STRICKEN DOWN.
Death of Mrs. Alice Basler in This
City Yesterday.

Mrs. Alice Basler, wife of W. H. Bas-
Ter of this city, was yesterday called by
death from the home that her presence
adorned as wife and mother, after an
illness of about ten weeks, leaving a
husband and a 10-year-old son, besides
other relatives and a wide circle Of
friends to mourn her loss. Mrs. Basler
was a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Law
renee Fisher of this city. Though born
in Ohio, she was reared and educated in
Sacramento A short time ago Mr..
Basler thought of going to the Alaska
gold fields, and Mrs. Basler-not realiZ-
ing that the renorseless Brights dis
ease had fastened upon her-urged him
to try his fortune there, but at the first
apparent symptoms of her illness he
abandoned the idea, and thus was with
her to the last. for which good fortune
he is very thankful.

denee and supremacy on the Pacific
Coast, and her acknowledged rank
among the commcnwealths Of an
'ocean-bound republic" California Is to
pass in review and within her own sun
ny borders, the first half-century Of her
marvellous social and industrial deyel-
opment From the civilization Of the
lasso" to the half-century jubilee Of her
coronation as State, measured by the
more tardy progress of the remoter
past, has been a thousand years of his
toric time.
To repeat such a history by its own
landmarks and object lessons will be
to set a pace for yet greater enter
prise and grander achievements. To
make the concluding and simultaneous
fairs of the nineteenth the booming be-
ginnings of the twentieth century will
be to seize and utilize opportunities only
rare as they are legitimate. and to
make them fruitful Of lasting results.
For undertakings so supremely grand
in conception and vast in future pos
sibilitieS two years are but days, and
red-letter days are centuries. To light
up the Signatures of her Semi-Centen-
L.al and group her diversified resources
under domes rounded in the depths Of
fair and Partisan Skies the people and
representative press Of the State are
up and dressed in the gray of the morn
ing.
Thanks to the good God. California
! Is a miracle of divine munificence. and
to exhibit her bounties of sun and soil
+! Is no empty pageant. There is in it no
theme for the sensational news-monger,
nor for the early liar who fiocks alone
to scoop the belated worm. But there
is bigger game, a higher purpose and
better interests to serve, There is the
inspiration of useful enterprise and a
golden circle of productive industries
for substantive exposition at home and
abroad. To the double exposition the
Old Empire County lends a jeweled
hand and the treasures Of her monu-
mental history.

ABOUT THE SAME.
No Change Reported in the Con-
ditiou of Lester Young.

Lester Young, whose skull was
crushed by fall in San Francisco on
Tuesday last, still hovers between life
and death. His condition yesterday
was not improved, and he has not been
able at any time since the accident to
recognize his sisters, who went from
here to see him.
He is at the French Hospital, where
he receives the best of attention, but
under the rules Of that institution rela-
tives and friends must give way to
the regular trained nurses, so there
was nothing his relatives could do for
him more than was being done. Yes
terday he had considerable fever, and
it does not seem possible that he can
recover. though while life exists there is
reason to hope for the best.

PROGRESSIVE FOLSOM.
How the Foothil1 Town Is Now
Marching Along.

The Folsom Telegraph" of Saturday
contained the following reference to
some of the important and growing in
dustries of that town:
Folsom and this particular section are
making most rapid strides forward in
the line of progress and prosperity
more rapidly than ever before, and II
there is a favored locality on the Pa
cific Coast to-day without any great
display to pretentiousness this is surely
the place.
With the immense plant of the Sac
ramento Electric Light and Power
Company. the American River Land
and Lumber Company, the large box
factory and the planning mill of Scott
& Van Arsdale, and several other con-
Germs Of lesser magnitude already To-
Gated here, with more IN contemplation,
to be consummated at an earlier date,
is it to be wondered that we make the
assertion?
Besides these enterprises there are To-
Gated within a few miles of this city
mining ventures which are largely on a
paying basis. and which give employ
ment to a large number of workmen-
two. the Blue Ravine and Zantgraf, be-
ing payers of the A l order.
In the enterprises already launched
there is a large amount of capital in
vested. the most of which comes from
outside sources, and there appears to be
a sufficiency of available capital. judg-
ing from the number of spectators
who are daily seeking an opening for
investment.
The vicinity of Folsom is well known
as a mining locality-the discovery by
Marshall being made not many miles
distant Prospecting is being extern
sively prosecuted here at the present
time, and the coming summer will most
undoubtedly witness an era of prosper
ity for this city that will be surprise
to many, and one that would be a well
come visitor anywhere.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, August %, 1885,
The annual exhibition of the Montgomery
County Agricultural Society, which will
commence here tomorrow, promises, from
present appearances, to be the largest and
best ever given under the auspices of the
society, and also one that will show to ad-
vantage the resources of Montgomery
as a farming, trucking, fruit growing
and stock raising county. The officers
of the society have been engaged in per-
fecting their arrangements for the exhibi-
tion and, judging from the way in which
the farmers, manufacturers and dealers in
agricultural supplies and all other interest
ed parties are responding. their labors will
meet with a hitting reward. The ladies of
the county also appear to be taking lively
interest in the matter. and the display of
homemade fabrics, fancy needlework,
plants and flowers will doubtless excel
that of any previous year. The large exhi-
btion hall and the several other buildings
erected last year have been put In first
class condition, and are ready for the eXhi-
