every one of them, even to the mounted
police from the park, was earning his
salary in the crowds, so the general
and his staff had to make way for
themselves. The line came up on the
north side of Market, and with howl
OF apprehension all those on the south
side rushed across to find a new and
better position. They left a small wedge
of street, beginning with the generals
staff and ending on the sidewalk in
front Of the Crocker building, and there
they stayed. Only the fear of being
trampled upon by the oncoming horses
made them grudgingly give way to the
cartracks.
Once started the parade moved fairly
well, although frequent halts told of
difficulties at the head and flying
horsemen brought forward news of de-
lays in the rear. Twice before they
reached Sansome street the volunteers
had to halt to untangle themselves
from the eager shouters, and it took
them over an hour to reach Kearny.
All this came up the street from mouth
to mouth, for the escort was still pass
ing.
First there were the regular ranks
of the United States Foot Artillery,
followed by the rumbling guns oftthe
light batteries, with the cavalry COM
ing after. Then came the National
Guard, with General Dickinson at it's
head, and the Governor following after
with the Legislature. The Legislature
was not appreciated. The people
thought the legislators were but ordi-
nc o1 t1-b0 eriIr
mission to march in the parade. and
unwilling to allow others an additional
privilege, the crowds took aftsr the
lawmakers and the police had to draw
their clubs again.
The legislators marched in all the
dignity of office holders, scanning the
crowds for friends that they might be
saluted and might salute in return
They had one chance, at least, for as
they passed the yellow building they
looked upward and were rewarded by
seeing Mr.. Herrin himself sitting in
his office window on the sixth floor
There was no one to give the order
but the maneuver was eXcellently eX-
ecuted. With one accord the legis-
lators bowed deferentially, and one or
two forgetting the altitude of the
window, tipped their hats and said
pleasantly Good morning, Mr.. Her
rim" Mr.. Herrin bowed affably and
the legislators moved on.
The Fifth Regiment marched well
and with full ranks Behind it was
the Naval Reserve with four gun
battery. the whole under command of
Captain L. H. Turner. They came
steadily after their band, the gold

eral while the batterymen followed on
after the regiment. Beyond the review
ing station the escort had been drawn
up in line, and as the column passed
the line saluted and every band played.
There were many tunes, but one band
had the tact to select Home, Sweet
Home" and the boys stopped to give
1t cheer as they went by.
On down Van Ness the welcome was
the same. The cheer was not so loud
nor deep, but it had the shrill, childish
treble that was absent from the roar
of the downtown crowd. All who could
not brave the crush saw the parade on
the avenue, and the crowd there was
brighter, gayer, happier, than that
along Market street. Ladies pre-
dominated, and they were dressed in
all the colOrs of the season. The crowd
that lined the avenue was like the
patterns Of kaleidoscope, like a bit
of q rainbow, caught and held for the
boys in brown. On the vacant lots be-
yond Clay street the children held
boisterous sway, and on a high hill on
the corner of Filbert the people had
climbed up and they hung on the
slopes like goats.
At Lombard the column turned west
ward again and headed for the Pre-
sidio. Up the street the artillery es-
cort was waiting, and as the volun-
teers caught up 1t led the column along.
Discipline was relaxed as soon as
Lombard street was reached, and
friends, who had been driven from the
ranks after reaching the avenue, were
allowed to go back again. They crowd
ed among the soldiers, carrying haver
sack, rifle or canteen as the humor
seized them. The soldiers carried
everything but their blankets and so
the assistance was not unwelcome.
Then the better to ease the boys route
step was ordered, and the column
broke into an irregular straggle of
soldiers, citizens and their wives and
sons and daughters.
1t was this way until just before the
head of the column reached the Pre-
sidio. The band of the Third Artillery
had drawn to one side and the volun-
teers Strengthened their ranks and
came to attention as they passed
through the gate to stirring quick
step.
Inside the gate there was another
crowd as big as ever People who had
seen the parade downtown hurried to
the cars and went to the Preside to
meet the troops there, and they were
packed along the road, on the build
ings and up into the camp where the
men We're to go. Through the crowd
the boys forced their way, and they
were halted among the tents that for
a while are to be their home
They are camped up on the hill over

bay; up where the west wind can bring
the light back into their eyes and the

at liberty to go where they pleased and
do as their inclination dictated until
this morning. Freedom from military
trials and tribulations had come at
last The boys had been given back by
the nation and they belonged now to
their families and friends. 1t was a
glad meeting of long separated fam
lilies, a reunion affectionate, fearful and
demonstrative, that lost nothing of it's
pathetic dignity because it came in the
presence of gazing thousands rather
than in the sacred privacy Of homes.
Those that had no other bond than the

to be sacrificed for little while longer.
The first hours of freedom were not
long In coming, for as soon as the men
were settled everybody but the small
guard were given furlough until 10
o'clock this morning. With that privi-
lege in view it did not take the boys
long to settle down. They went to their
tents quickly and slowed their arms
and accouterments and were ready for
home. When they were settled they
were let go, and the n-coated men
lost no time in getting into the city.
Last evening the camp was deserted;
there were no men and no officers. and
a small guard from the Colorado men
kept watch over their effects.

Mr.. S. Greenway is becoming
very popular with our citizens as
n candidate foI commissioner, the
only Office they care about secnr-
ing, and 1t certainly seems that
the republican party will only be
too anxions to nominate n man
who will run as far head of his
ticket as Mr., Greenway. Ho has
lived in our midst about go years
and has spotless record; few men
have greater acquaintance in the
county. Prior TO locating in Col
orado Mr.. Greenway was in the
hardware business in Chicago for
seven years and was a successful
business man. Locating in Colora-
do Springs ho remained FIVE
years, and was instrumental in
building many substantial i'm
provements there, in planting trees
and in various ways giving ,his
attention to the improvement of
the city. He superintendent the
building of the Manitou House in
Manitou. His first vote was cast for
Abraham Lincoln and he has been
a republican ever since. The dele
gatiou from the north end Of the
county, l3 precincts, will no doubt
will be solid for Mr.. Greenway.
He never asked for an Office before
and the eaAldenee he enjoys oi
all who know him will certainly
materially assist him in this cam
paign. lie is a thorough and
successful business man, one who
has made success for himself and
will be successful in representing
the people. No better material
can be found for the place and he
will be untiring in his efforts TO dc
justice 10 all.

such earnest and untiring christian

LATER.-Since the above was
put in type Mr.. j. E. Dittemore
and other prominent members of
the new Christian organization
were in town looking over the
field and they favor Ebert as the
location for their house of worship.
1t is proposed to erect here the
largest, most commodious and
