Obituary..

Born in Wohlenhausen, Hanover
province, Germany, Herman Willer
resided in that country until about
1868 when with his family he came to
this country. He was united in mar
riage to Miss Louisa Helmsen in
Germany, and three children were
born to them, in that country later
being brought here by their parents.
Mr. Willer followed the shoemaker's
trade while in the fatherland, and
after coming directly to Keokuk from
there, followed that calling several
years in this city. Later he engaged
| in the hotel business at Second and
Johnson streets, being the landlord of
the Green Tree House, which will be
remembered by many of the older
residents of this city. For the past
fifteen years, however, he has been
leading a retired life, being content
to live at his home and attend to his
garden and little vineyard, which with
much success, he has conducted for
a number of years.
Evangelical church, attending regular
| ly the services of that house OF
worship when his health permitted
him to do SO. He was at one time
a member of the Druid lodge in this
city but in late years has not been
member of any secret society. Those
who survive him are: His wife, Mrs
Louisa Willer, one son, Herman, OF
Henderson, Colo, and two daughters
of this city, Mrs. Emma Bozeman
and Mrs. Henry Scheerer Thirteen
grandchildren also survive.
Funeral arrangements are as yet in
complete, but will be announced lat
err 1t is the request of the family

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 17.-Wheat
Weather map showed little rain
and unsettled condition leading to the
hope of more. We do not feel that
showers will materially weaken the
wheat situation as the market was
pretty will liquidated early in the
week. The general position still
pears strong. We feel that the pur-
chases on soft spots will continue
to result in profits.
Corn-Weather conditions are be-
ginning to assume character that
will interrupt marketing and move
ment, although reports indicate roads
are still good A desire on the part
of the big shorts to secure profits con-
tinues to keep corn firm The high
feeding value of corn and the ]sIiown
ability of farmers to hold stuff is a
good influence. We believe purchases
made on soft spots will result in pro
fits 20
Oats-No important features have
