GOVERNOR REVIEWS TROOPS
Plans Being Made For. Big Sham
Battle at Selinsgrove
Friday
Special to The Telegraph
Selinsgrove, Pa., July 22.—T0-day is
Governor's Day here. Inspection of
the citizen troops will occupy the
greater part of the day. At 4 p. m.
a. review was held for the comrtiander
in-chief. Governor Tener. The biv
ouac for the commands scheduled for
to-night has been postponed until
Thursday night. On Friday a big sham
battle will be fought.
Problems in mimic warfare yester
day at the Joint camp of instruction
had to do with the protection of a
wagon train attacked by a hostile
force.
Cavalry was pitted against ca.valry
In Second Squadron meneuvers.' The
Governor's Troop, under Captain Jack,
acted as a convoy for a wagon train
moving from Lewisburg,.carrying sup
plies for a hostile brigade encamped
at Harrisburg, fifty miles below here.
The Sheridan Troop, under Captain
Moore, was ordered to intercept the
wagon train and harass the convoy
until the main forces of infantry came
"P- . .
The Sheridan Troop patrols found
the wagon train moving along an un
frequented road. Later the two main
cavalry forces met, and for more than
four hours • a pitched battle was
fought. The convoy was delayed long
enough, the officers asserted, so that
a flank movement could have been
successfully executed by a brigade of
Infantry, of which the Sheridan Troop
was the advance guard and the train
would eventually have been captured.
The Thirteenth Infantry problem
was worked out by Major H. F. Con
rad, commanding the convoy battal
ion, and Majors W. A. Rab and R. J.
Burke, who led the attacking battal
ions. Major Conrad, by forced march
es, safely landed his wagon train
across Herman's bridge, "burned" the
bridge behind him and bade defiance
to his foes.
In the Ninth Infantry, Major O. F.
Harvey commanded a single battalion
acting as a convoy for a wagon train
carrying supplies to an imaginary hos
tile force encamped at Lewisburg.
Majors George W. Coxe and William
I. Ravert led the attacking battalion.
The convoy under Major Harvey de
tatched several companies# and these,
strongly entrenched, held back the
opposing forces until the wagon train,
with the main body, was four miles
in advance.
The battalions under Major William
H. Straub worked out a problem
similar to that of the Ninth Infantry.

Independent Borough
Attacked by Lebanon
Special to The Telegraph
Lebanon, Pa.. July.22.—With the'
memory of thousands of dollars dam-1
age done by floods 1n a storm two
weeks ago fresh in mind. City Council
to-day directed City Solicitor Walter
C. Graeff to institute a suit in equity!
against Independent borough to re
strain that community from draining
its storm water through Lebanon. The
borough is situated on a hill north of
the city, and the drainage arrange
ments are such that most of the
storm water flows down through one
of Lebanon's main thoroughfares—
Eighth street. With nearly every se
vere shower, the street is washed
ouj, and cellars are flooded. In the
big storm of July 10 last, many homes
were flooded above their first floors,
and one of the owners, E. K. Woelfly
has notified Lebanon Council of his
purpose to bring a suit for damages
done his property and furniture. If
he should win the suit there will
doubtless be scores of others. The
city of Lebanon will now take Steps
to compel the borough to the north
to take care of its own water, and
thus <Jo away with, at least a part of
the volume of w'ater which causes the
trouble;

RELIEF FROM DYSPEPSIA
All conditions of depressed vitality
tend to disturb the processes of dlge«
tlon. There is not a disturbed condi
tion of life that may not affect diges
tion.
Few causes of Indigestion are so
commoh us thin, weak blood. It af
fects directly and at once the great
processes of nutrition. Not only la the
action of the gastric and intestinal
glands diminished but the muscular
action of the stomach is weakened.
Nothing will more promptly restore
the digestive efficiency than good red,
blood. Without It the normal activity
of the stomach is impossible.
Thin, pale people who complain of
Indigestion must Improve the condi
tion of their blood to find relief. The
most active blood-builder in such cases
is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They
make rictfP red blood which quickly
restores the digestive organs to their
proper activity and the-first result is
hunger. The dyspeptic who has hated
the sight and smell of food now looks
forward to meal time with pleasurable
anticipation. Care now In the selec
tion and quantity of food will put the
patient well on the road to health. A
diet book. "What to Eat and How to
Eat," will be sent free on request by
