"HoRNET,s NEST BRIGADE. ;,
Ottumwa People In Attendance Mt the
Reunion at Davenport.

Major Samuel Mahon and G. D.Rick-
ey, both of this city, have returned
from Davenport where they attended
the Grand Army reunion of the depart
ment OF Iowa, and incidentally reun-
ion of the survivors of the famous Hor-
nets Nest brigade which fought in the
historic battle of Shiloh, as well as ma
ny other battles of the civil war. Ma
jor Mahon, who is also an officer in the
association, delivered an address before
the Hornets Nest brigade reunion
meeting and in the parade yesterday
Mr.. Hickey carried a genuine hornets
nest on a pole. s. @
The Hornets Nest brigade, of which
both these gentlemen were members,
takes its name from the rebel regi-
ments opposing it, and was, composed of
the Second, Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth
and Fourteenth Iowa infantry, and the
name was attached to it after the bat
tie of Shiloh, in which General Albert
Sidney johnson was killed.
The ''rebs" thought after they made
five futile attempts to charge the sol
id phalanN OF. the five Iowa regiments
on that bloody Sunday on April 6, and
on Monday, April Z, 1862, that they had
gotten themselves into a yeritable hor-
nets nest. Hence the name.
Companies B and G OF the gallant
Second, which participated in the bat
tie of Shiloh, Were from Davenport, the
major portion of them having been re-
cruited here. The brigade was in COM
mand of Colonel j. NJ. futile.
Shiloh is not the only battlefield on
nh Si,l,
Twelfth and Fourteenth Iowas distin-
guished themselves, but there We're 100
more. Iowa sent to the front 10000
of her best beloved sons, of which NUM-
Der fully $4,000 are dead.
"On fame's eternal camping ground
Their silent tents are spread"
The Hornets Nest" brigade fought
at Shiloh, where Wallace fell and Lit
tier left his arm. There We're forty
two officers and men killed at Shiloh;
104 wounded and eighteen missing.
There We're 352 taken prisoners. Colon
Ell j. M. futile, of the Second Iowa,
commanded the brigade in this battle.
Colonel w. Il. Shaw, of Anamosa, and
member of the Fourteenth, is presi-
dent of the association.
Elect Officers.
All of the old officers of the Brigade
association were reelected at business
meeting held last Monday, among them
being Major Mahon, following which
it was decided to raise fund for the
purpose of buying badges the design
of which will either. be a button hole
emblem with hornets nest embossed
or stick pin with the same design

Is imminent" This internal change has been
rapidly going forward under the present admin

approaching; yet, partisan spirit is blindly sane

ing, or the cost of such revolution. Professor
Mommsen also says: "But as far as can see,

WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY.

Do large. number of church members know
what Christianity is? Christ says, "By their
fruits We shall know them" yet, how. many
church members are there who know what the
fruits of Christianity are? This question is
suggested by so many church me1nbers speak
ing about 'sour good Christian PRESIDENT" and
upholding him in so many wicked actions.
His knowledge of the demoralizing work of
the army canteen among the soldiers, his al
lowing the saloons to be increased III Menla
from three to four hundred, his allowing the
liquor traffic to be planted in Cuba and Porto
Rico, his ignoring the petitions of the temper
ance people, his drinking wine at the banquet
in Chicago, his associating with the distiller at
Peoria, his pleasing interview with the brewer
At ST. Louis, makes the fruit of the president
very doubtful character, when it is said, "But
the fruit of the Spirit is love- joy, peace, long
suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meek
ness, temperance"
When church members uphold president
with such liquor record, they may be expect
ed TO uphold any kind, or any form, of wicked
ness, and have either no sense of Christian
f,uitage, or do not care whether it develops or
not.
