FRANK MONDELL
WITHDRAWAL IS
CAPITALS TOPIC
John Hay Also Retires From
Race; Clear Field for Sen
ator Warren in Primaries.
EDGAR C. SNYDER.
Washington Bureeu of The
Omiht Bh, 1311 U Stmt.
Politically the sensation of the week
was the withdrawal of Representative
Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming from
the senatorial contest and the decision
of Senator Warren to stay in the sen
ate, if the voters of Wyoming will
it that way." Senator Warren will
have no opposition for the republican
senatorial nomination, John Hay of
Rock Springs timing his withdrawal
with that of Congressman Mondell in
order that Senator Warren might have
a clear field in the primaries.
Personally Senator Warren wanted
to retire to private life, his large busi
ness interest needing much of his time
and be':eving that he had been most
signally honored by the republicans of
his state he conceived the present as a
most opportune time to "step down
and out," thereby permitting some
other aspirant for senatorial honors
to make the race.
With Senator Warren out, Con
gressman Mondell seemed to be the
logical successor, having had 20 years
active service in the lower branch of
congress, with a reputation for con
structive abilitv second to none in the
membership of the house. John W.
Hay, the Rock Springs millionaire,
also had an "itching" to make the sen
atorial race and the fight between
Mondell and Hay was well under way
when suddenlv the entire political at
mosphere cf Wyoming changed over
night, and Warren will make the run
ning on an American platform and
. that his state needs him in the senate
because of his commanding position
On commmces, 'mu i"'
counsel during the continuation of
the war and during the reconstruction
period when peace comes.
Renominate Mondell.
With Warren the republican candi
date for senator, there is seemingly
but one thing for the republicans ot
Wyoming to do and that is renomi-
nate Representative uuuuc... -holds
as commanding a position on
commttees in the house as. Warren
does in the senate. .
Mondell is third on the minority
side of the appropriations committee
and should the house be republican in
the 66th congress and G.llett of Massa
chusetts be elected speaker, Mondell
would hold a very high place on the
appropriations committee. He is also
second on the minority side of the
woman suffrage committee..
The republicans of Wyoming, realiz
ing that if Mondell should be elected
to the senate he would necessarily
have to go to the foot of every com
mittee to which he would be assigned
by the steering committee, and further
appreciating the high place Senator
Warren holds in the upper branch
they thought the time propitious for
Senator Warren to withdraw his
declination to be a candidate and keep
both Warren and Mondell m their
respective places. We will see in
November whether the advice of
Wyoming republicans was good
"dope" or not.
Permanent Metal Markings.
Xo doubt you have seen them, these
circular brass caps two to four inches
in diameter, each marked with the
name and insignia of the particular
ich it belongs, and nrm-
ly attached to a granite boulder or
mounted on the top of a metal bar or
tube, scattered along tne roauSluc
wherever Uncle Sam's scientific or
land suveying experts have worked.
To the initiated they convey all sorts
of valuable information, from the pre
cise levels and scientifically accurate
geographic locations of the coast and
geodetic survey, the elevation and
contour lines of the geological survey,
to the land corners and boundaries ot
the public land survey which guide
the homesteader in determining the
particular section, township and range
of his new home upon Uncle bams
dominions. , , . . ,
We have had all of this informa
tion and markings for years, but un
til the adoption of the present metal
monuments referred to, this data was
in such unintelligible and perishable
form that its value to the uninitiated
was practically nill. Now it is uni
form in each service, plainly marked,
easily identified, readily informing
and practically indestructable.
For development of these per
manent metal markings, the value of
hi-h u henmine more and more to
be realized by the public, credit be
longs to F. W. Mondell, memner oi
congress from Wyoming. Before
he came to congress Mondell had
traced land lines and hunted land
corners, generally, only to find the
wooden stakes destroyed or decayed,
and the obscure markings on casual
stones erased or the stone displaced.
He had found the elevations and con
tour lines of the geological survey
plain and definite enough on the topo
graphical sheets of the service, but
unmarked and impossible of location
on the ground when in irrigation or
mining development he sought them
for practical purposes.
Credit to Mead.
, Mr. Mondell gives the credit for his
inauguration of the plan of permanent
markings to Elwood Meade, then state
engineer of Wyoming, now irriga
tion expert of world-wide reputation.
Desirous of making it possible to
fully utilize surveying data through
permanent monuments on the ground
the new congressman-elect consulted
Mead with regard to a permanent
system of survey markings, and out
of the consultation came Mr. won
dell's suggestion t6 Uncle Joe Can
non, then chairman of the committee
on appropriations of the house of rep
resentatives, of an amendment to the
appropriation bill providing for metal
contour and elevation markers for
the geological survey.
, The idea appealed to Uncle Joe at
once, but not to the service. They
argued against the expense and
covertly suggested that the oroposed
change might be interpreted as a
reflection on past methods. But in
nite of misgivings and opposition the
plan was finally tried ouf, and with
such satisfactory results for all con
cerned that it soon became a per
manent policy.
If you find one and ate not expert
enough to understand just what it
means and the exact information it is
intended to convey drop a letter to
the headquarters in Washington of
the service whose name it bears, de
scribing its distinguishing designa
tions and markings nd by return
mail you will be notified, exactly
where it is on the earth's surface, its
exact' elevation above sea level, the
tract of land it bounds, depending
on the office and purpose of that par
ticular monument or marker. No
doubt the idea would have eventual
ly developed, but the fact that it did
develop when it did is due t the
fart that th Wvomine congressman
suggested it to the chairman of the
committee on appropriations in 1895.

