LECTURE ON PHRENOLOGY.
Mr. Bronson of East Kent lectured at
the Center schoolhouse on Friday even
ing on phrenology to so or 80 and was
listened to with marked attention. He
examined two heads at the close of his
lecture, Mr. Catlin, teacher of the Center
school, and Mr. Schnell, secretary of the
Grange. 1t afforded some amusement
The lecturer has studied the subject with
considerable care and many of his Illus
trations were forcible and the incidents
related pertinent. He spoke of Gall. the
celebrated phrenologist, born in,175S and
who died in 1928. He was a physician
and attracted much attention by his an
atomical and physiological inquiries re-
specting the brain and nerves. He set
tied in Berlin, but afterwards travelled
and delivered lectures and in 1907 es-
tablished himself,in Paris. Matternich,
the great diplomat, consulted him as
his physician. He died at Paris 1928, di-
recting that no clergyman should at
tend his funeral and that his head should
be dissected and placed in the museum
he had collected. Whether the venera-
ton was large or small it is not said, but
it would seem that while this faculty is
to direct to the Divine Being, he did not
favor that class of men whose duty it is
to present to their fellowmen the charac-
ter of God. Combe on the Constitution
of Man George Combe) says under ven
Grafton, 81 assume here, that Phrenol-
ogy enables US to demonstrate the ex-

siologist and becoming acquainted with
DR. Gall, the founder of phrenology, be-
came exceedingly partial to this science,
and joined Gall. He lectured In En-
gland, Scotland and Ireland and then
came to this country and died in 1882,
four years after Gall. He is said to
have been a man of rare benevolence
and integrity. Here endeth the first

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1895-01-25
WHISKY WINS.
LUCIEN BAKER FOR u. S. SENATOR.
KANs.s REPUBLICANS ELECT RABID ANTI
PRoHIBITIONIST.

The agony is over. A United States senator
has been selected to take John Martins place.
The fight waged by the opposing candidates
was lively, and, though clark horse" won,
one candidate, at least, is not pleased j. Rats
Burton, who started in with blare of trumpets
and over-awed the opposing candidates with
display of pyrotechnics and gall has slipped
great big knife up his sleeve, and swears that
he will haye revenge. One of the objects of
his hatred seems to be E. N Morrill,, and the
present prospect is that Morrill, will get it in
the neck two years hence.
And, by the way, this E. N. Morrill, was a
candidate for senator, but he had to give up all
hope because of bargain with the liquor men.
The Kansas City Star of the 2Ist inst says of
his candidacy: "Many politicians have not
favored Morrill's nomination, for it would mean
the succession of Lieutenant-G Governor Trout
man to the governorship, which would be vio-
lation of the campaign bargain with the Ger
mans, that Morrill, should not permit their
ancient enemy, and the champion of prohibition,
to become governor"
The liquor men would have been very we'll
pleased with Burton, which, doubtless, accounts
for his very large following in the legislature,
but the old soldier element got on their ear be-
cause Burton said, in speech at Wichita, some
time ago, that Jeff Davis was honest and con-
scientious in the part he took in the late rebel
lion. Therefore, Burton was defeated. But it
was necessary to please the liquor men, SO, the
caucus selected Lucien Baker, rabid anti-pro-
hibitionist,. an attorney for the law-defying
gang who want our state turned over to the
saloonists-a man whom, up to this time, has
been called the "Leavenworth hellion" by the
Topeka Capital. Later, Baker was elected SEN
ator by the representatives of ''the only party
that ever did anything for prohibition.
We are not ashamed of Kansas, but we are
ashamed of Kansas Republicanism.

HERE'S THE SNAP.

BROOKLYN is torn up over street-car strike,
which grows more serious as the days go by.
AS is often the case, the strike was instigated
by the railroad company, to reduce the price of
stock and force the small stockholders to sell
at reduced price. They have forced their
employees to work at starvation wages in order
to bring about the strike The employees have
offered every concession possible, but the COM
pauy refuses to treat with the men, but called
on Saloon-keeper Levi P. Morton, the Pluto
cratic governor of New York, for troops to
quell the strikers, and he Immediately complied
with the request. AS result, several persons
have been killed and others wounded. The
railroad company has been so hateful and over
bearing-paying no regard to the wishes of the
public-acted so inhumanely toward the eni-
ployes-that the sympathies of the people are
with the strikers. The New York World, Ad-
vertiser, News and other leading papers con-
denim the company and defend the strikers, and
many business men take the part of the strikers.
Judging from indications, another extensive
strike has just begun.

OVER a thousand farmers in some of the best
portions of the state are about to lose their
homes. Their lands were purchased of the
Union Pacific railroad, and comprise some of
the finest farms along that road; and now it is
claimed that through some flaw, this land re-
verts back to Uncle Sam, and the settlers must
look to the railroad companies to get their
money back. If the railroad company's title to
this particular land is not good, how can it be
good to any of the land along its road2 Why
can't Uncle Sam take back all the land given
to the railroad and open it up to homesteaders2
This late move looks like big steal.
