merrily and puling a long train of cars the first engine that Omaha ever saw that did not smoke passed through the Burlington yards Monday afternoon The engine is on its way to Sheridan Wyo where it is to make a practical demonstra tion of its value Figures taken by the test run show that it will operate more cheap ly and the danger of cinders setting afire grass and buildings is done away with besides the disagreeable ness of the smoke Lignite the soft coal whioh gener ally produces such black smoke is to be burned in the new engine The use of lignite in old style engines has caused many a prairie and forest fire A stoker the Barnum stoker as it is called is the feature of the en gine The Barnum stoker was first patented by Charles E Barnum of Omaha who is now dead It is own ed by the Barnum Manufacturing company now of which Fred Mont morency of the Burlington is pres ident and Arthur C Smith of the M E Smith company is vice president The two Omaha men have worked five years with the original design and now consider it perfected The principal of the no smoke de vice is the stoking It feeds the coal beneath instead of throwing it on top the mechanical stoker also doing away with the labor of the fire man As the coal is raised to the fire level the volatile fumes arise into the flames and are burnt up making a saving of heat In the breaking up process by the heat the cinders are all burned up before they can get through the fire so there is no waste material to arise tlirough the smokestack except the steam or possibly the thinnest haze of blue fumes The engine is particularly adapt ed to the use of cheap soft coal and uses less than an ordinary engine Six tons were used on the run from Burlington la a run which usually takes nine tons One of these engines has been in use in the Chicago switching yards for two months and is reported to be working finely Omaha Bee NEGOTIATING FOR ROOM Denver June 27 The Burlington railway officials announce that they are willing to let the Union Pacific have Walnut Market street for in dustrial tracks if the Union Pacific will relinquish Blake street to the Burlington From present indications the city council will