Girl in City Hall Graft Probe
Accepts Elmwood Bear as Bribe
United States Marshal Flynn was
the center of merriment in the city
hall, when he was mistaken by a lit
tle woman for one of the defeated
city commissioners.
"You city commissioners are graft
ers and I am glad that the city is to
be cleaned up," she announced by
way of a conversational opener.
"Yes," assented Flynn, piously.
"We'lJ remove our things from the
city hall and then our smaJl part in
the melodrama of politics will be
over."
"It's horrible how you've made
money out of the public utilities. I
heard that you made a mint of mon
ey," interrupted the suffragette.
"Well, of course," Flynn replied,
"Jardine has a new watch and Hum
mel has a new vacuum cleaner,"
"Yes, and how did they make it?"
she asked.
Flynn opened his eyes ingenously
and replied: "Why, didn't you know?
They sold Elmwood park."
The woman was puzzled for a
moment and then she asked: "Didn't
they have to turn the money over to
the city?"
"Oh, not if they made the sale after
S p. m. after office hours, you
know," was the answer.
While the woman continued to re
late how "they" had robbed the city
blind, Flynn cast a calculating eye
on the window shades.
"I wonder how wide those are?"
he mused. "I think they will fit my
windows at home. .

"And say, John," addressing the
j'anitor in mock seriousness, "roll that
rug up at 11 o'clock tonight and I'll
have a van call for it."
"What about the desk?" Flynn
asked one of the honest-to-goodness
retiring commissioners who hap
pened into the scene. "You'd better
take that; I took the other one, you
know."
And then the goddess of justice
fell. She stepped down from her
throne of political purity and the feet
that once had trod the path of mu
nicipal righteousness, now marched
with the "grafters."
"And what do I get out of it?" she
& sited coyly.
The' men smiled. "What do you
want?"
"Oh, I don't know; what have you
got?" as she looked around the room,
but the rug, desk, chair and even the
shades had all been spoken for.
"I'll tell you how'd you like a
pet bear. They have them out at the
park and they'll probably be giving
away the live stock," Flynn suggest
ed. "Oh, wouldn't that be just too love
ly for any use!" cooed the clcan-our-city
evangel. "But I don't know
whether mother would let me have a
bear. Guess I will telephone and ask
her."
The men chuckled while mother
was being importuned for permission
to let her bring home a Teddy bear

To buy them food and clothing, too,
While they are fighting hard for you.
To buy them ship to eros the ea,
On errands of world liberty;

To train against the wicked Huns;
To buy them lot of shot and shell.
To whip the Hohensollern well.

HUMANITY NEED
NOT DIE, SAYS
MISS NEVILL
"Attaining Eternal Life," was the
subject of the address delivered Sun
day morning by Miss Kate M. Nevill,
of the Unity School of Christianity,
before the Omaha Unity society.
"In line with all new movements,"
said Miss Nevill, "this message of the
attaining of eternal life is humanity's
final demonstration in the problem of
life. Strangely enough, three inde
pendent lines of investigation are at
the present moment pending to the
one conclusion, that humanity need
not necessarily die.
Spiritual, philosophical and physical
science authorities were quoted in
support of the idea and perhaps tlie
one most appealing to the lay mind,
was the report of the recent investiga
tion of Dr. Alexis Carrel, who ob
tained the Nobel prize for his dis
covery that under certain conditions
livino- animal tissue was "capable of
indefinitely renewing its youth, and
that no death was natural, not ac
cidental," "due entirely to the over
accumulations within and around the
living tissue of the waste products
resulting from its own growth.

BRAVE U. S. MAJOR.
KILLED IN T0UL,
IDOL OF SAMMIES
With the American Army tin
France, Thursday, May 9. Major
Andrew Rasmussen of Portland, Ore.,
who was killed a few days ago while
leading a reconnoitering party on the
American front in Ticardy, was the
idol of his men because of his utter
fearlessness.
He passed unwounded through rev
olutions in Central America and more .
severe fighting with General Carran
za's forces in Mexico and finally,
through two years of service as a
major with the Canadian army.
He was detailed by the British last
October to assist in training Ameri
cans in bayonet lighting and later
was sent to an American army school
as an instructor. In January he was
transferred to the American army
with a major's commission.
Major Rasmussen immediately was
given command of a battalion and
went into action on the front north
west of Toul, where he suffered slight
ly in a gas attack.
On the night that his battalion was
moved from its billet into the line on
the Picardy front Major Rasmussen
joked with several correspondents
while the German shells were burst
ing in the village, a few kilometers
in the rear. He told them they might
have his uniform, helmet and other
things in case he was killed. Then
he rode laughingly toward the
trenches.
