among local railroad men yesterday Is that
the trainmen of the Union Pacific who at
present make their homeo in Omaha have
lioeu notified to change their residence to
Council Bluffs ns soon as they could make
the necessary arrangements. The truth of
this report could not be ascertained , how
ever , as the officials on this side said they
had no Information , but admitted they had
heard that such orders bad been Issued.
For borne time It has been known that
the company has been endeavoring to se
cure several hundred acres lying south and
west of Its present yard and Is said to have
jirosured an option on the land. The land
In question is largely the property of N. P.
( Dodge and W. W. Wallace and tbo acquisi
tion by the Union Pacific of this largo tract
of pioperty Is believed to bo for the purpose
of Increasing Its trackage and yards.

SOUTHWEST IOWA TEACHERS
Annual Convention of the Association Gets
Under Headway.
WRONG TIME OF YEAR FOR THE MEETING
Too Hn r DlrcctliiK the
Ilnrnl YOIIIIK Idea to lie Ahlc
to Attend Convention * In
Very 1-nrnc Nnmbcri.
The attendance at this year's session of
the Southwestern Iowa Teachers' associa
tion , which opened here last evening , prom
ises to bo considerably smaller than had
been anticipated and below the average
of former meetings. This Is explained from
the fact that hitherto the annual meetings
have been held during the spring vacation
when teachers were free to attend , but
the present meeting , coming as It docs dur
ing the fall term , a large number of teachers
are unable to leave their scoots , at least
for more than ono day. In all about 100
teachers nrrlevd yesterday , although many
of them failed to register , but President
French says he has advices that many more
will reach hero this morning. Among the
prominent educators on tbo ground are :
Hon. R. C. Barrett , state superintendent
of public Instruction ; O. E. French , euper-
Intondcnt of schols at Creston and president
of tbo association ; President H. H. Scerley
of the State Normal school at Sioux Falls ;
A. B. Warner , superintendent of the city
school's of Glcnwood. Hon. Henry Sabln ,
ex-state superintendent , Is expected to ar
rive this morning , as Is Dr. Arnold Tomp-
klns of Champaign , III. , who Is on the pro
gram for an address tomorrow morning.
The vlaltlng teachers , on their arrival ,
were escorted to the hotels by cadets from
the High school , who also assisted In showIng -
Ing the visitors around during the after
noon to the different school buildings. The
schools principally visited were the Bloomer ,
Washington Avenue , Second Avenue , Mad
ison Avenue and High pcliool. This morn
ing the High school cadets will glvo an
exhibition drill on Wllrow avenue In front
of the Presbyterian church , In place of to
morrow morning , as previously arranged.
As a number of the visiting teachers have
expressed a wish to witness the foot ball
match Saturday afternoon at the Driving
park between the Council Bluffs nnd Red
Oak High schools the game will not be
celled until 3:30. :
General MeptliiR Innt Night.
The first general meeting of the associa
tion was held last night at the First Pres
byterian church , which had been very taste
fully decorated with flowers by the local
committee nnd teachers. The auditorium
was well filled and the proceedings opened
with an organ solo by Mrs. Clifford , followed
by Rev. W. S. Barnes , pastor of the church ,
delivering the Invocation.
To Judge Walter I. Smith of the district
bench was assigned the duly of extending
a welcome to the visiting teachers and of
ficers of the association , a duty which he
pe-rformed in his usual felicitous manner.
President Hughes of Tabor college responded
in an equally happy way , following which
Mrs. Sylvester sang and was compelled to
respond to an encore. Hon. Richard C. Bar
rett of Des Molncs , state superintendent of
instruction , then delivered the address of the
evening , taking as his subject "The Public
School the Hope of American Civilization. "
Unrrett'n Aildrenii.
Mr. Barrett said , In part :
What a trust Is that given to the Amer
ican public school , to take the great army
of unlettered black men and train them to
be useful members of our political and so
cial organizations and patriotic , loyal citi
zens of the country In which they live.
The magnitude of the work will bo most
eiglly comprehended when we reonll t'io
fact that the number of colored people on
thh continent exceeds the total number of
pupils enrolled In all schools , colleges and
universities In the United States by two and
three quarter millions.
In our own land there are 10,000,000 np
grocs. At Chicago recently Booker T.
Washington , In speaking of his race , said :
"In most of the elements of civilization
they are weak. Providence has placed them
here not without a purpose ; one object. In
my opinion , Is that the stronger race map
Imbibe a lesson from the negro In patience ,
forbearance and chlldllkeness , yet supreme
trust In the God of the Universe. The
world hopes for much from the now doctrine
of expansion. Millions of babes are now ly
ing nt our doors. Babes to whom the Amer
ican schools and the benefits of American
civilization must be carried. This nation of
ours , planted , as we believe- , under divine
direction , will not momentarily consent to
any backward steps. Along with modern In
ventions , trade and commerce must go the
great promoter of good , the American
teacher , the advance agent of civiliza
tion. "
If the American public school Is to be
the future hope of civilization among the
tenets advocated must be a stronger phys
ical manhood and womanhood. General de
bility now commands n largpurray than
was ever massed under a Napoleon , a Well
ington , a Sherman or a Grant. Take posl-
tlpn on any public thoroughfare nnd note
thp number of specimens of perfect physique.
How few there are. Carefully notice the
boys and girls In attendance upon the pub
lic s6hools , Too many of them have pli -
stem limbs , sunken chests , hollow cheek * .
pinched faces and stooped shoulders. How
few of them are blooming , shapely and
strong. The cigarette user faces the public
at every street comer. Children scarcely
beyond kindergarten are becpmlng ad
dicted to the habit. As men and women
engaged In shaping public education we need
bo alert.
Speaking on industrial education or man
ual training , of which he Is an earnest ad
vocate , Mr. Barrett said :
Such departments are found connected
with a few Iowa high schools. The trade
school signifies that system of training and
Instruction which develops skill and pl/cs a
thorough and practical knowledge of some
trade. Thn chief difference between the
manual training and the trade school Is
that In the former education Is Its chief
object , whereas In the latter , while much
general Information may bo and Is ac
quired , It Is secondary. If manual labor
were provided and classes taught In school
the prejudice against the labor of the hand ,
one of the evils of modern civilization , would
bo soon done away with. If I could have
my plan of education adopted every boy
and every girl would be taught to do some
thing thoroughly with the hand. Let there
be an education of the sense of touch as
well as of taste.

