Mrs. Leslie NJ. Shaw is the first gov
ernor's wife in Iowa who was born in the
Hawkeye State and has lived there al
ways. Mrs. Shaw was born at Clinton
and attended seminary in Lyons. Her
maiden name was Miss Alice Gresham.
In 1874 she went to Denison to visit a
married sister. The future governor was
superintendent of the Methodist Sunday
school in Denison. Miss Gresham also
was interested in Sunday school work,
and thus they saw much of each other.

RENDING THE HEARTS OF THE
MOURNERS.

j. Sterling Morton continues to fay
the 16 to 1 theory each week in The
CONSERVATIVE. This is all wrong. If
we cannot say good things about the
dead it is more charitable to remain
silent Why rend the hearts of the
mourners by continuing to show up
the faults and fallacies of the deceased?

is, therefore, perhaps worth preserving

is, therefore, perhaps worth preserving
in detail.
He said that when they opened the
grave, during the spring rise of 1857,
they found both lower arms missing and
a portion of the left leg. The principal
members of the skeleton, however, were
there entire. He accounted for the de-
ficiencies, as well as for the story of the
skull having gone into the river, as fol-
lows: He recalled the. captains state
ment of their finding the grave open OH
their return, which has always been un-
derstood as meaning that it had been
dug into by wild animals probably
wolves. The body, he said, would have
been buried with the arms crossed over
the breast; and in that position the
arms would have been the first thing
the beasts would come to; and he made
no doubt but that they had, in fact, been
carried off in this manner. The miss
ing foot he thought undoubtedly fell
down the bluff when the face of the hill
was 80 far washed away that it pro-
truded; and the reason why it was
thought that the skull had gone was
that the post or cross was at that end Of
the grave and went in first, and those
who observed this naturally supposed
that it had marked the head of the
grave. He reminded us, however, that
this post or cross had been replaced at
least once, quoting Nicollet's statement
to that effect and showed how easily
stranger, finding the rude monument
wholly displaced and lying upon the
ground, could have set it up again mad
vertently at the wrong end of the
mound.
More than once, in the course of the
day, was mention made of Sergeant
Floyd's >last recorded saying; how he
spoke to Captain Clark and said, 81 am
going away I want you to write me
letter." The Interpretation always put
upon these simple words was that the
young man had wished to send fare
we'll to his father or some friend back
in Kentucky: but it would have been
easier for him to say so in other words,
if that had been his meaning. Is it not
more natural to believe that, feeling the
approach of death, and wandering per-
haps little in his mind, this brave lad
had desired to have letter of recon-
mendation from his commanding officer
to take with him on the long journey
that lay before him?

captains was not the eternal resting
place that that they had designed it to
be. 1t was attacked by the river, and
the high water Of the spring of 1867 de-
molished it in huge sections. Even the
grave itself, high above, was reached at
length, and one end of it destroyed; it
was believed, and the Sioux City papers
of today so stated, that the soldiers
skull became detached and fell into the
river, though this was mistake, as will
be explained below. The settlers, how
ever, came to the rescue at this point,
showing thereby what kind of men they
were who founded our river towns.
They opened the grave, removed the
bones to safe place, and on May 28th
of that year formally reinterred them,
with appropriate ceremonies, some 200
yards father back from the edge of the
bluff.
Busy years followed, with the war
first and then the development of the
new city; the young men became old
men, and then the long deferred project
for suitably marking the historic grave
was brought forth again. It grew as it
was handled; the late DIR. Elliott Coues,
that human steam-engine of research,
the historiographer of the Lewis and
Clark expedition, put his mighty shoul-
der to the wheel; it was taken up vigor-
ously by various competent men; $5 900
was obtained from the national govern
ment, an; all equal amount from the
state of Iowa; private subscriptions
were freely made; the railroads did
what Lay in their power and the shaft
that has this morning been dedicated,
rose over the spot where, on Memorial
day of 1896, the bones of the Kentuckian
had been deposited for the third time in
the soil of the western wilderness which
he had hoped to help explore. The cost
of the structure was stated by Colonel
Chittenden to have been close to $780,
600.
This being wholly Floyd's day in
Sioux City, the good people began again
after their dinners, and returned to the
pleasant task once more in the evening.
In the afternoon they filed their largest
theatre, the Grand, to overfiowing, to
witness the simple and touching, but
little-known, ceremonies of the Grand
Army Of the Republic, and hear an adj
dress by Hon. John A. Kasson; who sat
and watched with interest the Memorial
Day exercises, in company with other
men and women who had had hand in
the making of the day. Prominent
among these was Mrs. Coues, whose
honored husbands name, by an over
sight which many noticed with regret,
was not mentioned in either the morn
ing or afternoon exercises; though a

Of the intellect which is able to dispense
with rant. The CONSERVATIVE will, by
Mr.. Kasson's permission, present some
portions of it to our readers at an early
day, for itamounts toa document which
could be widely read to good advantage.
The evening gathering was perhaps
the most interesting of all, for it was
the least formal this was an old mems
day, and those were beautiful and Won
derful old men who told, mainly in an
impromptu manner, various things from
their own knowledge concerning Ser
geant Floyd and the antiquities of the
region. First arose DR.. James Davie
Butler, of Madison, Wisconsin, the dis
coverer of Floyd's manuscript journal;
with bowed frame, snow-white hair and
shrunken hands, but speaking in re-
sonant and unwearied voice, and still
making good jokes, jokes of the cumu-
lative kind, which pleased the audience
more the longer they thought them
over. He told the story of the journal,
considerable sections Of which have
been presented in The CONSERVATIVE;
he even presented the priceless old docu-
ment itself, so strangely found after the
lapse of ninety years, and a privileged
few were allowed to examine and handle
it. It is small book, Of convenient
size to carry in ones coat pocket; the
ink is rusted, but the writing is perfectly
legible. At the stage of the journey
where they passed the future site Of
Nebraska City, where he saw "High
Cliftes on the South Side Which hase the
Apperence of Iron Ore," he at first
wrote simply ''ore," but then smeared it
out with his finger or sleeve and put in
fuller particulars.
Among all the events of the day,
there was nothing more pleasing than a
brief reminiscent speech made by an
early settler who had made long jour
ney, despite advanced age and feeble
ness, to take part in the occasion-Judge
Levering, of Los Angeles. He was one
of those who, in 1867, rescued the
menaced grave from entire destruction !;
he was even the one who was made Gus
todian of the bones themselves. He re-
called, in picturesque language, the cool
reception those venerable relics met at
the hands of his wife when he brought
them home, enclosed in bag. "She
didn't like the feelin's of 'em," he said,
smiling; "she didn't exactly take as
much pleasure in the rattlin' of the dry
bones as she would in the tones of a
church organ" So he bestowed them
elsewhere-he told the Sioux Cityans
whose Office he left them in, and just
where it used to stand-until arrange
ments were made for the ceremonial
burial.
