Mr.. George Best, colored, called at
tho LIGHT office and complained that
the LIGHT had done him an injustice
i'm saying that his child was buried
by the city. He was informed that
if the LIGHT had done him any
wrong it would give him due correc-
ton, free, as it always does in such
cases, after the matter has been en-
quired into. But Notwithstanding
this fact, Mr.. Best goes to another
paper and pay for correction (?) of
the LIGHT. Enquiry reveals the fact
that Mr.. Scott does not tell the entire
truth in that correction. The Infor-
nation that Mr.. Best's child was
buried by the city was obtained from
the endorsement of the city physician
upon the certificate of death, for
which the LIGHT is, of course, not
responsible. This endorsement was
slight error as Mr.. Best paid part
of the expenses Of the childs funeral.
In the city sections office is an order
from the city physician giving per-
mission for the grave at the city's eX-
pense and the city sexton reports that
the child was SO buried. Mr.. Best,
like some others, received the city's
assistance and now wants to deny it.
1t is not bad nor disgraceful to need
assistance in any way, but it is I'M
grateful to deny that such assistance
has been rendered. The LIGHT en-
deavors to be just and accurate and
there condemns such transactions.

POLITICAL NOTES,

Outside of Jas. H. French, Jno. II.
HambletOn, Jno. H. Bolton, Henry
Elmendorf, Geo. Kalteyer and f.
Groos, no one hears of anyone to beat
Callaghan. All want, says Walter, to
let him finish improvements already
begun! On, Walter!
Common, the eminent frijole, from
Beanville, will probably succeed his
aldermanic self.
Gallagher will either run for mayor
or alderman at large, so "let her CO."
Degener is sure to step down and
out in his usual graceful manner,
while Mickelohn, Bryan's side part
ner, may succeed the placid Hans.
The firm will be there anyhow.
1t is singular that many politicians
are moving into other wards lately.
Do they think they can do more good
among the unterrified.
Ed. Rische, ST.. is now a candidate
for city collector. His son, Ernest,
having resigned in his favor. Alder
man Schaefer, it is said, will be his
opponent.
The probabilities are that one of the
Groos will succeed Pressnall for al
derman in the eighth ward.
Carl Runge is an assured candidate
against Gus. Reiman in the seventh
ward.
John S. Ramsay won't run for
mayor; perhaps it is below his dig
nifty. But funnier things than this
have happened in politics.
Will Dan Lewis run for alderman at
large again? j. Henry Schaefer surely
won't, for he has an eye on the col
lector's office and the administration S
support.
That corner stone joke" of Bra
denis was a good one, but was it a
joke? And Ed. himself is a joke.

Lovers Labor Lost"

Young ladies and young gentlemen
are mostly engrossed in the absorbing
question now of procuring Christmas
presents. In the case of sweethearts
this is a loving and pleasant task.
Mistakes and disappoin tments some
times occur, however, causing a
heartache for one or the other. Here
is case in point. A young lady who
has a sweetheart, land what young
lady has mott thought to give him a
handsome present and concluded a
life-size photograph of herself, suita-
bly, framed, would be just the thing
to soothe the longing palpitations of
his heart, when she was not near
him to hold it down with her silken
tresses, and following out this idea,
hied herself to the nearest pho
tographer and had the photo made.
She was going to frame it and left it
at the photographers for that pur-
pose. The young lady does every
thing in style for fellow when she
tries, you know.
A few days after, her sweetheart
called to get some photos taken, and
the photographer showed him the
photo, and he, in turn, told her. Her
little sweet scheme for his pleasure
has thus failed, and she now refuses
to pay for the photograph or have
anything to do with the matter. She
is right, for half the pleasure of
present is taken away when the
other party knows it will be pre-
scented

Some folks do not seem to under
stand the meaning of the word mill
linery. Wolfson does. Call and in
spect his bonnets, hats, artificial flow
ers and trimmings and be convinced.
1t was on these goods that he took
first premium at the late fair-on
feathers, artificial flowers, bonnets
and hats, and took them all without
a dissenting voice. In regard to mil
linery four of the six judges who
passed upon that favored his display.
The ladies confirm the verdict of the
judges. His blue ribbons are Oh in

SAFE FOR THE DEMOCRACY.