PHILADELPHIA , Nov. 3. A morning
paper prints the following ; The probability
of a war between England and Franco re
ceived freeh Impetus hero yesterday by the
action of England , which purchased a largo
amount of American coal for Immediate de
livery at Its West India naval stations. In
response to hurried cablegrams from Lon
don , ship brokers engaged in the West In
dia trade spent the greater part of yesterday
searching for tonnage suitable to transport
the coal from Philadelphia and Newport
Newe to points where It would be mocst con
venient for English war craft to fill their
bunkers. Sailing vessels of from 1,600 to 2,000
tons carrying capacity are particularly In
demaud. The first shipments are to be
sent to Kingston , to bo followed by vessels
for Bermuda , St. Lucia and Demarara , which
arc the principal ports In the West Indies
subject to Great Britain. It Is also proposed
to dlfichargo a part of the purchase at St.
Thomas , a Danish Island , for which hulks
will be used. It was reported yesterday that
two British war shlpa had been ordered here
to undergo slight repairs , which under
ordinary circumstances would have been
made at either Halifax or the Bermuda
Islands.

DES MOINnS , Nov. 3. ( Speclnl Tele-
gram. ) Four wives have appeared upon the
scene to claim the hand and affection of Dr.
Leo Goodman , alias Ur. Fitch , who waa ar
rested at the Instigation of Dora Schultj :
a few days ago on a charge of seduction.
One of them came from Missouri and has
four children. She catno today and posi
tively Identified him by photographs as her
husband , Dr. Leo Goodwin. Another halls
from a small town In Illinois and It Is
thought by the officials that the other two ,
ono from Nebraska and one from Dakota ,
will show up before long. Dr. Goodman Is
a portly gentleman , with the classical
side whiskers , turned slightly gray , and a
smooth shaven chin. He has that oily kind
of address that encourages the confidence of
the fairer sex. Ho Is now languishing In
Jail , awaiting the action of the grand Jury.
Ho Is likely to meet with another calamity
tomorrow , when It Is expected that his case
will be taken before the Board of State
Medical Examiners , now In session nt the
state house , to determine whether or not
he has procured the proper credentials to
practice medicine In this city under the laws
of Iowa , If he Is found guilty of disobedi
ence of the laws of the state the board will
take Immediate action In his case. Secre
tary of the Board Kennedy Is looking the
matter up today and will report the case
to the board at Its session In the morning.
The republican state central committee to
day secured from a reliable source a letter
from E. B. Clark of Omaha , the grand chief
of the Order of Railway Conductors. The
letter Is addressed to J. II. Howell of Eagle
Grove , who Is an opponent of Congressman
Henderson in the Third district , and Is In
answer to a letter written by Howell asking
for support In the coming elections. Mr.
Clark assures Mr. Howell tnat Mr. Hender
son has been a friend of the railway em
ployes and that they refuse to desert or to
oppose him. In view of the fact that the
cry of railroad corporations has been raised
against Henderson by his enemies , this let
ter demonstrating that he Is a friend of the
employes and that they refuse to desert or
to oppose him , will have a weighty Influ
ence.

