The Democratic organ has been publishing double column, black type articles about the great record made at the Ross county Infirmary in the past three or four years. What the News-1 Advertiser says about the infirmary is true, with this exception: The record was piled up by a Republican Board of Infirmary Directors, of which Mr. Kathe, to whom they give all the credit, was but one-third. The majority was a Republican majority, with Frank Long and Alf Immel voting that majority. The tail did not wag the dog in the infirmary business, any more than it docs anywhere else.

The claims made for Katho are merely assumed, and T. Miller, the Republican candidate for County Commissioner, at whom this amunition Is aimed, Is just as capable to fill the county commissioner's office as Kathe is. 'we VIGO, SPAIN, NOV. 1.

a Protests His Friends Claim no Foundation For Charge Against Him. Mieriff Devine returned from Columbus, Monday evening at six o'clock, with Karl Ballard, who has been Indicted by the grand jury for the murder of Alex Gindelspeiger in 1HUG. Ballard was at his home in Westervllle, a suburb of Columbus, and knew that De-vine was coming. He had already Been lawyer before the sheriff arrived. He has a farm at Westervllle and a large family.

me impression was se cured that Ballard had made an at tempt to leave Columbus, but this is incorrect. before catching his train in this citv Monday inornluGr. Sheriff Devine learned Uiat Ballard was not living iu Columbus, and he in structed his deputies to secure his address, which was done. The sheriff this morning sent him to Greenfield to consult his friends, and to arrange for giving bond. Mr.

Ballard returned at noon, accompanied by Attorney Coke L. Doster and Mr. Martin Tracy, of Greenfield, and Mr. Granville Reed, of Thrifton, this county, and at a conference held this afternoon with Clerk J. C.

Staggs and Prosecutor Claypool, arranged to give bond in the sum of 7,000, with Messrs. Tracy and Reed as sureties. This done, Mr. Ballard left on the 4:40 train for his home near Columbus. Mr.

Ballard, in talking to the Gazette, said that he had retained Mr. Doster as his attorney and that he wanted to get back to his home as soon as possible, lie also wanted to have his trial as quickly as could be ar ranged, for he felt certain there was no foundation for the charge against him Mr. Tracy said: 'This action is a most outrageous one indeed. I have known Mr. Rallard for a great many years and 1 know that he Is entirely in nocent of this crime, or that he had any connection with it.

jsaiiard was running a store In Greenfield at the tune the murder occurred, and he is the kind of a man who would drive three miles out of his road to say how do you do to a friend. He stopped to shake hands with old Alex Glndel- sperger that afternoon, because Gindel- qierger was a good customer of his. "As to Ballard owing Gindelsperger money, and giving that as a motive for the crime, there Is nothing to It. Gindelsperger was a thrifty German, and he owed some money on lus farm, and If ho owed money, it was not his way of doing business to have any to loan out. Anyway, he would not have loaned Ballard or any one else any money without good security, so you sei that story falls to the ground.

No sir, 1 can say that 1 fully believe that the authorities have not yet found or arrested the man who killed Alex Gin delsperger. Whether this case will bring any more light on the mystery I cannot say, but of this I am fullv con vlnced, Ballard had no more to do with that murder than you did, and his arrest, I think, is ill founded to soy the least.

1. The news that Russian fleet had sailed from Vigo, Spain, caused much excitement, not only here but among the British European squadron which has been collected at Gibraltar. Under the proposed plan of submitting the differences caused by the North Sea firing by the Russian fleet upon the British fishing fleet it was un derstood that the, Russian squadron vvoulu be detailed for twenty days at Vi.n. ihirins? the investigation by the i a international court of the question as to who was at fault. The news from Vigo indicates that the Russians sailed from the harbor' at Vigo without giving any warning, and thut after they had veiled some time firing waa heard at sea.

What this firing indicated is not known. The mere fact that the Russians had seemingly disregarded the preliminaries to the agreement for settlement by this sailing away caused active preparations both here and at Gibraltar for any eventuality. The fleet and garrison at Gibraltar were made ready and a cabinet meeting was called for to-morrow. Up to two o'clock this afternoon no official explanation had been given for the orders to the Gibraltar garrison, and all that could be ascertained was that there was some hitch to the negotiations between Russian and Great Count Benckendorff, the. Russian minister was received in audience by King Edward this afternoon, and it is presumed that he was L.e bearer of a message from Emperor Nicholas.

The cabinet meeting called for Wednesday afternoon, it is understood is to draft the plan fur the international commission which was uretmred at a conference last night, of Count Beuck-endorff, and Balfour, Selnorue and Lansdowne so that it could be sent to St. Petersburg for approval. Tiiat some satisfaction arose to-day because of the sailing from Vigo, of the Russian fleet without detaining the officers concerned in the North Sea fir ing incident is patent if not made pub lic it is said that Count Benchcu drolf la await xcr advices in regard to tlii-i aew feature in the ctuse. Late this afternoon the Press Association issued this statement: "It 'hute reason to believe the action of the Rus-i sian Admiral has again wrought the Anglo-Russian crisis dangerously close to an acute stage." The action re-, ferred to is the sailing away from Vigo, leaving only four subordinate officers to give evidence at St. Petersburg, and then testify before the International Commission.

A dispatch from Alder-Wt Camp, says that orders have been issued for strong drafts of all branches of the engineers to be in readiness to leave for Gibraltar at short notice.
