CoLUsA, GALA, May 17.-Another
chapter was revealed here to-day in one
Of the strangest stories in the criminal
annals Of California. At Yerka, George
Decker is in jail, charged with murder,
ard so strong is public sentiment
against him that II has been feared he
would be lynched. Decker, who has
been respected rancher aud who is
now married 10 his third wife, was ar
rested two weeks ago. II is charged
that twenty-four years ago in the wilds
Of Northern California be murdered his
first wife and her little babe. Follow
ing his arrest the bones Of a woman
and baby were dug up on his ranch.
This, with other evidence, seemed TO
Substantiate
THE CHARGES OF MURDER.
Then came stories of seeming good
proof, that Decker had murdered his
second wife by poisoning Ia order 20
gain her lands, aud that be had also
poisoned her son, her daughter and her
granddaughter all Of whom died sud
denly. 1t was when public opinion had
laid these six murders at his door that
lyuching was threatened. Secret pre-
parations were actively begun. Now
there Is good ground for the statement
that the crime for which he IS being de-
nounced by the people OF his county
the press Of the State, and for which be
Is now a prisoner, that sensational
crime OF twenty-Seven years ago, with
its dramatic aud leng delayed seQel,
WAS NEVER COMMITTED.
Margaret F. Decker, the woman, who
as mas been supposed and charged, was
deCOyed into the mountains by her hus-
band and murdered, is alive and well.
She is living near Willows, the wife Of
John Hamilton. To make the story
more duplicated, il is 70 be stated that
Nevada Decker, the babe, supposed 10
have been foully done 20 death wits4tS
mother, is also among the living and
now grown TO maturity, is a resident OF
COlusa county, being employed at pres
ent by Mrs. II. l.. Wilson. Granting
that the Identification of the some time
N. Decker a1d her child is complete
edBuga 20 satisfy the Siskou Judge that
no murder has been done, IL becomes of
interest 10 know whose bones were found
among
THE ROCKS OF KILDEEE RIDGE.
Either the people who testify to the
fact that John HamiltOn's wife and
Mrs Wilson's emplOye are Mrs. Decker
and child, are utterly mistaken, or
George Decker is a much wronged man,
and the victim Of circumStantial evil
denCe.

Republican managers have deter.
mined to take the field early In the
State fall campaign and late in the
county campaign. Differences among
the local party managers have. on
the surface at least, been patched up,
and on the basis of the arrangement
two conventions will he called. one
for some time in May TO nominate
delegates to the state convention,
and the second one between the 18th
and 30th of August to nominate can.
didates for county offices in Cook.
While these arrangements seem on
the face to be perfectly serene and
satisfactory, there Is no doubt what
ever that they have been arrived at
and perfected only after a severe
struggle between the leaders and
compromises on both sides. which
were forced and which will leave in
stead of harmony the seeds Of in.
ternal strife. jealousy. and disrup.
ton. All along the line County
Clerk Henry wulff appears to have
won out. lie demanded two conven.
lions. He. vas opposed by a most
powerful combination Of his own
party managers, who wanted but one.
The Republican Central Committee
has been called for Saturday, April
90, and 1t has been given out by these
same opponents of Mr.. Wulff that at
that meeting two conventions will be
provided for, and the sagacious and
popular County Clerk will be allowed
to have his own way In this regard.
On the other hand, II Is claimed
Mr. Wulfr has pledged himself to
allow the opposing combine to run
things In the second county convcn-
ton and to nominate their own slate
without interference on his part.
Mr. wulff doubtless will have
by that time secured the nom.
intion fer State Treasurer, and
will be In a position to keep or
violate this pledge, just as he himself
may see III. How he will act in the
matter remains to re seen. Mean.
while his actions from now on will be
jealousy watched by the men who
are determined to run the affairs Of
the party In Cook County. As things
look now. the local Republican or.
ganization will not be In u position
to do business on the basis of a "love
feast" In the Forthcoming campaign.

That there is a great future before

est doubt There is a splendid field
for useful political activity open

itself of Its opportunities for the ben.
eft Of the Democratic party. The
club will bring into active particlpa.
ton the very best men In the district
covered by its membership, which Is
confined to the South Side. The
roll Of its charter members contains
the names Of large number Of Chi.
Cages most distinguished citizens.
men whose names are high up In the
estimation Of the public generally.
To bring into vigorous participation
in the party affairs such men means
to add strength and stamina to Its
campaigns. This paper wishes there
were more clubs Gas there, no doubt,
will beg like the Jetrcrsopian Club in
Chicago and elsewhere throughout
the country.

HOME economics Is q science yet
none too scientifically followed. We
eat, we live, but we might do both
with fur more pleasure and profit II
more were generally known about
cooking. Boston, where much Is
known that she Is too superior to
brag about, Is now holding an ex.
hibiti0n OF household economics. A
feature Of the exhibition will be q
practical demonstration, as given ut
the Worlds Fair last summer. Of
cooking by electricity, the plant con.
sisting OF oven, chatting dish, coffee
pot, tea kettle, broiler, saucepan, and
hot plate. At this exhibition Edward
Atkinson's Aladdin oven-the oven
OF the lamp-will be further exploit
ed as an instrument that the cook of
tomorrow will not be able TO do
without. Hail to the day OF art and
thrift In the kitchen, and dyspepsia
vainly beating for readmission ut the
dining.ro0m window.

RUSSIA Is said to have the strong.
est Of all laws yet devised to regulate
the sale Of bogus butter. In that
country the stun must be colored In
some bright color other than yellow,
In packages Of the same color. 1t
cannot be sold In shops where genu.
inc butter Is sold, and every bogus
butter shop must carry q signbOartl
Informing the public Of the fact. At
all public places where food Is pre-.
pared with bogus butter public an.
nouncement OF the fact must be made
on the bill Of fare. Are these cOndi.
tions hard9 Why? Those who use
and sell butter are perfectly willing
to advertise the fact. Why should
the oleo men object to like publicity
unless they want to make the people
think this stuff Is butter?
