PLANNING A KINDERGARTEN
AT THE UNION MISSION

Those in charge of the Union Mis-
sion. the home for dependent and out
cast young. occupying the Silvis resi-
dence on Aiken street in South Rock
Island, are taking up movement to
secure the advantages of a kinder
garten in connection with the institu-
ton. While the mission is very well
fitted so far as it goes, and the st
children now being cared for there
are made comfortable in every way,
but it has become clear to those who
have studied the situation that it is
possible to make improvements in
their surroundings that will assist in
the mental and physical development
of the inmates and thus more thor
oughly accomplish the purpose for
which the institution is maintained.
The great problem is not so much
to keep the children in comfort. as
to keep their activities employed in
some direction profitable to both mind
and body. With the very young, such
as the mission has to care for largely.
the mind is best employed through the
physical being. The kindergarten was
devised to furnish motive and means
case under present conditions that the
children grow listless and Unborn ten
denotes toward wrong that are often
found are brought out rather than
suppressed.
The plan is to employ a trained
kindergarten teacher to take charge
of those who are too young to at
tend the public schools and to lay out
a play ground with such apparatus
as4is commonly used for such pur,
pose. The mission directors should
have the support of the public in their
endeavor to improve the facilities for
caring for the unfortunate young
whom they furnish home.

cording to the papers of that city. and

terday, frequently appearing at the
surface and exposing large part of

BOY STEALS TOOLS

Hand Dealers.
ARTICLES ARE VALUED AT SIS
Confesses the Theft-Pathetic Meet.
ing With Little Sister
at Station.

Louis Cohn, aged Il years. whose
penchant for stealing has gotten him
in trouble on numerous occasions. is
again locked up at the city jail.
He was arrested this morning by
Officer Dennis Mccarthy. The boy
confessed to the theft of stonecutter's
tools of the value of SIS from VI. Tor
pey, 213 Twentieth street, disposing
of them at local second hand estab-
lishments
Louis only recently was up for
stealing from +. b. McKown. the
Fourteenth street dealer Mr.. Me-
Kown was disposed to be lenient with
the boy, and on his promise to con-
duct himself properly in future the
charge was dismissed, Mr. MeKown
paying the costs.
Louis did not appear to be much
concerned over his plight. maintaining
an air cf GOODNESS and Indifference,
until he had visit from his. young
sister, Minnie, at the station this
morning. when he burst into tears.
She cried, too.
Parents Thought Him Good Boy.
Louie never told us that he had
been stealing" she told the sergeant.
I'VE had supposed that he was a good
boy now, because he said that he had
learned n good lesson when he was
arrested before. How long are you
going to keep locked up?" and Minnie
began to weep. So did Louis. She
gave her brother sympathetic
glance. He was Il picture of despair.
Then, holding her handkerchief to
her eyes to catch the tears, she hur-
ried away from the police to her
home on Seventeenth street to tell
her parents where she found Louis,
the officer informing her that the boy
would have to stand trial and that he
would probably be held under bond
to the grand jury.
She thought he might be let off with
fine, but when the grand jury was
mentioned she seemed to abandon
hope of securing her brothers re-
lease.

Chairman City Committee

| This warning is prompted by the re
ports that came to Chairman Cavan
augh this afternoon that Looney was
placing delegations of his own choos
ing in some of the wards. having the
tickets printed on paper of a color tC
correspond with those on which the
regular delegations appear. including
the name of the aldermanic candidate
chosen at the democratic caucus. But
the delegate names, at least the most
of them, are changed, LOoney substf
tuting men whom he can control for
those chosen by the caucuses.
Rock Island democrats are holding

party are urged to cast their ballots
in their respective wards and to see

both the republican and democratic
parties in the city and county of Rock
Island.
If democrats do their full duty and
only democrats are permitted to par
ticipate in the primaries, there can
be no doubt as to what the result will
be.
