Ctildren's Day Service.

The Children's Day service in the
M. L. church last Sunday, was simp-
ly grand. Gan opening service of
the second century of the church's
history" The printed program of
responsive readings and songs was
so topically arranged that it was in
teresting, instructive and entertain
ing. The committee Of arrange
ments and decoration did their work
well and with most excellent taste.
Our first impression was, oh, the
birds, and beautiful flowers and in
the midst of this floral group stood a
mo SIS covered cross with wreath of
"snow balls" around the top, an emp
ty vase stood near the foot, all sup
ported by a heavy bank of grass and
flowers. Several Sunday school sup
crintendents were present and took
part as leaders in the responsive
service. Supt. Drake and school NJ.

Before Justice Bennett yesterday, there
was civil cult to recover $50 from J. B
thinner, the tailor on Second avenue
The plaintiff in the case is J J. Preison,
of Chicago, who on May LIST. last, made
an agreement he claims, with Mr.. Zim,
mer to teach him new mode of cutting
He AYERS further that there was a verba
agreement between himself and Mr.. Tim
mer, by which he was to teach the de-
PENDANT the theory for SIS. and at tht
end of five weeks Mr.. thinner paid him
$15 Of the amount.
Afterward. however, Mr.. thinner be
came dissatisfied With Mr.. Preisons pat
tern, and REUSED to hire him longer, o.
pay him more money, as there was nj
written contract between them. Mr.
Preison therefore brought suit for 500
and the verdict was in his favor. Motto,
of an appeal was given.

Pleading for Alimony.

The attention of the circuit court was
taken today with the continuation of the
arguments in the case of Ellen Erickson
vs. Eric Erickson. The proceeding is but
the preliminary step to suit for divorce,
the plaintiff having previously filed Pc
tition for divorce, and now asks the
court to grant her sufficient alimony to
prosecute the suit. 1t seems that in Feb
ruary, 1884, the defendant left his home
in Moline, giving at the time, his wife the
power of attorney over his property.
While he was away his wife transferred
the trust to friend-sne Blanburg.
Hearing of this Mr.. Erickson returned,
and took possession of his property him
SELF The wife filed bill for divorce last
fall, asking for a legal separation on
the ground of cruelty. The plaintiff at
the same time filed cross bill against his
spouse, charging her with adultery.
The action of the wife in asking for
alimony is contested by the husband on
the ground, that during his absence she
drew $4,000 of his money, the expendi-
ture of large portion of which she fails
to give q satisfactory account of J. T.
Browning, of Moline, appears for the
plaintiff and Oliver Olsen, of this city
for the defense The suit pending will
not check the divorce case on file.
