THREE ATTACKSION THE TROOPS.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug 4.-The en-
tire Eighth regiment was called to
arms during Saturday night as re-
suit of three attacks made by band
VI men in ambush, who threw stones
at the troops now in camp on the
plateau outside the town. These at
lacks were becoming so frequent that
Brigadier General Goblin decided to
adopt stern measures to end them.
Last night a double guard, supplied
with ball cartridges, surrounded the
camp, and the sentries were instruct
ed that If Saturday nights stone
throwing was repeated they must
shoot to kill and investigate after
wards. One Of the attacking party,
Lithuanian named William Stoponitz,
was arrested and confined in the
guard tent, and the provost marshal
was on the trail of the others. 1t was
hot known how many were in the
crowd, but the officers of the Eighth
regiment believed the number to have
been more than a dozen.
A Guard Knocked Down.
The first attack, according to Col
onel Theodore F. Hoffman, was made
at 10:45 o'clock Saturday night. Pri.
rate Payne, of Company I, on sentry
duty, saw a party of men on the
Mahanoy City road. which separates
the camp of the Eighth regiment from
the Twelfth. He commanded the men
10 no of hA
guard, but before the latter could re-
spond a shower of stones and rocks
were thrown at the sentry. One rock
Struck him on the chest, knocking him
Gown and causing his gun to fall from
his hands. He Immediately jumped
up and fired several shots in the air.
AS he did so the men ran down the
:Cad and were pursued by several
strangers. The outpost, which had
been stationed some distance from the
camp, heard the shots and one of the
tickets captured Stoponitz as he came
running down the road. The others
escaped.
TIE shooting aroused the whole
camp and the Eighth regiment was
put under arms and companies B. Z
and K were Immediately thrown out
Ii skirmish lines. They beat the un.
aerbrush and laurel, which is five or
six feet high, all around the camp,
hut they could find no one.- The regi-
ment was then called to quarters and
Is minutes later another shower of
stones was thrown at the stable
guard, which is located south of the
Eighth regiment. The guard turned
out and three men were seen running
along the road in opposite direction
from where The outpost was stationed.
Tie strangers were not pursued.

Regiment Sounded to Arms.

Shortly after o'clock Sunday
made, and it was of such nature that
he bugler, under orders from Colonel
Hoffman, sounded the whole regiment
t arms. This time the stable guard
was again the object of the mysteri-
Gus attack. Stones in volleys were
thrown at the guard and at the SEN
ties nearby. On account of the lau-
rel underbrush and the darkness the
soldiers could not see the offenders.
However, the sentries fired about a
GoZen shots into the bushes, but no
che was hit. Some of the bullets
went whistling over the tents of the
sleeping soldiers of the Twelfth regi.
nent, across the road.
The noise of the firing and the
bugle call to arms stirred up the
Twelfth regiment and the Governors
troop of cavalry. which is located
close to the Eighth regiment. Colo
lel Clement, of the Twelfth regiment,
sent out detachments to investigate
The trouble, as did also Captain OFT,
in command of the cavalry. The
Eighth regiment, Colonel Hoffman
said, was under arms and ready for
action in three minutes. Another
thorough investigation was made
without result, and then the COM
and, after standing in formation for
20 minutes, was called to quarters
and not again disturbed.
The Prisoner Examined.
Colonel Hoffman made full report
tc Brigadier General Goblin, who came
&C camp during the forenoon to make
a full investigation. He put Stopon-
itz through a searching examination
The prisoner said there were only
four men in the party. He gave the
rame of one of them as Michael La
votiz and said he did not know who
the others we're. While under exam
ination he made several contradic
tory statements. General Goblin says

what Medical Authorities Say as TO
the Danger Line.
Some OF the best medical authorities say
that IL a person loses one-third Of his
weight, that the system will not have power
enough left to ever recuperate. That is to
say. II a man or woman who weighs $50
pounds in health should. for any cause, be
reduced to 100 pounds. they could not re-
cover. but would shortly die. This fixes the
danger line at S3h per cent. Some say the
per cent is a little higher, and some say It
is a little lower. But this estimate is
probably nearly correct.
Are you losing flesh? II so. do you not
know that II is not only foolish but danger
Gus? You need not continue to lose flesh
another day II you will use the proper
remedies.
Peruna is a great flesh producer. 1t Is
through the mucous membranes of the body
that all the nutrition must be absorbed. II
the mucous membranes are healthy. the
loss Of flesh is rapidly restored.
Peruna produces healthy membranes. I'm
healthy mucous membranes is known as
catarrh. Catarrh may be slight or severe.
Peruna always cures catarrh wherever
located.
Catarrh OF any OF the vital organs leads
to loss OF flesh. The catarrh may be so
slight as to give no other warning save the
loss OF flesh. Any one who is losing flesh
for no apparent reason. can be sure that
oatarrh is at the bottom OF it
Peruna is sure to cure such cases.
