The Queen city viii Contribute 100000
Annually to Uncle Sans War Fund.

The special war tax has hit this city
harder perhaps than any other city Of
the same population In the United states.
The sum total derived hy the government
from the sale OF revenue stamps in Bur-
lington is at the rate of about 100000 per
year. In banking circles alone the amount
Is over $4,000 per year and the Wells &
Richardson company contribute in the
way Of stamps over $4,000 per year. The
public offices, express and telegraph COM
panics and railroads make up the bal
anec which is very large for a town OF
less than 5000 population. The railroad
companies are stamping the bills of lading
but the express companies have refused
TO supply stamps to shippers for their re-
ceipts. Several of the largest concerns in
the city. whose express business Is large,
have also refused TO stamp the receipts.
One firm WAS told that the company
would not carry the package and the
head OF the firm dared the company to
refuse to ACCEPT ana carry his business.
The result was that the express company
took the packages. but refused to give re-
ceipts. The cXprcssman simply checks
each package entered in the book and
his mark is evidence that the package
has hcen accepted. The express company
will contest the matter of supplying
stamps, as they claim the shipper should
do the stamping.

ski river below the railroad bridge while
bathing Friday afternoon, were recovered

and then taken to the homes of the two
bereaved families y,
An organized search for the bodies was
begun on Friday night when It was found
that they were missing, the clothes upon

full although kept up until a late hour in

again and after n short time Mrs prevy
discovered the body OF her boy floating
underneath the water and being carried
slowly along by the river current. Help
was secured and the body was removed
about 1890. This body was some little dis
lance below the point where the clothes
were found upon the bank. The finding Of
the body of the Prevy boy gave added Wig
or to tho search for that OF his companion
and about 80 his body was located in the
water about half a mile farther down the
river than that OF the Prevy boy.
The finding OF the bodies, although a re-
lief to the overweight feelings of the
families. snapped the tension which had
been kept up during the search and they
gave way TO the strain in grief OF the
most intense character. Both of the moth
ers were almost Frustrated and the scene
at the river bank was one of heartrending
sorrow.
The funeral of Edmund Prcvy was held
Sunday afternoon from the home on
