Race Begins at 9:30 : EEEEEEEEEECEEEEECEEFCECEE FEFEEEEECEEFEEEEEEEEEEEE Race NIGHT Bt. Paul, July 2.—The Republluan' state convention, in & brief and har- monious session, nominated the follow- ing state ticket: For governor, J. F. Jacobson, Mad- ison. For lieutenant governor, A. 0. Eber- ‘hart, Mankato. For secretary of state, Schmahl, Redwood Falls. For state treasurer, C. C. Dinehart, Slayton. For attorney general, Georse T. Stmpson, Winona. Yor railroad and warehouse com- missioners, Ira B. Mills, Moorhead, and C. E. Blmquist, Rush City. The promised contest over the nom- Ination for governor did not mate- rialize, Messrs. Young, Snider and Heatwole withdrawing, and only Ja- cobson’s name was presented to the convention. When the convention was called to order the nomination of J. F. Jacobson for governor appeared inevitable. A few minutes before Attorney General Bdward T. Young withdrew from the contest and announced that he would second the nomination of Jacobson. In his speech calling the convention to order State Chairman Cole, brother of the late Albert Cole, the defeated Republican nominee two years ago, asked the party, in his brother’s name, to be loyal to the ticket nominated. Julius Judge John H. Steels of Hennepin oounty was placed in nomination for temporary chairman. He was elected by acclamation. Judge Steele made but a short speech: As there were no contesting delogations the committee on creden- tials was dispensed with and the tem- porary organization was made per- manent. The resolutions committee was then appointed, but before it had retired to make its'report nominations for governor were declared in order. Former Congressman Frank Eddy of Sauk Center placed J. F. Jacobson of Madison in nomination. “The only refleation any one has been able to cast on our candidate,” he said, “is that he eats ple with a knife. “He is a rough, rugged natured man. We could not have him any different if we would and we would not if we could.” The speech of Mr Eddy was fol- lowed by a great demonstration, which became overwhelming when Attorney General Young rose to second the nomination. . Samuel P. Snider of Hennepin coun- ty, one of the candidates for governor, lowed Mr. Young' in seconding the nomination of Jacobson. A motion was then made to nom- inate Jacobson by acclamation, but it was ruled out of order, as Joel P. Heat- | wole had not withdrawn. As Mr. Heatwole’s name was not oresented to the convention the ch: POTATO RAGES AT THE GOLISEUM THIS EVENING One of the Most Exciting and Novel Skating Races Ever Pulled Off in This City. There will be a potato race at the Coliseum this evening—a feature that will be duly appreciated by the patroas of the rink. The entries of the race will be boys under 16 years of age, and the manner in which they will go after those potatoes ‘‘won’t be slow.” The potatoes will be placed in piles and the boy first completing trans- ferring his pile will get the money. ‘This race, on skates, is a novelty and creates no end of amusement. This race will undoubtedly draw a large crowd. e The people of Bemidji appreciate the efforts of the Coliseum manage- ment to cater to the pleasure and entertainment of patrons, and a splendid patronage has been ac- corded Messrs. Kinney‘& Wyler. The potato race will be called at 9:30, and there will be skating before and after the race. Music all evening by the Coliseun band. Mrs. Sargeant Buried. Mrs. Frank Sargeant, a sister of Mrs. K. Mclver of this city, died at her home in Marionette, Wis., Tues- day morning, after suffering with a} cancer since last Christmas. The body of Mrs. Sargeant was brought to this city last night and the funeral was held from the McIver home this morning. The remains were quietly laid to rest in Green- wood cemetery, Reverend White con- ducting the services at the grave. Mrs. Sargeant leaves a husband, a daughter, and two sons tp mourn her passing through that ‘“‘door whose curtain never outward swings.” POPULAR BEMIDJI FOLKS MARRIED AT ST, GLOUD Lester E.

BEMIDJI MEN INVENTS SELF-TYING APPLIANGE D. “Backlund and P. J. Russell Will Exploit New Invention, Which Is Full of Promise. D. Backlund, through his at- torney, P. T. Russell, has secured a patent for a self-tying appliance which is intended to do away with S R P S eges. It is intended chiefly to be used in postoffices and mail cars for tying bundles of mail, and will be a great saving to the government, once it is in use. One appliance will last four years and can be manufactured for a trifling sum. Messrs. Backlund and Russell are going to bring the appliance to the That representatives of the United States Steel Trust have discovered and traced the southern arm of Mes- seba iron range, and have located the range in Hubbard county, south of Bemidji, is almost an assured tact, judgirg from the efforts being made by parties from Duluth and St. Paul to secure options on lands in the vicinity of Lake George and La- porte, varying from ten to twenty miles south of Bemidji. For some time past there has been a rumor to the effect that the Steel Trust had representatives in the field going over the country thoroughly from Colraine and Bovey in a southerly and southwesterly direction, attempting to locate the south arm of the Messeba range, which it is claimed, had been lost track of somewhere in the vicinity of Lake Pokegema. Within the past two weeks Bemidji parties who own lands near Laporte and west toward Lake Itasca and in the vicinity of Lake George and Lake Hattie have been approached by parties who have offered to buy STEEL TRUST TRYING T0 GET HUBBARD CO. LANDS Claimed that Western Arm of Messeba Iron Range Has Been Discovered in Northern Hubbard County, Few Miles South of City of Bemidii. the lands outright or to secure options on the mineral rights of the lands in that vicinity. In fact at least three men in this city have been offered very liberal sums for their property interests in northern Huhbard county. Word comes from Schoolcraft lake, |a few miles south of Lake George, to the effect that unknown parties have unloaded a diamond drill at that point and are starting to prospect for ‘ore. The movements of the party are shrouded in the utmost secrecy, and no strangers can get |any iuformation as to exactly what is being ascertained relative to deposits of iron ore in that vicinity. ‘There are many rumors relative to the finding of ore in northern Hub- bard county, some of which are probably hoaxes. The fact remains, however, that representatives of the Steel Trust have béen very active during the past two weeks in attempt- ing to purchase land in the Lake George country, which indicates that ore deposits have been located in that vicinity. ties at once, and they expect that the government will investigate its worth, Bemidji Lost Ball Game. Bemidji lost the baseball game played at Thief River Falls yester- dav against the Thief River Falls hall team, the score being 4 to 1 in favor of Thief River. Thief River did not earn a single one of their runs, all of which were obtained on “boots” and muffed flys by the fielders back of the pitcher. Baumgartner and Roy were the battery for Bemidji at the beginning of the game. Only three hits were made off Baumgartner, but despite attention of the posgolfice authori- this fact, in the seventh inning Manager Washburn pulled out “Baum” and put in Freeman, a recruit who has pitched for Biwabik. One hit was secured off Freeman and he made wild pitches which netted Thief River a run.- Freeman played second base before he went on to pitch and booted several _ grounders that cost runs. Bemidji out-hit Thief River Falls, getting five hits to their four, but errors were responsible for the loss of the game. Baumgartner’s pitching was all right, but the boys fell down behind him, and the $100 purse went to Thief River Falls. Hallet and Bergen were the battery for Thief River.
