HERO or hoRNETV NEST At

PASSES AWAY.
ONE OF FEW REMAINING
ARTILLERY COMMANDERS
Bravery at Early Battle Of War Won
Recognition and Promotion - War
p.partment Gives Wslksr Credit For
Saving North From Decisive Defeat
at shileh-Rssdent Of Muscatins.

Muscatine, July 15.-Col Frederick
Welker, the hero of the Hornets nest
in the battle of Shiloh and one of the
prominent artillery commanders OF the
civil war, passed away at his nome
here yesterday While his death was
not unexpected still the announcement
saddened many hearts Colonel Welker
was one Of Muscatine's most highly
esteemed citizens and his less Is zone
which is shared by the entire comman-
ity
The venerable man has been in in
valid state for the past TWO months
and was belfast for more than four
weeks. Old age and attending Ills
brought about his demise. Colonel
Welker realized that his life was
fleeing but il was with the stoicism
of veteran that he marched on TO
the other life. During his career as
soldier he courageousiy rode down into
the valley of death on many occasions
and it was with resignation that he
awaited the lasting rest. Comrades
who visited him during his last illness
found the warm congenial smile still
upon his face and the closing of his
life was 10 them a continuation OF the
inspiration which his illuslr.ous career
had provided.
A Noted Soldier.
In the death of Colonel Welker. an
other of the few remaining prominent
figures of the rebellion passes away.
For years he enjoyed the distinction OF
being one of the few surviving COM
manders of artillery in the union army.
He accompanied Sherman on his his
toric march 10 the sea and occupied a
conspicuous place in the grand review
Of the union forces al washington, d.
g. at the close of the war.
Colonel Welker's bravery as dis
played in the battle Of Shiloh won
for MIN official recognition and promo
tons. The courageous stand made by
Company H, First regiment of the Mis-
souri, light artillery of which ne was
in command permitted the federal
forces TO hold out against the rebels in
the battle of Shiloh.
a recent investigation made by the
war department has proven that the
failure of the rebel army to win that
memorable battle was the heroic stand
made by the artillery al the Hornets
nest. II was upon the poin, that Coio-
nel Welker had assembled his artillery
that the enemy eenLered its fire and the
awful carnage which resulted gave the
name Of the, Hornets Nest" to tina,
spot 1T was in this engagement thai
C-olopol Walker sustained permanen1
injury but despite his wounds ne
spurred his men onward thru cfs-
play of rare heroism and won for him
self thru his NOBLE work place in
American history.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York. March 31.-The extent to
which the speculative situation Is bound
up in the freight rates cases was indicat-
ed by the course of the stock market to-
day. The action of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in expediting the rates
case foreshadowed an early decision, and
as the financial community expects that
the decision will be favorable to the rail-
tinctly bulish. The market responded
strongly. The slow downward move
ment of the last week was reversed and
a broad advance set in. Although the
buying was quiet IL was none the less
effective in establishing a materially
higher range. Professional selling,
moreover. had been carried on the recent
decline to a point which exposed the
shorts to successful attack and today's
rise was the inevitable counter move
ment which corrects an over-extended
position on either side of the market
The Washington news FASTENED the adj
vance in which short covered played
quite as important part as operations
for the long account.
Other influences were at work on the
constructive side. Estimates of the con-
diton of winter wheat indicated an I'M
usually promising outlook. The London
