The Russia Japan War Ended

The long and bloody war bet ween
Japan and Russia is ended. The
terms of peace were settled by Mr..
Witte and Baron Komura, at the
session of the conference Tuesday
morning, and in the afternoon pre-
- liminary arrangements for an arms
tice were concluded, and the actual
work of framing the treaty of Ports
mouth" was by mutual agreement
turned over to DeMartens, who for
25 years has acted as thelegal dvis-
er of the Russian foreign office. The
treaty is expected to becompleted by
the end of the week.
The happy conclusion of the con-
ference which week ago would have
been shipwrecked had it hot been for
the heroic intercession of President
Roosevelt, was sudden and dramatic.
For the sake of peace Japan, with
the magnanimitv of victor, at the
last moment yielded everything still
in issue. Russia refused to bulge
from the ultimatum Emperor Nieho-
las had given to President Roosevelt
through Ambassador Meyer. No in
demnity under any guise but an
agreement to divide Sakhalim and re-
imburse Japan for the maintenance
of the Russian prisoners were hislast
words. When it was announced that
Japan in the interest of peace would
yield all points at issue, there was
great rejoicing and White said he did
not dream of such a victory.
1t is happy ending of one of the
greatest wars in the worlds history.

The Lamoile County historical
publication being compiled by Will
liam H. Jeffrey, is nearing compile
ton, and from the sample pages and
engravings that we have seen, we
are confident that the book will be
OF high artistic merit as well as one
of the most valuable of reference
works.
Mr.. Jeffrey possesses the elements
necessary to successful publisher.
He is deeply interested, takes great
pride in his work, and has the
ability and persistency to go over
the ground thoroughly. He has
reached the representative men with
very few exceptions in each locality,
and many important facts and char
acteristics in the lives of the leading
professional and business men of the
present and past are saved 70 history
in his publication. Great care has
been taken also to procure historic
facts in connection with each town
represented that have been omitted
from previous books of like nature.
Mr.. Jeffrey is expected in several
towns in the county again before
long and should receive the cordial
cooperation of all who are interested
in men and human events.

At Work One Whole Day and at Trial
Board Session the Day
Before.

The Police Trial Board had a very
short session yesterday, only one case
being tried. The case in question was
that Of Private A A Roper. charged
with gross neglect of duty.
The complaint against Roper is that
on the night OF July 6, at II O'Clock, he
failed 10 report to his precinct; that al
l O'Clock the next morning he failed to
report, and that he went to sleep and
slept from u O'Clock until shortly after
l o'clock.
Roper pleaded guilty 10 being asleep
and neglecting 10 call UP his station
house He stated that he went to the
box at y clock on the night of July
intending to report, but got into a
converse ton With TWO men. IF he did
not report he merely forgot to dc SO.
The TWO meE who were with him We're
present. As they did not see him turn
in their testimony was not given.
He said that after II O'Clock he was
detailed TO another beat, and went into
q lunch room at 2Q,Q Seventh street
northwest. Later went 10 his other
beat. Soon after reaching his beat he
lay down OF a pile Of bricks and went
to sleep.
This was the cause of his falling to
report at the proper time. He gave as
an excuse the fact that besides being
on duty for a whole day he attended the
trial board the, day before. when he

Protest Filed Against Railroads oper-

The National Wholesale Lumber Deal
ers' Association, with headquarters in
New York city, has brought two COM
plants before the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
One is against the Atlantic Coast Line
and other railroads operating in the
territory south of the Potomac and
Ohio and east of the Mississippi rivers
The other complaint is registered
against the Pennsylvania and other rail-
reads operating north of the Potomac
and Ohio and east of the Mississippi
rivers
The complaint against the railroads
IS that the shippers of lumber are
obliged to spend Sc a car for racking
the lumber on fat cars, which the
railroads really ought TO pay. but for
which they allow a differential of but
500 pounds PEI car, which is not suff1-
cient.

lations IN question result in unreason-
