Tetl Kirch's Work.
The following from the Gainsville, as, Ncus
will interest the many
friends of Ted Birch, who went from here to Texas a year or so ago: "There are many fine pieces of work in art but no finer work:has ever been done in the broad limits of this state than that now in course of completion in this city. It is a credit not only to this state but to the country. It is a nude picture and represents "Bacchus, the (rod of Wine." This work is being executed by Mr. Ted Birch, of this city, who is not yet 19 years of age, but who is a born artist. The picture, which is 7x10 feet, is as natural as life. The work has been one of three months and is now about complete. It will be exhibited at the Dallas fair and will be a big advertisement for Gainsville. Before the fair Mr. Birch will place the picture on exhibition here that every citizen may see what a wonderful piece of'work can be executed right in our own live little city."

The daughters-in-law of Mr6. Nancy A. Paxton have brought suit against Wilson Hunt and allege a curious state of affairt. In 1S90 Hunt was appointed guardian of Mrs. Paxton, a person of unsound mind. She is now in bor eighty-third year and is as helpless as a babe. When Hunt took "vpofef-esbion of her property she bad a small farm which had been her """"bo-no for sixty years. This was mortgaged for S700 and Hunt succeeded in selling it to Elmer Bennett who assumed the. mortgages and agreed for tho balance of the SI,000 The bar {yarn was struck for to care for Mrs.
I'uxtnn as long as she bhould live. He at once moved into the Paxton ••••"oropsrty and began the care of the old ,'ady as he had agreed. He continued to earc for her properly enough until the 28ill of August when he moved from the place and left the old i&dy Hi ere unattended. Before he •e&'went he sold the place to Wilson Hunt. The daughters-in-law of the old lady, who are plaintiffs, asked Mr. Hunt to provide fcr the aged dependent but he took no notice v"'Oi" the ropiest. They then went in :-au.l look charge of her.

GOVERNOR MOUNT SICK.
Kxliniistcd From Attack
Overwork—SulTer€(l an in HIH Oifice.
Indianapolis
A'civs:
Gov. Mount left
his office this morning, and is confined to his home by illness. While he was at work at his desk he was seized by a blinding sensation, which soon after passed away, and by pains in the back of his head. After he reached home he. was placed in the hands of Dr. O. S. Runnels, who telephoned to the state house that the governor must, have absolute rest for a time. The governor seems to be suffering from exhaustion brought on by continued hard work in his office since he became chief executive. He intended to go to Cincinnati this afternoon, where he was to meet his staff and participate in tho G. A. R. encampment, but his illness has made it neceesary to cancel the engagement. He will not undertake to make any more speeches for some time, on the advice of his physician, but will devote most of his attention to recovering lost strength. It is thought that if the governor takes a rest for some time, he will recover without serious difficulty.
Col. George Studebaker called at the governor's otiije about ncoa to-day, but Mr. Mount was absent The colonel left an invitation for the governor to visit the military camp to-morrow afternoon and review the troops, but sickness will probably prevent this.

Governor Mount Tuesday received the following letter from Col. Harry Smith of the One Hundred and Fiftyeighth regiment now stationed at Knoxville.^Tenn.: "Your telegram received late Saturday night and I did not wire you yesterday on account of it being Suaday, but answered this moruing, saying it was impossible for me to state the time of the departure of this regiment from this place or its arrival at Indianapolis. We are very busily engaged at present in bringing our books up to date and as soon as they are completed wo will most gladly avail ourselves of the privilege of returning to Indianapolis. This morning's sick report shows forty-eight in the hospital and thirty-four sick in quarters My impression of the matter is that all of these men will be able to go to Indianapolis with us. There is no one seiiously siek iu quarters and I think by the time we are ready to start for Indianapolis that the above sick report will be reduced 40 per cent. "We shall secure sleepers for all the sick who are able to travel and bring them to Indianapolis with us. I do not know what arrangement has been made iu regard to camping the troops at Indianapolis, but have heard that they cannot be quartered at the fair grounds- and will either have to go to Fairview park or Broad Ripple. I know nothing of the facilities at either place. No coubb some arrangements can be made to secure one of these two places and my impression is that wo may be able to leave here about Thursday or Friday of this week, but it is possible that we may not get away at that time.
"I will wire you immediately in receipt of any definite instructions or information that I may got from our division commander at this place.
"In securing the location of a camp for the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth Indiana on its return to Indianapolis there is one thing that will have to be looked to very carefully and that is the water supply. Our experience at Chickamauga was such as to make me very careful in regard to this matter. It will be necessary to have an adequate supply of the very best water at our camping grounds. We will in all probability turn in all our transportation, in the way of wagons,mules, etc to the quartermaster at this place. I will be very glad if you will advise me what steps, if any, have been taken looking toward securing camping grounds for the regiment on its return."

FROM COLONEL SMITH. TOWNSHIP NOMINATIONS.
Journal
states that
a reception will be given the One Hundred and Fifty-eighth oa its arrival. The
Joimuil
says:
The One Hundred and Fifty-eighth regiment contains about 350 Indianapolis boys, and preparations are already oil foot to give them a welcome that they will remember as long as they remember any incidentof their campaigning. The Columbia club has taken the affair in hand, and a committee consisting of O Hawkins, Floyd Woods, Horace Smith, Harry C. Adams, John Cockrum and A. A. Young has been appointed to perfect the plans that are already fairly well laid. The ladies of the city,under the direction of Mrs F. F.- McCrea, will aid and will shosv the boys a little of what they call "civihzition." At the home of Mrs. McCrea Monday night seventy-five ladies, mothers, sisters and s-veethearih of the bojs of
Company alooe asssmbled and got much of the work under way. It is the plan at present to meet the boys at the train with tho When band, and then give them a li^ht- lunch of coffee and saudvvichea to last them until they arrive at ineir camp, where something more substantial will have been prepared. As soon as the first welcome is over the When band will retreat to the lawn in front of ihe Columbia Club, where it will be at the command of a committee appointi for the purpose. With their own band at their head, the regiment will inarch through the city, passing the club bouse, where special preparations will be made. From this point the When band will make suitable music, and if it happens to be at night there will be red lights and fireworks 11, is also planned to have the monument lighted if the boys caipe after eatk. They will then march to a suitable p'ace and again take their train or street cars for their camp.
Twelve tables, each seventy-two feet long, Lave been provided, and upon these, one for each company, the bountiful repast will will be spread, with young ladies as waiters. Each table will be spread with white tablecloths, and it is hoped to give the boys the fir.-t taste of home life. After the meal, which will consist of wholesome food and good coffee and cold milk, there will probably be some speech making on the part of the citizens and the members of the regiment."
