The Warner sun. (Warner, Brown Co., Dakota [S.D.]) 1885-1???, 1888-02-10


The musical critic Of the Ehseaaa Tylbuas,
writing Of the Begun, the new opern writ
ten by Messrs. DeKoyen and Smith, two
Chicago gentlemen. says: In the ballads
the composer has done his best writing.
The m~odulations are unusually simple,
made to keys lying nearest to the principal
one. There are no examples Of those
brilliant transitions to distant keys which
ia the hands Of a slillful Iansician can be
utilized for the production Of powerful i'm.
pressions. The absence OF snch modnla-
tions and the similarity Of solae Of the mum
bers will account for d certain monotony iD
the work. In matters pertaining 70 the
construction Of varied musical FORMS and
their combination into scenes the composer
shows d lack Of technical knowledge. Very
little attempt appears TO have been made
70 carry out ideas or 70 secure consequent
development Of d thought. Bat for the de-
gree Of musical knowledge possessed and
within his limitations, be has done credita

let US unitedly cay to the fire eaters
of the South on the one side and
the chasn-diggers of the North on
the other:
"oh, meaner 1olks of narrower souls,
Heirs of ignoble Thought,
Stir not the camp -fire's haackened Goals,
Blood drenched by those who fought,
Lest out of heaven fire shall yet
Bear Gods own vengeance forth
On those who once again would set
Discord 'twixt South and North"
In the spring Of '62 two great
armies were enoam ped on either
side the Rappahannock river, one
uniformed in blue and one in gray.
AS twilight fell, the bands Of music
on the Union side began to play
the martial strain, "The Star
Spangled Banner" and "Rally
Round the Flag" and that must
cal challenge was taken up by
those on the other side, Who respon.
ded with the Bonnie Blue Flag"
and away Down South in Dixie"
After while it was borne in upon
the soul of a single soldier in one of
those bands of music to begin a
sweeter and more tender air, and
slowly as he played it they joined
with all the instruments on the
Union side until finally great and
mighty chorus swelled up and down
our army, "Home, Sweet Home"
When they had finished there was
no challenge over yonder, TOR every
Confederate band had taken up
that lovely air, so attuned to all
that is hottest and dearest, and one
chorus of the two great hosts went
up to God; and when they had
finished came from the boys in gray
challenge, "Three cheers for
Home" and as chey went resound-
ing through the skies from both
sides of the river, Something upon
the soldiers cheek washed off the
stains of powder"
Fellow soldiers in the f1ght for a
clear brain, | am proud to belong
to an army which makes kindred
of those who once stood in arms
against each other. Let us cherish
North Carolina's motto from Isaiah's
words Fear not, I am with thee
/ will bring thy seed from the east
and gather them from the west; |
will say to the north, qlus up, and
to the south, keep not back, bring my
sons from afar, and my daughters
from the ends of the EARTH" | am
glad Of these good times, and to
think we women are in them, equal
members Of the greatest party, as
we have been since the day of its
birth. ..

Word reached here to-day of the death of
Henry Wood Dodd, at Algona. Mr.. Dodd
suffered for months from tumor in the
throat. Henry Wood Dodd enlisted in bat
terry H. of this city, in October, 1861, and
served nearly two years with that company.
In the spring of 1868 he was appointed scout
at the headquarters of the army of the Po-
tomac. His was a life full of activity and in
terest. He recaptured the notorious Dick
Turney, the turnkey of Libby prison. At the
close of the war he went to the West with his
brother, Lieut.. Col. Dodd, of the regular
army, and for years served as an Indian
scout. He was a cousin of Maj. Dodd, of
this city, and was member of the famous
Dodd family. Ho lived four years in this
city, and was at the breaking out of the war a
clerk in the Toledo National Bank.-Bldde.
Henry Wood Dodd was born in Henry Co.,
son of Gen. Dodd, who resided at Damas-
Gus and owned what is now the Lutz farm.
Ever since the war he has been on the 'front.'
Ter most of the time, employed by the Gov
ernment as scout He was with the fam
Gus Hayden expedition to the southwest in
'66, and was chief scout under Custer in the
fight on the Wachita, against the Comanches
and Kiowas in 1867.

Very Beautiful.

