OUR SCHOOLS.

The co!orcd schools in Muskogee
were cut short two weeks. Why?
This Is the first time in the history of
our city that our children have not
gotten square deal. Some of the
lady patrons, mothers got out at the
last moment and tried to remedy the
evil but failed. They called on the
school board and other officials and
received courteous treatment but were
told nothing could be done. Finally
they called on the teachers and offered
to pay for one weeks service IL the
teachers would donate one weeks ser
vice, hut here again they were doomed
to failure, as only eight teachers would
agree to donate one week. The ma
jority were kind and courteous to the
committee that called upon them. but
one OF the teachers was real Insulting
und in a harrangue she forgot that as
servant of the people that the pat
rons are entitled to decent treatment
even at her hands. Insults and sneers
come with d poor grace from such
persons.

negro prisoner whose life was de-

night before last, but he has lost his
daughter, who died from the shock OF
seeing her father abused and maltreat-

Eley had succeeded in taking his pris-

precautions taken by the authorities
prevented any violence. The state
