The Des Moines Register of the ed in
slant, contains the following. relative to
the former resident of this county, Mrs
J. L. Smith, mention of whose death was
made in the ARGUS few days since:
The funeral of Mrs. John L. Smith yes
terday was attended By large concourse
OF people. with whom the feeling OF grief
at the departure of the estimable old lady
was deep and effecting. Many there
we're to tell in suDdued tones of her kind
ness, OF her gentle ways. of how her
home was an attractive place of resort for
both old aud young, and of how much
she came to be loved by all who were
privileged to know her. The exercises
were feelingly con ducted by Rev. II l..
Stetsou and Rev. J. A Nash. the presen t
and former pastors o. the First Baptist
church. for thirty FIVE years the spiritual
home of the departed lady. Mr.. Nash
was especially moved, as he told of the
fact that, thirty eight years ago. while on
his way TO Des Moines. he spent Sunday
at Rock Island. III. where he at
tended Baptist church, and there
met this lady ard her husband,
then residents of that city. They
cordially invited him to their residence,
where he took dinner; and where an &C.
quaintance began, which was strength
ened upon the removal TO this city few
years later, of the excellent couple, and
which lasted till now both husband and
wife had gone TO the better land. The
speaker alluded touchingly to the gradual
wasting away of the visible band of old
settlers, saying that Of the 500 people
who inhabited Des Moines when Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith came here he could count
those still with US on his fingers. The
pail bearers, Messrs. W. S Galbraith, F.
K. Laird, E, R! Clapp, Judge Given,
Judge Mitchell and J. s. Lewis. were
selected by Mrs. Smith, three of them be-
ing among the very early settlers. The
floral tributes were remarkable in both
number and quality. and presented a
wonderfully beautiful appearance evil
dencing as they did the high regard in
which The deceased was held by all who
were privileged to know her. The re-
mains were deposited in the vault of MIR il.

Miles Standish's Grave.

There has always been a tradition
that the grave of Miles Standish, the
location of which has been matter of
much speculation to historians, was in
the old graveyard at South Duxbury,
Mass, and the authority of this has
been traced back to an old shipbuilder
who died there eighteen years ago at
the age of 80, and who, some years
before his death, said that his father
had pointed out the spot to him and
that sit was marked by two three
cvrnered stones" That grave was
opened recently, and two skeletons
were found; one of a man and another
of woman. Miles Standish's will
directed that he be laid cas- near as
conveniently may be to my two dear
daughters Standish, my daugh-
ter, and Mary Standish, my daughter
in-law." If investigation should show
that another woman's skeleton was
buried beyond the graves already exam
ined, it would be strong evidence in
favor of the presumption that the last
resting-place of Capt. Miles Standish
had at last been found.

Gen. Harvey was born in Tennessee, Aug.

to subdue it when it RACES fercely in the
