Mr. Frank Keynolita On Slack. k It is with pleasure we give place to the following letter , emanating as it does from the pen of so able an authority as Frank Reynolds , who is one of the most ( skillful operators of steam plants and engines known in the entire country. Economy in fuel has received his long i nnd careful attention. It might not bo amiss to nay that Mr. Reynolds is the brother of Geo. H. Roy- Holds , of Ijew York , who for twenty-five years has been superintendent of the XMamater Iron Works nnd stands unsur passed in Now York City ns a consulting Engineer. Ho is also a brother of Edwin Reynolds , superintendent for E. P. Allis fc Co. , Milwaukee , whoso- reputation for ingenuity in mechanics is national. The eminence of these three brothers , each In his respective line , i.s .most remarkable - able , nnd the endorsement of frank Reynolds of the position wo assumed Eomo days ago , on the subject of econo mizing with cheap fuel , and the prac tical suggestions no oilers , ns to correct boiler setting , are entitled to a degree of consideration commensurate with hh Ability. EDITOR OMAHA. BUG : I am pleased to boto that your journal so fully upuro' ctatos the Importance to this section ol the slack courobtnined here. It is of equal importance , thatour pres ent limited manufacturing interests , Bhow that they likewise appreciate these Advantages , to give the desired effect tc your article , "black vs. Lump Coal , " in causing others to locate hero , and I rec- pgnizo noimnortantpointin this latitude , Vest of Cleveland , O. , with ns good ud Jrantages on fuel. For this purpose I ap b t > reolate your publishing so many com niunications , and I wish to add my testi luony to the truth of every claim in youi ' 'artlolo quoted. 'i. With the endorsement of such loadinc find roprosentivo concerns as Wood main Linseed Oil Works , the Counci JJlufls Waterworks city company am the Omaha Elevator and Grair company I predict that the us < of black hero , for all manufacturing pur Doses at least , will bo the rule , rather that thn exception , within n very short time In my experience of over thirty (80 ( { years in generating and using steam or ocean steamers , ' river boats , pumninf \vorks , etc. , much ot my time has beer devoted to the economy of fuel and steam It may bo of value to sonio to say ngh hero that the proper netting of 'a boiler i of great importance. As regards fuel sav ing and steaming capacity , the most vita liomts are two , viz. : not too small a com bustiou chamber , nnd not too largo i grato. In roost cases I lind the rnvorsi cf this is practiced in setting stationary boilers , the combustion chambers beinj generally too small nnd the grate surfaci too large. Always use ax small a crati urea aa you can generate tbo requlrci etoara from , with proper 0030 , and avoi ( nny net rule as to grate surface to boiler experimenting on the amount , using tha which gives thn best results. Sot tin bolter n good height from the grates , am never ill ! in back of the bridge wall , bu leave that space open for bettor com bus lion. If any wish to argue these points don't stop to theorize , simply try botl ways , nnd convince yourself at least. The alack coal brought to this section I am now convinced , is fully equal to th best lump coal , from same mines , poum for pound , if handed properly. At this pumping station wo have use Black for a number of years , as It domor etrntod a saving of some twenty-live ( SI per cent over the lump coal , taking th iljtlorcnco in cost in consideration. Bu wo liavo recently , by simply makinc change in grades , made a still furtlic Mving of twenty (20) ( ) percent , besides in creasing the teaming capacity of ou boilers ns 3 is to 4 , that is to say , 3 boilei will now do the work of 4 before uiakiu , the change in gMtos. There being so many grates and othc devices , ollered to the public , patentc nnd not patented , ( patents on grate bat in the United States alone running n into the hundreds ) that promise wel but fall far short of producing best re f ulU , ( as ihowu by our past results , th eratcs wo then used beingamong the best known for slack ) besides many being actually worthless , that I feel in this Instance , where one grate stands so preeminent , not having what I consider a rival , I am warranted in making special mention of it by name , in connection with the important subject of cheat ) fuei , and how to use it , tliere- fore will say , tho."lorranco" grate Is the ono we liavo adopted , the operation and advantages of which Mr. Clark Wood man has so well described , that 1 will only add with this grate wn maintain clean Area , for twelve hours' run , with the cheapest Iowa slack , which is some thing heretofore regarded by all as im possible without the use of lire tools. I will further say , that wo anticipated being - ing obliged to go to the heavy expense of building n new chimney , our draught be ing insulllcient , but to our surprise , since change in grates , wo liavo ample draught , oven some to spare. We now have our nine ( ! ) ) boilers all equipped with these grates , having tit first only tried two sots and later two moro and so on. FIUNK RKINOLDS , Chief Engineer City Waterworks Omaha , Neb.

