construction. The walls, ceiling and
floors of the cells are of special tool
proof steel, made under strict super
vision, and tested by drills every six
inches and on the edges by saws.
Each cell is eight feet long. six feet
wide and eight feet high, and resem-
bles nothing SO much as a steel pigeon
hole, the several cells being arranged
in rows in tiers, four high in each
story. The walls between the cells
are composed of two quarter.inch
plates, between which is riveted a
sheet of lead to deaden sound and pre-

prisoners. The floors are covered
with two-inch bluestone slabs, in two
pieces, with rubbed upper surfaces.
The stones are imbedded in cement
and mortar and the points packed
with hemp and then run full of molten
lead. Each cell contains steel bunk
fastened to the wall, hinged steel
table, steel shelf and two clothes
hooks riveted to the wall. The in
terror of the cell is painted white
and cream. The doors are fastened
with three locks-a dead lock, snap
lock and lever lock, all of which
may be used separately or together.
An airing court is provided on the
fourth story, which is used for an ex-
ercising place for prisoners.

Alstaetter's West Point Class Rino.

Lieutenant Fred Alstaetter, now on
duty at Fort Leavenworth, had an I'M
usual experience while in the Philip
pines" said Mr.. Percy H. Longley, of
Topeka, Kan. "Alstaetter was taken
prisoner by the Filipinos soon after
the war broke out over there. He
was pretty well treated, but was
closely watched. His possessions. in
GLIDING his class ring, a memento of
his life at West Point, were taken
away from him. The cadet and later
the officer, always prizes his ring
highly. and it Is traditional that he
must never allow it to go out his pos
session, except when he lends 1t to his
sweetheart or his wife. Alstaetter
was kept prisoner for several
months. and finally was exchanged.
His possessions, in the meantime, had
apparently disappeared. Last fall. a
negro who had deserted from the
American army was captured with a
bunch of Filipinos. When he was
brought into camp a heavy gold ring,
with huge setting and coat of arms.
was found on his finger. which had
to be cut of before the ring could be
removed. 1t happened that a young
ofhcer recognized the ring as Alstaet-
ter's, who, in the meantime. had come
back to this country When Gen.
Funston started back. the ring was
given him to deliver to its owner.
When Funston was taken sick on the
coast he turned 1t over to another Off.

ourRAN HIS GREYHOUND.

spriati ting Record.


81 Just came down from Estes Park"
said Edgar Wilson this morning. "and
while there | saw man who once out
ran a greyhound. l heard the details
Of the experience from the mans own
lips, and IL was vouched for by half
dozen residents Of the park.
THE man was Fred Sprague, the
most popular ranchman in the park
and also the owner of one of the finest
ranches. Sprague is a great character.
Every one is fond of him and every
one has implicit faith in everything he
says. His own story about the grey
hound is about as follows:
81 was out with the dog hunting
deer and was beating about some
quaking asp bushes when of a sudden
the dog began to bristle up, and growl.
! couldn't sec anything at first, but 1t
was not more than a minute before
big grizzly bear, the biggest | have
ever seen and l have hunted few
around in these mountains. stepped
out of the bushes not more than fifty
feet from me.
1t was up on the fiat tops" back
of the house here | only had one shell
in the gun and that shell was not man
ufactured for bear, especially for big
grizzlies when they are nearly on top
of you. l looked around for tree and
there was none handy. About this time
the dog made up his mind that he
couldn't climb a tree anyway, and de-
cided to light out.
"'You know the fiat top" is pretty
steep mountain, and the dog took
straight down the slope. Well, when
saw that dog start l started, too. l
took one look at the bear and he was
ambling right along in my direction,
and l could see him grin.
1.-The dog had the start of me, and
led for the first 200 yards, and then l
passed him. For few seconds after
ward | heard the bushes crash and the
stones roll behind me and wasn't dead
sure whether it was the bear or the
dog and didn't slack up to see. l could
tell from the noise that | was gaining
and before | got to the camp at the
foot of the mountain l couldn't hear o
thing coming. 1t was three minutes
afterward when that greyhound got
into camp.
There were four men in the camp.
and all of them swear that Mr.. Sprague
did not exaggerate. They say they
saw him coming down the mountain
and each step he took covered q dis

He was recalled and placed on wait

On account of his age he was not
called into service although he was

the Spanish navies were so effectual-

MAY FORCE
POPULAR VOTE FOR SENATORS

Much interest has been aroused
in congress by the publication of the
fact that joint resolutions have
been received from six states de-
claring in favor of a national CON
vention to frame an amendment TO
the constitution for submission to
the states providing for the election.
of United States senators by direct
vote of the people.
Senator Burrows, chairman of the
committee on privileges and elec-
tions. is the most persistent and out
spoken advocate in either house of
congress of the proposition to elect
senators by popular vote. He thinks
there is no hope of inducing con-
gress to submit TO the people the
amendment for the desired change
in the method of electing senators.
and says even his own committee
has been reorganized in opposition
to the proposed plan.
The only hope of success. there
fore, Mr.. Burrows thinks, lies in ac-
ton by the states, and he for one is
willing to take the risk of n national
convention if this is necessary TO ac-
complish an object so dear to the
hearts of the American people.
If congress will not listen to their
appeals, the senator holds, the
states will be entirely justified in de
manding that n convention be held
The opinion seems to be that should
such a convention as is now being
demanded by the states be called,
which is thought to be unlikely,
there would be no serious discussion
of any more radical amendments to
the constitution outside of that re-
Iating to the method of electing
senators than those dealing with the
clauses added TO that instrument as
the result of the civil war.
While the sentiment in congress in
opposition to the holding of n ma
tional convention is overwhelming,
there is no denying the fact that
under the constitution n convention
must be called if two-thirds of the
states demand it, and this they seem
to be doing at rapid rate.
