Forced to Bay Whatever They Can Gel PRICES ABE 10 BS ADVANCED Shsrtac" mt All Klada ef .Coal U Leaked Far Calces There Is a Break la the Es treat Cald. . Not only has steam coal become a negligible quantity In Omaha, but stove snd furnaoe coal Is running low and dealers are refusing to sell It except In small quantities. One more week ot the extreme cold would cause actual suffer ing from lack of eoal, say the coal men. Prices on all nut eoal and hard coal will be advanced within a day or two, so soma of tlie dealers announce. The ad vance will be 3S cents a ton on hard coal and aV to M cents a ton on soft coal. If the very cold weather continues, a suc cession of sdvances Is anticipated. The Burlington, which hauls more coal Into Omaha than any other road, did not bring la a single car last night or today. Traffic Is Impeded by the cold aad rhe snow snd the railroads themselves are compelled to confiscate coal In transit to run their trains. The supply of steam coal at the Booth Omaha packing houses Is completely ex hausted and the packers are buying In small lots, wherever they can find any eoal. at advanced prices. . Una b La to get steam eoal. they are buying nut coal. which costs V to II a ton more. Several apartment bouse managers bad to buy nut eoal this morning, after try-, tng several hours to get steam coaL Even then, tbey had to take It In two snd three-ton lots, for the dealers refused to sell them more. Ben la SaaaU Lata. "We decline to make any large sales of any kind of coal on til the situation Im proves,' said one heavy dealer. "W e pre fer to take care of fifty customers with one ton each than to sell a carload to one man. If all the dealers 1 1 do the same, we may be able to keep Omaha warm cntll ths weather moderates. But we will be compelled Is raise prices within a day or two. Whatever coal we can get hold of from now on a ill cost lis mora money, and we will have to et mors money for It." Steam eoal, which cannot be stored In large quantities because of lis liability to spontaneous combustion, and which has to be taken day by day from the mines, has been steadily advancing since cold weather set in. Another advance was mads today, and ths nominal price Is g.sa a ton, though many manufactur ers and owners of apartment houses and office buildings are bidding higher than this and taking whatever coal can be found. Caaaet Aeeepf Ordera. Illinois mines wired local houses this morning that they were snowed in and refused to accept any more orders. I'p to the present prices on soft and hard coal for household use have not been advanced. They are the same as the prices that prevailed last summer. Fifty Loaves Given by Unknown Donor Fifty loaves of bread from "a friend" arrived at the City Mission yesterday morning Just In time to stay the hunger of a crowd of men. women and children driven by the coM Into the big room of the mission. There were more urgent calls for help from people driven desperate by the cold than on any day this winter. Many people, too III or miserable to get to the mission, and a few too proud to make known their condition, were found by mission workers snd given help, Thursday night aa aged colored women with her little grandson came to the mis sion door seeking a haven for the night The night before she had spent la the city Jau. No place could be found for them and they were taken to the home of some kind aolorad people for the night. The mission Is trying to find a home for these two unfortunates. Work for tea men was secured. Three men were furnished Jobe as ianltora In different pans of the city and six men were sent out on the tee. An old man 9 years old was placed In a home. He will be kept by his benefactors until the sra-m weather sets in. his duties being to keep the furnace going.

More thsn MOM columns of publicity la magazines and trade publications and more than a .Ota columns In newspspers were secured In till for Omaha by ' the publicity bureau of the Omaha Commer cial club, accord!. i to the annual report submitted by the directors of the bureau to the executive committee of the club. In addition to this, the report states, thirty conventions met In Omaha during the year at the Invitation of the bureau, bringing to ths city (0,000 strangers, dele gates to thi conventions snd others. "While the guests of the city," says the report, "these strangers were given every opportunity to study Omaha and its achle-'emenlx at first band, which la to be desired even more than the Informa tion which may be gained through tie usual channels ot publicity, "Aside from the publicity sttend:ng these conventions, the results bsve bees many and far-reaching. Especially la the ease of state conventions a bond of sympathy has been created and a closer union of Interests attained. The state convent lone have served the purpose of bringing the residents of the city sad state closer together. A kindly feeling has manifested Itself for Omaha through out ths state, which was sadly lacking. "Never in the history of Omaha have there been so many representative men from the United tttstes our guests as during the yesr.
