Doan's Kidney Pills off and on for

HXBIUSBURG (fifiS* TEIEGR7JPH
The Harrisburg contingent of the Eighth Regiment pre
sented a splendid appearance, marching through the streets of
Ilarrisburg to the Strains of martial music, upon their way to
the Pennsylvania station to entrain for Camp Hancock.
i lie veterans of the Civil war played a conspicuous part in
yesterday s big demonstration. Although few in number the de
, fenders of long ago received almost as much applause as did the
boys who were leaving for the Southern training camp.
CITY BIDS FAREWELL
TO LAST GUARDSMEN
[Continued from First Pago.]
Company I and the others of the Eighth followed Company D
to Augusta yesterday, while thousands upon thousands of their
relatives, their sweethearts, their townsfolks and their families
stood upon the sidewalks and with eves that glowed with patriotic
pride or glistened with tears, cheered or waved the departing
troops farewell
Picture Will Remain Long
Ihe picture is one that will remain long in the
minds of those who were a part of it. Brisk autumn weather,
sun and cloud commingled in the sky, and loving line of veterans
of the Civil \\ ar, Spanish War Veterans and those of local mili
tary organizations, men of the Reserves, whose turn may come
nobody knows how soon, and the Boy Scours, soldiers perhaps
of future wars, marching in line with the khaki clad, heavily
accoutered Guardsmen, Col. Finney and his regimental staff in
the lead, swinging smartly along toward the depot facing as
gaily the perils of an unknown future as they might have gone
to dress parade. Did some of them forget their military training
a bit to wave good-by or exchange a friendly smile with some
body on the sidewalk? Did the colorbearer dip his flag a trifle
as he stooped to gajther his little daughter in his arms for a
farwell kiss in the midst of the review in Market street? If so,
nobody cared. It was their last glimpse of Harrisburg and their
home folks, for nobody knows how long, and they were entitled
to make t!;>: most of it.
And to-day the Governor's Troop, which yesterday acted as
part of the escort, responded to "boots and saddles" and followed
their comrades of the Infantry to the Southern training camp.
The old armory in the Eighth ward was closed for the last time.
\\ hen the troops return it will have been torn away to make
room for the Capitol Park Extension improvements. With the
cavalry goes the picturesque military feature that has marked
Harrisburg for the past three months, and the city settles back
to the hum-drum of everyday life—to await the next great day
when "Johnny Comes Marching Home, Hurrah!"
G. A. R. Given Ovation
The patriotic organizations were
included in the first division and re ;
ceived hearty applause. The divi
sion was headed by Chief Marshal
Ed. C. Humer and aids. Following
was the New Cumberland Band 111
military uniform.
The Grand Army of the .Republic
men was next in line, with Post 58
officers in command assisted by rep
resentatives from other city posts.
The veterans of the Civil War were
cheered at almost every point along
the line. They had a large turnout.
The City Grays Veteran Association
with a- large number of members in
line came next. This section was fol-
T-a 'U
ED. C. HUMER
lowed by the Spanish-American War
Veterans and the Sons of Veterans in
uniform, Boy Scout organizations
and the Stevens Memo Hal Methodist
Guards.
Reserves Applauded
The Commonwealth Band headed
the Harrisburg Reserves which were
In the rear of the first division. Much
favorable comment was heard all
along the route of the parade be
cause of the military swing and
splendid formation of the recently
organized home guard company.
All Carry Flags
Division 2 was compose 4 of the
fraternal and civic organizations with
William I. Lrfiubenstein acting as
marshal. The Elks, headed by nine
members wearing lodge emblems
and the Municipal Band, had the
front of the division. Doutrlch's con
tingent. led by the Iroquois Band of
Palmyra, added a picturesque touch
to the parade with white shoes, white
trousers and dark coats nnd hats.
The clerks of the Globe and Kauf
man's store followed and were dis
tinguished from other stores by white
hats. Bowman & t.'o. was headed
by (he French. British and Ameri
can (lags and following them was
the Steelton Band, heading the em
ployes of the New Store of William
Strouse. The Harrisburg Furniture.
Dealers and Dives. Pomeroy & Stew
art's Walking Club with large dele
gations brought up the rear. The
Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart Club was
led by standard-bearers carrying
flags of all the allied nations. Every
man in this division carried an
American flag.
Much Praise for Marshal
Edward C. Humer, chief marshal
of yesterday's parade, came in for
mueh praise. No parade ever heio
in Harrisburg was handled more sys
tematically and more promptly than
the farewell demonstration yester
day. There was not one hitch. The
procession was scheduled to move at
4 o'clock and the command to
"march' was given on the minute.
Chief Marshal Humer has had con
siderable military experience and
knows.how to handle large parades.
He yyas for many years a member of
Company D, in which he was ser
geant. He was also lieutenant of po
lice during the first term of Vance
C. McCormick as mayor. He received
much of his military instruction un
der the late Colonel Joseph B. Hutch,
ison, and has been a big factor in
successful parades In Harrisburg.
Crowd IJCTS TJOOSC
The progress of the military units
through the crowds of densely-pack
ed humanity was a continuous ova
tion. While many of the organiza
tions participating in the parade re
ceived approval and applause from
the crowd, the real ovation began
when Troop C, Harrisburg's crack
cavalry organization, led by Cap
tain George W. H. Roberts, appear
ed in the line of march. The ap
pearance of the military units was
the signal for the blowing of
whistles, the ringing of bells and con
tinued cheering. The honors were
evenly shared between the men who
were leaving yesterday and the men
who go to-day.
Troop C as Escort
The 'Governor's Troop acted as H
special escort of honor to the depart
ing guardsmen. The men of Troop-
C, together with the departing units
of the Eighth Regiment comprising
Company I, the Machine Gun Com
pany, Company, Sup
ply Company and the Medical Corps
represented a splendid spectacle, as
they marched through narrow lanes
of humanity, seldom looking to the
right or left.
Ranks Separate
While most of the soldiers were
anxious to leave for the southern
training camp, that more Intensive
training may be received, the final
hours were filled with sober reflec
tions. There were too many weep
ing mothers, sisters and sweethearts
and grave-faced fathers and broth
ers alpng the way for it to be other
wise.
To the strains .of stirring music
the soldiers marched over the route
arranged by the City Grays Asso-
ciation. When the' first division
reached the entrance to the Pennsyl
vania station, lines were broken, anil
civilians and organizations stood at
attention while the military units
passed down Market street. The
members pf the departing contingent
marched into the station, and went
immediately to the troop trains
which were in readiness.
Church Chimes Sound
Evfery intersecting street and alley'
threw a mass of humanity into the!
station enclosure, and persons leav-j
ing on the regular trains made their
way into the depot only after con
siderable effort. The boys entrained
while the chimes of Zion Lutheran
Church pealed out the strains of i
"America" and "Onward, Christian
Soldiers."
In the station, those who had se-;
cured orders from the passenger do-1
partment, were permitted to pass ;
down the steps. Hundreds of per-]
sons spent the last half hour with \
loved ones.
Many affecting scenes were wlt-j
nessed just before the signal was:
given for the train to leave.
Many Sa<l Scenes
"Oh, Jimmy, I don't See how I
can leave you go," sobbed one gray-j
haired mother to her stalwart boy, |
who held her in a last close em-!
brace.
"Hush, mother, everything will be 1
all right," was the response. Jimmy,
too, did not succeed in keeping the!
moisture from his eyes, or the liuski- j
ness from his.volce. "You have often'

