The bill has been carefully wrought out. A similar but more complete bill was Introduced In the house by Repre sentative English of Valley Junction, who has embodied some features not found in any law on the statute books. The primary election law will be strongly pushed In both houses and la likely to Cause much debate, as there is a great deal of opposition to the san.e and' the democrats will treat It as a partisan measure and fight It. Senator Garst Introduced the bill to es tablish a reformatory for men and to lo cate the same at Anamosa, practically con verting the penitentiary there Into a re formatory and leaving the establishment at Ft.V Madison as the only state peniten tiary.

IN QUANDARY OVER RATES Local Bailrcad Offioiili Fniled Ortr Division of Through Grain Tariffs, CANNOT TELL WHO STANDS REDUCTION Question Arises mm to Whether tnlnn Pacific Will Allow Grnln In Transit Inlonded In Omnhn. The local officials of lines running east from Omaha appear to be in the dark con cerning the division of the through grain rates to be mada in conjunction with the Union Pacific under its new tariff from Nebraska points. The new tariff quotes through rates about 2 cents per hundred less from Nebraska points to the Mississippi river and Chicago than the tariff formerly In force. The re duction In tho rates was caused by the action of the Northwestern In reducing through rates from points on Its line In Nebraska to the cant. Freight officials of the Union Pacific re fuse to state whether that line Is standing the 2-cent reduction or whether It Is being assumed by lines east of the river. While the new tariff Is In the hands of the local officials of all eastern lines which are par ties to It, there Is nothing to show whether they stand the reduction or not. No ship ments have been made by a majority of the lines since the tariff has been In force and consequently the exact propor' tion wnicn the eastern lines are to re ceive Is unknown here. The tariff evl ilently was made up by eastern official of the various companies, who have failed to Instruct their local agents. Dispute) an to Rates. An official of one line which hauls grabi to the south states that It was getting Its regular proportional rate from Omaha to the river, but others state that It is not probable that such Is the case. If eastern llns are standing the reduction to the river It would only allow them 6 cents for the haul on corn, snd It is said this would be a losing business. There also seems to be a question a to whether the Union Pacific will allow shippers to unload the grain under this rate at Omaha, In transit. It Is raid, however, that some of the heavy shippers who own elevutors along the line of the Union Pacific, tnd who also own elevators at Council Bluffs, have been al lowed to transfer through grain shipments under the lower rates at their Council Bluffs houres. If such transfers are to become customary under the new through rates they would prove a benefit Instead of a hindrance to the upbuilding of the Omaha grain market, as It would bring the bulk of Nebraska grain this way on account of the lower rates east. Everyone connected with the grain mar ket is very reticent regarding the manner in which the new rates are working and it Is judged from this that probably some agreement has been reached whereby the through shipments may be unloaded In transit under the low rates, and It Is thought better to keep the matter from the public, so that competing points will not file a remonstrance. Will Cut Through Time. By a contract Just consummated between the San Pedro, Union Pacific, Southern Pa cific and other eastern lines the time of passenger service between the east and southern California points will be reduced about twenty-one hours. The new San Pedro road Is not yet open for business, but when It Is opened It will afford an al most direct line from Los Angeles to the east. The running time from Los Angeles to Salt Lake City will be forty-three hours and tho time from southern California to Omaha will be proportionately less. It la estimated that under the contract the Ban Pedro will be enabled to deliver two trains of passenger coaches daily to the Southern Pacific for the east. The con tracts already made are with the Southern Pacific, Union Pacific, Denver & Rio Grande and Missouri Pacific. The San Pedro Is generally termed the Clark road, but In reality belongs to E. H. Harrlman. Harry E. Moores. general agent of the passenger department of the Wabash, has Just returned from a trip to Sioux Falls, where he has been attending the state meeting of the South Dakota Editorial as sociation. Mr. Moores reports that the ed itors are very enthusiastic regarding the StLouls exposition.
