PEACE AT LAST.
Russian and Japanese War at an
nd.
Just as we go to press we learn that
the Russian and Tapanese peace com-
missioners have agreed upon terms that
will end one of the bloodiest wars on
record. The Russians agreed to prac-
tically all the demands of the Japanese,
except the payment of indemnity, and
the Russian government also retains
half of Sakhalin Island.
The Japanese have acted most mag-
nanimously in receding from their de-
mand for indemnity, for they undoubt-
edly could have enforced it by again
turning loose the “dogs of war.”
President Roosevelt has covered
himself with glory by his wise counsel
with the warring nations, and the
treaty will bring great advantages to
the United States in acommercial way.
In the meantime the patriotic and
plucky little “Japs” deserve great cred-
it and much congratulation for their
sweeping, one-sided victory over what
had been considered about the most
powerful nation on earth, but which in
reality is only a gigantic conglomera-
tion of rottenness, despotism, ignorance
and hypocrisy.

And lockin®' horns with Providence.

An Idiotic Law Passed by the Last
Pennsylvania Legislature.
After January 1 of next year, every
birth and death in the state of Penn-
sylvania must be reported to the offi-
cer in charge of the district wherein
it occurs, and certificates issued by
the proper authorities. The late as-
sembly appropriated $20,000 for the es-
tablishment of a central bureau of vi-
tal statistics to be under the super-
vision of the state board of health and
have charge of the state registration
of births and deaths. The state will be
divided into registration districts, one
for each city, borough and township.
This new department will relieve the
assessors of a portion of work, ag here-
tofore they have attended to the regis-
tering of births and deaths, receiving a
fee of five cents for each one.
A state registrar, a medical practi-
tioner for at least 10 years, will be at
the head of the department, and a
local registrar will preside over each
district. All deaths must be promptly
reported to him, and no body can be
interred until a death certificate has
been issued, giving the name, age and
occupation of the deceased, cause of
death, parents’ names and address,
etc. Each birth must also be reported
and a certificate issued. In case of
plural births, a certificate must be is-
sued for each child. The local regis-
trar provides all blanks and receives a
fee of 25 cents for each birth and death
recorded. The state registrar gets a
salary of $5,000 per year, with $8,000
for four assistant clerks, and $5,000 for
incidental expenses.

He is Able, but May be Unwilling.
V. R. Baylor, attorney for the Elk
Lick school board, presented a petition
signed by four members of the board,
asking for a writ of alternative manda-
mus against the Poor Directors of this
county. The petition sets forth than
Robert Harding, an unmarried man
unable to support himself. had con-
tracted smallpox, and the school board
had established and maintained a
quarantine about the premises where
he lives. Besides Harding, there were
several other persons in the family
whom the directors had to support.
The school board contends that the
subjects should be charges of the
county, but that the Directors of the
Poor have refused assistance. The
writ was allowed, Attorney Yost ap-
pearing for the directors. It has sever-
al times been held by the Courts of
this state that each district must, if it
is able, look after its own subjects, and
acting under those decisions, the Poor
Directors have been refusing aid to the
districts for some months.—Somerset
Standard.
In connection with the above state-
ment, THE Star takes the liberty to
state that Robert Harding is an able:
bodied young man, hence thoroughly
able to support himself, but may be
unwilling to do so. He wishes to pose
as a great fighter, and any young man

Oldest Lutheran in Somerset
County.
Probably the most observed man in
the throng at the Lutheran reunion
Thursday was Israel Welfley, who
proudly acknowledges that if spared
until coming December he will cele-
brate the ninety-fourth anniversary of
his birth. Mr. Welfley is the oldest
Lutheran in Somerset county, but this
fact was unknown to most of those
who grasped his hand in greeting. In
truth, Mr. Welfley’s clean shaven and
well-rounded face gives him the ap-
pearance of a much younger man, and
if his age was not a matter of record
he would find it difficult to convince
his friends that he is almost a centen-
arian. Mr. Welfley comes from an old
Elk Lick township family, but for
many years has lived at Confluence,
where he is highly esteemed by all of
his fellow-townsmen. Two years ago
he made an extended tour of the far
West with a view to observing the
marvelous growth of the Nation, which
had only arrived at the robust age of
thirty-five when he was ushered into
the world. —Somerset Herald.
A Salisbury relative of Mr. Welfley
informs Tur Star that the venerable
gentleman still has all of his natural
teeth, which is in itself a remarkable
fact.

