well fitted for caring for quite number. We'd
nesdsy evening of the week of Encampmen
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller will give reception to al
Harrison County visitors.
The Committee on Entertainment having
changed the evening of tho reception to officers
and delegates of the Encampment from Thurs
day to Monday the week will open with one Of
the most brilliant events of the time.
REUNIONS.
There will be no feature of the Encampment
of greater interest to the veterans than the
Reunions. They will have many of them to
attend, for every old soldier will not only want
to be in the Reunion of his regiment, but in
those of his brigade division, or corps.
The survivors of the Sixteenth Corps are to
have with them their old General A. J. Smith
He is the oldest general officer of the Union
Army living and throughout the war was IA
nous as one of the fighters. The Sixteenth Corps
men propose to give him q reception BETTING
their affection for him. which has always been
strong and jealous.
DIR. J. J. Garver's army service was with the
71st Ohio and the survivors of that regiment
will be at the Encampment 100 strong. The
| Doctor will be their host. and in the rear yard
of his Office, No. 126 North Meridian street, he
will have tents erected where the list old SOL
| diers will have a home and Headquarters
during their stay in the city. Their Reunion
| will occur at that place at nine o clock Wednes-
day morning.
Col. Lily. Chairman of the Citizens Execu-
| tive Board, has chosen for Military Park, to be
| used for Reunions and Headquarters of Indiana
regiments, the name of Camp Wilder. Gen.
| Wilder will have his Headquarters there with
the regiments that formed his famous brigade.

Randolph street Camp Lew Wallace; those on
| Madison avenue Camp Sandy" Foster, and

| McGinnis.
The address of BENZ. Roberts, Chairman of
the local committee that is to prepare for the
Reunion of the Cd Ohio. H. A. Association. is
| No 140 instead of No. 10Y North Alabama
street. The wrong number appears on the
| cards sent out to the survivors by the Secretary
| of the Association.
The survivors of the 49th and 69th Ind. will
! have joint Reunion in st. Mary's Hall, South
Delaware street. These regiments for two
| years or more were in the same brigade of
Osterhauss Division, Thirteenth Corps.
The Headquarters of the Both Ind. will be at
No. 125 North Alabama street. The regimental
Reunion will be held there.
BUT ONE OFFICIAL SOUVENIR.
There will be but one official souvenir of the
Encampment, that issued under copyright
owned by the Citizens Executive Board. 1t
will not reach the public before the week i'm
mediately preceding the Encampment. If there
is any publication before that time or at any
other bearing the title OF souvenir. it will be
fraud, if it pretend TO be the official publica-
ton. The Citizens Executive Board has been
very particular about this work so as to pro-
teet advertisers. Solicitors for the official issue
have the proper credentials from officers of the
Board. Those who ask for souvenir advertise
ments without these credentials have nothing
to do with the genuine publication.
MAP OF THE CITY.
There has been prepared for the Citizens
Executive Board a map of the city from Tenth
street on the north to Phipps SOUTH and
from Blackford west to the eastern limits of
Woodruff Place. In this district are all the
points of interest to visitors, including the bar
racks, canps. hospitals and halls, all of which
are plainly designated. The line of march is
also distinctly marked and in the 1000 prints
of the map to be issued the rendezvous of each
Department at the parade formation is to be
shown in colors, with the time of assembling
and movment into the general column. These
maps will be for the use of officers of Depart
ments and those having charge of the parade,
and others whose duties require familiarity
with the city.
THE RATE FROM MAINE.
The Headquarters of the Department of
Maine will be at the Denison, and in General
Orders, No. z, just issued, Department Com
mander Cushing requests all Grand Army men
of this State who can TO come to the Indianapo-
liz Encampment. He states that arrangements
have been made with the Canadian Pacific to sell
tickets on the Worlds Fair rate to Chicago via
indianapolis. This arrangement adds 81 TO the
World's-Fair rate, the tickets being good for 80
days, returning by the direct line. Sleeping
cars will be run to this city, one leaving Fox
croft, Me-, the evening of Sept. l, and another
Portland the morning Of Sept g both arriving
at Montreal that evening from which city they
will be brought here together.
Low-RATE DATE CHANGED.
The granting Of the one-cent-a-mile rate to
the Encampment, not 10 become effective be-
fore Sept. 3, was matter of some concern to
the Citizens Executive Board, as it shut ont
the naval veterans and others who desired the
low rate previous to that date. The request
therefore, was made to have the rate 90 into
effect the week beginning Aug. 2S, and this
Chairman Lazarus, Of the Committee on Trans
portation, informs the Board has been granted
All the representatives OF the Central Traffic
Association, except one, at once expressed will
ingness TO have the rate fixed on the August
date, and when the matter was explained to
him he also voted for il, so the change was
made unanimously. This makes the one cent
mile good from Aug. % to the 9th of Septem-
Der coming, and until tho 10th of September
returning, applying TO all points east of Chi
cago. The Western Passenger Association is to
take up the Encampment-rate question again
this month, and favorable action is looked for.

WATER SUPPLY.
The water capacity of Indianapolis, not in
Guiding wells and cisterns, is 81 0G0, coo gallons
| Of this 100000 used daily at this time,
meeting the demand Of population of I25, coo.
| The Encampmeut visitors will increase the
demand greatly, but no more than can be
readily supplied and leaving a large margin.
| The supply is about that of population of
| 100000. large amount OF the water now used
is for sprinkling and other purposes that come
! only with the very hot weather. The citizens
of indianapolis will require no more water the
first week in September than they are now
using, aud perhaps not as much. That will
