he having been a great sufferer from

eral years.
In the death of Mr. Riste Webster
City loses one of its best known cit

ed the people of this community up
on the city council for nearly 25
years, and although he has been as

man can point to dishonest act or

Among his associates on the council,
Mr.. Riste will be especially missed.
His good sense and sound judgment
in municipal affairs have always in
spired the confidence of his fellows.
J. d. Riste was born in James,
vile, Ohio, April 20, 1S49. He was
united in marriage with Miss Mar

removed to Webster City in 1873
and have made their home here
since that time. The deceased is
survived by his wife, no children
having been born to them.

con given yesterday afternoon by
Mrs. J. L. Kamrar in the new club

The beautifully decorated house
and the long tables strewn with

board. The ideal weather and

Central Iowa to Again Have Con-

in Music.
in Music.

Encouraged by the success at.
tending the series of five concerts
last season, each by expensive and
artistic people; w. H. Cook will pre-
sent this season at armory opera
house, a series upon the organiza-
ton of which he has spent much
time and pains and which represents
an outlay Of money that would be
hazardous in the extreme, especial
" outside of a big city, except by
the subscription plan; and even
then 1t involves risk which few
would care to assume, as subscrib-
ers are prone to wait until the last
moment, while iron bound contracts
must be signed, or the talent relin-
quished. St
- The encouragement derived by
Mgr. Cook from last years patron
age is not, he informs us, based up
on what might be called a good
profit, but upon the evidence that a
managerial hobby has been vindi-
cated-viz., that most people do like
good music, whether they thought
they did or not. In other words,
people who were shy of the high
class things in music, discovered
that in the hands of actual artists,
It at once became OF interest to
them. The 1911-12 course of con-
certs will, be more expensive than
even last seasons series and with
out doubt more interesting.
The Riccallys come as rivals for
the approval Of the public Of the
famed Kneisel Quartet heard here
last season. The opportunity is
theifs to make us forget in part the
playing of the last named organiza-
ton. Frau Jansen-Wylie was the
artist at an important function at
Cologne, Germany, last season and

dorsed her in unequivocal terms as
