has to look to the independent vote

get that help if Bryan persists, as he

was discussed to some extent in rail-

the article published by the Oska-

from the Marshalltown article. The
article stated that an effort was made
to see Mr.. Davis but that he was
closeted with Mr.. Sweeney at the
time the reporter called. This state
ment is also untrue. Mr.. Sweeney
was not in the city at the time the in
terview is supposed to have been
sought, nor at any time during the
day.
General Solicitor G.. w. Sewers
was also seen concerning the rumors
current about the city. He stated
that he knew nothing of the reported
resignation or of any repored dissat.

in position to know of any contem-
plated changes in the executive, and
operative force of the road, and his
denial of the rumors corroberates the

AMONG MINING CAMPS PENN COLLEGE WEEK.
Building Boom at White City--More
Men at Buxton.

The White Coal Company are max
ing arrangements for the erection of
fitty1n ne new houses in White City
this summer. White City is one Of
the neatest little coal camps in Iowa,
ami the miners are all white people,
and mostly from What Cheer. With
the addition of fifty-one new houses
The population will be nearly doubled
and White City will boom.
A couple of hundred colored miners
were imported to Buxton last week,
coming mostly from the Indian ma
ton. One hundred and twenty-five
arrived Monday, May %, and another
shipment later in the week. 1t is
said that the coal company has had
agents in the south Tor some time Sc
curing these colored people to sIab
into the coal fields Of Iowa. They
will help swell the population of Bux-
ton, now the largest coal camp in
Iowa.
The new Y. NJ. C. A. and opera
house building at Buxton is nearing
completion. 1t is large three-story
building, to be heated with steam and
lighted with electric lights. The first
floor is for the use of the Y M. c. A,
and the second floor for the opera
house. The third floor will be used
for lodge rooms. The building is
constructed entirely of wood, with
outside iron stairs.
A new school building is being fin,
ished at Buxton, which cost about
81 900, and by avote of the people it
was decided to build another school
building at cost of $1,000. This
amount will be raised by general tax
alton On all property in the township
Some of the farmers in that vicinity
are objecting strenuously to this last
proposition and may attempt to en-
join the levying Of the tax.

act location of this old and busy coal
town that has stood for years and was
known all over the country as one oi
the busiest coal camps in Iowa. Quite
number of people were disappointed
Monday morning on going to"Muchy'
to catch the Northwestern train fol-
Buxtohl The train was abandoned

people went to "Muchy" to catch the
