LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.THE BASLER MURDER.

Comments of a Seattle Paper on theCrime and Victim.

Si'.r : ;ne murder of G. A. Basler, inSeat!!, the newspapers of that place havehail a gr.»at dual of comment upon it. Thefirst dispatch received here in regard to themurder stated that a womin was mixed up inthe t.i.^-r. but this statement seems to havebeei: entirely unfounded. Basler kept alivery «lab'e in this city, and was wellknow:.. f;ere. At one time he was con-sidered wild,"' but he went to Seattle, set-tled down and became a sfeadv busines"ma::. The Seattle Lxlcpendetit, in com-ment-rig on the murder, says: " The kill-jngol Mr. Basler, the owner of the LakeUnioi iunary, appears plainly, from allthai 'us* been heard about it, to ba a brulalpremeditated murder. It was committedby a man who has lived only a short timeon this roast, and who seems to think,to judge from lim actions and threats pre-vious tt the deed, that a little shooting inthis fti- Northwestern couniry is per-misbible. It is to be hoped, for the safetyof our ctizens and for the better informa-tion of, and as a warning to, the strangersin ou: midst, who may imagine that theyare outside of the pale of civilization, thatswift and sure retribution to the full extentof the law will followthe murder.

"Mr i'.asler has been a quiet, inoffensivecitiz-r. vho labored hard under the mostdifßcnll ::rcunistances to establish a whitebwm Iry to compete with the Chinese wash-hooi lie has been a useful member ofour community, and nobody who knewhim can help feeling shocked at his un-hmel end: Let justice revenge the crimeoom . : gainst him and the communitywithout delay, or we may expect othermv • - to follow this one."

The Columbus Kxhiblt.Tbe Sacramento fruit which was sent to

be distributed at the Exposition in Colum-bus. Ohio, created a sensation, and nodoubt made many a Buckeye wish he livedin th,:> glorious valley. E. K. Alsip, whohad charge of the exhibit, wrote to a friendin this city as follows : " The carload offruit arrived here in good shape, thoughsome oi it was spoiled. It was a sightworth going miles to witness, to see thepeople fight and scramble for the fruitwhen itwas given away. We have beengiving it away three days, and still havesotiu' left. I gave a fruit and wine banquetto the press. Aldermen of the city, etc., to-nigh'. The exhibit bas been the srrandestsuccess and best advertisement Californiaever bud.

ADMISSION OF CALIFORNIA.It Took Thirty-nine Days for the News to

Reach the Coast.A correspondent wrote a few days since

to the Becobd-Union asking the date whenthe news was received in San Francisco ofthe admission of .California as a State intothe Federal Union. The Alta Califoniia ofOctober 18. 1850 issued an extra about noanof that day, in which it said: "This morn-ing the steamer Oregon, Lieutenant Fatter-son commanding, announced her appear-ance in port by heavy cannoning. Shewas decorated with flags from stern tostem, and the moment she appeared in thebay it was known that California had beenaamitted a State into the Union. The citywas wild with excitement."

The following is an extract publishedfrom the Kew York Tribune, of September9, 1850:

"We are at last enabled to send the news,so long awaiting our fellow-citizens on tbePacific coast, California is admitted intothe American Confederacy, and to-dsvtakes rank as the thirty-lirst State of theUnion. The bill for her admission wasbrought up iv Ihe House Saturday,and after a short discussion passed,as it came from the Senate. Thefifty-seven votes against the billwere all from the ultra-Southein men.hers.The Representatives of California willprobably take their seats to-day. The newshas been received almost everywhere withmost unbounded satisfaction. At Wash-ington 100 minute guns were lired on Sat-urday evening, followed by a display offireworks. In this city many of the hotelsand public offices hoisted the national Hagin token ofrejoicing."

John 0. Fremont and William M. (J winwere sworn in the same day as Senatorsfrom California. I

The Crown Anemone.The crown or garden anemone, which is

much cultivated in climates where thewinters are less severe, is comparativelylittleknown in the gardens of the North-ern and Western States. The difficultyofraising these plants at the North is thesensitiveness of their tubers to frost. Ifthey are plauted in the fall aud are so pro-tected by means of leaves, evergreenboughs or litter that the ground does notfreeze, they willcome through all right inthe spring and bloom abundantly quiteearly, or soou after the frost leaves. Theplant is a native of the eastern shores ofthe Mediterranean, where the winters arenot severe.

It can be very successfully raised as awinter house plant if it is borne in mindthat it is a hardy plant in a climate which,though not severe, nevertheless has a win-ter of some frosts. The most to !>e fearedfor it iv the hands of most persons is thatit willbe kept too warm. It should betreated much the same as hyacinths andtulips in pots, only, perhaps, giving it alonger rest. Plant a tuber in good soil ina five-inch pot, iv autumn, water gently,and -tand it away in the cellar. Give at-tention occasionally, and do not let thesoil become quite dry. Leave itwhere thefrost cannot get at it, and during the win-ter it will be making roots. About thefirst of February it can be brought intothe window and given a cool place. Itwill_ soon begin to make stout growth, audin time willcome to perfection. Do notattempt to hurry by giving it a warmplace. As the season advances it shouldget and can stand a higher temperature,but it blooms early and passes away earlyin the spring. Those who have neverraised it as a window plant will derivemuch pleasure from a trialof it, plantinga number of the tubers in order to haveseveral of the many pleasing varieties.—

