CHEYENNE CHICAGO.
A Direct Line Between the Magic
City and the Cattle Mart.
Through Passenger Trains on the
E,g--B B. & M. After Sunday.
Burlington Makes a Good Region
Tributary to Cheyenne.

A neatly displayed advertisement in
this issue includes the Burlington &
Missouri timetable, which takes effect to-
morrow.
The placing of an excellent passenger
service IN the line is an enterprise to be
expected only from such business-like and
aggressive corporations as the Burlington
& Missouri, a company which has done
more for Cheyenne in the past twelve
months than any other concern, no mat
ter how good its intentions, has accom-
plished in an equal number of years.
The people believe and THE LEADER
does not hesitate to say that the line will
be well %patronized, offering, as it does,
advantages and inducements to the gem
eral public and commercial world not
procurable from other quarters.
A through line to Chicago means a
great deal to the people of Cheyenne and
contiguous territory. Had one been es-
tablished ten years ago the benefit which
the region would have derived during
that period would of itself have enriched
the town.
Hereafter trains, to which will be at
tached through sleepers, will leave this
city at s o'clock every evening, reach
Omaha at $3.50 the following afternoon
and Chicago s o'clock the second morn
ing. At Omaha connection is made with
Kansas City, Burlington, st. Louis and
Peoria lines.
JourneYing westward the traveller
boards a train at Chicago at l o'clock p.
M, and reaches Cheyenne at fifteen min
utes past midnight the following morn
ing. Occupants of the sleeper upon reach
ing this city, will be permitted to re-
main in their berths until 7 o'clock the
morning of arrival.
The Burlington is one of the great
railway lines of the country. The liberal,
conservative and shrewd managers have
won public confidence, and the stock
holders have been the gamers. Wherever
the line maintains a station it aids in the
upbuilding of the country. The Cheyenne
Il Burlington, though making its prelimi-
nary advent in this city but a short time
since, owns an immense amount of valu-
able property acquired by purchase, and
has expressed a willingness to aid in all
enterprises, having but lately offered re-
markably low figures to encourage the
Importation of corn for the feeding of
cattle at this point.
The freight traffic of the Burlington,
although the line has been in operation
but a few weeks, has assumed quite re-
spectacle proportions and is steadily in
creasing.
The completion of the road has already
been the means of opening a new market
to Cheyenne merchants. Every settler
between this city and Holdrege and per-
haps a few miles beyond purchase here.
Local wholesalers daily ship large CON
signments of goods to the new towns
which have sprung up along the line.
1t is neither desirable nor advisable to
indulge in too fulsome praise of the new
line. 1t is here, it is welcome, and will
be ~patronized by those who chose to be-
come its customers. The writer has been
assured a rate wal between the Burling-
ton and Union Pacific is not probable.
The roads will simply be friendly rivals,
believing that there is enough business
for both and leaving the public to Judge
as to their merits.
