TAPER, June, 1840- - (?): A non-sectarian religious monthly, edited by Rev. Thomas Lippincott, a Presbyterian minister. S OBSERVER, September 8, 1836- August 21, 1837 + : This paper was first published in St. Louis as an organ of the Presbyterians. When Elijah P. Lovejoy became its editor he began vigorously and unrelentingly to assail the institution of slavery through its columns. In 1836 he resolved to remove the press and material of the Observer to Alton, Illinois. Before shipment much of the material was destroyed and cast into the Mississippi, and the rest met the same fate when it was unloaded on the wharf at Alton. Notwithstanding these reverses, Mr. Lovejoy procured a new press and the first issue of the Alton Observer appeared, September 8, 1836. This new press, type, and material were destroyed by a mob on the night of August 21, 1837. The third press was ordered, and destroyed on the night of its arrival, and the fragments were cast into the river. A fourth press was ordered at once. It was shipped from Cincinnati and arrived in Alton on the night of November 6, 1837. On the night of November 7 Mr. Lovejoy was killed, his press broken up and its fragments, too, cast into the Mississippi.1 Beginning December 28, 1837, the Observer was printed in Cincinnati by Elisha W. Chester and sent to Alton for distribution. Rev. T. B. Hulburt supplied local news from Alton. This arrangement was abandoned April 19, 1838. HS

ILLINOIS TEMPERANCE HERALD, June 1, 1836-1839+ : Monthly. Edited by F. W. Graves, and later by A. W. Corey, assisted by Timothy Turner; published by the executive committee of the Illinois State Temperance Society. November, 1839, the title was changed to U

MISSOURI AND ILLINOIS TEMPERANCE HERALD, +November, 1839- 1842 : and was published simultaneously in St. Louis and Alton as the organ of the two state temperance societies. January, 1842, the paper became the organ also of the Washingtonian societies, and the title with the number for that date became Missouri and Illinois Temperance Herald and Washingtonian. A. W. Corey was still editor. See Springfield, Illinois Washing- tonian. U

1 "The battered press lay in the river till 1858, when W. R. Mead bought the 'find' for $35, and removed it to Iowa. From 1858 to 1870 it was used to print the Cresco Plain Dealer, at New Oregon, Howard County, Iowa. Then George E. Frost bought it for $100 and printed the Clear Lake Observer on it till about 1876, when it was again sold to F. A. Gates, editor of the Belmont Herald. For about twenty years it remained in service at Belmont, Iowa, and was then sold to Mr. C. F. Gunther, of Chicago, who exhibited it in 'Libby Prison.'" Harris. Negro Servitude in Illinois, 914. n.