INTERESTING NEVADA LETTER.
Ed. Reitz Sends Account of Big
Indian Peace Conference—Other
Interesting Information Concern-
ing Nevada.
. Carson City, NEVADA, Aug. 20, 190&
Ebprror Star:—I think I have beea
in Carson long enough to write a few
lines about the place, which is a towm
of about 3,000 inhabitants, and is one of
Nevada's oldest towns.
Mining has made this town what it
is. Tons and tons of rich ore has beem
taken out of the hills close by, years
ago, and once in a while there is rich
pocket ore found in the hills yet. The
town is very dull and quiet at present,
but being the state capital helps it
That, and the rich farming land, hold
the place up.
If it would rdin more here, it would
be better for the land. but it seldom
rains. It hasn’t rained any here since
the 1st of June, but God does not let
the many thousand acres of land suffer.
It snows but very little in the valleys,
but throws a heavy snow on the moun-
tains, thus making a great amount of
water through spring and summer.
This country is blessed with many
beautiful mountain streams for irrigat-
ing purposes, and nowhere is the water
more pure.
I went out fishing to one of the
mountain streams for a short time, last
month, and caught 38 trout weighing
about 23 pounds.
I send you a clipping concerning twe
tribes of Indians that recently smoked
the pipe of peace, thinking it may in-
terest some of the people in the old
“burg.”
THE PIPE OF PEACE.
After warring continually for the
past hundred years, during which time
countless numbers of braves were slain
in battle, the remnants of the once
powerful tribes. the Washoes and
Piutes, met last night at the camp near
Carson City, and, seated on the ground,
surrounding the embers of a smoulder-
ing campfire, the chieftans of the two
tribes smoked the pipe of peace and
signed the treaty that forever sets aside
the strife and enmity which has existed
between the two nations.
In the presence of a vast crowd of
spectators the braves and squaws of
the two tribes circled around the seat-
ed figures of their stern and sombre
looking chiefs, chanting the wierd
songs of their people and executing the
figures of their strange dance. At the
conclusion of their dance, the striking
figure of Captain Ben, the grizzled
orator and warrior from Walker river,
stepped forward in front of the inter-
ested throng of whites and Indians and
addressed the braves in his own lan-
guage for a brief period, setting forth
the condition that has existed between
the two tribes for so long, and relating
deeds of valor, which have been per-
formed by the warriors on different
occasions.
At the conclusion of Captain Ben's
address, a brave from each tribe, at-
tired in full war dress, advanced to the
center of the circle of chiefs, bearing
between them and resting upon a
shield, a buffalo hide, yellow and
parched with age. This was the de-
claration of war made more than 100
years ago by the chiefs of the two
tribes. TLe shield was placed on the
ground, and Captain Dave, of the Was-
hoes, and Captain Pete, of the Piutes,
advanced and took the aged piece of
buckskin from its resting place. The
two chiefs advanced to the fire, and
the piece of parchment bearing the
mystic symbols which caused the shed-
ding of many a noble red man’s blood
was held over the flames until all trace
of the writing was obliterated. A ves-
sel containing the blood of an ox, ex-
tracted from the jugular vein, was
then brought forth, and on the reverse
side of the ancient relic was placed,
in characters unintelligent to any save
members of the tribes, the words which
are destined to forever set aside the
fueds and intrigues of the natives. The
marks of Captain Dave and Captain
Pete were then affixed to the manu-
script, and the compact which is te
stand the test of time was complete.
The pipe of peace was then smoked,
after which the Indians engaged in a
wierd fantastical dance which lasted
until late in the night. The warriors
then retired to their wigwams and
slumbered peacefully.
Tonight the war dance in all its ter-
rifying aspects will be presented to the
people. The full fighting force of both
tribes will take part in it, and will no
doubt present an interesting and strik-
ing spectacle. Special cars will be rua
by the street car company, and busses
will be at each car to accommodate the
crowd.
