Man East Night ■ f Austin Van Camp. whohas been quite sick for several days, ia reported con* sideraW improved to .day and it is hoped that the change/for the better will prove permanepVand that he will ... continue on the road to recovery. His . > . condition seems to be due to a gen* eral breakdown, due to many years ok devotion-to ids. work, and he suffers from stomach, kidney and other troubles, which are aggravating to say the least. Last evening Dr. McOscar Os Fort Wayne, and Dr. J. S. Coverdale of thiscity, held a consultation at the bedside of the sick man and an operation was considered, but luteMly this was pverted and this morning Mr. Van Camp feels greatly improved. A day or two will tell whether or not this relief is permanent and the many friends of the sick man hope this will be the result. Mr. Van Camp has for years been one of the busiest men in Decating and his system seems to have given way to the long and severe strain. He will likely spend some time- in recuperating, a trip to West Baden having been planned as soon as he is able to travel. - o A bill has been received by County Auditor Garrett for the board of Wells county chuuren wno are in the Julia Work school at Plymouth.
