Camp in Pleasant Location
The camp was pitched in a field j
cast of the town and it was quite a j
change for the men to get into a j
farming country,'after spending near-,
ly two months at Shenandoah, where !
i liere is no cultivated land, but a great
'leal of underbrush, rocks and coal j
dirt. Thousands of visitors came to I
the camp, and at the first Sundayl
evening parade it is estimated that aj
crowd of more than 3,000 witnessed '
the ceremony. The camp was located
in the center of the Laekawanna-Lu-)
Kerne coal field, and within a few
miles were the towns of Duryea,!
Lackawanna, Avoca, Moosic and Tay-|
ior and many large colliery opera- \
tions. employing many men.
Details were sent to the neighbor- i
ing towns on frequent occasions and !
a number of times the company was ■
in West Pittston on provost duty.'

FRIDAY EVENING, » HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH JANUARY 23, 1914.
Ninth Regiment, located in the busi
ness section of the town. Patrols were
sent out and outposts located at var
ious points in the neighborhood. One
night the company was called out at
S o'clock, placed on a train and sent
| to Austin Heights, where it was re
| ported that the miners intended to
I blow up a powder house and other
I buildings at the colliery. Guards
were placed on the locomotive on the
j run to this place as the train crew
I would not take the risk without pro
! tection. When the company arrived
I at the colliery there was no sign of
1 disturbance, and after remaining there
jail night the men were marched back
| to camp at Duryea.
During the month of October the
! weather was very cold and the men
| had some difficulty in keeping warm.
| Nearly every tent had an oil stove
I and some were boarded up along the
, sides, so that the occupants were
fairly comfortable under adverse con
ditions. There were several light
I snows, one of them being about two
| inches deep, but the men got through
| without any trouble and in perfect
j health. In fact, there was compara
! lively no sickness in the command
| during the entire three months' serv
ice.
On October 30 the regiment was or
dered to break camp and return
home. The men of the company then
completed a long tour of pleasant
and enjoyable duty, and one filled with
many incidents and experiences which
will never be forgotten by them.
The names of the officers and men
who were on this tour of service are
printed herewith and their pictures
are contained in the small cut copy
ing the large group of photographs in
the company armory.
Work and Location of Co. I
in Strike Service of 1902
Company T was called out at the
same time as was Company D about 2
o'clock on the morning of July 31,
1902, and left Harrisburg at the same
time, reaching Shenandoah and going
into camp simultaneously. Their
work for the time Company D re
mained in the Schuylkill county town
was practically the same, consisting of
patrolling, outpost and provost duty
and guard detail work on various oc
casions and at many places in the
small towns and "patches" near
Shenandoah. When Company D, with
two battalions of the regiment went
into Luzerne county on September 20,
Company 1 remained at Shenandoah
with the third battalion of the regi
ment until the entire division of the
National Guard was ordered into
service on October 8, and a general
move and relocation of troops was
made. Then, after a total service of
70 days at Shenandoah, the third
battalion joined the regiment at Dur
yea and was encamped there eleven
days, when it was moved to Parsons,
Luzerne county, where it remained
until the end of the tour of duty—
eleven days'later.
With the exception of the time
spent at Shenandoah after Company
D left for Duryea and the eleven days
spent at Parsons, the work of Com
pany X was almost the same as chron
icled for the other command and its
experience was practically the same,
except that after the division of the
regiment at Shenandoah in September
i there was left a much smaller body
i of men to do the work and it resulted
I in more frequent details for patrol
I and guard service.
The company returned to Harris
burg when tho order relieving the
| regiment was issued on October 30,
I leaving camp soon after noon and
reaching home, after a tiresome train
ride, about 9 o'clock that night.

Alderman Has Prayer
Instead of Argument
An alderman who isn't particular
about sending cases to court and. reap
ing big fees, but who has a few
prayers in his office with prosecutor
and defendants, and thus settles most
of his cases out of court, will speak
at next Sunday's "Pleasant Sunday
Afternoon" of the Allison Hill Men's
Christian Association. He is J. C.
Newcomer, alderman of that part'of
Wllliamsport known as Newberry,
; who is coining here with the party of
half a dozen men who will tell Hjirris
; burg what an evangelistic campaign
| by Dr. Henry W. Stough almost two
years ago accomplished for Williams
port in the way of permanent good.
Sunday's meeting will'be held'in
Lenney's Theater, 5 South Thirteenth
street, at 3.45 o'clock, with the usual
preliminary song service. Alderman
Newcomer is merely one of the .party,
which will be headed by Dr. John A.
Campbell. Others are .William J. Dale,
president of the Dayton Shoe ,Com
i pany; the Kev. V. T. P. S. Wilson,
head of the Williamsport City Mis-
I sion; James Wilson, a railroad man
and Sunday school worker, and Alva
MeUger, a man of the type of James
Wilson. The men are coining here at
their own expense merely to tell ■
what's what in Williamsport.
MARRIED OHIO GIRL
Sunbury, Pa., Jan. 23. —Lester Hen
ninger. an air inspector of the Penn
sylvania Railroad here, went to Day
ton, Ohio, where on Wednesday ho
claimed as his bride Miss Martha
Wilcke, a prominent young lady. A
reception in the Colonial Hotel fol
lowed.
A Tonic For the Nsrves
Nervous people who have not yet
developed n disease that can be rec
ognized and treated by (he medical
profession have the greatest trouble
in finding relief. Irritation, headache,
sleeplessness, nervous dyspepsia, all
these discomforts make life miserable
but are endured rather than run a doc
tor's bill without definite hope of re
covery.
Every such sufferer should know
the danger of suoh a condition of the
nervous system. Nervous debility and
even paralysis may easily result if
the tone of the nerves Is not restored.
The one big fact that brings hope
and relief .is that the nerves can be
restored by building up the blood. It
cannot be too often repeated that only
through the blood can nourishment
and medicine reach the nerves. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills make the blood
rich and red and quickly restore vi
tality and energy to a weak nervous
system. A nervous person who gives
these pills a trial is almost certain to
see good results and. what Is more,
the benefit will be lasting because the
trouble is attacked at its root. Thin
blood makes weak nerves. Building up
the blood restores the nerve force.
Get a box of Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills to-day and write the Dr. Wil
liams Medicine Co., Schenectady,
N. V.. for a freevcopy of "Diseases of
the Nervous System."—Advertisement.
