KNOCKING AT THE DROR For Admission Into the Union, Interesting Intarview With Senator Saunders, Chair- man of the Committee on Territories, Wew Moxico and Dakota to Make Application for Admission the county, your correspondent is looking forward to a pretty lively time, The Pilot has a new steam pross. Dr. Glover, from Bell Creck, re ports that lively little town in a flour ishing condition, The Blair schools commence the fall term this morning, with Prof. {ake, lately from Ohio, as principal. Tho now tinion depot is now com- pleted and is one of tho finest on the road.

Y The Hon, Alvin Saunders, A mem- ber of the Wnited States senate from the neighboring state of Nebraska, is in the city. A Republican re waited upon him yesterday dfternoon, in the office of the United States in- tornal revenue collector, J. 8, Wolfe. Senator Saunders is a gentleman of the thorough-going western type, courteous and affable. He was found to be very willing to give to the peo- ple anything that might be of interest tothem concerning the aims and ob- Jects of his trip through the west. Senator Saunders is on tho senate wommittee on Indian affairs and on wthat of railroads. He also holds the wery important position of chairman ‘of the committee on territories, All three of these are very important western committees, and cover a field of labor for which, by reason of his long residence in the west, the gen- tleman is well fitted. He has just re- turned from a visit to Santa Fe, Al- buquerque and other points of interest in %{ew Mexico and Southern Colo- rado. He expressed himself as pleas- antly surprised with the cvidences of rapid growth and pmnlmrity which he ‘witnessed upon every hand. During his stay in New Mexico he visited several large cattle ranches, and learn- ed someching of the life of the cow- ‘):Smmlnr Saunders,” said the re- rter, ‘‘is your visit to Colorado and ew Mexico made in the interest of your official duties as United States senator?”’ “‘Yes, sir, 1t is very probable that during the next session of congress very important matters will come be- tore the various committees of which 1 am a member on the questions of dividing territories, the admission of About twenty-five of the veterana of this county will go. Hix. AN INFERNAL MACHINE, Attempted Execution of a Fiendish Conspiracy Against Judgo Pon- dery and His Family in Leadville. Leadville Democrat, Thirty minutes after midnight yes- terday morning, and when the dark- ness was at its height, the silent air was rent by a terrible report, that was attended by the vibrations of a thunderbolt, Windows were raised and doors swung back violently as half-dressed forms peered out in won- derment. The sound was located in the west portion of the city, and in this direction the police bent their hurried footsteps, with the reporters of the morning papers in yvigorous pursuit. The only thing that the excited citi- zens had recourse to was conjecture. With this license various solutions were offered, and while a number were plausible the reporter 'rejected them and no reference was made, save the bare announcement of an ex- plosion, Night passed and the expla- nation was furnished by the occupants of Judge Pendery’s house, on the corner of Seventh street and Pine. The startling reports that an effort had been made to dispatch Judge Pendery into the dominions of death, invited a large erowd to his residence. The front of the house was the pic- ture of dissolution, and every pane of glass was shattered from the bay indow; the hinges of the gate were ointed and it laid upon the ground in the midst of dirt and boards, the new states, upon Indian affairs and upon western railroads, T wished to inform myself upon these subjects by personal observation. T have already visited New Mexico, and shall yet visit Dakota, both of which will prc- bably apply for admission next win- ter. During the past session of con- ress 1 was instrumental in introdue- ing a bill providing fer the division of Dakota into two territories, with an eye to the admission of the southern part of it into the Union as a state, Owing to the dead-lock arising from the Conkling-Garfield troubles, and the press of other public business, we did not reach it. {'.‘arly in the coming session it will come up, and I am of the opinion that Dakota will be di- vided and the southern part of it made a state of the Union. The question was then asked if New Mexico would apply for admis- sion as a state, “T think it probable that New Mex- ico will make such an application next winter, There is a desire on the part of what we call the American popula- tion that their territory become a atate. The feeling of the Mexicans, however, is mostly that of apathy. I am in favor of every territory being admitted as a state as soon as it ar- Tives at that point of development ‘where it is fully capable of managing its own affaire T hardly beleve that New Mexico has arrived at _that point yet. Consequently, T hardly believe that New Moxico will become a state for a tune yet. 1t is not desirable to permit & territory to become one of these United States until it is actually prepared to become such. It is more of an jury than a benefit