McCabc Elevator Changes Hands.

a deal was closed this afternoon
whereby new company, to- be
called the Beltrami Milling &
Elevator company, came into pos
session Of the McCabe Brothers
elevator interests in this city.
McCabe Bros. bought the property
from the old Bemidji Elevator com.
pany one year ago but, as their
chief business is buying grain from
the farmers and selling it to the mills
instead of purchasing flour from
mills and selling it to the farmers,
they decided to sell out and devote
their exclusive attention to their
Dakota interests.
The new company will be backed
by H. c. Erwin of St. Cloud. For
several years H. C. Irwin. through
his northern Minnesota representa-
tive; T. S. Erwin, has made special
study of the wants and needs of
lumbermen and others in this section
of the country. He has long enter
tanned the idea of establishing a
branch in the northern part of the
state and has, after due considera-
ton, selected Bemidji as the most
desirable point. -
T. S. Erwin, who has represented
the H. T.. Erwin interests in this part
OF the state for the past five years,
will personally manage the new COM
pany. Thomas Hughes will have
charge of the local office and O. c..
Simons, who has formerly been
travelling for the McCabe and the
Melges Bros companies, will repre-
sent the Beltrami Milling & Elevator
company on the road.
Manager Erwin stated that the
business would be run along the
same lines as those followed by
McCabe Bros. He has made special
arrangements with shippers from the
west and with the St. Cloud company
to furnish him with the very best in
everything and will easily be able to
SUPPLY the wants of his large num-
Der of customers.

ASKING BRYAN TO WITHDRAW
Illinois Man Suggests That Delegates
Prepare Petition.

AiiiiOiS E"ah suggests = Nat Dele9ateS
Prepare Petition.
Denver, July 3.-The friends Of Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota have come
into possession of a letter written to
the delegates to the Democratic con
Vention by Samuel H. Wood of Ev-
anston, ILL.,, in which he encloses a
copy of letter written by himself to
Mr.. Bryan urging Mr.. Bryan to with
draw from the race as candidate for
president and permit the convention
to make selection of presidential
candidate without reference to in
structions. Mr.. Wood explains that
the letter to Mr.. Bryan was written
with the latter's consent, obtained
after three hours interview, in
which he fully presented his views to
Mr.. Bryan. In this letter Mr.. Wood
urged them to get together and pre-
pare a petition to Mr.. Bryan asking
him to release them from their in
structions and permit them to become
free to choose a candidate of their lik-
ing. He points out that Mr.. Bryan
twice has been an unsuccessful candi-
date and that the party should not
for a third time assume the RESPONSE
bility for his candidacy. In the letter
to Mr.. Bryan Mr.. Wood declares that
a majority of the delegates who have
been instructed to vote for him hold
the opinion that he cannot possibly
be- elected. There is no indication of
any movement looking to a conference
such as Mr.. Wood suggests.

more than 600 lives at Batavia was
brought by the Empress of China.
Many large overloaded boats were
overturned in the harbor during a

struggled in the water with no chance
of rescue, as more fortunate boats in
the neighborhood were already too
crowded to permit any others aboard.
Many of those in the water were
snapped up by sharks. About thirty
were rescued by fishermen, but over
six hundred were drowned. During
the week following 359 corpses were
found, many being mut1lated by
sharks

SAY 1T WILL BE FRUITLESS

Backers Of Minnesotan Believe Ne
braskan Desires to Discuss Vice
Presidency, but Declare Their Man
Will Not Take Second Place.
Denver, July 3.-Mr. Bryan has
asked for conference with T. D.
O'Brien of Minnesota, one of the most
enthusiastic supporters of Governor
Johnson, but for what purpose the
managers of the Johnson campaign
have no idea. Mr. O'Brien will leave
st. Paul for Denver at once and has
wired the Johnson headquarters in
this city that he has been asked by
Mr. Bryan to stop off for short time.
1t is supposed by the Johnson men
that Mr.. Bryan wishes to talk over
the vice presidential situation. That
is, at least, the only ground they can
imagine for the request of Mr.. Bryan.
They discounted any results from the
conference, provided it should turn
out to be on that subject, by declar-
ing that Johnson will not consent, un-
der any circumstances, to be consid-
cred as available for the second place
on the ticket.
