Bad Auto Smashup.

AS the result of a ''joy ride" trip,
taken early Sunday morning by Leo
Miholke, Gene Olson and John Hattie
stead, C. D. Nichols fine Staver auto.
mobile is at the new race track so bad
ly damaged that its value is very prob
lematicaI, and doubtless is very slight.
The top and the rear wheels are the
only parts which escaped damage of
some kind. The front wheels and
transmission being total wreck.
According to the best accounts,
MihoIke, who is employed at the Miller
Garage, where the Nichols auto was
kepe. proposed to Olson and Hattie
stead that he would give them the fast
est ride of their lives, and the three
left the garage together and went to
the track, where in rounding short
turn at the west end of the track,
Miholke lost control of the machine,
which left the track and evidently skid
ded sideways until stopped by some
large stumps, the forward movement
of the car smashing it into tree, and
throwing the occupants from the car.
1t is wonderful that none of them were
killed, but as it is, Hattlestead is con
fined to his bed from injuries received,
Olson was quite badly cut and bruised
and Miholke suffered the loss of several
teeth.
The wrecked auto is still at the track
waiting for representative of the
Staver Company to appraise the dam
age done.
Mr.. Nichols was at Minneapolis and
on his return Sunday evening inspect
ed the wreck and instituted measures
to recover damages, his interests being
looked after by John McCook, while
c. W. Reed represents MIR. Miller, the
the owner of the garage. We under
stand that two of the occupants of the
car have indicated their intention to
pay damages.

CreSCo'S Veteran Seed Corn Man.

]. B. Mitchell, Cresco's veteran seed
corn grower, is busy at work sorting
and drying seed corn raised by him
this year at his place in the, north part
of town and on his New Oregon farm.
Mr.. Mitchell has three varieties, "Sil-
yer King" variety originated by
Mr. Goddard of Winneshiek, but
which Mr.. Mitchell has been raising
for ten years, "Gold Mine" raised by
him for fifteen years, and "Pride Of
the North,'' a variety of yellow corn
brought to this county by b. F. Stone
50 years ago, and raised by MIR. Mitch
ell ever since. Mr.. Mitchell takes
particular pains to save only the per-
feet ears which he dries thoroughly
and stores in his house where. he can
keep it dry, at an even temperature
and without freezing. He also tips
all his corn, 50 that purchasers of seed
from him get only the full sized ker-
nels for use in their planters, insuring
evenness IN dropping.
Including few bushels left over
from last year, Mr.. Mitchell will have
$50 bushels of the three varieties. Mr..
Mitchell's knowledge of corn growing
together with his. strict selection and
care of seed from his thoroughly &C.
climated varieties, should cause a
great demand for his corn next season
by farmers who want sure-crop corn
and tested seed.

McDERmoTr

The funeral of Mrs. John McDer-
mott, who passed away at her home
near the city. Thursday morning last,
was held from the Church of the AS
sumption, Saturday morning at ten
o'clock. There was large attendance
at the services, and the many beauti-
full floral offerings testified the love
and sympathy Of the friends of the
family. Requiem Mass was. celebrated
by the Reverend pastor, and the fun
ersl sermon was preached by his assis-
tant, Father John Murtagh, who paid
q most eloquent tribute to the life and
character of the departed Father
Murtagh spoke of her as the very re-
slization and exemplar of the virtues
Of faith. hope and charity; a faith
which was practical and essential fac
tor in her every day life; hope which
was most real in the very shadow of
death; and love which reached out
beyond the limits of family and church,
to her neighbor in the true scriptural
sense. It is no ordinary life or char
acter that could, deserve such a tribute,
and such deep and heartfelt sympathy
as has been called forth by tn death of
this good woman. For over quarter
of century she had been a resident
Of this community, and her thought
fulness, unselfshness and good will had
reached a wide circle of friends where
sorrow over her death and sympathy for
the surviving members of her family
are everywhere heard. The family ex-
press the deepest gratitude for the
many kind and thoughtful services rem
dered to them in their hours of sorrow
by their loyal friends and neighbors.
Ellen Dorgan was born in Madison,
Wisconsin, in 1856. On May 4, 1886.
she was united in the holy bonds of
mat, imony to John McDermott, at
Keyesville, Wisconsin, Immediately
taking up her home in this county
where her husband had been resident
for several years. Here this worthy
couple have lived ever since, loved by
their neighbors and respected by the
community. Their two children, John
and Julia, were raised here and educat-
ed in the schools of Cresco, John be-
ing at present connected with Loomis
drug store, and Miss Julia having been
for the past two years teacher in. the
Greco public schools. The deceased
is also survived by three sisters re-
riding in Wisconsin, who were present

Ryan and Miss Ella Hughes, all of Wis
consin, and T. G. McDermott and Miss
Mary McDermott of Mason City, and
Mrs. E. W. Gurren and Mrs. Eva Cur

ces at the church the funeral train
