Largest Grave in the World.

The distinction of having the largest
grave in the world, if we except those
buried at sea, belongs to dead Pinkney-
vile, ILL.,, man. Some years ago the de-
ceased and his sons were operating a
coal mine over there. One day the old
man went into the pit alone to inspect
it. While he was in a remote gallery
the roof of the mine caved in and the
waters of a subterranean stream flooded
the mine, which is about 10 acres in ex-
tent. 1t was of course impossible to re-
cover the body of the drowned miner.
SO his SONS simply closed up the shaft
and erected The headstone sacred to
taeir fathers memory.

LISBON, OAK, April 27.-It has been
reported that for some reason or other
the government contemplates recalling
some of the patents it has issued for
land in this district, but where the
patents are recorded it is thought that
the owners of the land are free from
any possible annoyance. In speaking
about patents, there is a practice of
some attorneys that has never been
mentioned in print, and it is this: As
soon as lot of patents are sent to the
land Office, attorneys who have had
some connection with the land in help
ing make proof or securing loan, go
to the Office and get the patents, and
then write to the owner of the land that
they have succeeded in securing a
patent to the tract and that the same
can be had of them for the payment of
their trouble In getting the patent.
which is generally 81. AS the patents
run away up in the thousands for the
Fargo district it can readily be seen
that this practice carried on to anv
great extent, means the mulcting of the
entry men of large sum in the aggre,
gate.

PASS THE BILLS.

1t was good thing that the senate
the other day passed the bill before it to
provide statehood for one of the divis-
ions of the territory. There is before it
a similar bill applying to the other
portion, which, it is hoped, will also pass.
OF course, neither the senators nor any
else expects these measures to go
through the house or result in any
thing-but they serve to keep the state
hood question prominent, and as an IT.
ritant to promised action in the house.
The Republicans are already having
campaign speeches stereotyped, based
upon the assumption that the Democrats
do not intend to pass any statehood bills
in the house. This is not believed, but
faith will grow feeble if the pabulllm Of
fact is needlessly denied. The sooner
the bills looking to admission are put
through the:house, the better.

Top.

Special to the Globe.
GRAND FORKS, OAK, April 27.-The
Democratic county convention met at
the court house this afternoon, and was
one of the largest ever held in the
county. The fight between the Day
and Church men was bitter one, and it
was only through the iron nerve and
exceptional executive ability and i'm
partiality of Committeeman Bangs that
the crowd was held under control. Con-
tests and protests were the order
of the day-the contests COM
ing principally from country pre-
cincts, which were nearly all
represented by proxy. Finally, alter
much uprOarious conduct on the part OF
the eager throng, it was decided that
gates be permitted to vote on temporary
organization. AT the end of the roll
call it was apparent that the
Church men had won, electing their
chairman, E. l.. Emery,by vote of two
to one. The secretary of the convention,
J. B. Mooney, who is Day man, re-
fused to give the chairman the result
of the vote, but as is usual, the tally
had been kept by dozens of
other persons present and tine
result was easily ascertained. Seeing
that they had been beaten, the Day men
set up the cry of fraud. The cOnven-
ton was entitled to Seventy-fve votes
and the report of the committee on
credentials show that sixty were present
and gave their undivided support to the
regular convention, The delegates
elected are as follows: j. Ii. Hill, w. n.
Roach, j. }. O'Leary, NJ. Barry, E. l..
Emery, William Close, A. w. Bangs,

ton passed the following resolutions:

glanee to the national Democracy, reaf-
firm the principles enunchted in the

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Court Decides That City Orders
Must Draw Interest Without
Such Clause

Special to'the Globe.
LISBON, OAK, April 27.-The decision
of Judge Mcconnell that the city must
pay interest on its outstanding regis
tered orders is most important one.
A great many have argued that where
the warrant or order does not contain
an interest clause, there is no authority
for the payment of interest, but the
judges decree sets that point at rest.
The late mayor of Lisbon claimed there
was 10 authority for the payment OF
such interest, and Adams & Frees,
bankers, having large amount of city
orders, brought suit to compel the pay
ment of interest, and the judge has
ruled to their satisfaction. This ruling
will be of interest to every city in the
territory, and by adhering to it large
expense may be saved, which it is now
the lot of this city to pay in the way of
costs, counsel, etc.
