In proportion to thr size of the city in which it is printed, The Kansas City Star has a larger circulation than any of.her American newspaper. The Star was the first newspaper to give its readers a full week's paper six evenings and Sunday morning for 10 cents, a thing that could not te profitable except when done on the big scale on which the Star does everything. The Star was also the first to establish a weekly addition for the trifling price of 25 cents a year 110.000 regular circula.

With whispered words and other noisy attempts to keep quiet, the little people gathered at the open window beside us, and all at once, with hideous -bar noises" and other terrible sounds, a half dozen "scare jacks' appeared with grisly visages at the window. Of course we were greatly scared and the small surprises were as greatly elated. Their "jack scares" were eyes, nose and mouth carved through the lid of a cigar box and a lighted candle in the box.

This is the first number of the sixteenth year of the Eye. For fourteen years the writer has owned thia paper and in that period has experienced prosperity and adversity, joy and sorrow. success and defeat, in common with the other settlers. But through it all he has serenely plodded on, grateful for friendship and for th most part proud of the enemies he ha? rnsde, for they were made through telling the truth. Many of the readers of The Eye have been its friends for more than a decade.

It has not produced wealth for it owner but it is making him a living, and by the helpo those who owe him he will soon be entirely cut of debt. Thankir those whose support have mad- these things possible and thankful for tb many evidences of friendship, he Eye and itg publud will go on telling ihe truth, advocating the principles of the iieimtlican party md keeping the paper wholesome and ciean for the household, while giving the local happenings. lutlianiii.olis ami return $24 10 Auy.
