BUSINES MENTION, WANTS AND finnouncements. STYLE IN READINC. Style means several things and they all apply to reading. Style means fashion; there are fashions in reading. Style means manners; there are manners in reading, © Good manners and bad manners in print may he as im- pudent as anywhere. Intelligent people prefer reading that approaches them like a gentleman—sensible, earnest, and to the point. A bargain is a magnet; uncover it and needles will head your way. We offer that bargain when we say to our patrons, Send us $3.90 and it will pay for a year's subscription to both this paper and the Cosmopolitan Magazine. The offer Is a genuine bargain, and those of our friends who are not now taking a first-class Magazine into their homes should see to it that they do not miss this opportunity. ALL THE YEAR ROUND. The greatest success hitherto attained in the Magazine field must be accorded to the Cosmopolitan, jumping as it has from 16,000 copies in 1889 to an edition of 150.000 copies for January, 1893. That there is cause for this success goes with- out saying. No other publication, of any description, before the public makes the effort to give its readers the best of everything, and succeeds in doing it as does tunis monthly. Its illustrations lead the world; its literary merit is certainly of the highest order that money can buy or brains produce. Each month, from year’s end to year’s end, can be found in side its covers something to instruct and please every member of the household. In fact a year's careful veading of the Cosmopolitan means a progressive siep in the education of any man or woman in the land. WE OFFER YOU the monthly visits of this popular maga- zine for a year, if taken in connection with a vear’s subscription to THE STAR, for only $3.90. This we are able to do through a special contract made in behalf of our readers with the Magazine pub- lishers. The price of the Cosmopolitan alone is $3.00, at which price it is the cheapest of monthlies, giving as it does 15386 pages of reading matter, with over 1200 illustrations for a single year’s sub- scription.

As long atime as David reigned, so long has the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway run trains westward from Chicago. The Rock Island is foremost in adopting any advantage calculated to improve speed and give that luxury, safety and comfort that popular Pauonage demands. Its equipment is thorongh- complete with vestibu'ed trains, magnificent dining cars, slee pers and chair coaches, all the most elegant, and of recently improved patterns. Faithful and capable management and polite, honest service from employes are important pany and to travelers—and it is sometimes a task difficult of accomplishment.
