LATER REPORTS FROM CHAFFEE.

The following dispatch shows that
the Americans did not take part in the
battle of Pietsang, although present,
and they therefore suffered no loss.
The fighting was done by the Japanese,
who suffered all the losses, except q
few by the British. The Americans
were on the left of the allied line, but
the ground on which the battle was
fought was so narrow, that they could
not get room to deploy. The fight was
probably between the river and a canal.
Gen. Chaffee does not say the Ameri-
cans were in reserve, and therefore
held the post of honor, as stated by
Gen. Corbin at Washington, but they
were in the rear expecting to be de-
ployed on the line of battle, but were
not able to be deployed, by reason OF
the limited character of the ground,
which prevented an extension of the
line. The dispatch also shows that
the army would cross the Peiho to the
left Tor east) bank, Monday morning,
and move on Yang Tsun, fifteen miles
distant, and news is expected daily OF
fight or foot-race at that point. The
fighting at Pei-ho does not indicate
that the allies will have any serious
trouble in reaching Peking.
| Gen. Chaffee's message is as follows:
i ''Chefoo, Aug. 5.
"Peitsang handsomely taken early
this morning by Japanese troops sup
ported by English and Americans.
Japanese loss considerable; English
slight; Americans none. Ground very
limited. In morning American troops
Occupied rear position, which was to
form turning movement, but were un-
able to form in line. We will cross
Peiho to left bank tomorrow morning,
and move on Yangstun.

Ex-SpEAKER REED Quit politics

Ex-SPEAKER REED quit politics be-
cause he could not endorse the Admin
istration's policy, and now declines to
take any part in his policy. We are
afraid Mr.. Reed, great man that he is,
has made mistake in putting himself
above his party. There are few Ad-
ministr ations that suit everybody in
all things, but the question is not
whether Mr.. Mckinley or his Admin
istration have been right in all things.
A far more important question is
Will the country, its business, its iber-
ties, and its prosperity be safer in the
hands of Mckinley than in the hands
of Bryan: safer in the hands of Gates
than in the hands of Atgelt; safer in
the hands of Root than in the hands OF
Croker; safer in the hands of the Re-
pu blicans than in the hands OF the
Democrats end Populists? 1t is fear
full arraignment of his party, that 8
Republican makes, who says that it i:
not more worthy of his support, than {
party which has only brought civi
war, financial failure, and business
paralysis upon the county, within fift.

mend it as party than to successful.

THE STREET FAIR
THE VERY BEST ONE YOU EVER
ATTENDED, OR OF WHICH
YOU EVER HEARD.

The crowds increase continually.
Monday the attendance was fair, Tues
day some better, Wednesday doubled,
and Thursday everything was perfect
Jam. You never saw anything like it
in Bellefontaine. Our business men
have showed fine spirit of enterprise
and many creditable booths are dis
played. Mack Dickinson & Co. won the
flag by having the prettiest booth
ready at the appointed time. The long
line of booths on Main and Columbus
streets are almost as great sight as
the midway. The weather got hotter
and hotter, but the crowds come in
spite of the temperature, and today the
largest of all is expected. The floral
parade will bring thousands of people
to witness the beautiful sight.

The Rev. Mark Williams of Shandon,

A GREAT SORROW
Is the Death Of Albert McMillen.
Dies at Hamer Hospital After an ILL.,
ness Of ~ Hours. 90,

Tuesdays REPUBLICAN noticed the
severe illness of bowel trouble of AL
bert McMillen never dreaming that
before nightfall he would be on earth
no more forever. He had been at work
on Monday on the Williamson & Le-
sourd display, north of the Court House.
In the evening, he was sundenly taken
i'll with pain in the bowels, suffered
intensely all night, and in the morning
the physician said the only chance of
life was to submit to an operation. He
was taken to the Hamer hospital, but
human skill availed not, and five
hours after the operation he
quietly passed away. Conscious almost
to the last, he bade goodbye to his
children, but the loving wife could
not be with him. Those who Witnessed
the parting of the father from his little
ones will never forget the scene. His
wife, with babe but three days of age,
was at the home, and not until Thurs
day morning did she have sight of
the face of the one who had been dear
est of all to her.
The body was taken to Kennedy's
undertaking establishment until Thurs
day forenoon, when for few hours time
it was taken to the home, before being
carried to the church where the funer-
al was held.
He leaves wife and seven children,
six girls and baby boy born last Sat
urday. They were all SO happy in the
coming of the little brother. 1t did
not seem possible SO great a sorrow
could come so soon.
His mother is seriously i'll with paral-
ysis, and three children are i'll
with whooping cough. Hearts ache,
and many tears are shed for James AL
bert McMillen. An Elder in the Pres
byterian church, a faithful Christian
Endeavor worker, teacher in the
Sunday School, always at the
prayer meeting and ready to take part
he lived the Christian life that he
professed.
| The funeral services were held in
the First Presbyterian church, Thurs
day at 2:30, and many persons turned
away, unable to get into the church.
The services were unusually impres
sive. Beautiful hymns were sung by
the quartet church choir.
After the Scripture reading ani
prayer, the pastor, Rev. G. E. Davies
and pastor emeritus testified to the
character and Christian helpfulness OF
the dear brother. DR.. Kalb had known
him from childhood and said she was {
good boy" The eldest. of six children
he was fatherless at the age of II, ani
was always devoted son and brother
May the merciful Father who caret
for Albert McMillen care for those whit
are left without an earthly father, ani
| for the wife and mother so sorely be
reft.
Six elders served as pail bearers
The Junior Order conducted the ser
vices.
Albert McMillen was about 43 year
Iof age. At the time of his death, b,
was Financial Secretary of the Jr. o
U. A. M. OF this city, also deputy Stat'
Councillor, member of the Macca
bees and K. G. E., from which order
his wife will receive about $1250 insur
ance and benefit. He also carried
