The sword, which has been so long
and distinguished military weapon,
has been placed on the retired list.
British army authorities have decided
that in the future unmounted officers
shall carry carbine instead OF Il sword
during manoeuvers and in active
service. The decision is the result of
experience gained in the war in South
Africa. The sword is not only useless
as a weapon, except in close quarters,
but it serves as mark to distinguish
the officer from his men. He thus
becomes target for the enemy's
sharpshooters and when the private
soldiers have small power of initiative,
as in the European armies, the loss OF
u large number OF officers may mean
disaster. The passing OF the sword is
one OF the signs OF the changed con.
ditions OF war.

Charles Nordstrom who was con.
vlcted as the murderer of Willie Ma
son ten years ago was executed in
Seattle last Friday, protesting his in
nocence to the last. The evidence
against him WAS purely circumstan.
tial and it, pei chance, he was not the
guilty one the state has shed the
blood of an innocent man. 1t is a
grave question whether the life OF q
human being should be taken under
any circumstances and the awful mis-
takes that are frequently occurring
are among the reasons causing posi-
tive objections to capital punishment.
That there are many cases meriting
the death sentence cannot be doubted,
yet when an error has been made that
is beyond recall we shudder with hor-
ror at this seyerest OF all penalties.
While the evidence may be most
overwhelming at the moment, but as
time passes on the mystery is all ex-
planned when it is too late. The
practice in some of our sister states
to have the Governor issue the death
warrant at his pleasure is not bad
law and is surely sufficient punish
ment to criminals who may daily ex-
pect to go to the gallows, and yet
spend years in prison cell waiting
new light on his particular case.

The crop of 1901 is the greatest
Adams county has ever seen. The
probable average yield OF wheat will
be AZ bushels per acre, which is ten
bushels per acre more than last
year. Conservatively estimated the
total yield OF the county will coed
100000 bushels, which is fully 1,000,-
600 bushels more than was raised in
1900. Had it not been for the heavy
frost that visited this section late in
the spring, the average yield OF the
county would have been So bushels
per acre. Many farmers report an
average OF fifty bushels per acre. The
whole crop of James G. Bennett, who
resides one mile north of town, aver
aged so bushels per acre on 800 acres.
All grain, both spring and fall sown,
is No. l grade. This has been IL
phenomenal year for oats. Consider.
able of the oats sown has grown SC
rank that it is impossible to cut il
with Il header, the usual way in thi;
county. William Biermann, one OF
the leading German farmers OF this
locality, whose farm lies two miles
east, has 160 acres OF oats, all of which
stands over six feet in height. Mr.
Biermann recently undertook to cut
his oats crop with header and was
compelled to resort to mower. The
majority OF oat heads in his field are
six inches in length. Threshing is in
full blast and will last six weeks longer
Notwithstanding many new machines
have entered the field.
