Mill Kuipc says tli" republican
party has traded for Freeman
Miller. Well you are welcome to
the goods, but you had better
get them from underfoot before
they are damaged any worse.
Freeman Miller's paper and
the Stillwater Gazette have
exactly the same twang; must
be they are drilling together
no »v.
To be sure, Freeman E. has
not been able to harness Hon. J.
L. Burns and hitch him to his
grafting designs; therefore he is
against him.
The democratic party of Payne
county is a united party; but
some things in the county are
not united to the party.
Isn't it strange that a man as
foul as Freeman Miller would
have tho audacity to question
the record of other rren?
The Gazette says it can't quote
Judge Eagleton's figures. It is
to the Gazelle's interests not to
quote the Judge's figures; they
Hie a deadencr to tho repuoli-

The hoodoo doctor 1a held In awo by j
nine teutliH of tho negro population |
and Ills M'rvleen aro In demand by iho |
people of hla race.
"Von may lauch at un for believing
In our hoodoo doctor." said one colored
woman, 'but what Is the difference be-
tween him and the divine healers of
wlillo folk*?"
The negro people, or at least a great j
majority of them, are firm believers in
tno power of the evil spirit and go so
far as to eredlt some of their raco with
tho power to "conjure" an enemy, or
one of whom the conjurer is jeal-
ous.
When such a person pays a social
cull to a supposed friend the first thing
necessary after the visit, according to
the hoodoo doctor is to throw coarse
salt over the floor of the room in which
the alleged conjurer has visited, and
♦hen, with a vigorous movement,
Biveep the salt east and west and north
and south, the while tho sweeper mut-
teVs an incantation known only to the
hoodoo doctor and to his patients.
The next stop Is to send for the hoo-
doo doctor—the quicker the better, In
order that the conjurer may not have
time to get in his deadly work or to |
work any material harm to the health
or the happiness of his victim.
When the hoodoo doctor arrlvcB
upon the scene ho goes through the
salt sweeping process again and calls
upon the evil spirits to depart iu-
stanter. ills visits are preferably
made at nl^ht, but where this is im-
practicable the room wherein lies the
victim of the dread hoodoo is darken-
ed. The hoodoo riottor then proceeds
to rub his patient—always in the dark
—and the evil spirits he robs out of a
conjured patient are said to be mar-
velous in size and hideous to behold.
After the rubbing process is over the
hoodoo doctor prepares a concoction
ol hard boiled eggs, fresh grass in sum-
mer or the dried article in winter, a
handful of twigs and several other
m> sterious and mtire or less unpala-
table ingredients, the concoction a se-
cret known only to the hoodoo doctor.
This he feeds in tablespoon doses un-
t.l he is assured that the work of the
conjurer has been destroyed and his
patieut free from all the wiles to
which victims of the evil spirit are
heirs.
Once a negro ha < boun koodooed he
is apt to have a i econunt attack at
any time, always being more or less
susceptible to the wicked conjurer.
Thus Is the hoodoo doctor in- t>urh
great demand
" People can be hoodooed ia different
Mays." said the hoodoo doctor "Tbey
caa be Used" so tbey can amoaat to
iBvthinK or bave aay rarrrM ia basi-
mw or lore or be able to keep la fair-
ly fnrd bealtb. wad tbey jw got to
