CONVERTING or CONGRESS.

Within few weeks the Ameri-

and amend those we already have.
The American people begin to
look to this Congress for some
good real hard work. There are
80 many live and urgent questions
that needs the immediate legisla-
ton and ought to receive their
attention at once, namely, Rail
Road Rate, Anti Pass Law, Re

BUXTON, IOWA.

The report has gone out that.
this mining camp Of Buxton is a
bad town and that mans life is.
in danger since; two or three peo-.
pie have been murdered. Even,
one of our dailies tried to make.
it appear that it was true. The.
fact is that the enemies to the
success Of this town want to hurt
it, perhaps because most Of its
citizens are colored people.
The truth is Buxton is Just as
good and just as law-abiding as.
any town of its size in Iowa, un-
der similar conditions. In the
firstplace it is a new town, only
about three years old; second
place, it is mining town and
you cannot always get the best
of citizens to move there,
Where there are 5000 to s, ZOO.
people rushed in without time to
organize build up town. It is
therefore but naturally that some
undesirable people move in.
LOOK at the numbering, killing
and sudden disappearance Of peo-
pie in other towns, then why
censure Buxton, when there has
only been three or four murders
killings since the town was or
ganized. Let each of these other
towns first take the mote out Of
their own eyes before speaking
about others.
Buxton has some of as good
and intelligent, honest and hon
orable American citizens that you
will find anywhere. We have
been there and seen for ourselves,
and the good people there regret
these murders and have caught
the guilty parties and are punish
ing them. Let us be fair and
give tnsm justice.
