WILL MISS THE STATE FAIR.
So Say Col. Barnett's Men at Camp
Meade, Pennsylvania.

Correspondence of the Journal.
CAMP MEADE, Pa, Sept. From
present indications the One-hundred-and-
fifty-ninth will not arrive in Indianapolis
in time to run in competition with the fat
stock show at the State fair. Unless pres
ent orders are changed requiring the rec
ords and papers for the muster out to be
prepared before leaving here, it will, it is
thought, be couple of weeks before the
command leaves. Colonel Barnett to-day
said he thought 1t would not require more
than ten days to prepare for departure.
This, however, is only an estimate. Orders
have been issued recalling all officers who
absent on leave of absence in order to
prepare for the muster out.

piped about the camps and to tanks, where
the water G. is are easily supplied. Some
regiments are supplied by hydrant in front
of each company, others by water carts.
Colonel Moore says that there is alum
dant supply of this water, which has been
analysed and pronounced absolutely pure.
The sanitary conditions of the camp are ex-
celient. Precautions have been taken that
prevent any trouble arising from the sinks
and refuse matter. Colonei Moore also re-
ports that the food is abundant and troops
apparently well satisfied. President Me-
kinney. when at Camp Meade, told Colonel
