Contest for Plans for the New
Buildings Ended.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 7.-One Of
the most notable architectural competi-
tions ever known was ended tonight,
when there was rendered what will
doubtless be the final decision in the
Phoebe Hearst contest for plans for
the group of buildings to be erected at
Berkeley for the uses of the University
of California These magnificent
structures as designed will cost between
S10,00O000 and $15000,000, and the
total expenditures required to carry
out in it's completion the idea of erect
ing here the finest educational equip
ment in the world will exceed the
larger sum mentioned.
The winner of the first prize for the
approved design is E. Bernard of Paris
who will receive premium of $lO,UVO
for his plans, in addition to the Gus
tomary architects fees for the superin-
tendence of the construction OF the
buildings, this emolument amounting In
the aggregate to a handsome fortune
The decision of the jury awarding the
palm to the French architect was
unanimous
The other prizes were bestowed III
the following order: Howells, Stokes *
Hornbostel of New York, $1,000; De-
spardelles & Goldman, Boston, S3,OO0;
Howard & Caldwell, NV York, S2,OOo;
Lord, Hewlett & Hull, New York
81 600.
The competition was begun TWO
years ago, and has already cost Mrs.
Hearst about $4,000. The architects OF
the world were invited to send plans,
and about twelve weeks ago, to the

werp. After critical examination there
by a committee of experts, eleven OF the
designs submitted were chosen for the

THE CITY INVADED.
Commercial Travellers Came in
Force and Took Possession.

Many of the visiting commercial
travellers who are to be entertained at
the State Fair to-day arrived from San
Francisco late last night and were met
at the depot by the members of the
local organization.
A procession was formed, led by a
band of music and marched up town.
The knights of the grip halted in front
of the Record Union office, where the
band played "One More River to Cross
Then they marched away to the tune
of "There'll Be a Hot Time In the Old
Town Tonight and it is safe to say
there was. But it will be hotter to-
night.
Several of the more lively ones in the
procession last night executed a cake
walk on the pavement during the sere-
made, and it was a corker. The COM
mercial travellers are all right.
Later on they were enjoyably enter
tanned at the residence of Mrs. F.. W.
Hale. at Thirteenth and H streets. The
Sacramento Council elected Mrs. Hale
a life honorary member of their So
ciety.
Late last night Mr.. Hampel of the
Sacramento Council received a dispatch
from the Los Angeles Council that
their delegation would arrive at Sac
ramento at 11:30 this morning to take
part in the celebration of Commercial

Vilas County news. [volume] (Eagle River, Vilas County, Wis.) 1896-1927, 1899-11-20

London, Nov. 16.-The most inter-
esting, in fact the only news of war
now comes from the western frontier
The accounts of Col. Baden-Powell's
brilliant exploits at Mafeking are form
ing lively and encouraging reading.
Trench work is quite novel in boer tao
tics, and some curiosity evinced as to
who may be directing it. Nevertheless,
both at Mafeking and Kimberley con-
ditions seem favorable. So far as
Natal is concerned the British must
trust to Gen. Butler. Belated dis
patches from Ladysmith, dated Nov Z,
tell of a languid bombardment. The
native rumor that the BasutOs are on
the warpath, which is supposed to have
had the effect of inducing some of the
Orange Free State troops to abandon
the siege and return to their own ter
ritory is also accountable for the
slackness of attempts on the Lady
smith defenses. 1t is reported also
that in the attack upon the Free State
forces at Dewdrop, the beers had 800
killed and wounded. Buffers arrange
ments for the advance from Durham, it
is rumored, are practically completed.
The whereabouts of Butler is not pub
licly known here but he is believed to
be up-country somewhere. Col. Plumer
it is thought has abandoned the at
tempt to relieve Mafeking.
Thinks He Has Enough.
London. Nov. 16.-The trOOpship
Hawarden Castle with a second battal-
ion of Royal Irish fusiliers has arrived
at Durham, bringing the number of re-
Inducements landed there to 5,225.
Five other troopships are en- route
from Capetown to Durham. The total
reinforcements arrived in south Africa
since Friday are 10000, chiefly infant
ry, $4,000 horses and mules, tnree bat
teries of field artillery and number Of
quick firing maxim guns. 1t is be-
lieved Gen. Butler is satisfied the
troops already landed or on the way to
Durham will be sufficient to carry out
his plans for the relief Of Ladysmith.

MILWAUKEE BANK CASES
Startling Orders Signed Last April by

The Plankinten, Commercial and
South Side Bank Assets Involved
in the Embarrassment

Milwaukee, Nov. 16.-SensationaI
disclosures came out of the investiga-
ton of the Plankinton bank assignee
ship before Court Commissioner
Schneider Wednesday afternoon by at
torneys for the banks creditors. By
filing three orders made by Judge
Johnson April receivers of three in
situations, formerly banks, authorized
the settlement claims aggregating
note for the same amount to run eight
months. The Withholding of the or
ders astounded the attorneys in the
case. The first order filed is in the
Plankinton bank assigneeship author
izing William Plankinton to settle a
claim for $123,878 against the Schles-
myers for $1,486; the second in the
case, William H. Timlin against
the Commercial Bank of Mil
Waukee authorizing Receiver
Thompson to accept of settlement OF a
claim of 1855, 439 against the Schles-
myers for $4,385; the third filed in the
case of the Southside Savings bank,
which authorizes settlement for
$6,014 of claims against the Schlesing-
ers reaching $501, 166. Similar state
ments are made in each case. Petit
lions set up Indebtedness and state
that Ferdinand Schlesinger, William
Schlesinger, Schlesinger Bros and
Adolph Schlesinger failed in 1893 for
upwards of 100000. The petitioner
believes all the property of the Schles-
myers have been used to pay their
debts and reports an offer in compro-
mise has been made.
