pressed surprise at hearing from
the person addressed, believing
| that he was lost or had passed
away; was sorry that he (the re.
cipient) had been pinched on the
charge of robbing a bank; might
have been sent up if he couldn't
have proved his innocence; that
he must have made a haul some
where, and to answer soon; from
his brother.
The body was taken to Lahr's
undertaking rooms, where it will
be kept, pending the notification
Of the parties mentioned in the
notebook; and examination by
the coroner.
Just in what manner Berry
met his death is unknown. The
condition of the body leads to the
belief on the part of some that it
had been in the water but few
hours. The fact that there are
no wounds or serious marks
would indicate that Berry had
been drowned and his body
washed ashore under the bridge;
and be may have been walking on
the bridge and fallen off into the
water, the fall stunning him and
rendering him unconscious and
death ensuing before he recov-
cred. That he was not hit by
the train is very evident. No
one about the depot or the mill
has seen anyone walking on the
bridge prior to the passage of
any train.
A search Of the body brought
out pocketbook almost filed
with nickels and there we're
other nickels in another pocket.
There was a brush broom, a
razor and a strop, and many
articles to indicate that the man
was in the habit of taking care
OF himself without the aid of
toilet articles, etc., in a furnished
room.
A few of those who have
looked at the body believe that
they have seen Berry about
town, but were not acquainted
with him, and pending replies
from the parties mentioned at
Pitts burg and Marion, not much
will be known relative to the
unfortunate man.

Governor Delivers an Eloqutn Mt Address
at City Hall to a Tremendous
Crowd.
BASES PLEA FOR VOTES on
RECORD WHILE IN OFFICE
Drainage, Insurance, Railroad Rates,
and Timber Trespass, Themes
Discussed.

John A. Johnson, governor of
Minnesota, paid his compliments
to Bemidji last night in his cam.
paign tour of the state, and be-
fore an audience of fully 1000
democrats and republicans, made
his bid for votes.
1t was the largest gathering
that has ever turned out to greet
an aspirant for Office in the
history of the city. The large
hall was crowded, downstairs
and gallery, and scores of people,
! unable to find seats in the main
room, stood patiently for over an
hou.' in the hallway and on the
stairs outside. =
The speech was worthy of the
great gathering. Whether one
differ politically from Mr.. john
son, or not, it is only fair to say
that his effort was a masterpiece
of oratory, Thesarray of argu-
ments was logically arranged,
the language was choice and the
periods we're rounded; while over
and above all, the pleasing, silver
voice of the speaker, the delicate
shades of accent, the studied
simplicity of gesticulation,
wrought a spell around even the
most com monplace remark.
Governor Johnson's theme was
my Record" or why I Should
BE Returned to Office" and from
the viewpoint of a Johnson man,
he certainly made out a strong
case.
His first plea was for independ-
ent voting; or one might say, for
voting for the man and not the
party. He wants republican
votes, he must have them or he
has no chance of winning. No
one knows this better than
Governor Johnson, and his whole
speech was pitched in a key to
captivate the republican voter.
His record as governor as
stated by him last night is: First,
that he has enforced the law
against the timber thieves and
brought suits in court which
have resulted in the state re-
covering $4,000 for timber
trespasses; second, that he has
forced the railroad and ware.
house com mission to secure a
reduction on freight rates from
the railroads; third, that he las
wrought insurance reform; and
fourth, that he vies with Mr..
Cole as an advocate of drainage
and good roads.
Governor Johnson arrived in
the afternoon on the $50 o'clock
train, and was tlken at once tC
the high school, where he ad.
dressed the teachers and the
pupils. He left this morning for
Wadena, where he makes an ad.
dress tonight.
P. j. Russell presided over the
meeting and after a few words o1
welcome to the audience, called
upon Judge Pendergast.
The Judge spoke briefly, say,
ing that the time allotted should
be given to the governor; but he
wanted to impress one thing or
his hearers, and that was tina,
Governor Johnson was a friend

speech. He had been with Judge
Pendergast during the pastthree

ROWING AT WISCONSIN.
Abandonment of the Poughkeepsie
Regatta Strongly Urged.

MADISON. Wis, December 15-Max
Loeb secretary of the Wisconsin Alumni
Association and editor of the Alumni Mag
azine. has issued a statement in which he
strongly advocates abandonment OF the
policy of sending crews east TO participate
in the interco legiate regatta at Pough-
kecpsc
He declares the natural field of athletics
for Wisconsin is in the middle west that an
intercollegiate rowing assoc alton should be
orgLni-ed by such of the big western uni
versitlca as have aquatic facilities; that a
series Of races should be held between
crews representing the different depart
ments of the university; that an eastern trip
Is expensive; that owing to natural difficult
ties Wisconsin is unable TO acquit itself
creditab Y at Poughke epsie, and that the
advertising which the university receives by
sending crews east is not an adequate re-
turn for the expense and trouble incurred.
Coming IL does on the eve of the Oro-
posed request by the board of regents for
the employment of n crew coach, the state
ment of Mr.. Loeb Is causing comment. The
regents will pass on the question of Il coach

ROWING AT HARVARD.
Six of Last Years Crew Will Be
Available.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. December l5.-Work
has been given up for the year by Harvard
watermen, and the interest in this division
of Crimson sports lies, for the present
with the future. The launches have been
drawn out of the water and the floats
taken up, both at Weld and University boat
clubs preliminary to the idle season that
will intervene until after the mid-year eX-
aminations. The new Weld clubhouse will
hardly be ready for occupancy by the
spring and the old house will be left on
the present temporary site.
The prospects for Harvard rowing In 1907
are considered to be up to the average, and
the more optimistic look for a more sue
cessful season than the one just closed.
Six members OF last years crew and three
from the four-oar will be available. Other
promising material is in sight, including
Faulkner and Lunt of last years fresh
men eight, the two substitutes who were
taken to England with the crew last sum-
mer
A greater than usual amount OF rowing
material for 1907 is expected. owing TO the
continuation of the interdormftory race
system inaugurated last year. This has
proved successful in keeping the men on
the river in greater numbers this fan thal
at any previous time in the history OF
Crimson rowing. In addition, the pumping
races and graded crew contests have az
forded opportunities for the budding water
men to pursue the sport to any extent de-
sired.

YALE WILL Be THE
HEAVIEST LOSER
How the Big Five Foot Ball
Teams Will Fare Next
Year.
Six of the Blues Will Be Lack

Next Fall.

With the foot ball season of 1906 at an
end eastern men are anxious to know how
the members of the Big Five will fare
next year. Yale is the heaviest loser, as
six of her best men will be absent when
practice starts next fall. Princeton is like
wise heavy loser, for five of her star line
men will graduate in June. Harvard has
rather a discouraging outlook. Her 1907
team, If there is one. will be without Capt.
Foster and Lockwood in the back field;
Kersburg, the big guard: Frazer, sub
center. and Osborne and Pierce, the tackles.
Pennsylvania is lucky in losing only Quar-
terback Lawrence and Left End Levene.
Cornell has the brightest outlook of all
losing only Newman, her center. The fol-
lowing line-ups which were the way the

ranch which he has purchased in the
Province of Alberta, British Columbia, with
thOroughbreds The ranch consists of 5000
acres, and the climate of Alberta is similar
to that of California, where James R. Hag-

Bowman invested in the ranch directly after
