THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , MARCH 22 , 1907 The Old "Hoodoo" Doctor. Otlior doctors tuny cure you if you nre stricken with eoino din- ease , hut there is only one doctor who van rnre ynn f > IMI ro really "hoodourd' ' The "hi'Miln.i il.K-toi" in n t-nl. gumit inn ! en. 1 veloiiH lookup negro. with \vcnhh of l < uii > , wn\y hnir mid he lives in thu WestSidi' Hf in i fmnilinr liuim' on the streets of boih riti.'H , mid ins iri nbly carries n littlf blpck hind Tlie huiidnn dm'tur id held in awe by nine tentlin of Ihe negro population , and IIIH services are in denuind by the people of lin ) ta-e. Yon may l > mgh at us for be- lievinu in our hoodoo doctor , " bttid one colon \voiinn"bnt ) what is the diU'erein-e between him and the divine lu-alor of the white folksy" The negro people , or at lo'iHt a great tnnjority of them , are firm bolieversin the power of the evil spirit and go HO far as to credit Koino of their race with the power \to "conjne" an enemy , or one of whom tliQ conjurer IH joaloua. When such a person pays a Bocial cr.ll to stippobed friend , the K first thing necessary after the visit fteeording to the hoodoo doctor , is to throw course salt over the floor of the room in which the alleged Conjurer has visited , and then , with a vigorous movement , sweep the salt casl and west , and north nud south and whiln the I IE. sweeper mutters an incantation known only to the hoodoo doctor and to his patients. The next step is to send for the hoodoo doctor the quicker the hotter , in order that the conjurer I may not Imvo time to got in his deadly work or to work any material - ial harm to the health or to the happiness of his victim , When the hoodoo doctor arrives upon the scene he goes through ( basalt sweeping process again , nnd calls upon the evil spirit to depart instantly. His visits are preferably made by night , but , whero.thiH IB impracticable , the I/I room wherein lies the victim of the dread hoodoo is darkened. The hoodoo doctor then proceeds to rub his patient olways in the dnrk and the evil spirit ho rubs out of a conjured patientare said to bo marvelous in si/e and hidi- ous to behold , Aflf > r tlio rubbing process is over the lioodpo doctor prepares n concoction of hard boiled eggs , fresh gross in summer or the dried article in winter , n handful of twigs and several other mysterious and more or less un palatable ingredients , the eoncoc- tion a secret known only to the hoodoo doctor. This he feeds in xtablespoon doses until ho is as sured that the work of the conjurer - jurer has been destroyed , and hie patient free from nil the wiles tc which victims of the evil spirit art heirs. Once a negro has been hoodooed he is apt to have a iceurrent at' tack at any time , always beiny ir.cro or less suseeptile to Hit wicked conjurer. Thus is tin hoodoo doctor in such great de mand. \ "People can be hoodooed it different ways,1' said the hoodoc doctor. " be 'fixed' . "They can sc they never can have success ii business or love or be able to keei h n even fairly good health , am they just got to get that hoodoc out of 'em before they ever will bi nny good. That's what's tin matter with lots of the white folks failures , only they think they ar too smart to bother with a hoodo dqctor. " Broke Her Arm. One day the latter part of th week , Mrs. S. Daniel , of thi city , had the misfortune to sli on an icy walk and fall. The force of the fall resulte in the breaking of one of her arm and otherwise injuring' her in painful manner. She went to Falls City to hav the fractured member re-set I an osteopath at that place. A < cording to last reports she w : getting along nicely and it not thought that the injury w result in a permanent disabilit ; Complies with all requirements of the National Pure Food Law , Guarantee No. 2041 , filed at Washington. "For over thirty years,1' writes n gentleman in Los Angeles , " I have used Arbucklcs * ColTcc. Many times my family lias tried other coffee only to come back to our old reliable , unchange able Atbucklcs. ' No other coffee has this uniform never failing aroma , I care not at what price. 1 have often wished I could tell you this. " Many other people have the same opinion. Albucklci' was the firtt roasted packcged codec , and its tales exceed all the others put Beat Farmer Out Of $2,500. Two men , one with a satchel full of money and three cards , caused a prominent German liv ing north of town to lose $2,500 says the Garnett News. Con tinuing , the News says : ' 'The game and how it was worked was thus : A week ago lasj : Mon day , a tall man , who claimed to be cx-jndge of Franklin comity , stopped at the home of the farmer and wanted him to show him some land , saying that he wanted to buy some for a widow client , and , not knowing the land , would pay him to go and show him some good farms. They went out and looked at several and as they were returning home met a small man , who did not appear to be very bright. The man had a satchel and claimed he was hunt ing a sister who lived near Scipio. The fellow said that he and his sister had inherited some money and he wanted to give hcrSl.OOO. and opening the satchel , showed that he had the money with him , and six thousand besides. In some manner , according to the storv of the farmer , the man with the money had three little cards in his hands , and was bantering the farmer and the supposed land buyer to see if they v-Otiui pun u certain card. At first they pulled for fun , and afterwards each bet S5 and "won. The small lellow said he was ure they could not guess the ight card again , and said if they id he would give each of them 3SOD. Of course they won , but he man said he would not give hem the money unless they howcd an equal amount. This , ) f course , they could not do , but he thing looked so easy that the and buyer persuaded the fannei o go to town with him and bor- ow the money. This they did , LMie farmer going to the Citizens State bank , and the land bttyei omewhere else , which of course ic did not do. After securing he , money they drove out tc vhere this fellow was staying tear the bridge , and showed hin heir $7,000. The land buyei hen placed his $2,500 in a tii box. put the1 farmer's $2,500 ii ind the half wilted man gavi hem his $7,000 to put in. While this was going on tin 'armer and the land buyer wen sitting in the buggy , the bugg : of course , belonged to the lain nan. After locking the box , In put it under the seat , then takiiij it out , but here was the trick. II took out another one , and toll the farmer that he had bette keep the money while he drov his half-witted fellow to towi and put him on the train , so h did not say anything as he di < not want the people of Pranklii county to know that an ex-judg was up to such a game. Af te putting the man on the train h would come back , and they woul divide the money at d o'clock The farmer took the box home The man failed to show up at ( or for three days , and the farnic wanted to see the $14,000 , so h opened up the box , but instead c money found only paper an s POWER THATTURnroTMCWILOfR- v-w nty irtro THE GREATEST RICHEST upon together.

Sparks was there to prosecute L. L. Abell , of Auburn , Nebr. , arrested for dis turbing the peace. Abell , the testimony showed , went to the Sparks home a week ago and inquired for one Mitchell. He was to sell a farm to Mitchell , he said.

He offered it for a nominal rental and we jumped at the chance. We invited him to dinner. After , ward T Bent Mrs. Sparks to see Abell nnd ho annoyed her. " Judge Kyle was interested.
