a novel task is being performed by
Charles A. Eastman. He is q full
blooded Sioux Indian, q highly edu-
Gated man and the husband of white
woman of conspicuous refinement cul-
ture and talent. President Roosevelt
picked him as the man best fitted to
give modern American names to
Is, 600 Sioux. 1t was necessary to
change the names of Indians because
they are owners Of valuable lands and
inextricable tangles oyer questions of
inheritance would be otherwise ine-
vitable AS far as possible DIR.
Eastman has retained the meaning OF
the original Indian names. "Matos-
ka" is = Sioux word meaning ssswhite
bear'' and it answers we'll as an
American name. Therefore White
Bear and his family will be John,
Jane. Louis and Jennie Matoska.
Another family be named Goodhouse
because the head squaw was known as
sshe-who-has- r. beautiful home. /"
He changed "Bob Tailed Coyote" to
Robert T. Wolf and "Rotten Pump
kin" be rechristened Robert Pumpeau

HER0ISM OF MEL VILE MCDONALD
 WHILE WAITING FOR DEATH ANGEL

Heroes said an official of the Louis vile and Nashville Railroad. T can tell you that In nay opinion the whole history of the world does not record the story of a man who met death with more fortitude. or more courage thah young Melville Mcdonald. who was crushed and burned under an sngiue in the freight train wreck which occurred at Castleberry Thursday night at i2 o'clock
 ''Railroad men who were with him, who stood about and witnessed the horror of his position will carry hIa heroic example in their breasts until they, too, are called from the scenes Of earthly endeavor.
 sThe wreck occurred just after lnid- night. Young Mcdonald was on the running board of the engine when It hit the caboose of the train ahead, ana was thrown under the engine as It fell over, He was caught between the run ming board and the boiler and both limbs. above the knees were crushed against the steam pipes and were roast ed to crisp.
 ''The men standing about him were Nothing could be done un- til the arrival of the wrecking tram and for three hours and thirty minutes the boy suffered the agon'e of death. During all that time he uttered no word of complaint. He talked freely to the men about him. He asked for paper and pencil and wrote letter to his

Men who have not shed tears, possibly In years, wept as they stood about him realizing the awfulness of the agony which he was enduring and yet power less to help him.
 livery thing possible was done for him and for every thing he expressed his gratitude. tell Sou that when I placed my hand on his head. after we had gotten him out and asked him how he felt and he looked up at me and smiled and whispered all right realized as never before Tn my life, that the heroes are not all gone,
 T have seen many sad sights in my experienced have seen men crushed and burned-but I have never seen anything that compared with the cour- age and bravery of Melville Mcdonald and no one of the men who watched about him during those long hours when he was pinioned under the en- zine will ever forget his suffering or tho wonderful courage he displayed in the face of death.

WOMAN IS GUILTY
YOLANDE DEGG IS GIVEN HEAVY
 SENTENCE.
Found Guilty of Murder in Second De- gree for Killing of WOmack- Gets Twenty-fhree Years
 ImPrfaSnment,

Gadsden. Dec 1.--(Specia1. )--The trial of Yolande Degg. which has been in progress in the City Court since Monday morning. came to an end at l0:30 o'clock this morning, when the jury which had been deliberating since 6 o'clock Friday evening returned a verdict of murder in the second de- gree, and fixed the punishment at twenty-three years in the peniten- tiary.
 The heavy punishment was not an- ticipatad by the woman, but she show ed little visible emotion, other than the white pallor of her hard set fea- lures
 The public was not prepared for the long sentence given, but it had be- come evident early in the morning that the masterful argument of the prose- cution would have weight with the jury since they had taken so long to delib- crate but it was thought that a light sentence would be imposed.
 The woman was sentenced and com mitted to jail. The attorneys for the defense immediately filed notice of ap- peal 10 the Supreme Court
 The charge of Judge J. H. Disque was a most masterful presentation of the law, and was universally com mented upon throughout the city as was the powerful arguments of Col O. R. Hood for the prosecution, it be- ing almost universal opinion that the conviction was made through his ef- forts.
 Yol7nde Degg murdered A. WomacH saloon keeper, at a house of i'll fame owned and conducted by her on Locust Street, on the night of December S1 1904 Tn is the first time in many years that a white woman has been convicted of a capital offense in this part of the State. The verdict, while considered severe seems to have met popular approval
