After apparently being asl cp for pi nittitha , the Omaha llrldge and Tcrtnlna company a\voko yesterday morning and pu out a sign on Union avtntio calling for twcnt men. In less tlmo than It trek to put up th sign lOi ) men were on hand , and althoug the sign was pulled down , the stream o men anxious tir a few days' cmploymcn kept coming for some time. It son be came knonn that the Intention of the com pany was to lay about 4,300 feet of track o Union avenue , running from Hrovlway t the Union Pacific tranpfcr. More than a yea ago the company was granted a right ot vva along the full extent cf Union avenue , o condition that $75,000 should bo onent b July. 1S35 , In Improvement. Last summe wore away without pselng any track laid o any work done , pxc-ptlng the filling of th avenue , and then the representatives of th company came before the city council nm aakod that the time should be extcmhil untl January 1 , 1S36. In the meantime the city council hai thought of some other conditions that I wanted to Impose , and pt 3ed nnothc ordinance making the addition * . ) and extern' Ing the tlni" iw reiiiestcd. This ordlnanc vva never acci-ptei by the company. Aboi three months after Itn passage- the company' agents asked that they might be allowed t file their acceptance , chiming they had for golUn to d ) so within the time fixed b thi > ordlmnce. This request was icfuso the council holding that the law conferred n rinlit on them to change the ordinance I that fashion. Since then the ordinincc ha dropped cut of sight , and M has the ccm pany. The work was ccmnuncod yesterday morn Ing at the corner of Fourteenth street am Union avenue nnd laid both ways , with th Intention of meeting the transfer at th Fouth end and the Ninth street depot at th north. The laying of ties nnd the Inmnicr Ing of spikes went along merrily all da long , nnd It was not until well nlong In th afternoon that the city authorities awoke t the fact that something was going on The City Attorney Hayclton went to his ollic and drew up a petition for nvrlt of Injiino tlcn to restrain the work of track laying In It he alleged that the terminal peep ! wrra threatening to lay their tracks th entire length of Unlcn avniie. without an > authoilty of law , thereby making the stree uvulrss for public travel. Ho presented th petition to Judge Smith , who l&tucd a re straining ordT. Deputy Sheriff Hooker took the order am hunted for Superintendent Harris , but he vva In Omaha. Ho ace rdlngly served It o John J. Sullivan , the foreman cf the trac ! laying gang At the aune time the city attorney notified A S Potter at the com pany's office In Omaha that ho had begun the action. Mr. Potter agreed that n further work should be done. As a matte ot fact , the work was about completed al ready. When the order was served a gang of urn waa unloading a car of rails at th corner of Union and Fifth avenues. The worl had been finished between Fifth avenue am the transfer , and It would have been the work of only a faw hours to carry It on to nroadway. There are two theories upon which this sudden Jump Into activity Is explained b > the knowing ones. One Is that the Illinois Central Hallway company , which has Ion ; been looking toward Council Hluff * and Omaha , Is back of the scheme It Is re ported on cnnd nntbnrity that during the last few days thire. has been a transfer o ! a largo amount of real estate north o : nroadway. near the Northwesfrn depot , to the Terminal Hallway company , and It Ii sup- pnwd this Is to be UKM ! as n depot sit" by the Illinois Central. This company. It Is tald has recently Increased Its capitalization by Issuing stock to the amount of $10,000,000 which seems to Indicate th it some move Is Intended , and why not In the dlrfcctlon of from Fort Dodge to Council Uluffs ? The second theory Is bised upon the facl that In Januaiy a decision of the United States supreme court In the cas ? Involving the bridge contract between the Union Pa cific Hallway company on the one hind and the Chicago , Milwaukee St Paul on the other Is expected. Several years ago , during the Adams administration of the Union Pa cific , a contract was entered Into for a term of SI99 years , by which the Milwaukee anil Hock Island roads were granted the use of the Union Pacific brldga at this point. When the Goulds obtained control of the Union Pacific suit was begun In the supreme court to annul the contract The supposition Is that the Rock Island and Milwaukee people have had a "hunch" that the decision will bo against them , and are consiciuently on the lookout for some other way of getting across the river. The Hrldge and Terminal company has been endeavoring to induoa the roads to transfer their patronage from the Union Pacific , but so far has been unsuccessful A decision of the supreme court In favor of the Union Pacific would be pie for the Ter minal people , and a track connecting the Hock Island and Milwaukee tracks with the Terminal bridge would como In very handy The sudden stopping of the work by legal neasurca was a great surprise to tha com pany. As one of the mcji connected with It ti.ihl last evening , " \Vo hud not the slightest Idea but that wo wore doing precisely what the city wanted us to. If we had been tryIng - Ing to steal n march we should probably have ilono our work on Sunday , when wo could not hnvo been enjoined. The understanding we hud several months ago was that the coun cil were willing to have us proceed with the vvurk nnd were , In fact , anxious for uo to Iiush It as hard as possible. " The working people who thought they saw n chance to earn n dollar wcro probably more downcast over the sudden stop tlnn wera the company , for It , v\ai probably the first chance eoine of them had ln > l to work for wages for a good many mentis.

The constltii tlonal questions were asked by Dr Sarchet and Mr. Plerson was enrolled as a member of the Council HIiiffH presbytery. His Inten tion Is to go on with his evangelistic work during the winter and cpiing , and he wants to become the pastor of home church , prob ably In the cast , for the- summer The announcement that Dr. A.

