election the ordinance granting a frsn
chlss to tbe Council Bluffa. 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

until ths representatives of the eastern firm
which expects to float tbe bonds of the Ta
bor company reach here. The special elec

the latter par of February or th first
week In March
Attorney George B. Wright, local counsel
for the Tabor company, stated yesterday
that while ths resolution calling fbr a spe

for .folding it jtoiil thavesftvaj of Messrs. J
Clanger snd Greene, (he representatives of
the eastern bond oonpany, who, he ex

fail.
After tbe resolution calling for the sub
mission of the proposition to the people
has been adopted by the city council tbe
ordinance must tie published once a week
for four consecutive weeka In the koal
papers, so that by the time thia requirement
la fulfilled the election oould not be held
tintil the kast week In Febreary or the Bret

What opposition the ordinance win re
ceive when submitted to the people re
mains to be seen, but there Is bo doubt
but there Is oonslderahle objection to cer

The fact has Just leaked out that an
effort was mads to wreck "he St. Paul
passenger train on the Omaha road which
reaches this city at t:tt ia the morning.
Just after leaving Brandon the engineer
noticed something dark oa the track and
applied the air. The object proved to be
a tree. It was farther discovered that the
end of one of the rails had been looaened
from a fishplate, showing plainly that a
deliberate atlenrpt had been made to wreck
the train. 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.

ifYora a Staff Correspondent.)
tE8 MOINE8. 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.

The Wyoming men entered Into tbe sub

of men In tbe state, was deiJJedly against'
tbe repeal of the land laws tnd In favor
of ceding the public land to the stajes.
Those present were In favor of forest re
serves, but believed the reserves thould
be confined to timbered tracts and not in
clude, as in many instances has been done,

FT. LOriS. Jan, St. The Lculfianan Pur
chase exposition now stands ready and I
waiting for the full and general Installa
tion of fxtitbH. 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. Aoe
tjuste railroad facilities are ready, the
warehouses have all been erected uid all
the buildings are In such a state of con
Jletlon that Installation of xhiblts esn be
commenced Immediately. What the man--gement
now most ardently festres 1 the
prompt shipment of exhibits from the dif
ferent parts of the country, to- begin Im
mediately. 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. Already
foreign exhibits are en route upon the
water and foreign countries are concen
trating their endeavcrs to have their fx
hlblt shipments arrive early to secure
prompt handling at the World'a fair
