NEW USE FOR CORNsTALKS.

The despised corns talk is to be uti-
lized in the manufacture of various
commodities and may soon becam e
the source Of greath wealth says the
Duluth Herald. 1t is said that every
year 250, 100000 tons of cornstalks 90
to waste in this country, but this is
to be so no longer. 1t is estimated
that newly devised methods of utiliz-
ing cornstalks will give this hitherto
unused crop value of $500 900, 900 a
year.
Six commodities are made of corn
stalks, viz: Cell llose, worth s400 a
ton, used by the government as an
automatic hole stopper for battle
ships;excellent cardboard, fine grade
of paper, an unequaled foundation for
dynamite, a patent cattle food and a
superior glue. The value of the eel
lulose lining for warships is, we'll
known. When leak develops the
cellulose swells in such manner as
to automatically close it. With fifteen
tons Of stalks, worth 800, one ton of
such cellulose is made, for which as
already stated, the government is now
paying at the rate of S4O0 ton.
Two factories, one in Rockford, ILL.,,
and another in Greensboro, KY, are
now making cornstalk cellulose, TO-
gether with other products of less
value. AS respects the cornstalk cat
tie food, it is stated that the stalks
when ground to acoarse meal, cooked :,
sweetened with molasses and pressed
into cakes, form one Of the most nu-
tritive and valuable foods yet placed
on the market. The absorptive power
of cellulose dust fits it admirably for
the manufacture Of dynamite by mix
ing with nitro-g lycerine, such dust be-
ing superior even to gun-cotton. In
addition to those already in operation,
five factories are to be erected at once
for the manufacture OF various corn.
stalk products.
Thus the farmer will find another
source of revenue from something that
he has hitherto regarded as practically
valueless.

PLEADS NOT GUILTY.
The Bicycle Ordinance Will be Tested
by MIR. Robinson.

D. G Robinson appeared before Judge
Shissler Wednesday morning on war
rInt charging him with violating the
new bicycle ordinance by riding on a
sidewalk on Second street. He entered
plea of not guilty and the trial was set
for July 18th. Pau & Pau appeared as
his attorney, while City Attorney Daley
acts as prosecutor.
Mr.. Robinson statesSthat his attorneys
will look into the matter and if they
conclude that the ordinance cannot
stand it will be tested, otherwise he will
plead guilty. Many of the wheelmen
have taken an interest in the case and
some have offered financial aid to Mr..
Robinson in order to have the legality
of the ordinance tested. The trial will
no doubt attract considerable attention.

GIVE just returned from Ell Paso.'
said an Albuquerque gentleman yester.
day, land it can't be denied
that in some respects the Pass City
Is ahead of us.
"The citizens seem to take great
pride in the beauty and cleanliness OF
their surroundings. Ugly, broken
down fences, uneven, neck-breaking
sidewalks, neglected yards and seedy
looking houses are hard to find in
the better sections of the city. Much
attic. tion is given to parks and gar
dens and trees of handsome foliage.
"But Ell Paso doe not begin to have
the primal natural advantages thai AL
b%uquerque a boast of. The site is
not so good, the land is not so product
i've. the beauties of the surrounding
landscapes not go pronounced. There
is just at present, 1 believe, an outlook
for greatly improved conditions In AL
buquerque. The building of the
new opera house and other fine
blocks in the disreputable quarter of
the city, the great activity along build
ing lines, the increased attention that
citizens are giving to identifying their
properly, and above all, the excellent
project of organizing q woman's i'm
provement society, all promise very
for the increased attractive
ness OF New Mexico's largest and most
comely daughter" Albuquerque Jour-

''BLACK AND WHITE"
Come Together in the Legal Tender
Saloon, and Much Trouble was
AVerted by the Negro Falling to
Return With the Gang"

The Legal Tender saloon was the
scene of q wild scrimmage Sunday
morning about I a. M.
Five persons were in the place evil

when their good fellowship was in
trooper from Fort Bliss,
much the worse for liquor.
Bruce, the porter of the establishment,
was behind the counter when the negro
soldier dragged his inebriated carcass
to the bar aud said in an incoherent
voice 81 am one of the 10th cavalry
boys and 1 think you are a low down
colored French Louisiana niger; you
no good no how"' continued the troop
err, addressing Bruce, who by the way
Is also of the ebony hued race.
These insulting and uncalled for re-
marks simply threw the porter into a
state of wild disorder and the man was
in the act of defending the v%ilifcations
heaped upon him, when the negro
broke forth more violently and in
words of unmistakable language as he
blurted out Il see thar am q lot of
white ----- in here" This
capped the climax. One of the patrons
OF the house grabbed at the first thing
in sight-which was a chair-and
hurled it desperately at the offensive
negro and struck him fairly on the
head and was following up the attack
when the black man evidently realizing
the chances against him and fearing
further bodily injury, darted out the
door exclaiming, "Ill bring the gang
back heah. and we'll clean out de
place.
Those remaining in the saloon were
highly excited by this time and fearing |
q return attack from the negro and his
gang" were making preparations to
hold the fort and await further de-.
velopme nts. Geo. Coles, an ~ex-police
officer, and the recent victim of Madge
Wilson's unsteady pistol shot, gave
to his wrath by producing an ugly
looking A csliber bull dog revolver

and was nervously twirling the weapon
about his finger when it suddenly
fell from his grasp n
struck the iron foot railing outside the
bar, the conclusion causing an explo-
sion. At this time three persons were
standing in close touch with Coles, and
were an easy target, but fortunately
the bullet glanced off the railing and
penetrated the bar, going clean
through, and buried itself in the wood
work behind the counter.
The negro has reasons to congratu-
late himself on being present at guard
mount today as his remaining in the
place but q few moments longer would
undoubtedly have led to disastrous re-
suits. He failed to return with the
promised "Gsng."

The jury in the Britton Davis dam.
age suit brought in a verdict for the
plaintiff at 11:3O o'clock this morning
awarding him damages of $1,000.
The suit has been on trial eleven
days and was stubbornly fought. The
plaintiff claimed $50, 600 damages from
the Texas and Pacific rail way for loss
es sustained to a large shipment of
cattle from Fort Hancock to Colorado
City.
The cattle were loaded on nine
trains, or 11S cars, al Fort Hancock
about November 5. 1895; it requiring
five days to load and ship all the cattle
to destination. The plaintiff alleged
that the cattle we're not fed or watered
during that time and that 40 died and
others lost considerably in weight to
his damage $780, 600.
The jury reached its verdict by COM
putting the amount of damage to the
from the evidence of witnesses,
who testified that the loss sustained
was nowhere a $50, 900. The verdict
was rendered accordingly.
