The last tender office that the living
can perform for the dead was done this
afternoon when the remains of Mrs. + 5.
Slvis were consigned to their final rest
ing place IN Riverside cemetery, Moline
Short services were held at Sheriff Sivis'
residence in the Jail building including
prayer by Rev. q. W Cue, when the re-
mains were conveyed to the First NJ. f.
church, where the funeral ceremonies
took place. The choir sang a number Of
appropriate selections including Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" The sermon was
preached by Rev G. W. Cue, whose text
was taken from John 1871:
What do thou knowst not, hut thou shal;
know hereafter
The subject of the discourse was THE
Hidings of Gods Providence" Mr.. Cue
said we are living in world of mystery.
The physical world reveals but few of
its secrets. The events of our lives come
to us Swallowed, and most of the acts of
Providence have their meanings yelled;
yet there are traces of wisdom and evil
dences of plan in all of Gods dealings
with man. Every mans life is part of
the great plan of God, and this
plan is so great that we cannot
Judge of it by one event of our lives
We cannot solve the meaning of all
things, though sometimes We are brought
to pain and grief almost unbearable hut
there is relief only in the faith that Di-
vine Providence will some time make all
things clear. 1t was a beautiful dis
course, full of hope and consolation to
the bereaved ones who were urged to put
their trust in Him who doeth all things
well
There was wealth of floral tributes,
handsome and fitting in design. The
pail bearers were Judge Lucian Adams,
County Clerk r. A. Donaldson. County
Treasurer John Schafer, Jr.. States At
torney Walter J. Entrkin and Messrs.
j. T. Kenworthy and C. L. Walker.
Deputy County Clerk J. K. Cooke had
charge of the arrangements. There was
an extensive funeral Cortege to Riverside

sENATIoN SUIT.
The Mamie Day Seduction Case Prove
q Good Substitute.

Special Dispatch TO The Appeal.
JACKSON, Tenn, Feb. 0.-The case
which occupied the court after the motions
in the Howard trial this morning was that
Of Mamie Day, the seventeen year-old
daughter OF one OF the good farmers OF the
county against u. l.. Davis, the son Of a
respectable neighbor, for seduction. The
damage claimed Is 5000 The young
girl was In court with the chuhby-iaced
boy in her arms, attended by her aged
father. Most OF the crowd who came 10
hear the Howard case with all It's juicy in
gradients, were appeascd with the COM
promise offered and remained to
hear the slacious details Of the
Day vs.. Davis case which proved
an oily morsel 10 their appctites. Tho
case Is vigorously contested on account Of
the responsibility Of the parties In their
neighb0rhood, and unspairing research Is
gone into rs 10 the former character OF
both, especially the young lady's, which,
so far as the evidence goes. Is not as good
as the reputed chastity OF ''Cesar's wife"
Young Davis Is quite n Lothario In his
ncighborhood, and Ia the boss beau at all
picnics and balls. II was at one Of these
lac met Miss Day. The mash was mu-
tual. II lasted through a whole year.
Then the reckoning came, hence the suit.