TheMicrobe of Dysentery.Chantemesse and Widal report the dis-

covery of a specific bacterium in dysentery(Pi-oiji'i's Medical, April 21,1888)." Work-ing in C'ornil's laboratory, they havestudied five cases of tropical dysentery,and have found the same microbe in thelesions and stools of a fatal case and in thestools of four others. Tlie bacteria werefound in colonies in and between the tubu-lar glands of tbe intestine, in the lymphglands and spleen. The organisms developrapidly at the ordinary temperature, thriv-ing on all tbe usual culture media. Theyare bacilli, with rounded ends, and some-what thicker in the middle than towardtbe extremities. They grow luxuriantlyin sterilized water from the Seine. Fed toguinea pigs, pure cultures produce intes-tinal inllammation and necrosis, the stom-ach itself being affected. The lesions aremore marked when the gastric contents arerendered alkaline. Intraperitoneal injec-tions cause death in two or three days withperitonitis, pleuritis and pericarditis. Theliver is aflected in these animals, necroseswith colonies of bacilli being found in theportal areas. All the lesions inthe experi-mental cases furnished pure cultures ofthe bacillus. From these facts, and tbeabsence of Ihe bacillus in the faces ofhealthy men, Chantemesse and Widal feeljustified in claiming specific properties forthis bacillus. In commenting on this•paper, the Medical News says that, althoughthe observations made are too few in num-ber to bring absolute proof, they are ofinterest as being the first in which somuch has been accomplished. Numerousother investigators have described micro-organisms in dysentery ; bnt none, up tothis time, have succeeded in cultivatingthem. Further developments will beawaited with interest.

Kisses.In the old days, when powder and

rouge were indispensable, a gallant gentle-man kissed tlie hand of his fair lady, andher hand was kept immaculate, that thiskiss might mean much to him. Nowadaysmen don't stoop to kiss your hand; itwould get their pants out of shape. So aclean face becomes a necessity to a womanwho has any liking for that expression ofaffection which is generally approved oftad seldom well done. Tlie only kissworth having, says a writer on the sub-ject, is tbat of a nice baby, and ifthe babydoesn't give it, it only submits to it, andkeeps its sweet, dainty, perfumy littlemouth shaped like an O, as it waits foryou to discover just bow delightful it is.

Men's kisses are like Scotch whisky—tliey are apt to lie smoky. Children'sDM :ire inclined to cover one's entireface, but a baby simply exists and lets youtake a mouthful of the breath of Araby..Men have an idea that their kisses are ap-preciated—they are most immensely mis-taken. The average man gives a kiss justas lie throws a baseball—with too muchforce, liought to be as delicate as a ro-c---leaf. Almost a memory in a second. Itneed not suggest a postage stamp nor aporous plaster. One lady says: "1 couldwrite a book on kissing, but mankind is sodetermined that I don't think he'd takeany advice on the subject, and yet, as it isthe women who receive the kisses, theycertainly ought to know more about themthan the great, big, stupid creations whogive them."— Troy Times.

DEATH'S HARVEST.Jud»e Leon D. Freer Succnmbs to the

Fell Destroyer.Judge Leon D. Freer, who has been lying

seriously ill in San Francisco since lastMay, died in that city Wednesday morningat 11 o'clock. The information, althoughnot entirely unexpected, was nevertheless ashock to the entire community, as tbe pub-lic had been led to believe that althoughhis illness was undoubtedly serious, yetthere were reasonable prospects of his ulti-mate recovery. The Sovereign Grand Lodgeof Odd Feliows, of which Judge Freer wasa consistent and exemplary member, isnow in session at Los Angeles, aud it isprobable that that body, in conjunctionwith the Grand Lodge of California, willtake charge of tberemainsami conduct theobsequies in an appropriate and imposingmanner.

ITudgeFreer received his education at a

lege in Benicia, where he made his marka youth of far more than averagelity. After a few years spent in otherrsuits, he turned his attention to ther, and was not long in being admitted asattorney, and soon after went to reside:h his parents in Oroville, where he be-ne a leading spitit in legal circles. Hist entrance into tbe political arena re-ted in his election to the Assembly fromtte county. When his term expfred he3 elected District Attorney for the sameinty, and four years ago" he was, by ay large popular vote, elected SuperiorIgeof the same county. He had yet> years of his term to serve in that office.was one of Ihe leading members of the

organization of Odd Fellows ou this coast,and repeatedly he was summoned by the

R's of the majority of the Grand Lodgehe State to represent it in the nationaly. Three months ago he was elected

to tbe Sovereign Grand Lodge, now in ses-sion in Los Angeles.

Judge Freer's name has of late years beenfrequently mentioned in connection withCongressional and Gubernatorial honorsand there is little doubt that, had his lifebeen spared, he would have been called bythe people to even higher places oi trustand honor than he had yet tilled. He wasvery popular among men of all shades ofpolitical opinion, aud always led his partywhen a candidate.

Judge Freer was one of the most modestand unassuming of men. He was, withal,a man of commanding presence and dig-nity, and would commandatteution amongan army ofcitizens anywhere. Among thefriends of bis youth he was still the genial,pleasant "Leon," when off the bench. Hewas a great admirer of field sporu, was an

Ishot and angler, and was lastd President of the State Sports-sociaiion. He was a man for

* years the greatest honors ofcitizenship stood in wailing.

A Warning.The modes of death's approach are va-

rious, and statistics show conclusively- thatmore persons die from diseases of thethroat and lungs thau any other. It isprobable tba, everyone, without exception,receives vast numbers of tubercle germsinto the system, end where these aonusfall upon suitable soil they start Into lifeand develop, at first slowly, ami is shownby a slight tickling sensntion in the throat,and if a'lowed to continue their ravaeesthey extend to the lungs, producing con-sumption, and to the head, causingcatarrh. Now ail this is dangerous, and ifallowed to proceed willin time cause death.At the onset you must act with prompt-ness; allowing a cold to go without atten-tion is l»ngerous, and may lose yon yourlife. Ao soon as yon feel that something iswrong with your throat, lungs or nostrils,obtain a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup,it will 6,-ive you immediate relief.
