CHINA!
Startling Reports and Sensa-
tional Stories!
NO DEFINITE NEWS
AS to Fate of Foreigners In Picking or
of Operations at Tien Sing.

There has been no reliable news from
Pekin since July 6, when the members
of Foreign Embassies were all safe.
The report that all of them have been
slaughtered has had no confirmation,
and the Foreign Powers are culpable
for not moving large force more
promptly to their relief, If living, and
to stop the insurrection from spreading,
before it involves more of China
Reports from Tien-Tsing are con-
Trajectory. The first reports were that
the allies had repulsed an attack on
that city, that they had captured an
arsenal without the city and destroyed
it, and that the Americans and Japa-
nese won the honors.
A later dispatch from an Associated
Press agent reports that the allies were
repulsed in an attack on the Chinese in
the old city, on the 18th, and lost heav-
lily. This report is contradictory and
evidently sensational.
Admiral Remey telegraphed Sunday,
that it was reported" that the
Allies had been repulsed at Tien Tsin,
on the 18th with heavy slaughter, but
he has had no news giving details or
confirming the report. Chefoo is 200
miles from Tien Tsin with no telegraph
or other connection.
Admiral Remey's dispatch is as fol-
lows:
Reported that allied forces attacked native
city morning 18th. Russians right with Ninth
Infantry and marines on the left. Losses OF
| allied forces large: Russians 100, including
| artillery Colonel; Americans over 80; British
over 40. Japs 5s, including Colonel. French Is
Colonel Liscum. Ninth Infantry, killed; also
| Captain Davis, marine corps. Captain Lem.
ley, and Lieuts. Butler and Leonard wound.
ed. At 200 O'Clock this evening allied ATTACK
on native city was repulsed with great loss.-
Returns yet incomplete; details not yet con
frmed. REMEY.
On the fiimsy basis of these reports
Europe and America have gone wild
and sensational newspapers are report
ing that Congress is to be called to
gether.
Our Government has already ordered
Ia, 900 troops to China, her full share
and there is no probability that Con
gress will be called together.
1t is said that the Allied force tha
was repulsed SO disastrously at Tiel
Tsin on the 18th, numbered 1000
Remey's dispatch shows total loss o
I173, killed and wounded. This woult
be terrible" loss out of force o
1900! We have known single regi
ment of less than 500 men to lose 81
linen in battle, and hold its position
The story from Remey, therefore, give
no evidence of desperate battle, in tn
losses reported.
| But sensational dispatches sell sensa
tional dailies.

4 DESPERATE HOBO
Defied the Marshal, and Attack
ed Him With a knife.
THE MARSHAL'S REVOLVER
CAME NEAR ENDING THE HOBO'S
CAREER.

Friday, a bicycle was stolen from a
party in Larue. Word was telegraph
ed along the line of the Big Four, that
it.was thought the thief was on freight
train coming west.
At Harper, the operator, after getting
notice, watched as the train came into
that place, and saw three tramps and q
bicycle on an oil tank car, and sent
word to Bellefontaine.
Early Saturday morning, Mr.. Harvey
Carter bought a bicycle OF hobo, pay
ing 50. He notified Marshal Herman,
and went with him to the Big -Four
shop yards to point out the man. They
found him with two others drinking
beer. When Herman told the fellow
to come with him, that he was under
arrest, the tramp told him he couldn't
take him, and pulled knife with
which he struck at the Marshal.
The Marshal was taking no chances,
and the fellow didn't get time to
make second blow, for ball from the
Marshal's revolver glanced from the
hobo's head, knocking him senseless.
The Marshal thought he had killed
the chap, but he came to, in little bit,
and made no further resistance, but
went quietly to the jail.
The hobo was taken to Larue Sum-
day, for trial. The marshal who call
ed for him, didn't as much as thank
Marshal Herman, who had risked his
| life to make the arrest.
| p S.-The bicycle was recovered,
and taken back with the hobo.

Our Government Concerned.