The Survival of the Fittest. In no other line is competition so fierce , unremitting and relentless as in the sowing machine business. A long suffering public , worried by the ceaseless importunities of the irrepressible agents , needs no argument on this point. Under such conditions a sewing ma chine , and especially a now sowing ma chine , that gains the public favor musl bo possessed of real , solid merit. Facts are stubborn things nnd figures do not Ho , therefore the following brief statement will be more convincing ) the people who think for themselves than a column of bare assertions made without anv foundation. Two years ago the proprietors of the Union Sowing machine established a small retail ollico on Nortb 10th St. It was small , paying a rental of only $20.00 per month. The establish ment of this ollico was not annourTcod with any flourish of trumpets or useless display , Relying solely on its merits they placed the Union Sowing machine before the public. Mark the result I A series of surprises. In loss than a year forced to secure a larger building , and again before the lapse of another year , compelled to occupy their present splendid quarters at 1009 Howard St. To day they are soiling moro sowing ma chines , employing moro employes , pay ing the highest rent and car rying the largest pay roll of any Company in the city , hese are the facts and figures in the aso from which the public can draw its ° wn conclusions. Prompted by thoii Success in the retail trade and recogniz 'ng the advantages of Ohnlui as n distrib uting point , the company have here located catod their supply depot for the entire west.

PAUK. A Wonderful Chance to Invest In South Omaha Property , Now ! Fortunate id the man who can foresee the grand future which is already dawn ing upon Omaha , and more fortunate la ho if ho can take advantage of that fore sight to enrich himself. Foresight , judg ment , sand and money these are the four essentials Which are necessary to the building tip of n fortune on the basis of Omaha real cstaU ) . Those laggards and drones who wore continually foreseeing dark things in store for Omaha are no where now "they are not on the list and they never will bo missed. " They have been swept under by the tidal wave of the piosperity of ils great booming city. Ol all the property suburban to Omaha vliich has an inherent and intrinsic as , voll as a prospective value , there is none nero valuable than South Omaha prop- jrty. Fortunes here have been made in [ i year by the careful and judicious in vestment of money. The busy town , ivitli its mammoth slaughtering ami making houses , its canning factories , dockyards and other kindred industries , ias had iv wonderful boom in the past , as t must have in the future. It is uuini- i-st , in fact , that South Omaha's boom is , ust beginning. The town must grow iml llotirlsh as Omaha has grown and lourished In the past and will continue , o do in the future. Now is the time , horcforo , to invest , before values ad- , -nnco any further. Of all the additions to South Omaha there is none which gives more promise of substantial and increasing value than the B. & M. Park. This lii > southwest of the exchange building on almost a level plateau , with ju , t enough of an undu lating surface to add nplnasing diversity. It is covered with a nealthy growth of timber , which makes its value nil the nero apparent. This addition lias been ; ut up Into lots which are to bo placed ipon the market at the ridiculously low prices of $50 and $75. These prices have been determined upon more in order to "ntroduco this addition to the public of Omaha than because there is any money in disposing of this property at sucli fig ures. In a very few days thcso prices will bo raised to something like true valuo. Thcso figures will bo made to rich and poor alike. It makes no difference whether you buy ono or fifty lots , the price will bo the same. On Saturday morning , April 16 , an exclusion train will bo runirom the li. & M. depot to the addition for the benefit of those who wish to look over this property. The lots will then bo sold as advertised. On Sunday morning , April 17 , for the ben- olit of the wet king classes , another tram will be run from the B. & M. depot. This will give all a chance to invest and in spect. The readers of the BEE can rest assured that this Is no wildcat scheme or catchpenny speculation. A warranty deed for each lot will bo given by the Midland Guarantee & Trust company. Look out for this wonderful opportunity , iuvcst and make money. i Dictrick & Guth architects , and super intendents , Room 15 Cruijrliton block. Thoftew Postmaster. Mr. Coutan't this morning said that ho expected to bo relieved from the duties of his position by next Saturday. The bond of Mr. ( J. V. Gallagher , his successor ser , ho understood has been forwarded to Washington/ in the ordinary course of ovpnts would be approved on Tuesday next , when his commission would be issued , reaching him in time to enable him to assume the duties of post master by next Saturday. Mr. Gallagher has been j , y m ' occasional visi tor to the' 1)081011100 since the news of his appointment was received , though ho has not , as yet paid much at tention to the details of its workings. Postmaster Coutant this morning said ho regretted that the last congress had not passed the appropriation for the new postoflice at this place. Ho said that even if the next congress should make the appropriation required , it would bo two years from this time before the money could bo available. It is not likely that the now postollico will be built for nt least the time mentioned , and by that time the business of the office will have most completely outgrown the present limits of the building.

