CIVILIZED WARFARE.

There are incidents in plenty ev- cry day of the present war which show that the conception of civilized warfare which is held in this coun- try and among our army and naval officers does not obtain anywhere in Europe, even among the most ad- vanced nations. Not day but brings it's story of the capture and instant shooting of spies, of civilians who have given aid to the enemy, or of villagers who have been caught shooting at invading troops. The shooting of these men and women is done offhand, on the orders of any officer who may happen to be in com mand of the detachment which has captured such viOlators of the rules of war.
 This serves to recall an incident of our war in the Philippines. Major Waller, of the marine corps, serving in the campaign against the treach- erous natives of Samar in command of battalion of marines, in the au- tumn of 1901, found that two natives who were acting as guides and bear CTS were deliberately seeking to in- veigle his command into an ambus- cade and were acting as spies, in constant communication with the enemy. He promptly ordered them shot,
 He was brought to trial and de- tended his action on the ground that he was justified by the laws of war. He escaped punishment not on that ground, but on the ground that his mental condition at the time was not sound, owing to the fearful hardships and suffering which he had under gone in the campaign. But President Roosevelt characterized the shooting of these treacherous spies as "an act which sullied the American name"
 Major Waller is one of the ablest and best equipped officers in the ser vice. He subsequently received pro- motion for his gallant conduct in the relief of the embassies at Picking. He stands at the head of the list of colonels, but the charge against him has prevented his promotion to the highest command in the marine corps, to which his record and capacities in other respects would have entitled him. In any European army of the present day the act which brought condemnation in this country would have been approved and have gone to his credit instead of discredit in his record.-Ex.

VERY LITTLE THREsHiNe.
Wheat Yield In Sterling Was
Dwarfed BY the Haiistorm.

Very little threshing Is to be done
in Sterling this year on account OF
the destructive hail storm that passed
through that section on the evening
OF June IS, says The Good Thunder
, Herald. Those in the center OF the
hail stricken district did not cut
any OF their grain. A few on the
outskirts realized a little grain.
William Dobie threshed forty bushels
OF wheat from thirty acres, and Gus
Fisher sixty bushels OF oats from
fifteen acres, both OF an inferior
quality. Others who harvested are
meeting with the same unsatisfactory
yields. II is learned that the corn
crop will be a fair one. II is out
OF the way of the frost and will soon
be husked. Hog cholera is prevalent
at number OF places and many are
dying. The first killing frost last
year was on the night OF September
q. The thermometer registered
twentyfour degrees on the morning
OF September %.