to the ple living within the territory. ou know Nevada was admitted soon enough,” The last sontence was spoken with a faint, upward slide of the voice, in- terrogatively, as it were, The sena- tor was a member of the senate com- mittee appointed two years ago or more to investigate the practicability of turning the Indians over to the oare of the war department. While upon that committee he traveled quite extensively among the Indians in the Indian Territory and other sections of tho west. He spoke at length upon the Indian question, and of its rapid and permanent settlement by imumi- gration, He spoke of his surprise at the strong hold the Mormons had made, and their rapid spread in the territories of Idaho, Arizona, and even in New Mexico, Senator Saunders is fully alive to the importance and magnitude of this question. He realizes what many do not, how actively, how keenly, these ple believe their faith, and how rmly the majority of them, men and women alike, more especially the wo- aen, even those in Ku lygamy, believe in t‘la justness and holiness of the ices of their religion. He real- azes, too, how immensely these facts add to the colné)liunlun- of the mat- ter, Bendtor Saunders is a tall, port- 1y, elderly gentleman, of fino presence and seems to be enjoying his visit in the west to the utmost. — Blair Briefs Corsespondence of The Bee. Buag, September 5'—While the drouth of the last five weeks has been very disagreeable and unhealthy, yet the crop of corn and potatoes are do- ing well, the corn in this county being & good erop and many of the fields being out of the way of frost. The district fair, to be held at Oakland, Burt county, commences to-day, and from all reports there will be o good attendance and display of products from all the counties. The prospects are good for a lively campaigh this fall in this county. In all pmba.him{ there will be three tick- ets in the field, owing to the split in the republican party of 1his county. The demoorats now haye an the shapo of n paper just startod by el N TR Demoorat.” With the thyse Roky onoh supporting o tioket of its orra 1 | s nails that had held the weatlor- boards to the house were extracted by the violence of some concussion and it looked as if & bombshell Lad visited the place. 'The reporter called upon Judge Pendery at onco and announc- od his errand; the gentleman very generously narrated the details of the affair, He said that about 10 o'cl on Friday night he disrobed and retir- ed with a number of papers beside him. He read for some time, and gutting into a semi-slumber, he indis- tinetly heard the clock strike 11. He looked up and asking his wife, who was employing the needle, he suggest- ed something in reference to the hour, and turning over was soon sound asleep. He knew no more until half- past twelve o'clock, when he was aroused by a tremendous shock, and the house trembling convulsively. -| Springing from his bed, he inserted his feet into his slippers, and seizing his revolver he rushed out of the door and ran d the Rouse, No one was to bo , and returning to the house, he found his wife in pos- session of the utmost terpor. The glass had been knocked from the window, and after making an examination, the judge finally con- cluded that some one had hurled a stick of wood through the window. He tried to convince Mrs. Pendery that this was the extent of the dis- turbance, but her excitement and fright could not be appeased, and she declined to lie down any more that night. The explosion was too for- midable to convince her that it was no more than the collision of a stick of wood with the window, and she suspicioned at first that it was the at- tempt to consummate some fiendish design agamst her husband. The ex- citement gradually abated, and re- turning to her bed, she slept until murniu‘f Shortly after sunrise, Judge Pendery walked out of the door, and as the wreck ot the fence confronted him, he started back with a shudder, The ground was plowed up in deep furrows, and quite a holo was visible near where the Zate post had stood. It was quite evident to him then that the oxplosion was the thundered alarm of some foul conspiracy aguinst the lifo of himself and wife, He looked into the wrock carefully, and then glancing around, found™ the ground showered with glass, There was the streaks of powder upon the gate post, and the evidence justified the conclus- ion that some one had attempted to imitate the Russian plan of dethron- ing czars, and had purposed to blow him out of time into eternity. Here- turned to the house, and summoning his wifo as a witness, they ruviowafi the disaster. Upon the side of the house the plastering was broken in soveral large seams, and upon the carpet was a lorge amount of dirt and pieces of wood. Near the spot where the gate-post had stood was found a tin can, and on one surface was a hole large enough to admit a finger. In this was the stab of a tallow candle and the charred remains of a fuse, ‘I'his was the most important witness in all the surround- ings, and it is now preserved, There was no doubt now that the assassins had been there with their infornal machine, and the judge repaired to the police headquarters at once and mado his report. 