A meeting largely attended was held
in the court house on Thursday evening
last to take steps toward securing this
road. Mr.. D. F. Owens was elected
chairman and Rush Dearborn secretary.
Gentlemen connected with the road
gave full explanation of the plans and
prospects which were encouraging in
every way Messrs Beeson, Dent and
c. A. Milton were appointed a committee
to solicit funds to be expended in a pre-
liminary survey and prepare prospectus
A committee appointed by the board
of trade of Omaha accompanied by others
insterested along the line will at once
visit Chicago and New York to mage all
financial arrangements necessary to push
the enterprise to completion.
This is very important road as it
will form short direct communication
with the Indian Territory and Mexico.
1t will also give us another direct line to
the great coal fields west of US. Trim

Dodge City is determined to be not
only the metropolis of the southwest, but
a very important railroad center and
must not let these opportunities pass
unimproved.

ROCK ISLAND ROAD.

Certain officials of the Rock Island
road yesterday leased for period of 8 to
years the northeast corner store of the
Kelly block to be used as ticket and
express Office. They have also staked
out grounds for stock yards and arranged
for side tracks to accommodate the large
ly increasing trade. The business of
this road is constantly increasing and
we doubt not that with its gentlemanly
management and far seeing policy, it
will do the larger share of the carrying
trade of the future.

BLOOM ITEMS.

The prospects for good crop are all
that can be desired. Farmers are busy
as bees endeavoring to put in all the
crop possible. Some have corn up and
looking well. The abundant rain and
warm sun are making things look beau
tiful.
In this town is need of few
dwelling houses. We think it would
be good investment and also benefit
to the town, and new corners would not
be inclined to seek for home in some
other town. Hope some carpenters
will soon be seen at work. L.

DON'T MARRY A MAN TO SAVE HIM.

DON'T MARRY NAN TO SAVE HIM.
| BY SARAH X. BOLTON.
| U woman, You re sold at fearful price,
| If you wed your virtue to that Of vice,
| And trust your soul to a chance device:
| Don't marry man TO save him.
| A life that is pure needs pure one in turn,
A being to honor and not to spurn,
An equal love that shall constant burn;
| Don't marry man to save him!
A woman life is precious thing;
Her love is a rose unwithering;
| Would you bury it deep in its early springs
| Don't marry a man to save him.
| You can pray for his soul from morn till eve;
| You can WIN the angels to bring reprieve
| To his sin bound heart; but you'll always grieve
II you marry man to save him.
God gives to woman right to press
Her claims to mans best manliness:
woman gives all-should a man give less.
Don't marry a man to save him.