A BIG THING FOR OMAHA A Street Oar Line Being Built with Beinarksblo Sapidity. A Uusy Scene \ Man Who More Thau Keeps J1U I'rotnlse. The busiest scene about Omaha is probably out the Military Boulevard , where over one Imnrirod.ruon arc at work building vho motor line to Benson. So , llttlo has been said about this and so rapidly and quietly the work has pro- Crossed that It deserves special notice. It is a most important factor in Omaha's transportation facilities , and as a private enterprise is a very remarkable one. When Benson was put on the market last winter it was advertised that a street car line would bo built to It by next September. This many who did not know the proprietor said this would never be done. There is now no room left for doubt , over ono hundred men are tit work on the line and it is nearly completed and spring lias not yet opened. The line is not only built sooner by a third of a year than was promised but it extends much farther out Military Boulevard than was over prom- iscdor expected and the manner in which it is to be equipped is beyond promise. Jt IB now definitely settled that the Baldwin Noiseless Smoke Consuming Motor will bo used on this lino. The same as are in use at Kansas City and Minneapolis. Tlicso motors arc as rapid and noiseless as a cable car. This line is not only a big thing for Benson but for all the North West part of the city as it adds greatly to the transportation facili ties. ties.No No ono now doubts but that Mr. Benson - son is going to do what ho said he would do for this addition , make it the finest and most beautiful suburb of any city in the west. To give forty acres of valu able cround for a park and ask not a cent for It is a donation which would scare most men. Mr. Benson is a care ful observer , n man of very extensive travel and observation and ho has un limited faith in Omaha's wonderful future and is spending his money accord ingly. _ A Cnnudlnn Indian Squaw.

How Thojr Are Matlo In Enclnnd Slanufacturo of Fishhooks. According to the most recent estimate , says the Analyst , the present production of needles in Iledditch , England , is not less than 130,000,000 per- week , and as may bo inferred from this enormous aggre gate , machinery has been brought to bear upon the trade in a most extensive de gree , and with marked success. The pointing of needles , one of the most del icate of all the operations , in now almost exclusively done by machinery , and so is the cutting , skimming , stamping , eyeing , tempering , countingheading and tailing , bluing , burnishing , finishing , as sorting and sticking. Now and improved machines for all those processes have been successfully introduced during the last twenty years or so , and , unlike the experience in other trades , the machine wortc about needles is not only cheaper but better. The latest novelty , and ono which is a pronounced success , is the "grooving" machine for making sewing machine needles , the old stamping pro cess being thereby superseded. Work done by the "grooving" machine is better and truer , besides being more econom ical. The old process of ether gilding has been almost entirely superseded by the newer and Improved method of elec tro-gilding. Uedaitch is becoming a rival of Ihrmingham in the manufacture of pins , the common ordinary household pin being supplemented by shawl nnd scarf pins , with glass and steel heads. About two tons weight of pins of all harts are made at Ueclditch weekly. Accord ing to the latest phase which ingenious enterprise has taken in this trade , the production ought to increase by "leaps and bounds1 for an attempt is being made to so reconstruct tiie ma chines that they may produce two pins at a time instead of ono , Iledditch pro duces every week nn average of 120,000,000 fishhooks ot all descriptions , from that required by the angler of minnows in the streamlet to that adapted for pike and salmon fishermen. Machinery is very largely used in the manufacture of fish hooks , and , in connection with the smaller class of sea-hooks , electro-tin ning is being extensively adopted. Fish ing-rods , lloats and swivels now consti tute important branches ot Iledditch in dustry , nnd a considerable trade is grow ing up in the production of artificial Hies , which tire exclusively made.
