Prof Alguire the Phrenologist,
who has beeR visiting the principa,
towns of Idaho within the past few
months, is in Blackfoot this week and
lecturing 10 crowded houses nightly
at the Baptist church. The interest
evinced in his lectures is shown by
the attendance. His subjects for the |
remaining evenings of the week and |
for the first evenings Of next week,
cannot fail to attract even larger au-
diences than have already attended. |
The partial examination of heads at |
the close of each lecture gave some
happy hits and his recommendation
OF tall, lank, red-headed partners OF
life TO a lady and gentleman made
the audience uproarious. The Prof.
has private hours for examinations
and charts and parties desiring to
consult him can find him at the church
at those hours. Prof. Mikesell, also
a Phrenologist, who reached the city
during the week is assisting Prof.
Alguire in his examinations.
