Over sixty years ago, on the night OF
Nov. Z, 1897, Elijah p Lovejoy was
shot down in Alton, ILL.,, while with a
few stanch friends he was defending
his printing press against the blind
fury OF a pro-slavery mob. This is the
incident upon which was based the APP

Legislature for the erection In Alton

Elijah Parish Loyejoy. was born at
Albion, Kennebec, Me-, Nov. s, 1902.
He was the eldest of family of nine
children, the son Of Congregational
minister. The early years of his life

And he was allowed to go in peace. On
Sept. u, another press arrived. 1t was
destroyed the same night. Then Love
Joy thought Of removing either to st.
Charles, Mo-, or TO Quincy. But he was
not disposed to run away from trouble,
and on the advice of friends he re-
NAMED and ordered new press.
In anticipation of its arrival another
public meeting was held, with the OBJ

a new course. Then 1t was that he
made his dying declaration, which
rings yet as the keynote of his life and

tlemen, as long as | am an American
citizen, and as long as American blood
runs in these veins, shall hold myself
at liberty to speak, to write, to publish
whatever please on any subject, be-

nEAFNESs CANNOT RE CuRED

By local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inhamed condition of the mu-
cous lining Of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube IS inhained you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored TO its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infiamed condition
of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case CT Deafness (caused by catarrli)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure Send for circulars free.

with enthusiasm, Something of the
motherliness Of this royal woman
touched the hearts of her people and
Victoria, quick to see the hold that 1t
gave her upon them, has maintained
the practice Of presenting them at
regular intervals with photograph OF
herself dandling something In the
shape of descendant upon her knees
First her own children, then her grand
children, and later still her great
grandchildren all have served as ties
to bind her more closely to her sub
