For His Sons Wife Gets Him
Into Trouble.
CHARGED WITH POISONING NIS SOY
And the Wife Was Arrested CHARGED With
Being an Accomplish.

Robert Blocker, the father, and
Sarah Blocker, the wife Of Flint
Blocker, who was poisoned at the
Jail about two weeks ago, are hav.
ing an examining trial before JUS
tice Gallagher today, being charged
with assault to commit murder.
The PAL ties are all negroes.
The prosecution will attempt to
prove that the elder Blocker wished
to elopewith his sons wife, and to
this they attribute a motive for the
alleged poisoning by the old man.
Readers of The News will re-
member that Flint Blocker was
locked up in Jail several weeks ago,
charged with assaulting his wife,
his father being mixed up in the
quarrel; that food was brought
Blocker by his wife one evening
and that he became very i'll imme
diately after eating it, and that Oh
examination, 'sho we'd symptoms Of
poisoning. Flint Blocker claims
that his father had been intimate
with his wife, and he believes there
was scheme laid to do away with
him, 80 that his father could take
away the girl.
DR.. Dreise, county physician
testified for the state tina. he called
to see young Blocker at the all at
s O'Clock IN the evening and that
he fQpndSim foalning attie mouth,
the heart beats being 30 to the min
ute, the eyes were fixed and staring
the arms rigid. He thought the
man had been poisoned and pre-
scribed for him accordingly, lie
did not make an analysis, but
thought the poison, if it was poison
might have been caused by verdigrls
from cooking utensils, or rat poison
from flour. If it had been lie the
victim would have tasted it in the
food.

ing for the state and MIR. j. W.

Who Claims to be Il Knight
Of PythiaS,
THE GEYSER CITY LODGE
And Rakpd in a Small Pile Of Silver Half
Dollars.

The members OF Geyser Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, are camping on
the trail of one CDR. Banks" who
has another alias, and forty-one an
cry men threaten to make it hot for
the alleged doctor should they see
his deceptive face -sad--fear his oily
tongue again.
Geyser Lodge is composed of re-
spectacle colored men, who were
instructed to 60 through medical
examination, as is demanded of peo-
pie who desire to Join bent fetal as
sociations.
About the time they received
these instructions DR.. Banks loom
ed no, claimed that he was Knight
of Pythias, resident of Louisiana
and a genuine practitioner of the
healing art. Being all brothers of
the same order the "doctor" was
reasonable and agreed to make the
examinations for 80 cents each.
His proposition was agreed to and
fortyone members were declared to
be good, sound men, fit to join
the order, after depositing the half
dollar with the Louisiana physician.
All this happened last April and
but little has been seen of the ex-
aminer since that time, although he
has fitted into and out of Waco at
rare intervals. The members of
the lodge soon got "onto'' Banks,
or whatever his name is, and were
examined by reputable white ply
stefan.
This morning George Campbell,
who had fifty.cents' worth of the
wiley examiner, encountered the
latter on Sixth and Jackson streets.
When Campbell asked the artful
dodger "where he had been at" the
fake doctor stated that it was no.
body's business. When he was re-
buked for his unfraternal action,
he got sassy" said that what he
had done was all right, he could
do it again, and nothing could be
done with him. On being threat.
eHed with prosecution he even
pulled a gun and tlourished it about
Campbell who, with several other
brother members of the Geyser
Lodge, appeared at police head
quarters and asked for the arrest of
"Dr. Banks" for carrying pistol.
The cops are after him and he
will no doubt be soon in the
"cooler."
Banks is described as being a
brown colored man, of medium
height weighing about l35 pounds,
rather dressy, usually wearing a
beaver hat, although be condescends
to the unprofessional derby now
and then, and they do declare that
his tongue swings on pivot.
Banks was arrested at the resi-.
dence of Elder Denton, of the A.
M. E. Church, and locked up this
afternoon.

When Wives We're Cheap.

In the London Times for tile 18th
OF July, 1907, mention was made
that a butcher had exposed his wife
for sale in Smithtield market. near the
Ram 1n,' with q halter around her
neck and one about her waist, which
tied her to a railing. A hog drove,
was the happy purchaser, paying the
husband three euineas and a crown
for his depated rib" A few dayslater,
commenting on this sale, the Times
said: "By some mistake in our re.
port of the Smithfeld market We had
not learned the average price fol-
wives for the last week. The increas-
ing value of the fair sex is estimated
by several eminent writer's AS n GER
tain criterion OF increasing civil
cation. Smithfield has, ON this
ground, strong pretensions to refined

SHE TURNED THE TABLES.

How a Little Homely knowledge
Saved a Young Lady Much Dis
comfort.
A young lady through her knowledge
OF house-witery rather turned the
tables upon a would-be jester one day
last summer and let that individual,
who was of the male persuasion, into
a little secret, Of considerable import
ance to those who have occasion to
work in the kicthen as amateurs,
says the New York Herald.
The two were members of g. party
visiting an Adirondack camp in Sar-
anac lake region. Every one was we'll
acquainted and the days passed
merrily away until heavy rainstorm
drove the ladies and the less enthusi-
astic fishermen i%ndoorsand compelled
them o seek other forms of amuse-
ment.. The rain continued to fall
almost without intermission for
several days, and as a means to re-
lieve the monotony the gentlemen
already referred to proposed that
the various members of the party try
their hand ct cooking the next meal.
Permission was obtained from the
host, the members OF the party laugh.
ingly agreed to the proposition, and
the guide, whose duty it was to act as
cook, was for the time sent about
other business. The gentleman acted
as chef, and, with O knowledge OBJ.
tanned from serving on the house COM
mittee OF a prominent New York club,
proceeded to assign various work to
his aids and appointed the younglady
first vegetable cook for the express
purpose Of making her peel onions,
the odor of which she ioathed.
When the party adjourned to the
kitchen to begin preparations a large
supply Of strong-odored red onions
were brought to the lady ard she was
requested to remove the outer cuticle.
The acting chef and the others who
had been let into the secret made
merry over the supposed discontinue
of the first vegetable cook, but the
latter smiled sweetly and uttered no
protest.
Bring me a deep pan," she said
to her helper, and when this was
produced she filled it to the brim with
water. Then she tucked up her sleeves
to the elbow, showing just the pref
test pair of arms in the world, and
removing her rings set to work peel
ing the onions under water with a
dizziness that showed how familiar
she was with the work an6 'depriving
it OF all it's ofensiveness.
1t was a revelation to the man, who
ha9iooked either for a vigorous pro-
test or had expected to see the eyes
ofthe vegeta able cook water from the
effects OF the on OH juice. The anna
teur dinner was in every way a success,
but none of the cooks achieved O
greater triumph than the one whose
practical experience showed to the
others the common.sense method Of
peeling onions.

A PHYSICIANS Views,

A physician OF high repute declared
one day that if it were in his power he
would pass a law that all women's
garments should hang straight from
the shoulders. The Greeks of old, as
all know, were the very highest types
OF manly and womanly beauty, and
very much of this perfection of form
was attributed to the loose. beautiful
style Of dress they wore. A few even
ings later the doctor and his wife at
tended a social gathering, and the
latter was attired in u straight-falling
costume, a la Grecque. The effect,
says one who was present, was not
beautiful; it vas not even quaint, but
peculiar to a degree, affording another
proof that theories reduced to prac.
tice do not always justify the expert.