In order to make a room comfortable and
pleasant, it is necessary to make it beautiful.
Cheerful and pleasant homes are the safe
guards known to good morals and society.
This fact once well established and practiced
will do we'll toward moulding the character,
habits and disposition of future generations.
The question with many is, what to DO or
what to get that they can afford which will
make this addition or improvement. We
would suggest that nice wall paper with cell
ing decorations to correspond, such as you
can get at all times at Saur & Balsley's Book
and Wall Paper depot at very low prices, will
do more for the amount of money it will
cost than anything else. Wall paper and
window shades are as much of necessity
for furnished room as carpets and furni-
iture and is much the least expensive. A
large invoice of entirely new patterns has
just been placed on sale at Saur & Balsey's
Drug and Book Store, and selections can now
be made which are sure to please and will be
entirely satisfactory.

Commencement Exercises.

Rink Opera House was filed to its fullest
capacity on Thursday evening of last week,
on the occasion of the 18th annual COM
mencement of the Napoleon High School.
The large audience was interspersed with
many visitors from the surrounding country
and neighboring towns, and we venture to
say that more intelligent and better be-
haved gathering never before assembled in Ma
poleon. The stage was beautifully decorated
with flowers, plants end evergreens, and pro-
vided with seats for the graduating class,
teachers, and board of education.
While the audience was gathering young
ladies collected from the friends such offer
ings of flowers, books, and other presents as
they had to bestow upon the graduates, and
arranged them on tables to one side and in
front of the stage. The collection was large,
and after the programme had been complet-
ed the graduates were presented with the Of
ferings belonging to each. This manner of
procedure was an innovation upon former
years, but still farther improvement in this
respect could be made by requiring offer
ings sent to the home of the graduate before
or after commencement.
The music of the occasion was furnished
by Messrs. Jackson and Yeager and Miss
Dollie Richards, and double quartette Sc
lected from the German singing society.
The selections rendered fully sustained the
high order of our musical talent.
The graduating class was composed of five
young ladies and three gentlemen-Miss
Carrie Bloomfield, Mary R. Haag, Rose A..
Hoskinson, Fannie Knupp and Lettie Mar
tin, and Frank M. Harrison, Wilbur B. Hart
man and julius W. Knipp.
The subjects of the essays and orations we
gave last week, and while we do not intend to
particularlze, suffice it to say that the young
ladies and gentlemen did handsomely, con-
Quoting themselves in manner which re-
fected credit upon the schools and teachers,
and ELECTED much praise for each individual
graduate. Their effusions bristled with pure
and beautiful thoughts, and their brevity
won the good will of all.
Superintendent Weaver and his able assis-
tants deserve and have the thanks of the
community for their untiring efforts in be-
half of the Napoleon Union Schools, in keep
ing them up to the high standard to which
they have attained.
Mr.. Reynolds, secretary of the board of
education, presented the class with their di-
plomas, prefacing the pleasant duty with a
few timely and appropriate remarks in his
usual happy style.

Napoleon Union Schools.

The following teachers of the Napoleon
Union Schools have been engaged for next
year: Supt. W. w. Weaver; Principal of
High School, J. F. Smith; Assistant princi-
pal, Miss Fanny Goldman. German depart
ment, Randolph Bansen. Grade teachers:
Alta ]. Suydam, Nettie Hildred, Alice G..
Hague, Hannah Peterson, Blanch Lemert,
Lena Miller, Jennie Fouke, Belle King, Mary
Barnes and Guy G. Dittenhaver.
There being nine teachers in the High
School building for the eight grades below
the High School, the board decided to con-
solidate two of the rooms and give to each
teacher, pupils in one grade only. This ne
csssitated the dropping of one teacher from
the rolls and the lot fell upon Miss Mary A..
Tanning, one of the most earnest and efficient
teachers in the building, but as her place
could be filled by one of the present corps of
teachers at saving of ninety dollars year
iu salary, Miss Tanning having held the
highest salaried position below the High
School, the board as an economic measure
selected her as the one to be dropped. Her
room containing the smallest number of pu-
pills of any room in the building also had
much todo in determining the matter. By this
change the board saves $3.50 year without
impairing the efficiency of the school. This
information was kindly furnished us by the
Secretary of the Board.
