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.

"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.

"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 that the city commissioners would give for the asking War Work of the Poets Marching Through Germany.

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.
