth (Rom. 16:23) ; Gains of Derbe (Acts 20:4). John's solici tude for his Christian brother is shown in his deep interest regarding his health and prosperity. Rejoicing greatly for the good report brought ! to him that Gains walked in the truth, worthily, to the honor of Jesus Christ. Any pastor would be glad if all his members were such as this disciple. The exhortation to "imitate not that which is evil, but that which is I good" is very timely and should ap-( peal to every Christian. To become Christ-like should be his'aim.

Later, he vi3ited the home of Joe Staska, where he was able to obtain some very fine ones. The Peaches are Gone The peach orchard of Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Young, located on the Sadie Oldham farm has been a very busy place during the past week, as there was harvested over 600 bushels of this luscious fruit, and even with that large amount there was not nearly enough to supply the demand, callers being there from all over southeast ern Nebraska. A number of others, having smaller yields were also able to dispose of their fruit. Still the demand was unabated and a goodly number were turned away. Raising peaches would prove a profitable ven ture if crops like this could be har vested each year, but there are so many years when the crop is a failure that few care to get into the busi ness.

HAVE RELIEF PROBLEM From 'weonesaav uanv This morning the court house was enlivened by the airing of one of the many problems that arise from relief work and in which all officials were called iiito action to try and unravel the proposition. Last evening a truck loaded with household furniture arrived here from Sioux City, Iowa, bringing with the truck the John Welch family, former residents of Weeping Water who were being sent from the Iowa city back to Cas3 county. The fam ily have resided in Iowa for the past year and like many hundreds in the trying depression times have been forced on relief. The officials of Ply mouth county, Iowa, decided that tbey would ship the family back to Nebraska whether they desired to go or not and despite tho physical con dition of Mr. Welch, recently oper ated on, they were sent on their way. When the family reached here th3 local officials while giving them tern-' porary shelter and food, felt that th-? Iowa county was trying to put one OTer on them and the Eoods were not unloaded, and the local relief officers prepared to try and send the family back to Iowa, which has been their home for the past year. The Iowa truck driver that brought them here refused to take them back and the officials were still battling with the problem at noon.