uncles when they went away."
(i "Yes, Jimmy," sobbed the mother,
"but two of tlieni never came back.
Suppose "
"There, there, mother, don't cry.
I'm coming back. And even if you
never see me again, you'd rather
have it that way than to have folks
say I had been a slacker."
Jimmy's mother was alternately
waving her handkerchief and wiping
her eyes as the troop train sped over
the Susquehanna river bridge.
Cheerful Without
fheerful without, but sad within,
was the attitude of the huge crowd
that gathered to see the lioys "on
their way." Mothers and fathers,
sisters and brothers, sweethearts and
friends, crowded the curb to watch
them march by. It is estimated th-.t
50,000 saw them leave. Of this large
assemblage it can be safely said that
only a few will not carry in their
memory a picture of the "boys"
leaving.
| That the soldiers regretted their
j leavetaking was evident. Loaded
with all manner of gifts they board

j refused to look from the window as
the train moved on its way. Candy
j and sweet things were the chief gifts
I and along the way to Camp Han-
I cock the boys will be often reminded
1 of the loved ones they left behind.
A pathetic scene was enacted at
.! Market Square before the parade
j started. An old man of about sev
-1 enty, gray-liaired, and walking with
a step that betrayed his age, shyly
approached a commanding: officer.
With a voice that shook with emo
tion he said, "Officer, 1 don't want
to take up your time, but please
promise me one thing. Take care of
my boy. He is/all that X have, and
please see that he is careful. 1 glad
ly give him for my country. Will
you promise me that, officer?"
"I certainly will. Every boy un
der my charge will receive the great
est care and the mothers and fath
ers of the boys of this regiment need
not fear for their safety. If the
worst comes to worst it can be said
that the Harrisburg youths acted
like men," replied the officer.
All of the sections passing through
this city yesterday were routed over
the Cumberland Valley to Hagers
town, iMd. All along the way, until
nightfall, groups of spectators stood
along the railroad right-of-way. In
companies and in groups, waiting for
the troop trnins.
immediately following the train
which bore away the Harrisburg
boys, another section, the cars bear
ing Hamburg pennants, passed
through the city.
At Carlisle, the Cumberland Val
ley tracks pass over the principal
thoroughfare of the city. Because
of the great crowds thronging the
Streets there, the several sections
were diverted to the freight tracks.
find did not pass through the city
proper. The train bearing the Island
boys closely followed the 5.42 pas
senger train from Harrisburg, and
the cars containing the Carlisle com
pany were added to the train at the
siding above the Carlisle station.
The boys are traveling In day
coaches. During the trip to Canip
Hancock they will have to sleep as
best they can. One Pullman car, tor
the use of the official staff, was pro
vided. They will probably reach
Camp Hancock to-morrow about
noon.
DROVE AWAY HIS
PAINS
Frank R. Green, 1131 Monroe
street, Ilarrisburg, says for a long:
time I had ailed with rheumatism
and impure blood.
My body was broken out with a
sort of rash, which did not look
good to me.
1 was weak and worn had no Rin
ger, and just worked under forced
draught.
■fro help things along, I was in mis
ery with pains throughout my body
and at times was so stiff that I could
hardly get out of bed and was so
sore that I could hardly bear to
have anything touch me.
I tried all kinds of medicine but
nothing helped.
1 heard of the wonderful work
Sanpan was doing and felt that it
would help me.
Well it has straightened me out
fine, the rash has gone, the rheuma
tism and pains are gone too and I
now have plenty of vim.
Sanpan drove away my troubles.
Sanpan is now being introduced at
Keller's Drug Store, 405 Market
street,, Harrisburg, where the San
pan man is meeting the people.—■
