Tour of Duty of Company D and Company I, Eighth Regi
ment, During Strike of Mine Workers, Extending
Over Seven Counties and Continuing Three Months
Eariy in the year 1902, differences
occurred between the operators and
the mine workers in the anthracite
coal regions of Pennsylvania, which
resulted in a cessation of work on the
part of the mine workers. Almost
every colliery closed, and both parties
to the controversy settled down to a
prolonged contest. In the beginning no
lawlessness or disorder was Indulged
in, but. in July meetings were held
more frequently, assemblages of men
indulged in lawlessness, terrorized
« ommunlties, and in some instances
threatened the lives of individuals.
On July 10, 1902, the Governor of
Pennsylvania received from the sheriff
of Carbon county a telegram asking
for assistance.
An investigation of the turbulent
district was made by officers detailed
tor that purpose, and they reported
on July 11. 1902. that the condition
of affairs had improved, and that the
local authorities could control the sit
uation.
Between July 10 and July 30 there
were numerous Infractions of law and
order, but none of such magnitude or
violence as to be beyond the control
of the local authorities.
At 7.10 p. m„ July 30, the follow
ing telegram was received by the Gov
ernor from the sheriff of Schuylkill
• ounty:
William A. Stone. Governor:
Bloodshed and riots in this
county, property destroyed, citi
zens killed and injured. Situa
tion beyond my control. Troops
should be sent to Shenandoah im
mediately.
(Signed)
S. ROWLAND BEDDALL,
Sheriff.
This being followed by reports ot
National Guard officers investigating
' onditions In the affected region, steps
were taken to restore order.
At midnight on July 30, the follow
ing troops were ordered on duty by the
major general commanding, and Bri
radier General Gobin. commanding
Third Brigade, to take charge:
Eighth Regiment. Infantry, Colonel
Theodore E. Hoffman, commanding. -
Twelfth Regiment Infantry, Colonel
Charles M. Clement, commanding.
Company K. Fourth Regiment In
fantry, Captain George R. Kalbach.
Company G. Fourth Regiment In
fantry, Captain James W. ITmben
hauer.
Governor's Troop, Captain Frederick
Af. Ott.
Companies D and I were among the
first ordered out. Lieutenant-Colonel
Hutchison was at the Adjutant Gen
eral's office when the order was given
tor 'pool's to be dispatched to the
WEDNESDAY EVENING
I sccue of disturbance, unci he iuune-
I communicated with Captain
•wiKie, of Company IJ, and Captain
iI" inney, of Company I. In a few min
uates the order had gone out tor the
assembling of the companies and in a
jshort time the men were hurrying? to
.the Armory. Before daylight the
I commands were formed at the Ar
, niory, fully armed and equipped for
I held service, and started off on a tour
of duty that lasted over three months
and took them over a considerable
portion of the anthracite coal region
' ot Pennsylvania.
During August and September more
'troops were ordered out. until the en
tire Third Brigade and some com
mands from the First and Second Bri
| grades were in service.
■ . 'he end of September troops
were in service in seven counties, viz:
( arbon, Columbia, Luzerne. Lacka
wanna. Northumberland, Schuylkill
and Susquehanna, and had been on
duty in Lebanon county. The coal
mines had been idle for months—win
ter was approaching, and a coal fa
mine. promising great loss, suffering
iind distress, seemed to be impending
Disorder was increasing, and over a
territory so large that the troops then
on duty seemed an Insufficient force
to meet the demands for protection
of life and property. It was decided
to place the remaining portions of the
division 011 duty, and the Governor is
sued a general order, dated October fi
'"O2, placing the entire Guard in the
legion between Pottsvllle and Olv
phant.
This tour of strike duty commenced
for Companies D and I on Julv SI and
ended on October 30, after continuous
service for 92 days. They were re
lieved from duty on October 30 and
reached llarrisburg about .9 o'clock
that night.
During this extended period the
troops were actively engaged in re
sponding to calls from various quar
ters and for various purposes, includ
ing all the vexatious duties necessary
to enforce the law and preserve the
peace. In a country in which all re
gard for law and order seemed to be
absent from the great majority of citi
zens, and a practical reign of terror
existing among those who still main
tained respect for it, the duties were
onerous and serious, and in every par
ticular they were met by dignified and
determined conduct on the part of
the troops.
Total Expense of 1902 Service
The total cost to the State of Penn
sylvania for the strike of 1902 was
$1,002,196.09.

WHY EXPERIMENT
I
| HERPICIDE, the First Preparation for Combating Dan- j
druff Contagion, Has Proven Its Worth
_
| l.ike most new creations and truths,
I Newbro's Herpicide, the first prepara-
I' tlon in America to be compounded In
harmony with the theory that dandruff
Is a contagious disease, was the subject
of much ridicule The theory of dand.
rufT contagion was subjected to severe
criticism, not to say antagonism, by
many.
But what is the situation to-day?
Truth has prevailed. The facts con
cerning the origin of dandruff are
known. That it is a contagious disease
Is admitted.
The extraordinary success of Xew
bro's Herpicldc, both in America and
abroad, has caused practically all other
scalp preparations to abandon their old
claims and imitate those made for Her
plcide. As there has seldom been any
change made in the preparations, the
sincerity of these claims may be doubt

i Engineers have been direc ted to I
make an investigation as a result of

tion of the York Haven Water and
Power Company for the approval by
the commission of the construction of;

against the approval of this applica

ed. But why give these other prepara
tions a thought? Why exp«riment?
The point is this: "Success" is the
thing- that is always Imitated. Herpi-■
cide is and has been imitated widely. l
Why be persuaded to buy an imitation
when it is more sensible and in the end
more satisfactory to buy the original?
Remember. Newbro's Herplcide was!
positively the first and original prep-1
aration for combating dandruff as a 1
contagious disease.
