In recognition Of the death Of Senator
Davis, Gov. Lind yesterday paid a tribute
to his memory by issuing a proclamation
to the people of the state of Minnesota
announcing the sad event, and calling
upon the citizens to refrain from their
ordinary labors between the hours OF
10 a. m. and p. m. Saturday, as a trib-
ute to the honored dead. The proclama-
ton reads as follows.
GA citizen whose genial character
and comprehensive humanity have made
MIN beloved by ALL whose learning and
culture have been an inspiration to our
young men, and whose services in public
life have endeared him to the people of
our state and nation, has passed away.
"Cushman K. Davis, senator of the
United States from the state of Min
nesota, died at his home in this city
on Nov. H 1900. His remains will lie
in state in the governors room at the
capitol between the hours of 10 O clock
a. m. and o'clock p. m. on Friday,
Nov. 80 The funeral will be held on the
day following.
'In honor of his distinguished services
to state and nation, and as an expression
Of our grief, l earnestly call upon the
people Of the state to appropriately pay
tribute to his memory on that day and
to refrain from the transaction of all
public business between the hours of 10
o clock a. M. and O'Clock D. IN. on Sat
urday, Dec. l, 1909
All day yesterday the residence of the
deceased statesman was surrounded with
a vale of sadness incident only upon
such sorrowful events as death itself
can invite. The air of deep solemnity
was rendered even more character
istic by the fragrance Of flowers which
prOfusely beset the front rooms. The
saddened home was quiet within ami
without, and there was not that stream
of anxious and sympathetic friends that
had flowed into it for the past several
weeks eager to catch the first news of
a possible change for the better in the
condition of Senator Davis. The circle
of stricken relatives, with an intimate
friend or two, were all that occupied
the lonely abode.
The lifeless form of the favorite son of
his state, the pride of a proud republic,
all that was mortal of the once bril-
liant statesman, jurist and patriot, Cush-
man K. Davis, occupied the chamber of
death up stairs. Beside this silent fig
ure all day and throughout the greater
part of last night remained the faithful
and devoted wife, whose heart was laden
almost beyond endurance with a grief
it had never before known. Alone with
the peaceful slumberer Mrs. Davis, who
had been the constant companion of her
stricken husband during all his Illness
stayed. During the hours of her keen
est sorrow, all heSitating to trespass
upon the sacredness of her own personal
grief, left her alone in that stilled cham
bcr only entering at intervals when she
needed their assistance or something else
required it
Although deeply suffering from her
severe trial Mrs. Davis is showing phe-
nomenal fortitude. She takes the most
active interest in hearing the kilograms
read that come in floods from proni-
nent sources all over the world. Every
message is taken into the room where
she is and read to her. She comments
upon nearly every telegram as she hears
it read and then listens to the name of
the friend from whom it came. The
aged parents of the deceased statesman
have borne up remarkably for persons
of their advanced age.
GOV. LIND CALLED.
Among the few callers at the home yes
terday was Gov. John Lind, whose long
wears CT close attachment to the senator
