No more interesting innovation in
a newspaper has been made in recent
years than the pictorial selection,
which is now a fixed feature of the
Boston Sunday Herald. Unlike many
attempts made in the same direction,
The Herald varies the character of
the contents each issue in a way to
create fresh interest in it. The
comic element is bright and original,
and furnishes enough food for merri-
ment to last a week. The Herald is
certainly advancingin all the depart
ments which have made it New Eng
lands greatest newspaper, and in the
new departure, upon which we have
laid special stress, The Herald should
not only win the approval of the Her.
AIDS old clientele, but attract a host
of new readers, who seek a few rays
of intellectual sunshine in the gray
landscape of the Herald's splendid ex-
hibition of news gathering and edito-
rial management. The Herald is
never dull, but so dignified a paper
has not always been as welcome to
the masses as it should now become.
Those of our readers who are not &C.
quainted with The Boston Sunday
Herald as it is now made, should Sc
cure next Sundays isste.

DIR. G. E. Marsh of Denver is
now at the Brown hotel and will
remain for several days. DR..
Marsh has been visiting Jules
burg for some time and has done
a large amount of dental work
for citizens here, all of which has

line should take advantage of this
opportunity. The doctor is an
expert dentist; he is graduate
of the Indiana dental college, and
has had large experience in
practical dentistry. His methods
are painless and all of his work is
guaranteed to give satisfaction.
Julesburg, which has so long been
without the services of first

The silver republicans of the
state will refuse to combine with
the democrats and popullsts this
year unless they are permitted
to name the head of the state
ticket. This action was decided
upon last Saturday at a meeting
of the silver republican central
committee in Denver. Only in
the closest fusion has the opposi-
ton any hope of defeating the
republicans, and for this reason
the democrats and populists may
accept the ultimatum of the silver
REPUBLICANS. However, even then
they cannot win, for a sound
money republican is as sure of
being elected governor of Color
ado next fall as Mckinley is sure
of reelection.

Horse SiCkneaa.

And this naturally leads one to say
word regarding horse sickness, of
which everybody has been reading of
late. Horse sickness is complaint
known only in certain parts of South
Africa. but science has, so far, been BAT
fled as to its causes, although it's eff
fects are only too patent. When the
first frost comes it seems to disappear
as if by magic, but Immediately the hot
weather sets in then this ravaging COM
plant makes its temperance. But if
the British authorities are ignorant as
to the cause of the trouble experience
is teaching them how to guard against
it. The correspondent of the Globe,
who signed himself '"Transvaaler" may
rest assured that the military authori-
ties are taking every precaution against
what he describes as "another enemy
besides the Boer." And the precautions
adopted are on the lines he has'suggest-
ed, although, as has been pointed out,
it is impossible when an army is on the
march to adapt the only really safe
course, and stable animals every night.

In HiStOry.

4 MONG the great figures in Amer
~ lean history none stands out
more prominently than that of
Abraham Lincoln, whose birthday
February 12-will, no doubt, before
long be observed as national holiday.
Not only in the north, but in the south
as we'll, his heroic life and exemplary
devotion to duty are beginning to meet
with genuine appreciation, and union
lists and secessionists are united in be-
lieving that his doctrine of "charity
for all and malice toward none" was
not mere figure of speech, but SOL
emn conviction and the oltcry of a
heart devoted to the best interests of
the nation and beating i'll sympathy
with the common people,"
Lincoln's life reads like a romance.
A railsplitter at 21, an officer in the
United States service at 20, a legislator
at rs, 4 benedict at 33, congressman
1T 80, and president at 81; filing every
position to the best of his ability and
winning the admiration of friend and
foe. His legislative duties extended
through eight years-1S34-1S42; so that
when he reached Washington as a men,
Der of the house of representatives he
was qualified thoroughly for his duties.
It is exceptional for any congressman
to make much of record IN single
term, but the young giant from Illinois
succeeded not only in attracting gen.
eral attention but impressed many of
