MAY IDENTIFY ROBBERS.
a Cake Of SOAP The cIew to Safe BLOW.


ers.
Special to Times-Republican
Fort Dodge, Sept. 27.-Thru an inno-
cent cake of soap the safe crackers who
recently got away with large sum Of
money from st. Joe, Ia, may ultimately
be brought to justice. The soap was
sold to the jobbers by Sam Dowd, Of the
firm of Dowd & Scally, grocers, and the
morning after was found, together with
some dynamite, in the sack bearing the
name Of the grocery firm. Mr.. Dowd,
when approached concerning the finding
of the sack, recalled having sold man
a bar of soap on the day preceding the
robbery. He recalled the sale on Sac-
count OF the man wanting single bar,
which is somewhat unusual for a per-
son to call for just one bar of Diamond
C soap. He was able to give the police
a partial description of the man which
may be OF some assistance. He is! of the
opinion that the person who made the
purchase could be identified by him il
secured by the police who are working
on the case. The work on the safe at
both st. Joe and Hardy bear the marks
of having been done by the same per-
sons. at least the same methods were
employed in their destruction.

TIE AUDITOR Divorced.
Frank F. Merriam Given a Legal
Separation From His Faith
full Wife.
Decree Granted on Technically
Ground Of Desertion..Aereed
to Separate.
Wife Gets Custody Of Child and
Alimony Of $50 Per
Month.

Des Moines, Sept. 27.-Auditor of State
Frank F. Merriam is now single man.
Judge Holmes yesterday granted him
decree of divorce in his now celebrated
case against his wife.
The divorce was granted on the
grounds of desertion. Mrs. Merriam was
represented in court by her attorney, j.
b. Johnston. There was no opposition
on her part to the granting of the de-
cree. In fact it was the intention that a
divorce should be granted at the time of
the filing of the petition in August and
all the terms had been agreed to, in
Guiding decree of divorce. This decree
was signed by the court yesterday just
as 1t was prepared for presentation, ex-
cept that the words August, where they
appeared, were scratched out and the
words September substituted and the
dates filled in.
The general supposition was that Mrs.
Merriam would bring the action, but she
is understood not to believe in a divorce
and she would not commence the action.
Finally separation was agreed upon
so that decree could be obtained by
Plaintiff on the grounds of desertion.
This separation was not absolute. Mr..
and Mrs. Merriam continued to live in
the same house, but in separate apart
ments. This, at law when continued for
period of two years, is construed as
desertion.
While Merriam secures the decree of
divorce, the balance of the decree is alb
solutely against him. BY its terms Mrs.
Merriam is given all the household fur
niture and personal effects in their
home; is granted the custody Of their
child, Frank Howard Merriam, and re-
ceives 500 cash alimony. In addition to
this it is provided that Merriam shall
pay her for her support $50 on the first
day of each month and that she shall
pay s25 month in addition to be used
for the support and education OF the
child until he is IS years old. There are
no reservations in the decree giving
Merriam the right to see the child. Mer-
RAM is also required to pay the costs of
the suit.

Special to Times-Republican.
Webster City, Sept 27.-Word was re-
ceived in this city today that the Illinois
Central Railroad Company has ordered
a new passenger station erected at this
point. Superintendent of Construction
G. A. Smith. of the Omaha division, re-
ccived word from the Central officials to
begin work at once, grading the grounds
and laying the necessary side tracks.
The old structure now doing duty as
both freight and passenger depots has
been in constant use since first the Gem
trail came thru Webster City in 1871. The
new building will fill a want of long
standing. 1t is probable that the COM
pany's decision to build was stimulated
somewhat by the refusal OF certain busi-
ness men to patronize 1t further until
were Forthcoming.
