HIBERNIANS JEAR OF SAINT
Father Lawrence 0'Donnell of Lin
coln Deliver! Address to
Society.
REDEMPTION OF IRISH PEOPLE
"Unparalleled In history Is the astound
In p feat of Ireland's conversion," aald
Rev. Father Lawrence O'Donnell of Lin
coln In his address on Bt. Patrick at a
St. Patrick's day celebration of the An
cient .Order of Hlberlana at Crelghton
auditorium Wednesday. Father O'Donnell
was the principal speaker of the evening'.
'St. Patrick redeemed the Irish people
from the appalling darkness of pagan
Ism," he aald. "Christ gave a vision of
heaven to the world, and Bt. Patrick cava
tl at vision to the Irish."
The speaker then briefly reviewed the
early history of St Patrick, kidnaped at
his home on the coast of Gaul by wild
Irish warrior that plundered along the
coast of what Is now France, torn from
the arms of his mother and carried by
these Irish warriors to Ireland, sold Into
slavery. He reviewed his life a a
shepherd under his cruel Irish master.
where on the hills with his sheep he had
leisure to gaze Into the heavens, com
mune with Ood and dream his great
dream. He followed his course ba:k Into
Gaul when he was released, and the men
tal anguish he suffered as ha thought ot
tha heathen Irish, fettered by the chains
of the idolatrous Druids. Ha followed
the young saint as he plunged back into
Ireland determined to carry to the Irish
people the message of Christ.
That this was a particularly hard task
undertaken by the young saint wa
pointed out by the speaker. He pointed
to the fact that the Irish than were a
wild, unruly body ot men, who had heard
from the Druids that a prophet waa to
appear among them and had determined
to resist him.
"But alone, unarmed, with nothing to
defend him but his faith, ho went among
these people and converted them," said
the speaker, "so that goon churches be
gan to arise" and In a few years the
mountains rang with church bells, and
Ireland was redeemed."

Bears Predict Falling Off of Export
Buying and Ultimate Lower
Wheat Prices.

OMAHA, March IS, 1915.
Rears watch the foreign news closely
snd predict that export buying will soon
lull off, and this should cause lower
prices.
It was the gossip of the pit that Wall
street Is doing the most business in July,
selling it on bulges and buying on breaks.
H Is a noticeable fact that houses with
country connections were the best sellers
of May In smsll lots, creating the Im
pression that longs were letting go.
Tho corn trsde is In a waiting mood.
Bears say the bulls will have to liquidate.,
as there la too much In the visible sup
ply to be disposed of at present prices
to the domestic and export trade before
the time for May delivery. The hope of
the bulls Is that foreigners will lake hold
freely and within sixty flays, thus re
ducing stocks to a point at which bears
will have to cover. Several traders ad
voeste buying oats and selling May corn.
The bear predict a big crop in the south,
which will be ready for harvest about
the last of May. Bulls expect to see the
big stock of oats cleaned up before an
other harvest.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISION'S
Featores of the Trading and Cloalag
Prices on Board ot Trade.
CHICAGO., March 18 Assertions that
Immense export sales of flour had been
made, chiefly to go to Italy, helped to
give the wheat market today a decided
upturn. There was an unsettled close at
net advance. Corn finished Ho to
fcOc up, oats raised lr!Hc and provi
sions with a gain of 6c to Mu22fa
Purchasing of flour within the last few
days to meet transatlantic demand was
said to have amounted to as much as
(100,0 ) barrels. Chicago, Duluth and
Kansas Citv were declared tu have all
hud a share in the business. In this con
nection, reports were current that a long
string of overdue westbound ocean
steamers were arriving and there would
be unusually heavy clearances of bread-
stuffs from Atlantic and gulf ports In the
next ten aays.
Advices that Germans had been noti
fied to leave Italy without delay tended
to confirm the gossip regarding huge
sales of flour, but the implied prospect
tnut Italy waa aoout 10 laxe a nana In
the war failed to Impress traders gen
erally as being altogether of bullish na
ture as. an influence on the price ot
wheat. ?om selling was Indulged In at
times on the theory that the logical result
of such action by Italy would be to
shorten the war. Most ot the while, how
ever, irices were on the upgrade. Im

brings the total for the lour aays tins
wiek up lo 26,366 head, being the largest
ot any similar period for a long time
back and almost double the .run of a
year ago. As packers have been liberal
buyers all tho week their requirements
this morning were not as urgent as usual,
with the result that the trade opened
slew and dull, with bltls anywhere from
weak to as much as ldo lower than yes
terday.
The market did not Improve any as tna
morning advanced, prices in the main
being around 10c lower on the general
run of killers. This would apply to cows
and hetrers, us well ss beer steers, it is
now safe to quota tho market on all kinds
of killing, rattle sa around lMl'-io lower
than lasi week's close.
Feeders did not slow much change to
day and they are. In fact, not far from
steady, with last week's close so far as
the better grades are concerned. Less de
sidable kinds, especially stockers, are
perhaps a little lower.
HOOH A fair run showed up this morn
ing, shout 167 cars, ur 10,600 head, being
renorted In. The week's run foots un
62,941 head, a gain of 11 .000 over last week
and 21,000 larger than last year.
There was a good, healthy shipping re
quest again this morning, and shipper
buyers started out early taking the de
sirable light and butrher weight kinds
at figures that were a big nickel higher
than the same grades sold yesterday
morning. By 11 o'clock they had pur
