GOVERNMENT SELLS TENDER
Steamer Dahlia Purchased by Northern
Michigan Transportation Go.

The steamer Dahlia, which for years
has been coming to lake ports, has
been sold by Uncle Sam to the North
ern Michigan Transportation Company
at Mackinac Island, and in the future
will operate in connection with the
company's feet. AS a government
vessel the steamer was employed as a
lighthouse tender, and supplied all of
the lighthouses on Lakes Michigan,
Huron and Superior, covering two dis
tricts. 1t is said that one of the rea-
sons for selling the Dahlia is that
Uncle Sam is contemplating a new
plan Of serving the lights, that of ship
ping the supplies by steamers of regu-
lar lake lines, and keeping the Sumac,
sister tender Of the Dahlia, to attend
to the buoy work and other duties that
may not be performed by vessels not
in the government service. The Dab
liza was built at Philadelphia thirty
five years ago at cost Of $4,000, and
at that time was one of the best
equipped lighthouse tenders in Ameri-
ca, having been especially planned for
the service of lights on the Great
Lakes. The boat was sold at auction
at Mackinac Island and brought
$1,000.

Option on Old Typewriter Plant

The officials Of the Racine Refrigera-
tor and Ice Machine Company have
taken seven days option on the plant
on Pleasant street, formerly occupied
by the Visible Typewriter Company
and now owned by the Badger Brass
Manufacturing Company and it is
thought very probable that the com
pany will decide to locate its business
in Kenosha. The officials Of the Ra-
cine concern have visited the plant and
it is said that it meets their require
ments in every way. The matter is
now being submitted to the stock
holders Of the company and the deci-
sion will be reached by the end of the
week. The company is good one and
it is the desire Of the business men of
the city that the plant be secured for
Kenosha.
The people of Racine will however
make a hard fight to keep the plant in
that city.

Suggestions by the Children as to
the Best Way to Make Them

Seventeen essays have been sub
mitted by the Honesdale Public
School children in response to a re-
quest of The Citizen, for suggestions
from them as to the best way to
make the grounds about the new
school building attractive. The
time allowed for the competition
having expired, the articles have
been submitted to competent critic.
and below are printed the two which
in his opinion are, on the whole, the
most meritorious. Among so many
efforts of such nearly equal merit,
1t was of course difficult to decide
which two were the best; but as the
committee was entirely ignorant of
the authorship of the articles, there
can be no question as to his impair
tiality. AS there are valuable sug-
gestions in each of the papers, how
ever, The Citizen has decided to
print them all, as space may permit,
and when all have been published,
the reading public will have an op-
portunity to Judge for themselves
as to their respective merits:

WILMINGTON, Del, April 10
A novel practice introduced in the
Silverbrook Methodist Episcopal
church to-day proved drawing
card to parents, and the assembly
room of the church was filled with
mothers and fathers. They listen
ed contentedly to the sermon of the
Rev. w. e. Greenfield, while a few
of the women of the congregation
wrestled with their children In an
other room far enough removed
from the auditorium that the SER
vices could not be interfered with
by the screaming of the children.
On Saturday the Rev. Greenfield
announced: Parents. bring your
children with you and leave them
in the kindergarten while you enjoy
the sermon" Many parents did SO.
and the kindergarten-room was we'll
filled. The women, who entertain
ed the children with blocks, charts,
and the older ones with Sunday
school lessons, were SO much pleas
ed that they decided to make the
practice a part of the services every
Sunday morning, and to take turns
listening to the sermons and taking
care Of the children.

CRIME WITHOUT A PARALLEL.
Mob Of 100 Masked Men Storms
Jail, Attacks Sheriff and
Drags Prisoners to
Execution.

