The Plainfield Courier and Western Advertiser Mixes Local News and Theosophy
A period piece itemized survey of local industry, astronomy notes, and a chaotic blend of political opinion. It reports wheeling window- giving in Wheeling, Jupiter shining, and mentions kidnapping chatter. It notes the death of Alexander Grant, pegged boots, and Illinois contentions. It touches Count Catalan, reciprocity and protection, Yellowstone springs, Deer Island prison riot, and the free silver plank of several states. Mme Blavatsky reappears through medium Eugenie Beate, with Theosophical debate and spiritual art claims amid mixed reactions.
