Use Found for Cornstalks.

The firm of shipbuilders known ev.
erywhere as the Cramps has taken up
chemical discovery which is said to
transform the outer portion of the
cornstalk into excellent cofferdam or
ship padding. A factory is to be To-
Gated at Rockford ILL.,, and others are
to be constructed later on at other
points in the West. e. s. Cramp, while
In Chicago perfecting arrangements for
the Rockford plant, bespeaks for the
new product an immense financial sue.
cess, which will be shared literally by
the farmers. He says of the finished
product:
Our experiments with this new
c0ferdam material have shown that
1t is the most perfect in its action of
anything of the kind ever used. The
French have something like it made of
cocoa Gber, but the English have found
1t so unsatisfactory that they have
never used it. Its use is simple. The
sides Of the ship are stuffed with it,
and when shot penetrates the water
swe!is the cofferdam and closes the
leak, or at least stops it sufficiently to
keep the ship from sinking"
Regarding the gathering of the stalk
Mr.. Cranp says:
"All that is necessary is simply the
bare stalk. Thus, after husking the
corn, farmers may let the cattle into
tue field, as they do now, and when
the cattle have consumed the leaves
and all they can eat the stalks can be
brought to our factories. Nothing we
need has been put to any use in the
past. There are two or three tons Of
c0rnstalks to the acre, which can be
cut for about 81 an acre, leaving the
rest to the farmer. We expect to pay
about 81 ton for the stalks"
It will be n nice thing, of course, for
Rockford and Illinois to have this new
manufacturing industry, and especial.
ly fortunate that q use has been found
for what has formerly been 4 waste
product. But it is doubtful ii Mr..
Cramp will be able to get his stalks for
s. a ton. There are probably two or
three tons of these stalks to the acre,
and at low estimate they could be
cut for S1.8O an acre. But then there
would be the cost of loading and team.
Ing to the nearest railroad station, per.
haps three Or four miles distant, and
labor for this work and all these ex.
penses would bring the cost of the
stalks up to about So ton. Even at
this price it is not probable there would
be any great profit in it for the farm.
ers. Yet there will be some profit, and
1t will be desirable to see the expert.
ment tried. If the farmers can man.
age to get substantial return from
these stalks that have always been con.
sidered worthless, the profits may serve
to Offset to some extent the losses in.

senators from Sussex county, as they
were ready to acauiesee in the seating OF
Meredith instead of Alice, in organizing

He thinks, however, they may yet realize
the trap into which they have fallen, but
it will then prove too late to correct their

The cool hoadcaness of State Detectives
McVoy and Witsil probably saved our
State from the odiun Of lynching scene
in which Frank Thomas, colored, would
huve been the contrc figure, AS publish
ed in the REPUBLICAN, yesterday Frank
Thomas was cmploysd by Mr.. Irvine Ball,
farmer residing near Stanton, Del. On
"Wednesday during the temporary absence
from The house of MIR. Ball, his wife was
sewing in the parlor when Thomas walked
up stealthily back Of Mrs. Ball and strik-
ing her with his fist knocked her almost
senseles9. The brute then attempted to
feloniously assault her, choking her SO
that the blood ran from her ears ana
mouth. The woman recovered sufficiently
to fight the brute with almost supernat-
ural strength and succeeded in Keeping
the man from accomplishing his purpose.
A reporter OF tho REPUBLICAN visited
Mr.. Ball Thursday morning, to whom he
told the felonious assault, having written
out an advertisement offering fifty dollars
for the monsters arrest, which he said he
intended to send in to have published in
the REPUBLICAN The story, as publish
ed in this paper was the only one gotten
from Mr. Balpand our enterprising, wide

moved toward the prisoner with cries OF

tectlves McVey and Witsil, arriving on
the scene, took possession of the prisoner
and brought him to tho city hall, where
he was locked up. Tho wiser heads in the
mob of farmers finally prevailed Oh the
others to let the law take its course, which
they felt satisfied would be swift and sure
