Its a Cleveland chainless Cleveland used that large ball end spoke. And four holes for head badge. Also a Cleveland handle bar stem and bars.
Thank you very much!!! Are badges hard to find?? There is also a hole in transmission cover, that could be weld filled and nickled
 
Do ya happen to have that badge ed??
Here's a little help, what your badge might look like and a bit of info on the cabe with a couble more: https://thecabe.com/forum/threads/need-help-with-a-cleveland-badge.54944/ . I gots the feeling you gonna have big trouble finding the right one as, when searching the net, no can find a 'bevel drive chainless' by Cleveland. H.A.Lozier MFG Co. So, it's not just the badge but the correct number it would have too.

And there's this at Old Bike with chain drive and plenty info: http://www.oldbike.eu/museum/bikes-1800s/1898-1899/1899-cleveland-model-47-mens-bicycle/

And this is interesting, must have been made right when Pope/Westfield/Columbia took over Cleveland. Yet more interesting, with your bike, makes me wonder: if your bike was branded with a special for chainless, already made during the take-over, that had top and bottom screw of Westfield's , a very, very rare badge it would be: @ Mister Columbia's site: http://www.vintagecolumbiabikes.com/id89.html