Fidelity Savings bank of this city , and for
a long tlmo a member of the democratic
state central committee , has Issued an open
letter announcing his affiliation with the
republican party. Ills letter has created
quite a sensation among the local democrats.
In It Mr. Klrby says : "I deslro to an
nounce that In the future I shall act with
the republican party. In making this an
nouncement I wish to say that having al
ways prior to 1896 worked for the success of
the democratic party and Its national prin
ciples , most of which have been abandoned
by the so-called democratic party of the
present , until I see no hope of redeeming the
party , and since the principles of the re
publican party are now In almost perfect
accord with the principles which I have
always sustained and advocated , I deem It
my duty as a citizen , having the best wel
fare of my country at heart , to declare
\vhero I stand In relation to the vital ques
tions to be settled by the coming congress.
I am In favor or a broad foreign policy and
a currency equally as good In Cuba and
the Philippines , as in every state and terri
tory In the union a currency that all na

commodities. In making this announcement
I am actuated by the hope of Influencing
my fi lends to vote for principles which will
make our prosperity continuous. "

SIOUX CITY , Nov. 3. ( Special Telegram. )
A contract has Just been closed by the
Homo Telephone company of Sioux City
and the Independent Telephone company of
Dos Moines with Pierre , Waterbury and Mc-
Allster of Mason City , for the construction
of a metallic circuit line from Sioux City to
Dea Molnes. Preliminary work onthe line
will bo commenced early next ycck and It Is
to be completed and In operation by Septem
ber 1 , 1890. The line through the Den Molnes
exchange will give Sioux City connection
with the Independent lines to the cast and
southeast and with the Independent lines to
the southwest as far as Topeka , Kan. It will
also afford Dos Molnes and the south , nouth-
east and southwest Independent lines con

Op | > one IltMirKiinlziitlon of Guard.
SIOUX CITY. Nov. 3. ( Special. ) Thn
action of Adjutant General Byers In
commencing the work of the reorganization
of the Iowa National Guard on the old plan
Is not meeting with the approbation of local
members of the guard.
It la said by officers of Companies II and
L that not more than 5 per cent of the boys
who were mustered out In DCS Molnes will
re-enlist and none of the officers are anxious
to .repeat . the experience of the past few
months under the old regime. Most of the
soldiers would willingly go to the front at
any time If the same regulations would per
tain to the state militia as to the regulars ,
All of them are of the opinion that the mll-
Itla should be abandoned and If companies
are organized In Sioux City they should be
under the direct supervision of national au
thorities and subject only totho , orders of
the governor by consent of the president or
secretary of war.
Captain Harry Gooeh of Company H said
he knew that most of the men In his com
pany had had enough of It under the old
plan and that the only manner In which In
terest could be revived would be by the es
tablishment of a sort of a club with a treading
room and gymnasium attached. Such an ar
rangement would attract young men from
the best families In Sioux City and by enjoy
ing the privileges of this club they would , in
a measure , feel compensated for the time
spent with the mllltla company.
Lieutenant George Haley of Company L Is
of the same opinion as Captain Goocb , as
were also Sergeant Hamilton , Corporals Mc
Donald , Winnie Belden and others.
IIMVU'H Ilnlry ImliiNtry ,
DES MOINES. Nov. 3. ( Special. ) The
dairy business has grown during the last
year , notwithstanding the fact that last year
was such a phenomenal year. The number
of creameries and skim stations In Iowa
last year was 891 and this year It Is 947.
Though 120 new ones were started , sixty-six
were closed. Of the sixty-six that closed
seven were burned and others ceased doing
business for various reasons. Fewer cbeeso
factories are doing business now than a
year ago , when there were seventy-six.

now being prepared by his clerk , Mr

valuable document.
