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 trial of F. D. 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.- _

Tcrchcrs' association will open a three days'
secslon In this city tomorrow. It will bo
the largest convention of the year , having
mure delegates than a state convention of
one of the great political parti s. It Is cx-
pecleil nt 'oast 1,1500 teachers will nttcml.
Some matters of general Interest will be
actcil on. One of these ret rs to the classi
fication of the colleges of the state , anil
arothor to the classification of the High
schrols , which Is expected to develop a stren
uous contest on the part of some of the
weaker schools which It Is proposed to deny
recognition.
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. These various sections and depart
ments will be In session at the same time
In various pirts of the city , and the fachtrs
will have an opportunity to attend such
