Patriotism is running high at this place,
the home Of Company D, Third Regiment.
All day long the members impatiently wait
cd for orders to depart Tonight the COM
pany was banqueted in the G. A r. hall
by citizens and the spacious building was
crowded, while hundreds Of patriotic citi-
zens paraded the street. unable to gain en-
trance. The company spent an hour in
drilling on Main street before an audience
of two thousand admiring friends. Music
was furnished for the drill by the City
Band and the pretty moves OF the company
were greeted with frequent and hearty ap-
plause. Yesterday the entire company at
tended divine services at the Zion Lutheran
Church in full uniform. The other churches
of the city dismissed for the occasion.
Rev. c. W. Anshutz delivered an appropri-
ate and impressive sermon and the choir
sang only patriotic hymns Orders are eX-

NO PROVISIONS ORDERED.
Quartermnster General Has Made No
COntract-The Bill OF Fare,

No provision has yet been made for feed
ing the soldiers who will go into camp at
the fair grounds to-day. Quartermaster
General Richardson said last night that it
had been his policy to enter into no con-
tracts for the purchase Of supplies until the
order for the mobilization of troops was re-
ceived. Il called up several houses handling
the goods needed he said land learned
that there would be no trouble In getting
provisions on short notice. The call came
too late tonight to enter into any contracts.
This will be attended to to-day the first
thing. / shall ask for bids on the articles
desired. 1 will ask the bidders to make
prices on the articles in various quantities
and ask that they be delivered from time
to time as ordered. We do not know how
long the troops will remain here, and can
not buy with any degree of accuracy except
from day to day.
There is really no hurry about the pro-
visions. Every company is instructed to
come here with a. days rations. This will
tide them over Tuesday night and by that
time contracts can be made and goods de-
hvered.'
The quartermaster general and Chief
Medical officer Wright last night decided
upon the bill of fare for three days Each
mess will be furnished on the first day with
the following articles: Bacon, soft and hard
bread baked canned beans rice, coffee,
pickles, eggs, canned apples. There will be
enough Of this for three meals and it will
On the second day there will be fresh meat
and hard bread instead of bacon ard soft
bread. The rations for this day will also
include navy beans instead of canned baked
beans. and tea, hominy and canned corn.
The third day will be almost the same as
the second, with the addition of cabbage.
The quartermaster says it is the intention
of the department to provide the militia
with an abundance of plain substantial
to be a place of preparation where the
young soldiers are to be drilled and dis
cipliued and trained for the harder work
of the United States army. Plain food Is
essential to hard work, and there will be
no unnecessary frills to the bills OF fare at
the Camp.

BAcKUs REGIMENT OFFICERS.
Coun Gilman clark and Frank II. HOrd
Among the Captains.

Last night the minor officers of the newly
organized First Regiment of Indiana Vol
unteers were elected. The work was done
IN very short order and apparently every
one is satisfied, including the chosen ones.
Company A, which met in the recruiting
Office In the Odd Fellows building, elected:
L. A. Fulmer, captain; Edward j. Bowen,
first lieutenant; II. Fl. Evans, second lieu
tenant Company chose: Waldo t. Davis,
captain; Will Kinney, first lieutenant; Earl
Alexander, second lieutenant. The men Of
Company q agreed on George w. War
mouth, for captain; Frank Mayfield, for
first lieutenant and George Batchlor, for
second lieutenant. Company G elected
Frank s. Clark, as captain; w. NJ. Grove,
first lieutenant; L. NJ. Mayfield, second lieu
tenant. Company 1 chose Francis T. Hord
as captain; A. H. Anthony, first lieutenant;
Burton B. Bales, second lieutenant. Com
pany l. gave its vote for w. e. Tou5ey for
captain; d. 3. Pittsford, first lieutenant;
Charles c. Hickman, second lieutenant.
Four Of the companies held their elections
in the courthouse and a majority of the
enlisted men were in attendance. After the
brief time consumed in the election of Off
GERS all the companies were mustered to-
gether individually and marched through
different portions of the city, for the pur-
peso of drill and incidentally to give vent
to their enthusiasm. The noncommissioned
officers will not be appointed until later.

EVANSVILLE WAS DESIGNATED.
war Departments Mistake in Select
ing the Rendezvous.

Governor Mount was informed last night
of the Associated Press dispatch which
gave the places of rendezvous for the
militia Of the various States, the dispatch
embracing the official order issued by the
War Department at WASHINGTON. In this
order Evansville was designated as a rem
devious for the Indiana troops. The Gov
ernor was nonplused at the order A query
was sent to the Associated Press head
quarters to ascertain If some mistake had
not been made in the transmission OF the
order but the reply came that the official
order named Evansville
1T is out of the question at this late day
70 select Evansville q rendezvous" said
the Governor, Il am sure there must be
some mistake. If 1t really is the order Of
the department I shall certainly DO all
can to have the order modified. 1t was my
understanding that the War Department
would not interfere in any way with the
mobilizing of the state troops by the execu-
tlves OF the various States until they are
ton in ordering the Indiana troops to In
dianapoiS. Evansville has made no prepara-
tons whatever for receiving troops while
everything is In readiness in Indianapolis.
Besides, Evansville would be too far out
or the way for rendezvousing the militia
or the State, as the railroad accommoda-
tons are not sufficient to move the troops
quickly. / do not see the purpose of the
department in designating Evansville"
1t was said at Washington last nirhf
when it was intimated that a strong protest
would be made, that the War Department
would no doubt modify its order at the re-
quest OF the Governor 1T was added that
certain discretion, was left with the Gov
named in the call if the department.
designation was not acceptable.

