WILL DOUBLE MILL OUTPUT
Updike'S FIGURING Plant to BE In
creased I'm Capacity to Thou
snnd Barrels Daily.

The Updike Milling company has COM
pleted plans for doubling the capacity Of
the Omaha mill, changing from a capacity
OF 500 barrels a day to 1000 a day. In
making the change the company has de-
olded to change the plant from a steam
rolling mill to an electrically driven mill and
has arranged to secure its power from the
Electric Light and Power COM
pany. This change will save the enlarge
ment of the power plant when the rest Of
the plant is doubled in size.
Nels B. Updike, president Of the Updike
Milling company, said the demand for
flour had increased at such a rate that
his company had decided to have a mill
of 1000 barrel capacity instead of 500.

Once in Grain Business Here,
Dead at Butte.

BUTTE, Mont, Feb. 4.-(Special Tele-
gram.)-C. w. Cockrell, a prominent COM
mission man committed suicide here yes
terday by taking enough carbolic acid
to kill a dozen men.
For nearly two years he has been in
financial difficulties, although previously
he had been in a prosperous condition. His
condition was brought about by heavy
losses in mining stocks. Since that he has
been drinking, and this, coupled with the
fact that he and his wife frequently quar-
relied led to the deed. His wife had sold
the house a week ago and on the day of the
suicide started proceedings for legal sep
aration, and also got an order restraining
him from visiting the home. In the after
noon of that day he went there and asked
for his clothes.
After packing them in a suit case he
went to the ~woodshed, and after bidding
goodbye to his little daughter, drank the
contents Of a bottle Of acid. The funeral
will be held tomorrow morning under the
auspices Of the Elks.\
Charles w. Cockrell was a brother Of
Judge George c. Cockrell of Omaha. He
lived in omaha from 1887 up to about
twelve years ago, when he went to Butte.
He was engaged with his brother. the
judge, in the brokerage business in Omaha.
He came to this city from J~erseyville. Ill.
! He was a life member of the local lodge
Of Elks, which wired 10 Butte for detailed
information on learning of his suicide.
Judge Cockrell's first Information came
through the press dispatches.
Charles Cockrell was about 60 years of
age and had been married a few
years. Until recently his younger brother,
William. had been associated with him in

The scene Of this story is laid in Japan
and whichever side ones sympathies were
on In the Russo-Japanese war, we must all
agree that brave, blossomx, little Japan is
a country Of extraordinary interest and ex-
traordinary charm.
OF all this charm and beauty the author.
whose husband is attached to the American
embassy at Tokyo. writes from a full heart.
She has inhaled the fragrance of the lotus
flower. and is content to remain in lotus
land. So broadly inclusive are the pic
lures that she has drawn and colored Of
Japan and the Japanese that one feels the
book may easily find large numbers of
readers for It's scenic descriptions.
But excellently done as the story is from
this Important point of view, 1t is still
first and foremost a story. 1t is a story
OF love, of endeavor, Of sacrifice, of
triumph. Barbara Randolph, from Vir-
ginia, is the leading lady, but little Haru,
her maid, whose name means spring, who
wears a butterfly In her hair, speaks with
delightful quaintness, and lives in the street

her silent devotion, her humiliation, her
wonderful reverence for country that is to
be seen nowhere else in the world. The
plot is big, and It moves logically through
a succession Of situations of close anna

WILL HOLD MEET.
Georgetown Props Plan Another
Outdoor Scholastic Event.

Despite the fact that last years inter
scholastic field and track meet under the
auspices of the Georgetown Props, which
was held on the Hilltop Field in May,
was a financial failure, due to Indictment
weather, the embryoS have again de-
termined to take up the games, and
Manager McMullen is now planning to
hold another meet of the same sort dur
ing the coming May. He will make the
affair open to all the schools in the east
and south and judging from the number
of schools which were entered last year
there is every reason to believe that the
number Of entries will again be large and
the schools entered representative.
Baltimore, Philadelphia and Washing
ton schools took part last May, the point
trophy being carried off by Central High
of this city, after the hardest kind If
tussle with Baltimore City College. All Of
the local schools were well represented,
while Central Baltimore City College and
the Georgetown Props had their relay
teams taking rart. The sport was Of a
high type throughout the day, and if IL
had not been for the continual downpour
of rain which handicapped the runners
and kept away the large number of local
enthusiasts who would no doubt have at

that the event would have gone down

TRAINING INSISTED ON.
Coach Dempsey Posts Regulations
for GEORGETOWN Oarsmen.

That breaches of training will not be
tolerated among the candidates for the
Georgetown crews this year was made
clear to the men yesterday, when Coach
Dempsey posted the following regulations
in the boathouse: THE time has arrived
for all crew candidates to start training
and the showing YOU will make trying
for the varsity boat rests with yourself
If you do not train faithfully it is bound
to show when you are put to the test
while the man who has trained faith
fully will be there with the goods every
time he is called upon for more beef on
the end of the oar or long, hard pull
Every man has a chance for the boat
This crew will probably not be picked
until after the Henley regatta and this
will give every man an equal chance to
make good. am more than pleased with
the showing which you have made up to
the present.
"You should from now on be particular
in what you eat. 1t is positively neces-
sary that you should have three good
meals day and at each meal you should
take plenty of time-do not snatch a few
mouthfuls and then jump up from the
table Doing that will neither build you
up nor will it give you the strength re-
quired to pull a boat The best meats for
training purposes are beefsteak, roast
beef and mutton chops Also eat plenty
OF good vegetables, soft boiled eggs and
fish. Do not drink more than one cup of
coffee or tea at each meal and if possible
use milk instead of either. Do not eat
pastry.

Comiskey Going Abroad.

LOS ANG 4ES. Cal, March 9.-Presi-
dent Charles A. Comiskey of the Chicago
Americans has planned a European trip
which may be the forerunner of a VERT
able base ball invasion If success again
should perch on the South Side team.
Immediately after the close of the pres
ent base ball season Comskey, accom-
panied by his wife and son Louis, Secre-
tary F'redericks and his sister, Mrs. Ber-
mould of ST. Louis, and her two children,
will leave Chicago for New York, sail
ing for Queenstown. Mrs. ComiSkey' S
health is the primal reason for the trip,
her physician having advised a sea voy-
age.
While Comiskey fears the climate and
English ignorance of base ball might
make the trip abroad a failure, he is in
terested in the reported development of
the American game in London.
