Born a Slave, This Old Negro Wore the
Gray Through the War.
There are not many negro Confed'
crate veterans. One of them, George
Mcdonald of Monegaw Springs, Mo,
will attend the Confederate veterans
reunion at Clinton, Mo, Septem Der
%, and he will probably oe the only
negro veteran there. Mcdonald is q
member of Novel Spangler camp.
He has an interesting history.
He was born a slave in Mcdonald
county, Mo. He enlisted in the con-
federate army as tesmster in the
ordnance department in 1861, at
Cowskln prairie, and served through
out the war. In the battle at Helena,
Ark, he was severely wounded He
was found on the battle field by
Lieut.. Snuffer, who knew him as a
brave soldier and who knelt down
beside the negro and asked:
"Can I do anything for you,
George?"
''For Gods sake get me drink of
water" the negro gasped. The
ieutenant's canteen was empty. He
hunted for water and found well,
but the bucket was gone. The we'll
was forty feet deep to the surface of
the water and was walled up with
stone.
Lieutenant Snuffer took off one of
his long cavalry boots and. gripping
it in his teeth, worked his way down
the we'll by using his toes and fingers
in the crevices between the stones.
He filed the boot with water and
climbed out with it in his teeth. The
wounded negro drank from the boot
as he would from q bucket and he
declares to this day that it was the
sweetest drink that he ever took -

Torture, She Shot Him Dead.
Post-Dispatch.
-Four years ago Allie Mcdonald.
the wife of Jim Mcdonald, a Chero-
kee Indian, disappeared from her
home, near Checotah, I. T.
She was a white woman and very
beautiful.
Her husband accused a New York
artist named Smith of having abb
Quoted her, but recent developments
shew that the Indian kidnapped his
own wife and kept her fastened and
guarded in a cave for four long
years.
Under pretense of searching for
her the Indian spent nearly the
whole of his wife's fortune, but in
reality he was squaudering the
money on race tracks and gay wo
men.
Lately his wife was rescued from
her cave As soon as she was free
she shot her husband for his cruelty.
No effort was made to arrest her
and none will he made.
The girl comes under the juris
diction of the Indian courts, and the
Indians refuse to prosecute.
Four years ago last Monday Allie
Madaris, the beautiful daughter of
Jack Madaris, was married to Jim
Mcdonald, near Checotah, I. T.
Allies father was quite wealthy,
and he started his son In law out in
the cattle business.
Ten days after the wedding Jack
Madaris died under mysterious cir
cumstances, and it was limited then
that his son in-law did the killing.
Closely following her fathers
death, Allie suddenly disappeared.
Mcdonald appeared greatly moved
by both events and offered $1,000
reward for the return of his WIFE,
Then he sold all his father in-law's
property, excepting a 1,000-acre
ranch, and started east to capture
and murder the white man who had
stolen his wife
Mcdonald was gone three years
and half Last winter he returned
to Talequah and told the inhabitants
he thought his wife had been MUIR
dered. Detective Dunkin did not
believe this story. but kept a close
eye on the Indian.
His patience was rewarded on
May 81, when he followed Melon
aid to hut on the side of hill, Is
miles southeast of Talequah. After
the Indian had left Dunkin went to
the place and forced the owner, a
full blooded Indian named Six
Killer, to turn over the keys. After
a good deal of search Dunkin found
a door leading into cave, and there
he found Allie She was nearly dead
from solitary confinement and her
clothes were in rags.
She told the officers she has been |
placed there by her husband, who
had tired of her and wanted to keep
her fortune. She was given plenty
to eat and treated we'll under the
circumstances, but had no hope of
ever being rescued.
The woman was Is when she was
put in the cave, now she is old and
infirm in appearance.
She was taken to Sloan Springs,
Ark, and given money on which to
dress and fix up. Then she return
ed to Talequah.
One of the first persons she met |
on the street was her husband. She
shot him dead Everybody seemed
glad she had committed the deed.
She has had her property, that is
such of it as was net sold by her |
husband, restored to her, and is
now living peacefully among the
Indians.

Filthy Drinking Utensils.

pr. Woods says The drinking water is fruitful source of disease. Im- pure water should not be allowed within reach of fowls. It is DO un- common sight on poultry farms. other wise well kept. to find the water yes sells in filthy condition. Putting clean water into foul reeeptacles is labor wasted; yet we not infrequently see on poultry farms dirty wooden tubs or unclean metal vessels contain ing uninviting drinking water. On a farm which l visited recently the fowls are supplied with running water in a metal trough. Judging from the con- dition of the trough, and the aecum- ulated filth and slime, it had not beer cleaned since the plant was built-seY- eral years; yet the proprietor was un- able to account for bowel troubles anG other ailments to which his fowls were subject. We cannot be too careful about the drinking water. It should be such as we would be willing to drink ourselves, since it plays an im~ portant part in the makeup of the fowl and of the egg. Metal water dishes, if kept clean, are all right but glazed earthenware ones are better. They should be so made that they can be easily and thoroughly cleaned should be we'll rinsed each time re- filled, say twice or three times daily Once a week they should be washed and sealded.
