This morning Mr. Frank Kos, who
resides in Billing's Row, accidentally
shot himself in ths leg while handling a
32 calibre revolver. The ball entered
just above the ankle, severing an artery,
causing the blood to flow so that he
nearly bled to death before the arrival
of Dr. Schildkneeht, who succeeded in
stopping the flow in a short time. He is
a man about CO years of age.
Since a few lines of poetry appeared
in this paper last Saturday signed Lillie
S., it is surprising to know the number
of inquiries made as to who the young
lady is that wrote the piece. Judging
by the tone of the few lines, she wanted
a lover, end would have one- under any
consideration. Jow, as we are as igno
rant as anybody, Biucc only the first name
and Initial letter of the last appealed,
the young lady would do well to send in
her whole name to us privately and we
will do what we can for her. If she
wishes a lover, we will advertise for one
and no one need be any the wiser except
ing parties directly interested. As there
are so niany young men anxious tn know
who the young lady U, there is no need
to complain of lantlines, and e jyould
be pleased to hear from her, promising to
help her all we can.
The weeds growing on the different
streets have readied such a degree of prom
inence that we feel obliged to mention
the fact. For what purpose they are
nourished and cared for, wo know not,
all we know is that they will soon be riv
als of the treks by which they grow if
they are left to themselves much longer.
Where can another city be found that
boasts so much of her weeds? We are
sure Plattsmouth hus no rival. How
beautiful they look in their prominence
and grandeur. In the early morning the
birds can be heard singing in the tops of
them high in the air. Since they have
grown to such a size it would certainly
be a shame to chop them down. Any
way it would cost the city too much now
as a man might find a day's work if he
tackled four or five. As they are numer
ous now it would not be well to set men
to work with their axes as a few months
more will bring the winter around again
and they will die then, and the work
would not be completed before that time.
Why is it that other cities do not take as
much pleasure in such a beautiful pro
duct? Nearly all of them have men em
ployed in mowing them before they reach
as extensive a growth. They are then
cut at a small expense. We don't see
why other places are not up with the style.
We would invite any parties wishing to
make a purchase of the seed of such a
growth to visit the city, as they can be
furnished with an abundance and at a
yery moderate rate.

.Old "pal'' a colored citizen, is quite
worked up oyer the column article which
appeared in the Journal of Thursday,
and we would advise the local reporter
of that papeF to stear clear, for if he
ever drops one of thsse hands on a man
he is liable to leaye him the same color.
Mr. S. Waugh, of the First National
Bank, received news a few days ago
which proved to be the most severe to
hinj He received a dispatch from
Wellsburg, West Virginia, stating that
his sister, Miss Eliza, was dead. This
news was a second blow to him of late,
as only a few weeks ago his mother died
very suddenly.
The Liederkranz of this city are the
possessors of a flue lot on the hill at the
end of 5th street, which, when the drain
at the bottom of the hill is covered up
and the new sewer completed, will pre
sent a very striking and favorite pleasure
resort. They are talking of improving
it in some way and use it as a beer garden
for the society, exclusively, where they
will hold Sunday picnics.
On Thursday a Swede couple were
joined in the holy bonds of matrimony,
and, in modern times, a more exciting
time over such an event is seldom read
of. That night a regular army gathered
around their house armed with all the
old tin pans, kettles and other musical
instruments to be found in the neighbor
hood. Their war-whoops could be heard
for about a mile and lasted for about
two hours, until, it is supposed, they
were scared away. Such a sendoff as
that received by a newly married couple
is enough to shock their nerves and make
married life a burden to them.
From Friday's Uaily.
