Confederate Dead at Alton.
(St. Louis PoSt-DisDatch.)

A thousand cape jasmines from the
South and hundreds of roses from the
North were strewn over a green meadow
at Alton. H., May 81 by COM
pany of men and women acting the proof
that peace, indeed. hath her victories no
less renowned than war.
This meadow, without mound or stone
to mark the grave of any, is the burial
place of $500 Confederate soldiers who
died at the Alton military prison during
the civil war. For almost 40 years the
meadow was waste field, overrun and
unkept.
The cape jasmines came from Gran
bury, Tex. They were the third shipment
of the kind from Sherman Post of the
G. A. r., i'll which the moving spirit is
William III. Cats. TO him it is due that
this old and forgotten and unclaimed
cemetery has within the last three years
been surveyed, fenced and marked with
q United States claim board.
The flowers from Texas reached Alton
this year upon Memorial Day. They
were taken to the old cemetery the next
afternoon. The local Post of the G. A.
Il. led the way. There was prayer, a
song. an address or so. Then the flow
ers were laid. 1t was a beautiful senti-
ment and service, but decorating the
graves was pitiabe for there was moth
ing to show where any single soldier or
where n flower might be dropped. So the
jasmines and roses were sown in the
grass, tossed here and there over the acres
Of little valleys and hills.
Mr.. Cats brought about at Alton the
organization of the Confederate Gene
terry Association, and some of the promi-
nent citizens of Alton have assisted him
through this association. Prominent
among these is H. ]. Bowman. Mr.. Bow
man is the President of the Association.
He interested the United States Quarter
master at st. Louis in the erection Of the
fence. and has personally looked after the
care of the land.
Mr.. Cats and Mr.. Bowman are
anxious that monument be built at AL
ton for these Confederate dead. Mr..
Cats has made this proposition to many
of the Confederate and G. A. r. Posts of
the South, and he believes the monument
will be built. He wants every Post of
the North and South to- give a stone, the
gifts of the one to be blue and the other
gray. Then he would build of these the
monument, putting it out on the Prospect
street hight, where 1t will overlook the
river and the site of the old prison in
which the soldiers died.

heavy iron crcssbars, forming checkers
about four inches square. Our only hope
was to cut the wood from around the
screws In the lower hinge of the door, so
that we could shove the door far enough
from the posts to squeeze through.
We were about to commence our work
when we heard the sound of footsteps and
mems voices. In an instant We settled
quietly down upon our hard board hunks.
We heard the heavy bolts slip back, key
was thrust into the lock and the door
opened with heavy, grating sound, and
a stream of light from lantern entered
the room. 1t was the first ray of light
we had seen since darkness had set in.
The Orderly warned US before leaving,
and in very mild voice, of our danger
if we should attempt to get away. He
then went out, closed the door, locked it,
and slid the bolt into its socket.
Here was a new difficulty facing us.
Several of our comrades, frightened at the
information of the Orderly, declared that
they would not try to get away, saying
that if we did, and should be captured,
every one of us would be shot in the
prison room. One man declared that if
we attempted to escape he would call the
guard. He believed that it was his duty
to do so, not only to save himself, but to
save every one of US from certain death;
but the other nine of us were determined
to escape or die in the attempt.
Selling the bowie knife declared
solemnly: 'The first man that makes an
attempt to call the guard will receive this
in his heart" OF course, would not
have killed the man, but felt that escape
was possible, and determined to frighten
the weaker ones into silence, if they would
not join US in our efforts. The threat
