FWIG, Omaha, NE was the fastest growing US city in the 1880's; currently, OTL, it stands as the 40th largest US city with a population of about 454,700.

With a PoD no earlier than 1890*, how does Omaha acquire a population of at least a million, becoming one of the ten largest US cities? (One qualification -- no achieving this primarily by keeping down the competition.)

*though it can be later -- hence my choice of forum
