such materialism somewhat daunting, she
went to India in 1877 taking with her the devoted
Colonel Olcott. Here the society took firm grip
on life and began to increase nightly: Colonel
Olcott's dgnifed and sincere personality added
much the general credit of the organization, and
consistency given to the intellectual side of the
esoteric movement by his keen mind and his grasp
on the significance of of the tangled of
facts and powers and psychic capacities of Madam
Blavatsky.
She practised her marvels, had air-sent letters
from the mountains of Tibet, produced teapots
from under her chair, walked about Familiarity with
visionary masters" and the Hindus bowed down
and worshiped her She ostracized by the
white population of Madras for her association with
the natives; but this was far from disadvantage
her in the eyes of the outside world. She wrote
vigorously with the furious energy of all her actions,
spreading far and wide her doctrines and it was not
long before she was heard of.
She and her Theosophical Society became vastly
important. People who believed in her and in the
strange mixture of Buddhism, spiritualism, and
Blavatskyism which she was developing were
becoming more numerous and people who intensely
disliked what English review called roundly

accusations of fraud. The Theosophical Society
fiourshed like green bay tree, and its detractors
racked their brains and the dictionary for epithets
vigorous enough to apply to it.

a sort of Hindu retreat in India where she
worshiped by white robed, brown skinned acolytes,
and when she wanted change she went to London,
the stronghold of conservative conventional feeling,

every thing is done that Mr.. Gels

HAPPENINGS IN IOWA
INFANTS BODY is FOUND.

Children Were Using the Corpse as
PIaything.
The shrunken and dried-up body
Of an infant presumably not more
more than week old was found
by children in Melrose Park, a
suburban addition to Marshalltown.
The body was turned from under a
pile of garbage in which the children
were digging with sticks.
Thinking it was some other animal
than human being, the children tied
cord about its neck and began drag
ging it about, until its identity was
discovered and they were stopped by
a woman of the neighborhood. She
summoned the police and an inquest
was held. The coroner's verdict was
that the babe had been killed by a
blow, which produced fracture at
the base of the skull.
Physicians who examined the body
say that the babe was from five to
ten days of age when y was killed. 1t
had been where it was discovered for
upwards of a month. The police are
searching for it's murderer.

STRIKERS ARE ENJoINED.
Restrained From Interfering With
Railroad Company's EMPLOYEES.


In the federal court at Sioux City
Judge Reed issued an order charging
the temporary writ heretofore granted
restraining the striking boilermakers
at the Oelwein shops of the Chicago
Great Western railway from in any
way interfering with the colnpany's
property or employees. The petition
that the restraining order be en-
larged to temporary injunction was
presented in court by attorneys for
the road, who alleged that strikers
were committing acts of violence
The strikers later voted by large
majority to abandon the strike and
made many individual applications for
their old places. 1t is believed that
this action will break the backbone
of the strike, which extended over
the entire Great Western system.
