State find that money, to raise which
they, in common with the whole
country, arc taxed, is expended for

VIM. Walters, Il convict sent up from
Belleville on iive-year sentence for
burglary, made his second escape
from the southern Illinois peniten-
tiary at Chester. About three
months ago he made his escape
through the sewers of the prison, and
led the officers a 5.days' chase through
the wilds of Missouri. and was finally
captured at Charleston, Mo. Since
that time he has been planning the
escape he made Monday morning.

penitentiary is the best i'm the United
States, 1t being constructed upon
scientific principles, with the very
best ventilation, double-grate doors,
double-locked cells, with accommoda.
tions for 500 men, and an officer pass
ing the galleries all through the
night. 1t is considered perfectly
safe. Walters sawed the cell door
with his case knife, climbed to the
top of the cell block, cut into the
ventllating pipes, worked his way to
the roof, and with cOttOn-string
rope, which he manufactured from
cotton strings and yarn. lowered him.

ton Of our readers To the fact that Col.
Phillips. Mr.. Anderson's predecessor.
labored long and hard for just such an
enactment rs Congressman Anderson
has in view. Through the ColOnels
efforts the bill passed the House three
tunes. but he could do nothing with it
In the Senate. And il was for this
artion of the ColoHeI's that the X. p.
railway company made special effort

compass the defeat of the Colonel for
denomination to Congress. Ii Mr..
Anderson is entitled to any credit for

more than double credit for being the

ing pertinaciousiy pushed 1t until his
bill had passed the House three times.
