10 TIIEOMAITA DAILY BEEt WEDNESDAY, PEC KM 11 EH 24, 1002. WILL INVEST TWO MILLION Eock Inland Will M' Big Impr.Tement in Nebraska and Iowa. CUT-OFF FROM FAIRBURY TO HERINGTOM Haw I. In Will Give Omaha Johhrri Dlrert Oatlet to Southwestern Territory Early In the Irir Year. The Rock Island baa decided to expend 11,000,000 In permanent Improvements along Its line In Iowa, Nebraska and on West to Denver In 1903. These Improve ments are to be in the form of the bal lasting of tracks and Increasing depot fa cilities. The rear just closing shows tre mendous Improvement! by the Rock Island through the southwest and the new year will bring this campaign of betterment to the north. The most Important of all the new work to be done In thia section during the next year Is of great Interest to Omaha. It Is the construction of a new and direct line from Falrbury, Neb., to Ilerlngton, Kan., establishing a cut-off that will form a continuous connection with the main line and give a perfect outlet to the great Southwest and even to the gulf. This will afford Omaha Jobbers a short and direct line to thia valuable tributary country where they are already shipping large quantities of goods. Omaha wares have for some time found Increasing sale In the southwest, but owing to the lack of perfect railroad facilities the trade has not reached the proportions It might and doubtless will when the Rock Island completes Its new cut off, which will bs as early In the new year as possi ble. All the work contemplated under the appropriation of $2,000,000, and the con struction of this new line. Is to be under taken early In the spring and pushed with very facility. PROCESS BUTTER IN DEMAND Manefaeterer. laable Seeare Raoaah Milk to rill Their Reaalremeat. There la a shortage of milk which threat ens to reduce the local output of butter of the cheaper qualities. One manufacturer said: "We could manufacture and sell 10, 000 pounds of process butter a day, but can not get the milk necessary for churning the butter after It has been otherwise pre pared. We could use thirty cans a day, and ft Is only by hustling that we can get ten enns. The result Is that process butter Is higher than It would otherwise bs and sales of uncolored oleomargarine are conse i qucntly Increased." j With all of the shortage In the milk sup ply the process butter manufacturers of the ; state have done a large business since the I law placing their product under the con- ' trol of the t'nlted States went Into effect. There are seven, factories In this collection district, five at Omaha and South Omaha, I one at Lincoln and one at Hartlngton. These factories from July 1 to December 1 paid to the United States for revenue stamps the sum of $7,614.90, the greater , part of which was paid by two Omaha and ! one South Omaha concern. The tax la one i quarter of a cent a pound, which Indicates that the total output of the seven factories for the five months was 3,045,960 pounds. an average of 609,192 pounds per month.

DRAWS HANGING BY CHANCE Joseph Fater Decides Mode of Bad las Life by Drawlag Lots. Three small slips of paper decided the manner In which Joseph Fater, the young Roumanian who committed suicide at the Victoria hotel Monday morning, should bring about his own destruction. The young foreigner courted death to relieve him from the cares which encompassed his life and held a solitaire lottery In which he decided the mode of ending his life. Taking the slips of paper he wrote upon then the words, "hanging," "shooting" and "poison." Shuffling these together, he drew one of them, and the choice fell to the hanging route and was carried out. These facts are revealed In the translation of the letter left by Fater to his brother Bam. The coroner's Jury decided at a late hour Monday afternoon that Faler came to his death by his own hand. The funeral was held this afternoon from Bratley's under taking rooms, the body being taken to Pleasant Mill cemetery for Interment. Chlloren tTie it. "My little boy toek the croup one night." aya F.
