John Ruka Dead at BOscObel.

John Ruka, ST., the veteran BOs-
cobel manufacturer, died Wednes-
day afternoon, after an illness of
several years duration.
John Ruka came to Boscobel abo ut
1854 and started a little blacksmith
shop in that place. He had come
over from Germany the preceding
year, passing most of that time in
Pennsylvania His little business
grew and he had several partners,
finally inducing his brother Louis to
come in from the farm which he was
establishing and enter the business
with him.
By degrees their business expand
ed until reachins It's present preten-
tious proportions of manufacturing
and wholesale business on an eX-
tensive scale, their sons taking to
the business and succeeding the
fathers.

ago, and John had been an invalid
for about seven years, suffering
from paralysis. He was "A years of

News from Potosi.

There is in every human soul a
love of music. No other means can
appeal with equal force to the ryth-
mical response from the heart of
man as can the harmonious melody
of accorded sounds.
But music must be within the
range of appreciation of the listener,
else little sympathetic response will
be aroused. Classical music alone
appeals to the classically trained ear.
On the other hand, familiar tunes
rendered with artistic skill set the
heart-strings of all people to vibrat-
ting in sympathetic unison and
leaves lingering cadence of sweet
ness long drawn out. The old
soldier, who has made long and
weary marches under the sweltering
rays of a July sun in southern
cline, can attest the exhilarating
power of martial music. Let the
band strike up at the closing of such
a day, when one foot was placed be,
fore the other with seeming impos-
sibility and every movement was
characterized by careworn indif-
ference, both horse and man we're
rejuvenated, WEAKNESS dispelled and
precision to every attitude restored.
If you want to forget your cares for
a brief while and enjoy a delightful
evening, come to the City hall Tues
day evening, Nov. II, and hear that
grand company of musical artists
the Asetceams, whose motto is:
''True art is to conceal art" They
will render program brim full of
enjoyable selections. The mandolin,
banjo, saxophone, guitar and organ
chime pieces will constitute the in
struments. Mr.. Greenawalt will
give number of dramatic and pa
thetic readings in his characteristic
forcefulness Of gesture, facial
expression and voice modulations.
ALI in all this entertainment is pre-
dicted to be a hummer" Admis-
sion only thirty-five cents. We an
ticipate that you will return to your
homes full of satisfaction. When
the angel of sleep shall pour the dew
of balmy rest over your eyelids for
that night pleasant dreams will
surely course through your refresh
ing slumbers.
John J. Blaine of Boscobel ad-
dressed the order of Modern Wood
men of this town Saturday evening.
His speech was replete with facts of
vital interest to the order. He spoke
with characteristic force to a very
attentive camp.
The young peoples society of the
Congregational church gave supper
in the City hall Saturday evening.
A large number partook of the
toothsome refreshments, which were
admirably served by the young peo-
pie. About forty of the Woodmen
came to the supper after their meet
ing was over. The proceeds of the
evening were nearly $4,000.
Fire has been running through
the woods on the south side of Main
street for the past twenty-four hours.
No damage as yet has been reported.
