A Fight Between the Citizens
and the Train Men.
The coal famine continues to grow
worse daily , and extends not alone
throughout Nebraska , bnt also to
Kansas , Iowa , Missouri and all the
western and northern states , "prevail
ing even in the midst of the great
coal producing districts , where there
are not men enough to supply the de
mand from all sides for fneL In our
own state the condition of affairs is
becoming quite serious , If we may
judge.fromthe following , from yester
day's Lincoln Journal ,
"The citizens of the little town of
Grafton on the line of the B. & M. ,
arcabout to fretza to death , if we may
judge of their conduct Wednesday.
When the westward bound train
stopped at that place for a few mo
ments , it was boarded by a large
number of citizens , who demanded
coal or blood. The train men
refused to give up the coal , when the
citizens took possession of the tender ,
and helped themselves to what coal
they required. In the melee , we un
derstand , one of the citizens of the
town was badly injured. We further
understand that one of the train men
will be roughly handled to-day should
the train stop at that place. "

Bishop O'Connor's Lecture.
The Union Catholic Library asso
ciation have acted wisely in securing
Bishep O'Connor to deliver the firat
lecture in the popular dime course
which they propose to inaugurate on
next Sunday evening at the cathedral
of St. Philomona. And with respect
to the bishop it is doubtful thnt ho
could have selected a more timely
Bubject than that of "Social
ism. " All this has been attested by
the growing interest in the matter and
the almost unprecedented sale of tick
ets. Among tte many idsues to be
considered in the lecture , will be that
of the constantly recurring difficulty's
between capital and labor , and the
moral duly and obligations of each of
the parties to controversy , all of
which will bo treated in a scholarly
and exhaustive manner. Tickets may
be had at the Cathedral on the night
of the lecture and at McDonagli'e ,
Douglas street.

Arrangements have been completed
for bringing out the forthcoming An
nual Illustrated Review of TBE
OMAHA BEE , which will be distri
buted to our subscribers on New
Tear's ' Day. All the illustrations In
this annual review are to be lithographed -
graphed by a first class artist.
One of the most important
features will be the sketches of the
prominent private residences in
the city , which last year were crowded
out by other buildings. The statlstiy
cal work , which is the most laborious
part of this undertaking will be more
complete . , In detail and more thorough
If anything , than in any previous
Review.
In order that no omissions shall oc
cur in this branch , wo would urge up
on our citizens who have made any
building improvements during the
year to furnish us the desired informa
tion , either at this office or through
the postoffice as early as possible. Wo
want the name of the owner of the
improvement or structure , discription
of the improvement or building ;
location and costof same.
In view of oi the fact that the out
lay for such an undertaking is very
large , amounting to nearly $1,500 ,
wo have to secure a reasonable
amount of advertising patronage from
our merchants and manufacturers.
Mr. J. H. Fierce has been employed
as solicitor for advertiements in the
illustrated annual review. He will
call upon business men and
furnish them further particulars ,
concerning the style of the work ,
rates of advertising , etc. The edition
wi contain 16,000 copies , _ and will
th be a most valuable medium
for advertising.
Parties who desire to have their
residences or any buildinga lHustrated
had better apply at this pffice at an
early day.

Tne Omaha Home Journal.
With the close of the year 1880
_ , .
The Omaha Home Journal closes itsr
,
business. The reason of this is that
.
the publisher and proprietor , Mr. J.
F. . McCartney , finds that hid duties as
city clerk occupy all his time and pre
vent him from giving that attention to
the editorial and business departments
of The Homo Journal which is neces
sary to make It a creditable paper.
Anything else he will not publish.
On Saturday next the December
number makes its appearance , and
closes the seventh volume. It will
contain a brief history of the paper
since its commencement in 1873 and
ether matters of interest. It should
be understood that the paper does not
fail the publisher merely closing up
that branch of his business , preferring ,
as he does , to devote his time to other
pursuits. The Homo Journal has al
ways stood well in Omaha and en joyed
a good patronage , and could be con
tinued on a paying basis for yeara to
come did the publisher wish to go on.
There are many in Omaha who will bo
sorry to mies its regular visits to their
houses.