WHEELING. w. Va, Nov. 1O.-In view
of later returns from remote counties,
Chairman Riley, of the Democratic COM
mittee revises his figures and claims
the state for Cleveland and Fleming by
800 to 900, and Democratic majority of
one on joint ballot in the legislature.
The Republicans say their late figures
only confirm their earlier estimates.
Best figures on the amendment to the
state constitution prohibiting the sale
and manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors say it is defeated by 10000
majority. The Republican COM
mittee claims from 800 to 500
majority on governor, and thinks the
presidential ticket has also pulled
through. There are still twelve coun-
ties either imperfectly or not at all
heard from, and upon these and possible
corrections in the others depends the
result. The chances seem to be with
the Republicans, especially for gov
ernor. The Democratic committee has
reduced its estimate of sol this morn
ing to less than 200 this evening. Two
Republicans have certainly been elected
in the First and Fourth congressional
districts, and McGinnis, Republican, is
probably elected in the Third. There
is more uncertainty among Republicans
in regard to the Second. The latest
dispatches from that district indicate
the reelection of Wilson. Democrat, by
60 majority. His majority in 1854 was
1,529, and two years ago 80.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Senator Cor
man, while in Washington yesterday,
was interviewed Oh the results of the
campaign. ''The contest" said he,
twas fought out on the line of policy
laid down by the president in his mes
sage and by the action of the Demo-
cratic majority in the house. The tariff
issue was ever present throughout the
campaign, and it seems as though the
Republicans have made the country
believe that we were committed to free
trade, and the people pronounced against
it. Our position was grossly miSrep-
resented,aS our party has not at any time
declared for free trade, but simply for a
reduction of excessive taxation, but the
catch-WordS of the canvass were all
against us. We have gone down in q
contest entirely free from personalities,
a fact upon which the country is to be
congratulated" Concerning Chairman
Brice he said: "The first twomonths of
the campaign most of his time was con-
Sumed in trying to induce active and
influential Democrats to forget their
diSappointmentS and enter heartily into
the contest. Personal grievances were
very hard to overcome in some in
stances, and it was difficult matter to
arouse some of the most valuable party
workers. By the time these prejudices
were supposed to be overcome Col.
Brice had but three weeks to devote to
the oppoSition."

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. = Surgeon
General Moore has reported to the sec
retary of war that the army medical
board convened at New York, which
adjourned on the 31st inst, examined
twenty-seven candidates for admission
to the medical corps and fourteen assist
ant surgeons for promotion. OF the
former six were rejected as physically
disqualified, seven as professionally dis
qualified, while twelve withdrew, and
only two were approved. OF the assist
ant surgeons ten were found qualified
and four disqualified. The working
methods of this board, says the surgeon
general. differed radically from those of
any of its predecessors, and the bene-
fetal result was demonstrated by the
large percentage of men rejected
14.05 per cent, as compared with .01 per
cent found disqualified by the preced-
ing board. Since the adjournment of
the board vacancy in the medical
corps has occurred by the death of AS
sistant Surgeon Weisel; another Will
take place on the 14th inst. by the re.
tirement of Surgeon Baily, and third
in April by the retirement of Surgeon
Magruder. 1t is accordingly RECON-
mended that the board be reconyened
in Nav, 1889.

PITTSBURG, Kan., Nov. 10.-Details
of the horrible holocaust in shaft of
the Pittsburg & Cherokee mine near
Ihat place last night were first Obtaina-
BILE to-day, The company had more Or
ders than they could fill, and in their
attempts to keep up had been run
ming an unusually large force Of
miners. Yesterday morning 164
men were lowered into the mine.
At $50 in the afternoon, terrible
a black cloud of dirt. slate and dust shot
into the air from the mouth of the
shaft, tearing away the the tracks up
which the cages were hoisted, and
filling the shaft with debris. The 'ex-
ploSion occurred on the east side, and
is. attributed to the ineXperience of their
men. Before the men outside could re-
cover their senses one OF the miners
appeared at the air shaft nearly
suffocated. He was followed by num-
Der of others who escaped injury, but
the exact number is not known. About
midnight the fan house was repaired,
and fresh air was pumped into the
mine, driving back the poisonous gases
and averting suffocation. Attention
was then turned to raising the cribbing
so that the cages could be lowered.
AT 1890 a. m. a cage was ready to de-
scend, and the first rescuing party was
LOWERED INTO THE SHAFT.
Owing to the bad air still remaining
in the shaft they could not stay very
long. On the first return of the cage it
contained number of uniniured but
badly demoralized men. The bottom of
the shaft was badly damaged and it was
difficult to get at the dead. AS fast as
found they were piled together at the
bottom, while the living and badly
wounded were hOiSted to the top. at i
"a. III. nine men had been rescued alive.
About this time the party struck an
entry containing twelve more dead.
The shaft by this time had been pretty.

of rescue proceeded rapidly. A tenn

hospital. Up to a late hour this after

TWAS, A NOBLE VICTORY. Il

SIpGner

BRAINERD, Minn.. Nov. 10.-A brand
is plucked as from the great burning of
Republican victory by George W. Hof-

The vote is as follows. SO far as can be
learned in advance of the official can-
vass, which will be made next Monday:
For G. 3. Sleeper-Majorities, Crow
Wing county, Az: Cass, 73; total, 5i5,
For q. w. Acknowledgements, Wa
dena county, z; Itasca, 1s1; Hubbard,

been most stubborn contest, and the
Republicans are trying to break the
force of the victory, which was won in
the face of the most shameless corpora
ton bulldozing. by cries of fraud and
fraud hunting, but the evidence is pill
ing up that the irregularities, if any
can be claimed are on the other side.
The Democrats and independents who
supported Holland, or the non-partisan
candidate, are greatly delighted over
this victory.
