DC. (not householders), so that its whole circula
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While Its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dist,,.csiue aud e,auioJs
position IN modern journalism, the fullness OF
its home circulation, the extent to which
household, and particularly by the pur-
chasing portion of the community, are
the marked characteristics of the paper,
to which no other daily Journal now
published can furnish parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is well established fact, demonstrated 70
the full satisfaction Of the sagacious and enter
prising business men of Washington, who seek
and know where to find THE LARGEST
RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT
FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven 10y the
growth of The STARs advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate the
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face Of ad-
verse claims and pretentious competition The
figures following tell the story on this point:

Selling Out in Kansas.

A letter from Atwood, Rawlins county /,
states that there are grounds for believ-
ing that the Burlington and Missouri is
negotiating to sell its branches in the
northwestern part of Kansas to the
Rock Island and to retire from Kansas.
The information upon which this rumor
is based was given by prominent official
of the Lincoln land company, a Burling-
ton and Missouri enterprise, which owns
a great deal of land, a number of town
sites and many privileges andfranchises in
that section. The lines that are included
in the supposed negotiations are the
branch from WymOre to Concordia, one
from Red Cloud to Oberlin, and one
from Orleans TO st. Francis, By build
ing short pieces of road west from Belle
vile. the Rock Island could easily in
cIude these branches in its system and
con tinuing westward could get an ali
line to Denver. The company now has a
line from Norton, Kan, TO Colorado
Strings, and Denver Is reached from the
Springs over another track, but this is
not satisfactory. 1t is stated that the
burlington and Missouri is selling off its
surplus ground at its several division
noiuts on the branches.

a BRAKE1rAN's GHOST.

An Incident that Made a Travelling Passen-
ger Agent out of a Freight Conductor.
"Ghost Hill, - on the line of the Gen.
trail railroad between Palmer and Ferris,
took its name from superstition among
railroad men. About eight years ago an
accident occurred on the hill IN which a
brakeman lost his life, and ever since
that time it has been claimed by train
men that the brakeman S ghost haunted
the spot, and as trans would run by
would ring the engine bell. This tale
became current, and the place has ever
since been known as "Ghost Hill.
About two years after the accident oo-
CURED George Ely, now travelling
passenger agent of the Queen
and Crescent route, was run
ming freight on the Central, and
one night was in the cab with the
engineer. While there he dropped
of asleep, and the fireman, who
is now q conductor on the Central
concluded he would have little fun at
Ely 5 expense.
The grade at uGhost Hill is heavy
one, and d freight train makes the ascent
almost at a snail's pace. This fact en-
sbled the fireman to get IN ms WORK
He blackened mis- face with coal dust,
tied big white rag about his head aud

BILE. Dropping from The engine 10 the
ground, he ran ahead OF the train, and
with his lantern tagged the engineer TO
stop. The whistle snrieked out tdoWn
brakes, - and this aroused Ely, who as
the train pulled up TO the fireman, saw
what he at once concluded TO be the dead
brakeman : ghost. With an eXciama-
tion of horror he scrambled over the
tender and back over the long hae OF
freight cars to the caboose, which by
this time was just where the sfgNles sasss

Famine Feared-Failrosd News.

Work on the Fort Worth and Albu-

considering the weather, and in two
weeks the heavy grading in the river

eyes, sir, that is what mean. The
reason we have not made any better
progress than we have, is that we did
not think it necessary, for one thing,
and then there were details that had
10 be attended to that annoyed us con-
siderably. These have all been arranged
now. and I know of nothing that can
prevent the work being finished as 1 tell

Mt. Hurley did tell the reporter some
thing that he would like to publish, but
as it was told with the understanding
that it would be withheld, confidence
must not be violated. Suffice it TO say
that the officers of the Albuquerque have
progressed a little further than most
people are aware of.
Work on the Belt line, which was tenn
porarily suspeued when work on the main
line was commenced, it is expected Will
