STATE OFFICIALS BREAK DOWN

Owing to the strenuous work in connection with the state's part in the war, three prominent state officials have broken down and are ill. Governor Goodrich is confined to the Methodist hospital with typhoid fever. ” Jesse Eschbach, state conscription agent, has not been in Indianapolis since Saturday, when he left for his home at Warsaw. He telegraphed General Harry B. Smith that he was ill and gave instructions for taking care of the more important details of his work. General Smith has also been under the care of a physician for several days, although he is able to be at his offices a part of the time.