The sensational news from China has
caused great excitement in California,
where there are so many Chinese, es-
pecially in San Francisco and if the re-
ports prove true that American women
and children were massacred in Peklng,
it is feared that mob will burn China
town and murder Chinese in San Fran
cisco.
AS distinguished man as ex-U. S.
Senator White, of California, has urged
the Administration to seize the Chinese
Minister WI and his attaches at Wash
ington, and hold them as hostages for
Minister Conger and his family and
other Americans in Peking demand
ing an eye for an eye. This is horrible.
We are not barbarians. Our Govern
ment will demand and secure repara-
tion and satisfaction for all injury that
is done our officials and citizens; but
we will do nothing for revenge. We
are glad to say, therefore, that our
Government has ordered a battalion of
regulars to China, via San Francisco!
They will be very handy to have
around, in case the hoodlums of San
Francisco attempt to murder the Chi
nese, on the coast, out Of revenge. The
good name of our fair country must not
be- tarnished.

THE STREET CARNIVAL.
Contract Closed With w. S. Heck,
of Cincinnati.

The Committee, Friday, closed the
contract with w. S. Heck, of Cincin-
natl, to manage the Street Carnival to
be held in Bellefontaine, August 6, I,
8, 9, 10, IL.
Quite number of attractions and
shows were offered, and the Committee
Investigated carefully, desiring to Sc
cure nothing that would not be credit
able and reputable, and finally accept
ed Heck's offer, after some additions
and changes.
Heck was running Street Fair at
Rushsville, Ind, last week, and will be
here tomorrow to begin work.
To make the Fair success our citi-
zens and business men must do their
part. Merchants and other business
men should make their places as at
tractive as possible, and should make
some specially in their line every day
of the Fair to draw crowd.
The attractions were secured at q
cost of 1920. Among these is Weitzman
the high wire performer, who crossed
Niagara Falls, the Bartholomew Horse
Show, that is star, and has fine brass
band with it.
The shows will be seven in number,
and will be open each day.
Mr.. Sloan, the agent of the Big Four
has guaranteed excursion rates from
Union City, Findlay, Carey, Dayton and
Gallon. These tickets will be good
coming to our city any time during the
week of the Carnival and to return the
following Monday.
The Fair is given to raise funds to as
sist the city in entertaining the G. A.
r. State Encampment for 1901, and
will receive liberal patronage as ev-
erbody is determined that our young
city shall do the handsome thing for the
Encampment.

FIERCE FIRE!
G. L. Robb's Workshop and Carter
Bros Barn Burned. s.

About nine O'Clock Saturday night,
an alarm of fire called out the Depart
ment and a big crowd of sight seers.
The old workshop of Mr.. G. L. Robb
that formerly stood on Main street,
and which had been moved back onto
the alley, was discovered to be on fire.
There was some little delay in the
Department getting to work, and the
building, whose inside contained tur-
pentine, oil, and varnish, went up like
a flash. A column of smoke lighted up
by the flames, and spangled with burn
ing sparks and Goals made pillar that
lighted up all that part of the city.
From this building, the flames spread
to the stable of Carter Bros, and
threatened the stables of MI s.. Ellen
Ansley and of Mr.. C. Weymouth, hard
by. The Carter stable was full of hay,
and was soon fuel for the flames, but
the other. stables were saved. Had
there been strong wind in any direc-
tion the chances are there would have
been a number of residences burned.
The loss was only few hundred dol
lars

"WHERE ARE We ATT"
An U. S. Officer Seeking Information
Makes Surveys and Observations
From the Highest Point.

J. w. Miller, of the U. S. Coast and
Geodetic Survey, has been busy for
several days, establishing meridian
on the highest point on the C. D. Camp
bell farm, east of the city. Scientists,
the world over, for years, have striven
in vain to find the causes, and the law
governing the same, for the variation
of the magnetic needle. 1t is well
known that the needle rarely points
exactly to the north, varying several
points, generally to the west, but some
times to the east of the north pole.
The U. S. GeOdetic Office has deter
mined on a system of experiments, and
are establishing fifteen stations in vari-
Gus parts of the country, from which
observati ons will be made frequently,
and simultaneously to determine the
variation of the needle at these points.
These readings will all be sent to the
Department at Washington, and there
compared, record kept and studied to
see if anything can be learned from
them. Mr.. Miller has established q

planted stone along the pike, giving
a line for comparison. Another line
from the stone on the Point to the flag
staff on the Court House will be used,
and another line from the stone to a
point southwest. The Court House
tower is rs degrees west of south, or IA
degrees south of west, from the monu-
ment on the highest point. AS deter
mined by Mr.. Miller, the latitude of
the highest point is 40 degrees and 1928
minutes north of the equator.
Mr.. Miller had not completed his
calculations as to the longitude, when
he left.