National Volunteer Reserves.

r. A. Sprague of this city, is organizing
q regiment of the National Volunteer Re-
serve. an organization with headquarters
in the Washington building, New York
city. The national movement is ten days
old and the officials state that the military
committee has grown until it now has a
membership of 100 veteran generals and a1-
Inirals who served in the civil war on both
sides. and that applications for member
ship In the organization are daily being
received at the New York office by the thou
sands. The Governors of almost all of the
States and the secretaries of war and the
navy have approved it. it is alleged,
and a bill is now pending in Con-
gress for its recognition. The or
ganization is intended to be perma-
nent and to give the United States the
military strength that other countries have
in their greaf standing armies. Mr.. Sprague
says that tile local movement in the organi-
cation is daily gaining strength The New
York store has presented the growing regi-
ment with IN American flag Of regulation
size.

brigade would be called and that there were
several companies lacking to fiji the bril-
gade, prompted men in a score Of cities and
towns to raise companies with the hope OF
getting them accepted to fill these vacan-
cies. Applications came In yesterday from
Seymour Frankfort. Columbus, Danville,
Anderson and Lebanon. and in some in
stances influential citizens were sent along
with the applications to give them prestige
THE NEW COMPANIES.
1t is possible that some of these new
companies will get to go with the brigade.
The call is for four regiments of infantry,
which means forty-eight companies There
are now only forty companies. Just how
the vacancies are to be filled depends upon
the result Of the physical examinations to
be made of all the soldiers after they ar
rive in camp. This will be done under the
supervision Of DR.. E. F. Hodges, Of this
city, and will be most severe. 1t Is said at
the office Of the adjutant general that every
company in the State has recruited it's full
war quota and will bring to Camp Mount
from lO0 to LIB men. AS only "a can 20 in
q company, the physical examination will
nave to be extremely severe to leave any
vacancies in companies. 1t is thought there
VIII be more men brought to camp than
enough to fill the forty companies which
come. 1t may be that the surplus men will
be given an opportunity TO organize them
serves in companies and fill out the vacan-
cies In the number of companies, but this
,plan is opposed on some sides and with
good reason. The argument in favor of the
plan is that the men Joined the regular
companies of the Indiana National Guard
and according to the policy of the War De-
partnent are entitled to first chance to 60
Against this is the argument that a good
company could hardly be organized by TAX
Ing men picked at random from all parts
OF the State. They will all be raw re-
cruits' and no advantage can be in their
raw" recruits taken from a single com
munity. Governor Mount is inclined 10 favor
me admission to the brigade of the best Of
the volunteer companies as already organ
lzed Nothing will be done, however, to-
wards filling vacancies until after the In
oiana National Guard has gone into camp.

At the armory of the Light Artillery, last
night there were bustling scenes of activ-
ity. The men were put through two hours
of hard drill and great crowd of people
watched them. Although 1t was said that
Captain Curtis had not yet received his or
ders from the Governor, every member OF
Battery A understood the orders could not
be long delayed and that il was only
question of a few hours until they would be
expected to go into camp. The large arInory
was crowded all evening by an anxious,
eager throng. The building was brilliantly
lighted and the crowd was permitted TO
wander where 1t would.

the commons Captain Curtis took the more
skilled artillerymen through the different
evolutions of the drill. Hundreds of people
stood about and looked at the men. In the
armory there were gay scenes Young
women tripped up and down the stairways
and now and then a girl would sit down at
the piano and dash off few bars of the

patriotic air. Parents and sisters and sweet
hearts thronged the building and waited for

JAM AT GOVERNORS OFFICE.
New Companies for Regiments-Rigid
Medical Inspection.

MeOlCdtA IuSUtCtAOAs
The Governors office presented a bargain
counter appearance yesterday, so great was
the rush From the time the office opened
until late at night there was a constant
jam of men and women who wanted to see
Governor Mount personally. AS it was ut
terly impossible, with the business the Gov
ernor had to attend to, for him to see them
all, he shut himself in his private Office
and denied himself to all. Occasionally,
however, he would be caught mapping and
would fall into the hands of some aspirant
for military honors. Once he came out of
the office to mail a letter, and was colared
and button-holed by a man who wanted to
raise a regiment of cavalry The man
could not be shaken off. He refused to
understand that the Governor had no au-
thority to commission him for that purpose
and persisted in telling him his qualifica-
tions, the chief of which was that he had
been accustomed to horses all his life. He
admitted that he had never had any mill
tary training, but felt that he was a born
commander and would accept nothing less
than the command of a regiment.
Every caller felt that he must see the
Governor. Secretary Wilson managed to get
the most of them to state their business
which they did reluctantly at first All
wanted to go to war and only sought in
formation as to how to proceed. Mr. Will
son informed them that they would better
see Lieutenant May. United States army
who had charge of the United States army
affairs, and would be Informed on the
methods by which volunteers might get to
90 to the front. Every man felt obliged to
tell the secretary ell about himself and
the secretary listened to many a glowing
self-delivered biography. There were APP
plicants who had served in the civil war
and scores OF them who had served from
three to ten years in the regular army
service. One man said he had served a year
in cavalry. three years in a battery and
six years in the infantry. He talked glibly
about the different commandments at the
frontier forts and thought he had made an
impression on Colonel Wilson that would
insure him nice fat office Colonel Wilson
heard him through and said dryly:
There have been hundred Just like you
Ia here to-day and there are five thousand
more in the State. 1 would advise you too
see Lieutenant May"

newIy-organized companies. The informa-
tion conveyed week ago in the Journal

Governor Mount said yesterday. after he
had beer besieged for eight hours by men
anxious for commissions for themselves or
friends, that he wished to emphasize the
statement he made through the Journal a
few days ago that he would not commission
any one to raise a regiment or a company.
In case there is call for volunteers in adj
dition to the National Guard he will APP
point as officers men who come with the
recommendation of an election to such Of
