A meeting of the directors of the Omaha, Dodge City Southern railroad was held in this city yesterday at the Oriel building, and a large number of prominent citizens from Nebraska were present. This road will be built beyond a doubt, and work will be commenced this fall. Among the towns that will be reached, starting from our city, are the following, which is the line of road as surveyed to Superior, Nebraska. Dodge City, Jetmore, Riverside, Ba-zine, McCracken, Riverview, Hays City, Motor, Osborne. Cawker City, Ionia, Mankato Reubins and Superior City.

At Superior City this road will connect with the following lines: The C. B. Northwestern, Missouri Pacific, A. T. S.

Superior Carney and the Rock Island railroad, which is now building to that point. All cities and towns along this route are enthusiastic over the building of this road and the business men have guaranteed the full amount of aid asked. We are now assured of having a north and south line of railroad that will make Dodge City the only important city in the west. The eontracts for work between this city and Superior, be let this fall.and the work on tbe whole line will be completed the coming year. Our leading business men of this city are inter-tested in the road, and nothing will be left undone to push the work at once.

AU who have any knowledge whatever of the route of the D. S. declare it to be the important road of the great southwest, and a line that will be of more benefit to our county than all the rest combined. A large amount of city property that was on the market here, was withdrawn on receipt of the news that this road would positively be built. The following prominent citizens, who reside along the line of this road, were in our city yesterday: Hon.

S. S. Bowles, of Mankato, Hon. R. R.

Hays.ex-senator from Osborne; D. L. Williams, of E. Farnsworth and Fred Rice, ofBazine; E. S.

Chenoweth, a banker, and Mr. Starrett, of McCracken, and several other prominent railroad and business men whose names we were unable to obtain. Our people should rejoice over the certaiuty of buildiDg this road because Dodge City will be its headquarters in the southwest, and hundreds of men working on the line will make this place their home. All the towns on this line must now pay nearly one-half more for freight; by getting it in a round-about way than they will when it is shipped direct from Chicago via. Omaha to Dodge City.

Dodge City Democrat. The following from the Osborne County Farmer, shows that they mean business: C. E. Gallagher.of the Omaha, Dodge City Southwestern Railroad is in the city to-day and reports the survey completed to Superior, Neb. The surveyors are now at work correcting the line.

The new route will be run about four miles south of then southwest to connect with their former survey at this place. More care is being taken in surveying this line than is usually taken on a preliminary survey, anp we are assured that it inay be considered as per-mandent after a few slight changes in the former survey between here and Dodge City, Mr. Gallagher says the railroads connecting at Superior are favorable to this project and will assist in perfecting the same. The people all along the line are enthusiastically in favor of the road, and the outlook is brighter than was expected. The road will be a very easy one to build.owing po the practicability of the route selected.

McCracken, the queen city of the Big Timber valley a railroad center the seat of the higher normal school education the central grain market for a large area of rich and productive country the far-famed city for hospi tality, morality and religion boasting three church organizations and the banner eunday school of the county never slow or slack in all charitable enterprises. She can boast of a good bank, of business houses above the average and of business men who are genuine rustlers, of sociability unexcelled, of good musical talent and a high degree of intelligence and of manly men and beautiful women. But with all herdvantages and the many tilings mentioned and things too numerous to mention of a highly recommending character, it must be confessed with a blush of sadness and shame that McCracken (whisper it softly) has no beautiful cemetery no provision for our honored dead no city for the dead. The living areabun-dantly provided for Jbut what of the dead? Do we expect to live forever? We are still compelled to go through the heat of summer and the cold and and storms of winter either to Hamp ton or Elm Valley cemetery six miles away to bury our dead. Now let me ask how does this comport with the spirit of enterprise and intelligence of our citizens? Is it business? Don't you suppose that emigrautson coming to our town will look for our cemetery? And what wonder if they should go to some pther town? People want to live where they can show some respect to their dead, and who can blame them? the time is ripe for a movement along this line.
