spring wheat markets is likely to be
reflected in the winter wheat markets.
here has got to be some foreign out
let for our wheat crop or we Will
get lower prices for a time at least.
The Price Current in it's weekly sum-
mary says, THE seeding of winter
wheat is progressing well, The ground
is in good condition and an increased
acreage is indicated" Liverpool clos
ed to sd lower. Receipts here today,
53 cars, year ago, as. Weather contin-
ues fine in all directions for market
Ing and movement. The action of
the September option today had little
influence on the other months and We
believe they should be sold ON any
bulges, or around present levels.
Corn-Old corn that was not for sale
thirty days ago at higher price now
is freely offered and the movement is
likely to become little bit burden
some before October is over especially
as every consumer is now figuring on
low priced new corn. Fine weather
everywhere for maturing of the crop.
The Price Current says, The corn
crop has matured without material
frost damage and good quality is
expected Husking has commenced in
some localities and early marketing Of
new corn is anticipated" The Septem-
Der deal passed out quietly. Cash corn

there is a good profit in selling De-
cember and May corn at present fig

els.

movement will probably be much heav
Ter in another month Demand is
slow and we think the hedgers of the
big stocks and the stuff to move will
prove burdensome to the December

Rev. Michael Aloysius McCartey was
born in Boston, Dec. 80, 1874, and three
years later the family came west and
located in Peoria, ILL., He entered col
lege at the age of seventeen and
studied at Girardo, the Barrons, and
Milwaukee. Received his first holy
communion at St. Mary's church,
Peoria, on Christmas morning, and
later was confirmed in the same church.
He was ordained priest on Dec. II,
1870, at st. Frances seminary, Mil
waukee, and said his first mass in the
Peoria church.
We are informed by Robt. Phelan
that Father McCartey's first mass in
Cresco, and at which he was present,
was celebrated in the old school house.
Services for time were held in the
upper story of the jackson building
and later in vacant building near the
location of Fred Woellstein's store.
The first church, the one now used but
which has been enlarged and remodeled
was built by Father McCartey on a
Foundation laid by Father Hardin from
stone taken from a chapel which at one
time was located between Vernon
Springs and New Oregon.
Father McCartey was a strong advo-
cate of temperance and the Father
Mathew society was the organization
that was nearest his heart. His annual
sermon when he urged his people to
take the total abstinence pledge was
the means of turning many victims of
strong drink from the dangerous road
which they were travelling.
The Father Matthew Society, also
the c. o. F., attended the funeral in
body.
Rev. McCartey's only surviving rela-
tive is sister, now in very feeble
health, who has always resided with
him.

IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL RITES
Rev. Father Mccartey Laid at Rest
Thursday Morning.

In our last Tuesdays issue we gave
brief mention of the death of Rev.
M. A. McCarty, which occurred that
morning.
Wednesday the remains lay in state
at the church altar and many people of
all denominations viewed the body of
the noble priest.
Yesterday morning the last rites for
the dead were performed in the church
where he had been the pastor during
his entire priesthood of 80 years.
The church was filled to overfiowing
with members of the Cresco and neigh
boring parishes and with many of the
citizens of Cresco who, irrespective of
creed, held the deceased in the highest
esteem.
Mass was preceded by the chanting
OF the Office for the Dead, Father
Ryan of Calmar and Father O'Brien of
Riceville being the chanters.
Following this, requiem mass was
celebrated by Father Howard, with
Father Nelson of Dewitt as Deacon,
Father Lakomy, of Protivin, as Sub
Deacon, and Father German, of Du-
blque, acted as Master of Ceremonies.
Following mass, Father Garland, of
Charles City, who was lifelong friend
of the deceased, and who was the first
pastor of the Lourdes church, delivered
the sermon, a touching and sincere
tribute to the memory of the deceased
priest, condensation of which we are
pleased to present as follows:
FATHER GARLAND'S ADDRESS
81 will raise me up faithful priest
who will do according to my heart and
SOUL" The words come from the first
book of Kings, the2nd chapter and 9th
verse.
Parishioners and friends of the Rev.
Father McCarty, bear with me this
morning, for burden has been placed
upon my shoulders that am unable to
carry; would to God that l could, and
do justice to the occasion, but Gods
will be done, we will do the best we
can.
81 will raise me up faithful priest
who will do according to my heart and
SOUL" So said the Lord to the holy
Samuel, and 80 years ago the 18th of
this month did he again raise up
faithful priest of the all in all. Faith;
oh! what gift it is, and we all know
that it is absolutely necessary for sal
vation. "a faithful priest Oh!
what faith did our dear Father McCar-
tey have as priest. Well did he re-
alize the words of our loving Savior,
sttI have chosen you, you have not
chosen me, and heartily did he in his
young life, in the days gone by, re-
spond to that call and come out into the
prairies of Iowa and take up the bur-
den that was laid upon his shoulders on
the morning of his ordination. He well
realized the dignity that was impressed
upon him the morning that he was or
dained. He was always a priest at
home and abroad, and in private as

well as in public. He was an example
of all that priest should be.

OI all LnaC priest SnOulQ be.
Well do remember 80 years ago
this month, when was sent to take a
portion of his charge that was becom-
ing more than he could attend to. In
the silence of the night did he meet me
with one of his faithful parishioners
and welcome me as brother, yea, as
a father, for was but mere boy,
and there and then was born an affec-
tion and love that was always re-
membered as the years went by. Well
do remember the counsel and advice
that received from his lips, now 81
lent in death.
How faithful he was to his duties.
People and parishioners of the
Church of the Assumption, need tell
you-as l said in the beginning, l am
not able to tell you what his love was
to you and to the church. His heart
and soul was in the altar. Look
around and see what he did. A picture,
an object lesson of virtue and holiness
and sacredness that he loved with an
undying love. Gold and white-the
reflection of his own soul. You have
lost father and friend, and brother
priest; lost an example of priestly
work-a living example. Citizens of
Cresco and Howard County, whom he
taught for thirty-nine years, you have