1t is his impression that some one was trying to kill him, but when he first awoke he said that he thought that some one had thrown a stick of wood through the window, Mrs. Pendery says that she at once conceived the idea of a visit from thieves, and that in making a hurried escape thoy had collided with a chan- delier in the parlor and knocked it down, Is it Possible? That & remedy made of such common, sumplo plants as hops, buchu, wan. drake, dandelion, ete., make so many and such marvelous and wonderful ocures as Hop Bitters do? It must be, for when old and, young, rich and poor, pastor and doctor, lawyer and (editor, all testify o being cured by them, wo must believe mg doubt no hger, Beptl-Ootld THE OMAHA DAI POM LOGY. Meeting in Its Intecest By the South Platte Society. A Very Entertaining Sossion is the Result, Correspondance of T Platte Pome In prominent fruit Janua number of 8 in the South Platte region of 3 ska, assembled in the office of Ju Mason Lin coln, for the pur of organizing asociety for the neement of the interest in pome It was consid- ered that the as sufficient ¢ ence in the seasons of the ripening of froits in the rth and South Platte regions to justify the forming of two socictios. The object of the society was to mect ab s ch times as the dif- ferent kinds of fruit begin to ripen, bringing them for exhibition and dis- cusssing their morits. Tt was decided that by comprising a small Titory than that of the state society more meetings could be leld during the season. An annual meoting is to be held each January. Other meetings are subject to the call of a board of trustees. By theirauthority the pres- ident, J. H. Masters, called a meeting in August, 1881, at Lincoln, Quitea good number were present from differ- ent parts of the state, who brought fruits for exhibition, some to be named and others to have the relative merits of the ditterent varieties tested. The president stated that the Amer- ican Pomological society had appoint- od him chairman of a committee which he was to select, for the pur- ]mne of revising the list of fruits pub- ished by that soctety, as hest adapted to cultivation in Nebraaka. He stated that he would appoint those present as that committee, who immediately took up the list of fruits, giving them such a standard as more recent experiments had demon- strated, or leaving them as per list, The fruits that were best adapted to Nebraska soil and most worthy of cul- tivation were designated by * *, Thoso less faye 't worthy of cultivation, w od by * Those recomn trial were designated by given * *; Ben Davis, Buffington’s Early, Red June, Cooper, Coope Sarly, White Domine, Duchess, Fa Grimes’ Golden, Sweet June, Je an, Res- wick Codling, - Low 11, Maiden’s Biush, Rawls, Jennet, Red Astrichan, Roman Stem, Smith’s Cider, White Winter, Pearmain, Williams’ Favorite and Wing Those given * were Bail Buckingham, Shenango, awberry, Cole's Quince, Dyer, Evening Party, Fall Pippin, Gilpin Jersey Sweet, Mi. lan, Mann Apple, Northern Spy, Non- pareil, Otoe Red Streaks, Peck’s Pleasant, Perry Russett, Porter, Pri- mate, Rambo, Rome Beauty, Shock- ley, Sops of Wine, Summer Queen, Swan, Tallman Sweet and Wagner, Those given f were Calvert, Early Joe, Sauver and Ortley.

In cherries—Belle de Maynefeke, Rinehortense, Knglish Morello, **, Early Richmond, May Duke and Belle de Choisy, *, The Plumstone Murello and Don Morio were taken from the list, Some minor changes were made in the other fruits, Mr. Barnard rec- ommended the Russian mulberry as worthy of cultivation, both for its fruit and timber, Mr. Sugart said he could endorse Mr. Barnard's recom- meudation, as he bad three varieties, viz: red, white and black, in bearing, and stated that the trees grew nearly as fast as a cottonwood. His trees were bearing fruit at four years of age. The president called the atten- tion of the committeo to an article which appeared in the Nebraska State Journal, treating on the catalpa spe- ciosa treo, in which the writer claimed it was not suitable to our climate or upland cuiture. Ho thought the ar- ticle capable of doing much harm, as it was misleadlng in the statements made. The variety speciosa is es- pecially adapted to upland culture, and from his experience and from what information he had obtained from others, he considered it a per- fectly hardy tree, and one of the most promising for timber in the west. do further “stated that the catalpa bignomoides was not hardy, and that many tree plantors had been imposed upon by this variety., All present had experimented with the tree more or loss, and heartily concurred in the remarks of the president. The soei- ety then adjourned, to meet subject to the call of the board of trustees. —— sweets, Gently Does It. gene Cross, Swan street, Baffalo, writes: “*1 have used g Hlossom for dyspepsia and indj ), and have found itto act admirably as a gentle aperient and blood purifier, T consider it unequaled, Youare at liberty touse my name as a { Price 50 cents, trial bottles 10 septiead]w DYING BY INCHES, Very otten we sce a person suffor- ing from some form of kidney coms- plaint and is gadually dying by inches.
