Tabor Bouth arn El w trie Railway company "will be In troduced at the meeting of tba city council tonight. The resolution, however., will not set forth the date on which tbe special election Is to be held, as this has not yet bean determined and probably will not t until ths representatives of the eastern firm which expects to float tbe bonds of the Ta bor company reach here. The special elec tion, however, it Is expected, will be held the latter par of February or th first week In March Attorney George B.

Railroad detectives are working oa the case and It Is believed an arrest will soon be made. . Every effort has been made to keep the matter a secret. Just why aa attempt should be made to wreck this train Is not known, aa valuable express matter is Invariably, transported by the day train. Leaves Cats Te steal Oau KIOUX FALLS, 8. D.. Jan.

Jan. S. Speeai. The republicans of Iowa may bold only erne state convention this year Instead of the two that are customary on presidential vears. This Is due to tbe fart that the prOFJW.l I Ur II1V ItOUll UatlVII .'4 I" i'. unanimous vote Is now very good. Only oae contest is In sight and It may not be in sight long. The republican state official of Iowa whose terms cf office expire with the year and all of whom are candidate for renomir.atlon are: Secretary of etste. W. B. Martin. Greenfield; treasurer. G. 8 GUbertson. Forest City; attorney general. C. W. Mullan. Waterloo; chief Justice su preme court, Horace E. Deemer. Red Oak; railroad commissioner, E. D. Brown. Shel don. Messrs. Martin. GUbertson and Mullan have had two full terms each and will be renominated for a third in each case. Prad Kretchner of Dubuque is said to be plan ning to come out as a candidate for treas urer, but this te understood to be largely for the purpose of scoring In the race two years hence to succeed GUbertson. At any rate. If the others are given third terms It will be impossible to beat Gilbertson. Judge Deemer had nearly a full term on the bench by appointment and now has had a full term completed, but no one In tbe state would think of opposing his reiieuu inatlon. for he la recognised as a power on the supreme bench. Cemmlss1oner Brown haa had but one term of three years and at present be Is facing cpposltion from N. 8. Ketchum of Marahalltown and from W. D. Blakemore of 'Bedford, but the extent to which this opposition will go is not yet ascertained. It Is regarded as possible that it win not fully materialise. Mr. Brown has been unfortunate in that he suffered the failure of the bank which he owned at Sheldon, but this left no stain upon him in any way and hie friends are all the more ready to rally te his sup port, because, they say. that he now really needs the position. Gettlwsr Rid ( Politic a, A movement Is before the people to get rid of a great deal of the politics of the state by having elections only every other year and the chief reason urged for this Is that there is too much political activity In Iowa now. In the same way It Is now being urged that In case all opposition te the renomination of tbe five men whose terms cf state office expire this year dle sppears soon then there shall be but one state convention of she republicans and tbe delegation to the national convention will be selected then and also the entire state ticket be nominated. This would save the necessity of donble caucuses and conven tions throughout the state this year. It is believed the state convention to name dele niM tn the national convention will be held some time In April or May of this year. II tnere IS lO oe no ngni oa me state ticket this would be none too early far tbe naming of the state ticket. Otherwise a second convention will be held fn Aagnst or September. Msveo of Coavewtloae. On the theory that there most of neces sity be two state conventions the presi dential year other cities of tbe state are considering what tbey can do ia the way of securing one of tbe conventions. JLs tbe first convention Is certain to be a big one and decidedly Interesting It Is be lieved the ermmittee will bring it to Des Moines, but the second, provided there is one, might go to Cedar Rapids. Marshall town. Council Bluffa. Sioux City or Ot tumwa. On the other hand, it is pointed out '-hat the only reason the last stats convention that .was taken from Des Moines was sent away was to get rid of the local Des Moines influence In behalf of Governor Cummins, but tbe scheme did not work. It might be tried again and the first convention be sent to Cedar Rap ids. It may be held before the close of the legislature and this would be added rea son for taking It to some other city than Dea Moines. Set able AauBlve-rssurr.

The point ha been reached where th management of the ex poriticm Is no longer occupied with the rapid advancement toward completion of the bulldir.irs. but Instead It now lays par ticular stress upon the Importunes of speedy shipment of exhibits, especially those assembled by domeetrc exhibitors. Officials of the exposition make the stste irent to tbe Associated Press that the one thing of paramount Importance to Insure tbe anticipated 'successful and auspicious opening s of the World's fair is the Im mediate commencement by domestic ex hibitors To ship their cars forward ;tit as rapidly as can be done, Owir.g to the unprecedented participa tion by h-th foreign and domestic exhibit ors, vast amounts of exhibits have been and now are In the course of arrange ment and the time for the opening of the exhibition Is rapidly" approaching, but ap parently the knowledge of the fact Is not causing tbe shipment of exhibits to be niFhed forward with tbe promptness and dlFnatch that la absolutely essential to in sure rapid delivery of the care to the World's fair sit, and to avoid possible con gestion In the handling of the cars after they have reached St. Lou la The World's fair management has de voted more than ordinary attention to preparation for the handling of cars and the arrangements are now completed.

Otherwise, If there he delay, conjsrstioa ji traffic handling after CL Louis is reached is almost an assured con dition. It Is estimated that from S,K0 to 8fV car of domestic exhibits alone wm reach St. Louis during tbe last of March and the forepart of April. As the World's fair opens on April W, It Is stated It wIU be difficult to handle this enormous Influx of freight traffic at the last moment.
