Webster City, Feb. 1O.-Miss Maude
Soule of this city received yesterday thru
the mail two diamond rings. 1t was her
birthday. These very identical rings
sent to her thus mysteriously were
stolen from her eighteen months ago.
No one knows who sent them. No one
knows who stole them. The post mark
read. The rings We're valued at about
$500. The intrinsic value however, was
little compared to the sentiment at
taching to them as gifts.
At the time they We're stolen Miss
Soule had taken them off and placed
them, together with another diamond
ring, gold watch and other jewelry in
her jewel case. 1t was about o'clock
in the afternoon. Upon going for them
the same evening about Z O'Clock two
of the rings were gone. The only known
persons in the house during the time
We're immediate members of the fam
lily. The affair at the time was kept
quiet in the hope that the diamonds
would be recovered. More than one
mystery surrounded the theft. The
ring which remained unmolested had in
ii a much larger and more perfect dia-
mond than either of those taken. The
gold watch and other jewelry remained
untouched. Detectives were put upon
the case. The pawn shops of Des
Moines, Minneapolis, ST. Paul and Chi
cago were watched closely. 1t was to
no purpose, however. The rings could
not be found. No more could the slight
est clew be traced either as to the thief
or to the manner of his entrance to the
house. The whole mystery eliminated
In much stranger one yesterday when
Miss Soule received these very same
rings by post. Wether or not this
strange re-appearance of the rings up
On her birthday was simply coinci-
dence or was actually by intention of
the sender can but be surmised. Miss
Soule, however. is so pleased over the
return of her jewels that is not likely

MRS. WOMAN WINS CASE.
Judge Kenyon Decides the Woman
Will case-PecuIiar Points In


Special to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, Feb. 10.-Judge w. S..
Kenyon, after two months considera-
ton. has filed his decision in the Yeo-
man will case. which was tried before
him at the January term of court. The
suit was over the application of Mrs.
Yeoman. the widow of the late Capt
j. A. o. Yeoman, to have her hus-
bands library made over to her as her
sole property. The written opinion
filed by Judge Kenyon Is that the con-
tention of Mrs Yeoman is correct and
that she could receive the full amount
accruing from the sale of the library.
Considerable interest was manifest
ed in the case on account of the prom
inence of the late Captain Woman,
who was a prominent local attorney,
and also because of the points of law
involved in the case. Judge Kenyon
based his decision on the following
grounds:
Section 400S of the code of Iowa
specifies that property can be claimed
as exempt from execution by a mar
ried man, who is the head of a family.
An attorneys library is included in
that section as property that may be
claimed as exempt. Property exempt
to the husband during his lifetime is
the sole property of the wife on
his decease and is exempt to her. Up
on the death of Captain Yeoman. the
executor of his estate sold the library
by agreement of parties to hold the
money realized therefrom until the
court decided whether it should be
paid to Mrs. Yeoman. or she should re-
ceive only one-third therefor as her
distributive share.
Captain Yeoman and his wife had
lived apart for many years, he visit
ing her on different occasions and
sending her remittances for her sup
port every month. The case is with
out precendent in the Iowa courts and
has been watched with great deal OF
interest.

onion does not stand alone IN this re-
respect. Any article of food that is
not thoroughly digested becomes
source of disease and discomfort,
whether 1t be fried onions or beef

The reason why any wholesome food

the stomach lacks some important ele-
Ynent of digestion. some stomachs lack
peptone, others are deficient in gastric
Juice. still others lack hydrochloric
