Illinois records with pride the fact that she is
the first State in the Union to complete her
share in the collection for the Mckinley Ma
tional Monument Fund. The amount allotted
TO Illinois was $4,000 and that sum has not
only been raised. but several hundred dollars in
excess has been contributed. The check for
the amount has been forwarded to the treas
urer of the association at Canton. Ohio. by
Alexander Fl. Reven the chairman of the state
commission The popularity of the work for the
fund in the State of Illinois is attcSted by the
fact that the contributors, including the school
children, who gave their mite number more
than one hundred thousand. 1t may he added
that the collection of the money was in nowse
a hurry or rush affair. but that contributions
were quietly solicited wherever and whenever
