I'm having trouble finding him in 1870. There is a 66 y/o John Sluka in Winneshiek Co. I first see Mathias Sluka in 1900, age 66 in Winneshiek Co. He had been in the US for 28 years if I am reading the numbers corretly. He seems to be listed as Mike Sluka age 76 in the same location in 1910. Could there have been another spelling of the last name in earlier years?
