Great Grain shipments.

The lines through South Dakota follow
the Missouri river region, except for the
branch going TO Deadwood to the big min
ing districts Of the Black Hills. Wheat in
thousands of tons pour into Omaha from
here an unofficial estimate of the amount
being that Omaha received over 60 per cent
of the grain shipments from this country.
An inspection OF the list of Omaha manu-
facturers reveals the fact that the widest
sort of diversity characterizes the manu-
featuring activity of the city. Some of the
most novel articles of manufacture to be
imagined are among the output of local
concerns, in the same surprising volume
as that attending the manufactures in I'M
mensely larger cities than this.
In considering the reasons for Omaha 8
good fortune in possessing and attracting
manufacturers, those in the seething bust
ness explain first and foremost the fact
that the town is happily blessed with many
railroads and is situated as advantage
ousy in this respect as any city in the
country. Were it not for the start the
older cities have and the value in certain
respects OF being located on the seaboard
those who have studied the situation say
Omaha is a greater town than the other
great cities.

Facility Appeals to An.

The facility with which materials may
be assembled here is one which makes It's
appeal readily TO all discerning manufac-
turers. Freight rates and time with them
are the chiefest influencing condition.
With all its many natural advantages
Omaha is certain to grow and make greater
gains for its jobbeFs and wholesalers. The
railroads are a most important factor In
helping this city to attain its wonderful
supremacy, and the improvements they are
making and the way in which they are
catering to this city make for much that
will aid in the development of Omaha S
business.
The manner in which the railroads are
spending money in the development OF their
| facilities in this city proves that they
realize the outlook for this city's growth
| and also shows that Omaha's business Is
increasing so much that larger facilities
are needed right now.

NATURAL SUPPLY STATION
Gateway" a Term that is APPLY APP
piled to Progressive Omaha.
ALL WEST AT THIS CITY's DOOR
Great Railroads spread from Here
Like a Fan and Cover Richest
section of This wonderful
Country.

Omaha is the natural supply point for q
vast territory. \ glance at the map will
show how great a gateway II is to the vast
west and how centrally located II is for
trace with the west, south. north and east.
Olrcha's vast territory extends over an
empire that is but now being developed.
omaha must grow because It Is the natural
market town for the most rapidly growing
section Of the United States.
Because Of its ideal location Omaha has
many railroad advantages. Its railroads
shoot out I'm every direction, offering mer-
chants in all sections Of the middle west
the quickest kind Of facilities for the trans
portation of freight Goods can be shipped
from Omaha to any point in the middle
west in a very short time. So many towns
ana cities are within a nights ride Of
Omaha that the charges on freight are
low. and it pays the merchants in these
many middle western states TO trade with
Omaha jobbers and wholesalers. The
freight rates in this section of the country
are favorable to Omaha and this city does
not suffer for Kansas City, Minneapolis or
Chicago.
Rate Decision Helps Omaha.
The recent freight rate decision will help
Omaha jobbeis and will hurt the trade Of
coast jobbers san Francisco's trade will
be injured The advantages for Omaha
because OF its ideal railroad location are
many and the dealers in the small towns
OF Nebraska aud adjoining states get all
the good effects because they are enabled
to secure goods in a short time and at low
freight rates.
Spreading from Omaha like huge fan,
the lines of the Northwestern road are
tributary to this city from Lander in
wyoming. from Deadwood and Dallas In
South Dakota and all the great country In
northern Nebraska and Iowa.
With this huge system extending far to
the east, Omaha has direct connections
with an immense amount Of freight and
passenger trade being brought TO its doors
by the long strings of cars. The line from
Lander. on what is known as the Wyoming
and Northwestern division of the road,
runs through the Platte and Niobrara val
leys, through the greatest crop raising part
Of the state. The two dry years which
have just passed illustrate what an advan-
tage this means, as where the farmers in
some parts OF the state are crippled and
will not have large shipments of grain
the rain has fallen steadily in this terri
tory and the biggest crop of years will be
the result.

A ew days ago two French girls

clothes line, which he believed led to
the window of the room in which the

to arouse the girls.
The clothes line, however, was at
tached to the window Of the room in
which John Guichen and his wife

Guichen fired through the window, the
bullet striking Ardanaz.
Guichen has been eNonerated after

whose body was found Wednesday in
her home, confessed today that he
attempted to rob the Sellwood bank
Monday and assaulted the aged jani-
tor, Peter Jensen, and confessed also
that he assaulted the bookkeeper in
the basement of the bank last Novem-

Blosser was arrested today at his
home in Sellwood, a suburb of Port
land, by Detectives Coleman and
Snow, and at headquarters made a
written confession to both affairs.
Following Blosesr's arrest and con-
fession the police are investigating

suicide, and the explanation has been
made that she took prussic acid, but
prussic acid acts Immediately, and no
bottle of any kind can be found in the
room in which the acid might have
been conveyed, say the police. Her
body was found by Mrs. Mabel Bios
ser, a sister of Blosser, when she
called at the home Wednesday after
noon
AS soon as the man confessed he
was asked whether his wife had com
mitted suicide. The man, became con-
fused, and, after stammering a while,
said
"Well, there were other reasons
than that of her death"
The police assert that he was seen
to leave the house shortly before the
woman's body was found. They told
Blosser that every effort would be
made to ascertain whether the wo-
man died by her own hand or was
murdered.
Blosser says he attempted to rob
the bank because he was hard up"
1t is probable that the body of Mrs.
Blosser will be exhumed for re-exam-
ination by the coroner.

Chisholm, at which time each de-
clared the other to be stranger.
Mrs. Powell declares she burned the
policy because she feared her ac-
quaintance with Powell would get her
into trouble, and she did not wish to
have any evidence about which might
connect her with her husbands
death.
Either Bullet Fatal.
John w. Powell was found mur-
dered in tent in Coleman's gulch
near Fort Ross early in March.
Two bullet wounds in the head was
responsible for his death. A revolver
was found near his body, but an in
quest showed that either bullet
would have caused death, making It
impossible for Powell to have COM
mitted suicide. Miss Venice Dean,
trained nurse was responsible for
Chrisholm's arrest. She told the po-
lice that Chisholm tried to gain her
consent to assist him in collecting an
old insurance policy, When she re-
fused to enter into the arrangement
she stated that Chisholm replied that
he would get blanche" to assist
him. This furnished the police with
the clew that the murder was COM
mitted with the motive of collecting
Powell's life insurance policy. In
vestigation showed that he carried
$4,000 policy.
Several days later Chisholm was
arrested and the police endeavored
to connect him with Powells murder.
Chisholm Indignantly denied all
knowledge of the crime, stated that
