EDITOR HERALD A short time ago
piece was written and published in
Tue Teller headed Political Reelection
The article referred to, was in answer
TO a note from Mt Ida that appeared
in the Herald of Jan. 18th, 1888, which
note mentioned the one man as a prob
able candidate for the assembly
The mind of the Teller correspondent
seems to be troubled on that account;
it may be that after serious rejecting
over the past, and prospects in the
future, he has come to the conclusion
that he has lost his political grip, and
now wants to hit some one, for he says:
"most assuredly the man that wrote
the article expects to get there next
term, or he would not have written it. y
Then again the one man is charged with
making pledges to get there and then
breaking them, and further on the writer
says. 1--WE have n county board that
thinks they always do right, but when
they do a thing to be with the crowds
how small they do get"
The article may seem to some to be
a little cranky, and short of meaning,
we will say to our friend, that Mt Ida,
prairie is almost visible since the rain
to-day, and does not appear to be much
elevated and we would like the big bluff
east of US, to fill up the Gap.

A Queer Discovery.

There are more things in heaven
and earth, Horatio, than are dreamed
OF in your philosophy. Wonders seem
never to cease. A few days since a
gentleman living on the Platte, having
leisure, thought he would prove to his
own satisfaction. what had long lnger-
ed in his mind that gold existed in the
bed of The Platte. Having noticed last
fall in different places block sand, and
having had mining experience in Cali
fornia. he determined to test il. No
particular opportunity occurred until
this winter, when he gathered several
samples from the bed of the river and
using the we'll known process of pan
ning' discovered several ''colors" in
the residue A "color," il should be
mentioned, is a small nugget or speck
of gold. There was considerable ex-
element in the family. but matters are
for the present kept very quiet until
spring will allow further investigation
and prospecting. THERE'S possibly and
very probably gold lead on the Platte
from which this float gold has come.
You may hear further from the matter.
