The total amount of subscriptions
to the war bonds was 81 1865, oOO, 900,
and would doubtless have been twice
as large had not the certainty that
they would not get any prevented
many large financial concerns from
offering to take big blocks of the
bonds. The meaning of this offer of
our own citizens to loan the govern
ment $ 1865, 900, 900 at per cent. in
terest, will be more fully appreciated
in Eur than among ourselvec-we
require no such proof of the patriot
ism Of ar people. President McKin
ley is mach pleased to know that the
entire issue of bonds will go to indi-
viduals not one of whom will get
more tan $1,000, and that almost
half of tne $500, 000, 900 will go out in
lots of 500 or less. 1t is popular
loan, sure enough.

OBITUARY..
ALBERT FORREST REEVES.


Albert Forrest Reeves, son of Mrs. Lo-
vinia Tompkins, died Friday night, aged
nearly twenty-eight years. Though he
had been critically i'll for several weeks, a
new hope had been held out to his many
anxious friends but a day or two before
his death, and this made keener the
shock occasioned by the news that tired
nature had at last given up the unequal
battle.
Albert Forrest Reeves was born in Els
worth, and all his life had been spent
here. Reared among friends and home
surroundings. he devoted himself to his
home and to his friends, winning his way
in the esteem of the community to place
occupied by few young men.
At the memorial service in the Unita-
rian church Sunday morning Rev. W. K.
Hunt used an apt Illustration. He divided
young men broadly into two classes
those who go out into the world to make
new homes, and those who remain at
home. The former he compared to the
bird which, reared in the home nest, soon
spreads its wings and seeks new home;
the other he compared to the flower which
did not leave its native soil, but sends its
roots deeper into the earth, and its per-
fume wider and wider upon the air.
Those in the congregation who knew
Bert" Reeves-and few there were who
did not-appreciated the truthfulness of
the comparison. His affectionate, genial,
social temperament twined itself closer
and closer about the hearts OF his friends,
and his influence went out in constant
ly widening circle.
Besides his mother, the deceased leaves
one sister, Miss Blanche Reeves. He was
a member of Esoteric lodge, F. and A. M;
Donaqua lodge, and W. NJ. Haines COM
pany, Uniform rank, h. Of P; Ellsworth
lodge, A. o. L. W., and the Dirigo club.
no aete iCh NJ
held was evidenced by the large atten-
dance of his friends and associates at the
memorial service in he Unitarian church
Sunday morning, and at the funeral ser
vice in the house Sunday afternoon.
The funeral service was conducted by
Rev. W. r. Hunt. The pail bearers were
Able L. Friend, William w. Morrison, W.
F. Aiken and John A. Stuart. There were
many beautiful floral tributes, including
pieces from he different orders of which
the deceased was member. Interment
was al Wood bine cemetery.

Ivory Butler and wife are haunted by
railroads. A few years ago they lived in
