                <text>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Address of the Niagara annual conference of the M. E. church in Canada to Mr. Johnson&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We, the ministers composing the Niagara annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church in Canada, desire to express our heartfelt sympathy with Mrs. Lincoln and family, yourself, and the people of the United States of America, because of the melancholy death of the lamented late President Lincoln, who was assassinated in the prime of life, and at a period in the history of the republic when he appeared to be the mainspring of the nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;We feel that in the demise of Mr. Lincoln his country lost a patriot, and the whole civilized world a friend.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;The cause and spirit of the execrable southern rebellion, which evidently dictated the barbarous crime, as well as: he assassin who attempted the destruction of the Hon. W. H. Seward and sons, and succeeded in killing President Lincoln, deserve the reprobation of the universal brotherhood of mankind.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Our sincere prayer to Almighty God is, that He may console Mrs. Lincoln and family under their bereavement; preserve the life of the present Chief Magistrate of the republic, and direct him and his administration to such wise conclusions as shall fully restore the Union, extinguish slavery, and give permanent peace to the nation.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Done by order of conference at Strashrog, on the 24th of April, A. D. 1865.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p align="right"&gt;&lt;span class="signed"&gt;M. BENSON, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Secretary of Conference&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;

                  <text>Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, a major American poet, was born in 1879 at 603 South Fifth Street in Springfield, Illinois to Dr. Vachel Thomas Lindsay and Catherine Frazee Lindsay. He graduated from Springfield High School and studied at Hiram College in Ohio, the Chicago Art Institute and the New York School of Art.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsay made three famous walking tours of the United States in 1906, 1908 and 1912, covering more than 2,800 miles. On these treks, Lindsay traded poems for food and shelter, earning him the title &amp;ldquo;The Prairie Troubadour.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lindsay first earned fame with the publication of his poem &amp;ldquo;General William Booth Enters into Heaven&amp;rdquo; in 1913. Two years later his poem, &amp;ldquo;The Wedding of the Rose and the Lotus&amp;rdquo;, calling for tolerance between Eastern and Western cultures was printed by the United States Secretary of the Interior and sent to both houses of Congress in connection with the opening of the Panama Canal.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Much of Lindsay&amp;rsquo;s poetry was written to be read aloud, and he performed extensively across the country and in Europe. He often created drawings to go with his poems. He was a leading voice in the American &amp;ldquo;New Poetry&amp;rdquo; movement and published a total of 20 volumes of poetry and prose. He and other artists of his day championed a new language to express new subjects, such as civil liberties, civic excellence and humanitarian and aesthetic values. He also wrote poems of protest against spiritual and environmental blight. Lindsay&amp;rsquo;s Springfield home was his creative center, and he returned there many times during his career.&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 1925 he married Elizabeth Conner of Spokane, Washington. He returned to Springfield with his wife and two children in 1929, where he committed suicide on December 5, 1931.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Vachel Lindsay Association, a not-for-profit private corporation, was founded in 1946 in Springfield, Illinois &amp;ldquo;to perpetuate the spiritual and material estate of Nicholas Vachel Lindsay, the Poet&amp;rdquo;. The organization proposed to finance the collection and publication of various Lindsayana and to maintain and preserve the Lindsay Home as a site for perpetuating interest in Lindsay and his poetry and ideals. In 1990 the Lindsay Home was transferred to the state of Illinois and became a historic site open to the public. The Association continues to promote interest in Lindsay through various public programming and publishing endeavors. Elizabeth Graham, friend of Lindsay, was a founding member and curator of the Lindsay Home from 1958 to 1978.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The finding aid for the Vachel Lindsay Association Records, 1881-1994 at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library may be found at&amp;nbsp;http://alplm-cdi.com/chroniclingillinois/items/show/650.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Photographs in this collection include images of Vachel Lindsay and his extended family as well as Vachel Lindsay Association members and activities.</text>

                  <text>The Federal Music Project began in 1935 as part of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's New Deal plan. The program, led by Russian-American violinist and orchestra conductor Nicolai Sokoloff, employed musicians, composers, and conductors throughout the United States including more than 400 people in Chicago. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The program provided funding for music festivals, classes, and concerts as well as the creation of 34 orchestras. The Federal Music Project conducted research on several genres of American music with a special emphasis placed on traditional American music and folk songs including cowboy, Creole, and African American music. The Federal Music Project ended at the outbreak of World War II.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Images in this collection include publicity photos of several Illinois musicians and choral groups funded by the Federal Music Project.</text>

I therefore hope you will use your influence in having me sent to my own state As I have No Roll here, they wish to keep me here &amp;amp; muster me out at this place but I have no desire to remain here

                  <text>Harold R. Heaton worked as a political cartoonist for several Chicago-based newspapers including the Chicago Daily Tribune (1885-1899) and the Inter-Ocean (1908-1914). While working for the Chicago Daily Tribune he created a series of weekly commentaries on the World's Columbian Exhibition held in Chicago in 1893. Heaton's political cartoons featured current events, frequently focusing on Chicago politics. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Heaton took a break from cartoon work in 1899 to work as an actor and playwright before returning to the newspaper business in 1908. After Inter-Ocean's collapse in 1914, Heaton returned to the stage, acting on Broadway from 1920-1932.</text>