Ada, Okla, April 20. "A lynching
this state took place when four white
men who were charged with the muir
der Of A. A. Bobbitt, a well to do
stockman and former United States
marshal, were taken from the county
Jail by a mob Of about a hundred
masked men and were put to death
practically at the threshold Of the jail.
The men who were lynched were j.
B. Miller, who was awaiting trial on
the charge of numbering the stockman,
and B. Burwell, Jesse West and Joe
Allen, his alleged accomplices.
A body of masked men approached
the JAN and demanded entrance from
Deputy Sheriff Bob Netcher. The Off
Ger refused to open the gates, and
without further ado the mob seized
the high board fence surrounding the
Jail and tore a large section away
bodily.
Sheriff Netcher and the other guards
Of the Jail attempted a resistance, but
one masked man struck the deputy
sheriff over the head with q revolver,
stunning him, and the other guards
were quickly overpowered. r
The mob then made its way to the
JAN and, taking the four men from
their cells, hustled them away from
the Jail to a barn less than a hundred
feet from the county building.
On their way they met County AttOr-
ney Robert Wimbish and stopped 9t
his request. Attorney Wimbish said:
''Men Of Ada, you are disgracing this
community in the eyes of the world
Let the law take its course. appeal
to you as an officer of the law to re-
turn to your homes"
The mob, without word, proceeded
on its way. The attorney attempted
again to talk to them. "This is no time
for speeches." said the leader, and the
march continued.
''If you're going to hang me do II
quick" said Miller.
"Tell us what you devils know about
Bobbitt's murder-' shouted the mol
leader.
West answered for the four, saying
"We don't know who you men are
and we don't care. For myself,
know If had sixshooter a few OF
you would bite the dust, but that's
talk as long as my shooting iron is II
Texas. You boys appear to have a jot
to do. Why don't you do it? We
won't tell anything"
"The ropesr' the leader broke in, ant
the four prisoners were carried to 9
beam and strung up in row.
Just before the rope was placed
about his neck Miller calmly removed
a diamond from his shirt front and re
quested that it be sent to his wife II
Fort Worth. From his necktie h,
drew out diamond scarfpin with tn,
request that 1t be given to Guard Nc
Carthy for his kindness to him. Al
soon as the men were dead the mol
disappeared.
County Attorney Wimbish declared
that he would investigate the lynch
ing, but asserted that there was NJ
evidence Of identity and that there
would be no prosecutions. The coro
ner's jury did not blame any one fol
the hanging.

The Best Way to Arrange the New
School House Grounds.
WALTER ROBINSt

WALTER ROBINSON.
In the way of decorating the new
school house grounds, we all have
our own thoughts about it. AS for
me, l would like to see concrete
walks from the street back to the
school building. Then, about in
the middle, have a round flower bed
with walks on each side of it. On
it's one side have a walk leading to
the front of the brick building. Then
have a flower bed on each side of
the side walk leading to the new
school building.
Most of us would like to see it
all a messy green lawn; and some
would want it so they could romp
on it. On each of the windows have
wooden boxes, with bark on, for
trailing flowers, like nasturtiums
and morning glory. l think most
all of us would like to see large
maple tree planted in front of it.
to keep out the sun from all the
rooms. But / guess we could get
along without it, until it is big
enough to answer that purpose.
Then to make it look prettier
yet, we would like to have it all
covered with ivy vines. for the brick
work alone would not look as pretty
as it would to have that on it.
Then we will, or ought to be, proud
of our new school building.

The Best Way to Arrange the New
School House Grounds.
r, WILLIAM MILLER.

R. WILLIAM MILLER.
l think that the grounds around
a school house should look nice be-
cause good part of a persons life
is spent in the public schools. and
around them.
There is not much need of having
things of amusement outside as
understand there is going to be a
gymnasium under the large part OF
the new building. The outside
should be a place more for playing
tag and other running games.
The walks would look well if
lily be kept clean.
The Fairgrounds and yard could
be of cracked stone Of small size;
about the size of twenty-five cent
piece. 1t is called trap rock.
Some one suggested that grass
be planted on the grounds. but l am
afraid it wouldn't grow good.
Some vines would look nice, il
there were enough; one little one
would be worse than not any. A
vine like that on T. B. Clark & Co.'S
glass cutting shop, at Seelyville, is
the best kind l have seen around
here.
A long, narrow flower bed along
the side of the building, with some
thing planted in it that wouldn't
stop growing when it got stepped on,
would look very pretty in the sum-
mer.
A fountain was thought of by
some, and one would be pretty with
a flower bed around the basin. A
small one would be prettier than a
large one,-almost any kind would
