SEE WORK OF
KINDERGARTEN
Parents and Friends Attended Ex-
hibif in School No. |
Last Night.
PLANS FOR ITS CONTINUATION.

An exhibition of the work done by
the children of the kindergarten dur
ing the past year was held in the
kindergarten room in public school
No. l last night. Mayor Bollschweil-
er, several of the members of the
Board of Education, teachers and a
large number of the parents and chill
dren were present during the even
ing. The exhibition was from 1880
to 10 o'clock. Miss Wilkins, the kin
dergarten teacher, and her assistant.
Miss Wight, were present to show the
guests the different work that had
been done by the little ones. The
work consisted of transparency work,
forming of different things with
blocks, drawing, making different OBJ
jects by tearing paper, shell work and
paper flowers. The entire work re-
fleets great credit on the teachers in
charge. The average number of pup
lis during each month last year was
about thirty-five. 1t is expected that
the work will be taken up again next
year. The board spoke very favor
ably last night of continuing work as
soon as the next term begins.
The kindergarten will have to be
moved to some other quarters as the
present room will be taken up by the
eighth grade. 1t is the plan of the
teachers in charge of this work to
allow the exhibits to remain in the
room and any of the parents who
could not get to see them last night
can do so by calling any morning dur
ing school hours until school closes.

After considerable discussion at
the meeting of the Board of Health

cense held by A. Greenbaum for his
Division street place, was revoked,
and theo ccupants were given thirty
days TO seek other quarters which

sparsely settled.
George w. Jolly, who made the
original complaint; Frank Huda and
two other neighbors to the slaughter
house, were present and argued
against the renewing of the license
which, it is claimed, expired May 1.
Fogel & Mintz, who are supposed to
be in charge of the place at present,
had asked Commissioner Kreiel-
sheimer to renew the license until
September /. Commissioners Ellis
and Kreielsheimer argued in favor
of extending the license for a num-

claimed, the proprietors had violated
the Board of Health rules by keeping
an unsanitary place. Some of the

GET YEPSEN
OUT FRIDAY.
An Effort Being Made to Have
Bail Fixed Definitely by
That Time.
ONLY ONE CASE THUS FAR.

An effort is being made by Joseph
e. Stricken, attorney for George w.
Yepsen, who is in the county jail on
charge of forgery, to have def
mite amount fixed for bail by Friday
at which time it is hoped to have Yep
sen released. At present Yepsen is
being held during an investigation
to ascertain the amount of his defal-
cation. Bail was at first fixed at $10,-
600 and yesterday, when an effort
was made to furnish that amount, it
was raised the amount being given
as 100000, but this is not definite.
The reason for not accepting the $10,-
600 bail was that the judge had rea-
son to believe that Yepsen had taken
$1,000 in another transaction and
this was being investigated. If it
proved true, the $4,000 bail would
be insufficient, so that pending the in
vestigation no real definite bail can
be fixed.
Thus far the only charge against
Yepsen is the $4,000 forgery on
which he was arrested. All the other
deals that have come up have been
known to the building and loan asso-
citation and are all covered in the
original complaint.
Mr.. Stricken believes that all the
searches now being made will be
completed by Friday and that any
one having any new claim against
Yepsen will have it filed by that time.
The court will probably know the
exact nature OF Yepsens crime and, it
is expected, will be in position to
fix bail.
Mr.. Stricken hopes to find bonds
men and have his client out of Jail
by the end of the week. Vice Consul
y. p. Holm is interesting himself in
Yepsen's behalf.
Sheriff Church was here yesterday
and placed an execution for $500 for
potted plants. Yepsen's property
was levied upon.
An effort will be made to have the
two attachment cases in the local dis
trict court set aside ON the ground
