THE WAUSAU CLUB.

The Project of the Wausau Club has
taken a somewhat different form than
that which was first thought of. The
original plan was to rent quarters, but
there was so much enthusiasm dis
played that it was thought desirable for
the club to own its own home, hence
proposition was advanced to finance the
matter in the same manner in which the
Masonic Temple was built, which met
the appreciation of all concerned. The
amount to be raised was fixed at$15, 900,
and it was resolved to raise this by sell
ling bonds of the denomination of $50
90 each, drawing five per cent interest
annually and running twenty years,
which bonds will become a first lien
upon the property. 1t is the opinion OF
all interested that this charge of $4,000
yearly can be readily met from the dues
and other resources which the club
possesses and that the bonds be safe
and good investment. 1t is hoped to
not only pay the interest yearly but to
also accumulate sinking fund to re-
tire the bonds as may be thought advis-
able, as arrangements are to be made
to make them redeemable on any inter-
est day.
The selection of the site is to be left
to the subscribers of the bonds.
The above is brief outline of what
is proposed to be done in the way of
raising funds. The club was organized
by electing the following officers:
President-C. S. Curtis.
Vice Pres.-W. Alexander.
Sec'y-E. A. Gooding.
Treasurer G.. Flieth.
The directors are the above named
officers and the following named: G..
C. Yawkey, Chas. Edgar, G. B. Bird,
Frank Kelly and B. Heinemann.
TIE PILOT is pleased to be able to an
nounce today, that the $4,000 is
practically raised. There are about
fifty names on the list of subscribers,
all business men of Wausau, and great
credit is due the president Of the club,
C. S. Curtis, for the energetic manner
in which this commendable enterprise
has been pushed to success.
1t now remains to select site and
erect club house thereon. There have
been several optiohs secured but that
which seems to meet with the most fav-
oris the old Manson homestead, at the
corner of Fourth and Mcclellan streets.
This is the handsomest property in
Wausau, being 12Ox15O and covered with
large shade trees; it is close to the cen
ter of the city and in every way desir-
able. 1t may be thought best to take a
site bordering on the Court House
square, which will make the institution
more prominent and more centrally
located, but all this will be determined
by the subscriber to the fund.
All are jubilant to think that Wausau
is to have club house and one which
all intend shall be an honor and a cred
it to the city and a source of pride to
every citizen.

not more than three competing for
each school. In the bicycle and hurdle
races only two contestants from each
side will be allowed owing to the width
of the track.
The price of admission is Is and %

FIELD DAY.
Grand Rapids VS.. Wausau.


Last year, at the Merrill meet, Grand
Rapids was not many points behind us
This year they have one advantage over
us in having almost all of their old men
left over while ours are almost all new
material. Whether we can still win
from them or not remains for Satur-
days contest to tell. The boys hope to
be victorious but expect hard fight
with the glory of conquering strong
opponent.
Our men are working hard and get
ting along finely. The best display so
far has been made in the distance runs
rather than in the dashes. The ham,
mer did not get here on time-has not
arrived yet, and the boys wonder if
they will get chance to practice with
it before Saturday; if it doesn't arrive
pretty soon our opponents are likely to
have an easy time in that event. The
new set of 40 hurdles will all be finished
by Saturday The boys have been
working faithfully for the last two
weeks on the hurdles. Ten is all that
we use ourselves; more are needed for
the meets that each person will run
the same distance in the track The
boys are all IN fairly good shape but
some are still lacking in endurance.
For this time of the year they are in
fairly good form. The bicycle riders
are training every night and hope to
put up fine showing next Saturday.
The entry list is as follows

GENERAL CHAFFE'S VIEWS.

General Chaffee's views OF the situa-
tion are we'll expressed Ill an indorse-
ment he placed upon the findings OF
military commission which sat at
Fernando de la Union, Luzon, and
tried Francisco Peralta. a leader of a
band of insurgents. on the charge OF
murder. Peralta admitted that his
bolomen lived within the lines of the
United States forces, wearing the or
following peaceful occupations. The
band came together at night for the
purpose summarily killing those of
their neighbors who were friendly to
the American Government. Peralta
stated that he had killed seven men
in compliance with the general orders
of bis superiors. and he claimed that
all natives friendly to the Americans
were traitors. General Chaffee con
tinued:
'Insurgent soldiers in ordinary
civilian dress lurked about and among
the American garrisons. With de-
ceptive cunning they obtained cedulas
from the American authorities, and
while abiding their chance to surprise
and assail American troops orassas-
sinate their neighbars who were
friendly to those troops, pretended to
be peaceful neighbors and good
friends. What is true of the locality
of these crimes is known to be true
everywhere throughout all the prov
inces that have joined the insurrec-
ton. But when a whole people delib-
erately adopts a methed OF waging
war contrary to the recognized laws
of war. those laws, following the en-
lightened and humane sentiments of
the most civilized nations, do not
sanction that ii sentence of exter-
mination shall issue against a whole
people.

cient, this is the opinion ofcompetent

Ma jOr Chaffee, commanding the Mill
tary Division of the Philippines, be-
lieves his present force ample, their
statements are not in accord with Of
fetal expressions General Chaffe has
made and which he has reported to
the department.
General Chaffee says that the whole
people of the Philippines are engaged
in making war upon the United
States. The few Filipinos who are
friendly to the United States are
those holding office, and the officers
who discussed the situation to-day
assert that their loyalty will continue
only so long as they have the oppor-
tunity of drawing American dollars.
The Filipinos have established their
bravery by attacking with belos
American troops whose gallantry is
unquestioned and whose ability to
shoot straight has been shown by
the thousands of casualties suffered
by the natives.

indicate that there had been no par

ten of them.

A Missing Will.

1t is understood that the late John
H. Coleman of the Evening Chronicle
left an estate valued at from $1,000 to
$4,000 representing his savings since
he arrived on the Comstock about IS
years ago. About three years ago he
made will, bequeathing his property
to various institutions in this city and
California. Since his death an active
search for this will has been prosecut-
ed by interested parties, but all traces
Of it have disappeared and it is feared
by those acquainted with the eccentric
disposition of the deceased that he de-
stroyed it before his death. The wit
nesses to the document were ]. NJ.
Davis and the late Frank Sullivan.
We have it on the authority of Com
stock legal light that if both witnesses
to the will were alive the estate might
be distributed according to their recol-
lection of the contents of the will, but
as is we'll known to all Comstockers,
Mr.. Sullivan has been dead for nearly
two years.-Ieport

important Mining Suit.

Yesterday morning in the u. S.
Circuit Court, before Judge Hawley,
the case of the Occidental Con. Min
ing Company VS.. the Comstock Tun-
mel Company, was argued. The Occi-
dental Company claims damage to the
extent of $4,000 for alleged viola
ton of contract, by refusing to permit
plaintiffs agents from working in its
tunnel and thus depriving plaintiff from
deriving any benefit from its contracts.
1t appears that the contract alleged to
have been violated was entered into
between the Chollar and Potosi Min
ing Companies and the Tunnel Com
pany, and plaintiff while referred to in
said contract has only an incidental
interest in it and the principal question
argued was whether if third party has a
cause of action in a contract between
two others unless such contract IS
entered into for its benefit without
allegations OF fraud, undue influence
or mutual mistake.
The case was argued by W. E. F
