Congressman Mondell of Wyoming
won a victory today by eason of per
sistency. a y a Washington special to
the Omaha Bee. For the last two days
he has endeavored to call up his bill
extending the time which entrymen
shall have to make final residence on
the Shoshone reservation, which was
opened to settlement on August Is
last. The bill as passed provided that
final settlement should be made on
February Is, but so many demands
were made. coming from Nebraska,
Iowa, Kansas and other nearby states
on the part of intending settlers that
it would be impossible to take up final
residence during the worst part of win
ter that an extension was asked.
Tried to Rattle Wyominsite.
Mr.. Mondell fought this bill through
to a finish. He had two complete
knockouts by reason of objections to
consideration which displaced it for
the day. On one occasion the objec-
ton came from Mr.. Fitzgerald of New
York; on another from Mr.. Mann of
Illinois, who seemed to have been band
ed togetherfo the purpose of rafting"
the lone congressman from Wyoming.
In no wise discouraged, Mr.. Mondell
called up his bill this morning, having
seen the opposing interests in the
meantime, and his bill to extend the
time for final residence to May l.
1907, was passed.

 Charles Hamilton, the young Texan sky pilot, came precious near losing his life when he fell 300 feet with his acroplane to the beach board walk. He escaped with a few bruises and good shaking up. and when. after three minutes, he got his senses together, his first lament was for his cigar.
 When the aeroplane began to descend Hamilton said afterward all the flag poles below him brstled threateningly like bayonets, and the big red flag on Breton Inn seemed huge danger sig nal Downward he nuttered with in- creasing speed until the aeroplanes heavy tow-rope fouled the top of the 46- foot flagpole near the Bales house and broke off four feet of wood as if the pole were plpestem.
 As his flyer descended Hamilton clung to tho rope seat, his arms over his head, his feet wide apart Joking like a tre- mendous bat in flight. A corner of the aeroplane struck corner of the roof of the Bates house plaza, and breaking off, got wedged between the building and ilag-pole, where 1t looked like big wind- mill that had ceased to revove.
 As Hamilton neared the beach he turn cd upside down and he struck the board walk head foremost and hurt his chin and arms, but luckily his right leg caught the force of the fall.i That force was so great that when his right foot hit the board walk place of his boot sole was torn off.
 The breath was knocked out of Ham, ilton's body As he lay scarcely breath in IT "a mi off his ceat and made pillow for him. But before physician could reach him Hamilton opened his eyes and cussed about his Havana
 Hamilton was three minutes In the air, and tho ascent was far from 6 failure. The trouble was that instead of the 6O- horse power touring car owned by J. c. Conway of New York towing the aero- plane, 1t came near towing tile auto. The combined weight of the aeropiane, Hamilton and 800 feet of rope caused the car to slip backward when the chauffeur tried to shift from first to second speed.
 Hamilton says he will repair the aero- plane and go mp again. Then. probably, two big cars of at least 9O-horse power each will be hitched together to tow the flyer, one car to be used as an anchor if need be.
 Hamilton dropped into the Hudson riv- CT at New York with Israel Ludlow's aeroplane last August. and fell 5000 feet at Clifton, N. J. He took today's ex- perience as a matter of course. When he flew for Ludlow he called himself PhfIip C. Campbell.

 America has too many churches Towns which might be we'll administered spirit ually by one clergyman or two, have six, eight or ten. No one of the six or more congregations can pay for a good preach CT. Few of them can pay all the cost of any preacher however poor. Nor can any one of them pay for all the time of their spiritual leader.
