Death ol L A. Bell.
' ' L A. Bell for nearly twenty
years a resident of this city and
' one of "the most widely known
and highly respectpd negro of
the entire state died at his home
on north Third street at 11. a. m
Wednesday after suffering for
many years from Bright disease
However he was full of energy
and no longer than two weeks
ago was at his office looking af tei
his business affairs
Deceased was at one time
wealthy but lately had lost heavi
ly through land and bank inve-
stments though he had plenty
left for his last days. He was
about 65 years of age and past
Grand Master of the Masonic
Lodge of Oklahoma besides
being promineut in other frate-
rnal orders.
L. A. Bell enjoyed the respect
and confidence not only of his
own people but of the white
people as well. He was intellig-
ent polite and attended indust-
riously to his own affairs.
The hour of the funeral has
not yet been set but will be at-
tended by yrominent colored
men from difference parts of
the State. Ex.
We publish this week a clip-
ping from the Wagoner paper
(A white Paper) that gives the
standing of the Late L. A. Bell
among the people win re he lived.
Mr Bell was one of the be:t
known Colored men in the Stite
and stood in the front ranks as
a leader of his peodle.
He was honest upright and
true and stood ready at all times
to help those in distress. The
people of Wagoner County and
especially the City of Wagoner
owe him a debt of Gratitude
because but for his effective
work thecounty sitewou'd have
been removed from Wagoner to
Cowata. At the mQst critical
period Mr Bell took a hand and
brought the black men who
lived between the rivets in line
for Wagoner and saved the uay.
A 8 a 'race leader and as a good
citizen he will be missed all over
the State.

Thete is a considerable temp-
est on she school situation in
Muskogee a few nights ago at
a meeting held in the Y. M. C A
Hall resolutions were passed in-
dorsing the teachers and the
teachers and the board of educa
ion. As we go to press another
meeting is being held and just
what the out come will be is
problematic.
We hope that each citizen
who attends the meeting wil
conceed to his opponent honesty
of purpose and the right to liia
own openion. The entire com-
munity desire a efficient worker
and on that pjint at least we all
agiee and we also desiie the
very best of talent and that the
services tendered be amply paid
for because we know that you
canno. have the best talent at
the poorest pi ice.
Personalities should not pre
vail in any of the meetings but
the interest of the olnUiien it it
is necessary to call a bp.ule a
apade then We must hew to the
line and let chip fall wheie Lhey
tnayi We have some u few
good teachers in our schools
and we have soinu who are not
worth three whoops in the re
gions of Pluto. e beleive
that the boa id of education wil
do what is right but rJivy must
be informed as to the cuiulitioiib
because without such infoj.m
heir are completely in thedaik.
We are making no complaint a
goinist tl e old board because
they weie always prompt to ac
when charges were filed and as
no charges weie filed they are
not responsible for the lament
able conditions of our schools
and the recent up heaval of the
of the immoral condition but
on the contrary the paeons of
the schools are guilty of a very
great laxity. It is our duty to
barrel to chop oil the dead limbs
and to get the rotten apple out
of the barrel and to see that the
water is not muddied in order
that a culprit may escape.
