Death Of W. A. Ruter.

The announcement of the death of
W. A. Ruter, following that of his
mother within just week, though sad,
is no surprise to those informed as to
his condition for the past few months.
The family and friends have been pre-
pared for the inevitable change, so far
as people can ever be prepared for the
loss of those dear to them, ever since
the breaking up of winter, when con-
sumption in it's advanced stages was
manifested. The deceased spent his
boyhood in Redwood Falls, and later
was clerk under Auditor Van Setback,
where he demonstrated such ability as
a penman and accountant, that his
subsequent advancement at St. Paul
to the Office of deputy county auditor
was easily accounted for. Unfortu-
nately, Mr.. Ruter's clerical labors were
pursued at the expense of his health,
and fastened if they did not primarily
bring on the dread disease which final
ly took him from his family. Mr..
Ruter was married about four years
ago to Miss Addie Miller, a sister of
Mrs. Jared Tiffany and a former pu
pill in our schools for several terms.
The widow and one child, daughter,
survive. The Ruter family is entitled
to adoub!e measure of sympathy from
the many friends here.

in the audience showing that in foreign
commerce silver and gold we're often
weighed out simply as bullion, and
that while silver dollar might be all
right in the United States, the stamp
of the mint made little difference in
foreign commerce. On the other hand,
gold dollar was intrinsically worth
its face value.
The discussion was chiefly valuable
that it set the audience to thinking,
and showed them how deep the prob
lens of national finance are.
The discussion was broken off at
quite late hour, after a motion had
been carried fixing upon the first Fri

the topic to be considered is, what is a