Parker , the dlpclplo of "osteopathy , " was pulled off yesterday after noon In Jurtlce Vlen's court , and In view of some of the development * , the languag ? of the prize ring might be used \.cry aptly In describing the event. The little court room was crowded to the doors with Interested tipfctators , conspicuous among whom were a number of local physicians who pride themselves on their "regularity. " The prose cution wau Instituted nbout ten days ago by the Council Uluffs Medical society. Parker came hire tb ut ttito1 mon h ? rgj f om 1C rXs- vlllc. Mo , to practice "osteopathy , " or the sclcnc-s cf healing by a sort of massage sys tem devised by A. T. Still of Klrksvllle. Tlu medical tocUty held a meeting and decided that he had to go If It could make him. One of HID members drew up an Information charglni ; him with practicing mcJiclne with out a. permit from the State Hoard of Health , and hi. ? trial was set for yesterday. A Jury way drawn , consisting of C. A. Tlbbotts , C. S. Uubltanl , Thomas Pilling. Oeorge llaker. F.V. . Kost and Frank Compton. The first stormy scene of the afternoon came when nmmet Tlnley , attorney for the medical aoclcty. was making his opening stat-ment nt what he Intended to prove. He was telling the jury what the law provided with reference to the Issuance of prmlUi to physicians , when Tom PIllliiK , an old man who has galne-d some thing of a reputation for blng Irrepressible on occaslony , piped forth from the Jury box " \\'a.i It a crime for Jesus Christ to heal on the streets of Jerusalem without a per mit from the StateHoird ot Health ? " This sally brought a round of applause from Parker's sympathizers In the back of tha room. "That'll It , " roared Tlnley , with the angry blood rushing to his face , and making It rcirmblo a boiled lobster ; "bring on jour crowd of hooJlum.3 and let 'em cheer. If Jcsua Christ should come Into town todaj and set up a raloon on Ilroadway It would bo a crime. Just ns much as for any one lse. " Justice Vlcn rapped for order , which came when It got ready. John T Stewart was the first witness Introduced by the state Ho was anything but a willing witness , for ho was a patient of I'arker'ij. From the first word he uttered It was evident that a row wuild bo shortly forthcoming , unless more oil than Vlen's kerosene lamps contained should bo on hand to sooth the troubled waters Ho dsscrlbed Parker's method of treatment , but hated to go Into all the details. Tlnlej continually prodded him In a way that was most unaccustomed to the wealthy packer , and at l.rt got him ttir eJ. Suddenly Stewart went Into the subject mere deeply than Tln ley wanted , and the latter tried to stop him with a series ot "heres. " The last "here" was a loud growl , and Stewart was angry In a second. "Don't you rear at me , " shouted Stewart , Jumping out of bis seat and presenting a face livid with rage , within a few Inches of Tlnley's face ; "don't you roar at me , or I'll knock your head off , - you. " Justice Vl'n tried to be heard , but It was of no use for a few seconds. Court , wit ness , and attorneys were all talking at once Attorney Fllcklnger , who rcpiciented the defendant , thought that In view of Stewart's delicate heilth , he ought to be protecteJ from Tlnley's Insults , and Tlnley declared he had not meant to Insult the wltncsy. "No , and I'll see that jou don't , " In terrupted Charles Stewart , the stalwart son of the witness , swinging a large cane which he h = ld In his hand , within a few feet of Tlnley's face. "I am as large a man as you , " retorted Tlnley , edglilg up to him , "andmy muscleo defy yours. " There was a pause cf-scveral seconds , and then Stewart subsided' , tb the grat disgust of the sportively inclined audience , who were yearning for a scrap as was a scrap. When silence was restored tne couit informed young Mr. Stewart that would b lined for contempt If ho stuck In his oar again , nnd cautioned Tlnley against exciting Mr. , Stewart any further. The latter was also cautioned against making any more dem onstrations In court. There was no evidence that Parker had ever held himself out as a healer , or that he urad medicine or surgical Instruments. No evidence whatever was introduced on the part of the defcnss , and after being out three mlnutss the Jury returned a verdict of not guilty.- _ Several thousand original and artistic cal endars for 1S9G are being distributed by the Kvans Laundry company to their patrons.

Iowa Ins 2G.OOO tcichers and they nre all eligible to membership in the association , although of courre only a limit d number will attend the annual meeting. These state gatherings have grown to such largo pro portions that they are b'comlng unwieldy , although divided Into departments and sta tions. In order to roll vo HID strain on the state association , Stite Superintendent Siibln last year Inaugurated the plan of holding each year four educational ns ocla- tlons. Each was attended by nearly 1,000 teachers and yet the stat > meeting was last > ear Rtlll larger than c\er before. Pour meetings have been held again this yen with equal SHCC3S8 , and the state sup rlntcnl- ent Is of the opinion that these gatherings , Instead of relieving the state nsssclatlon , actually btlmtihtc tha teachers to attend , and It It a query In the mind of th > officers of the association what to do with the great number of teacheis who 'will attend this year. The association Is divided Into four departments : College and university , second ary , county superintendent' and elementary and grad d departments. These are divided Into sections , live In all , as followm Super intendents and principals penmanship and drawing , primary , Iowa library and school directors. There will also be conducted tvv'lve round tables under clllclent leader ship.
