Ever since the convicts were
brought to Bolivar county to lay the
track of the Loop Line railroad
rumors have been thick of tie savage
brutality Of their treatment by the
Sergeant in charge and bis guards.
The grand jury has denounced the
treatment that has been accorded
these men and Gov. Lowry has been
wired asking a State investigation.
We presume the investigation will be
ordered. Bolivar county owes it to
her dignity, her sense Of justice and
humanity to see that the evidence is
furnis he'd that will give the law its
reasons for Furnishing those who have
brought this shame and disgrace on
us all by acts Of ferocity and unfeel-
ing cowardice in the treatment Of
these convicts Rosedale Democrat.

The race between Jack Bachelor
and the Rothschild colt was run on
Monday last, distance / of a mile
The colt won the race by 26 feet.
There seemed to be some dissatisfac-
ton about the race and another race
was made up to be run at 3 o'clock.
An immense crowd was present long
before the time and considerable
money was put up. Considerable
time was taken up before the horses
could get off. After getting an even
start they came through like a hnr-
rieane, the colt in the lead and won
the race by Is feet. For several
years Jack has been a great favorite,
but 'Boy" as the colt is called will
wear the horns in the future.
Several scrub races were run later

Boston School ELECTION.

most remarkable that has been held
in the country.
The management Of the public
schools in that city had come to be y
serious question between the Pro-
testants and Catholics. The Catho-
lie Clergy especially, as is well
known, favor parochial and oppose
public schools
Some months since il has been
discovered that the majority of the
school board was Catholics which
occasioned great excitement on the
part of Protestant population. After
this was allayed somewhat, promi-
nent Catholic priest made an attack
upon SwInton History, or text book
in the high schools, because of its
harsh criticism Of the Catholics dur
ing the Reformation, partlcu arly
regarding the sale of indulgencies
The Catholic school committee
took up the matter, and after repri-
manding the High School faculty,
replaced Swinton by a prot athoic
wUrK. ms brought the storm from
Faneuil Hall, which was jammed
with indignant citizens, who thun.
dered forth that Rome had the
schools and the liberties of Boston
by the throat. On the street men
heatedly debated the matter. The
archbishop reprimanded the priest,
and the school board made haste to
explain, but to no purpose. 1t was
war.
In Massachusetts women vote on
the school question and they pitched
in on Boston and decided that cleo
ton. $4,000 women registered and
of these it is estimated that 80, COO
voted in spite of bowling gale Of
wind and rain. The women who
voted were mostly Professionals, the
Catholic mob turning out. Boston
Is Democratic by 10000. There was
no politics in this election it is sale
but it so happened that the Republic

elected. The schools will be Pro
