IOWA STATE NEWS.
Worst storm of the Year.

Southwestern Iowa has been visited
by the worst storm of the year. In
several towns it amounted to tor
nado and it is known that there has
been a loss of life. The damage to
corn and unharvested small grains
has been very great. In some places
the rain which followed the storm
amounted almost to a cloudburst.
AT Rockwell City the rain fell in
binding sheets for an hour and the
whole country is under water. Crops
were beaten into the ground and are
total loss in many cases. At Oak
land there was deluge of water, ac-
companied by a heavy fall of hail,
which did much damage. At Whit
ing half a dozen buildings were
wrecked and severely injured Mrs.
r. w. Campbell and two members of
the family of William Barber. A
number of live stock were also killed.
Trees were blown down in all direc-
tions and crops were badly damaged.
AT Anthony, a town of 1000 inhab-
itants, 20 buildings were entirely de-
molished and loss of life occurred.

The Wagner Temple at
the Capital of Bavaria ~
Munich Is Offering Attraction to Bavreush
for Lovers of Music.

king, already made, being decorated
by subject
And that subject one risen from the
people, not of noble blood. Wilhelm
Richard Wagner, German operate
composer and poet, was born at Leip-
sic, 1918; his father was clerk in the
police service, his grandfather clerk
in the customs service. His father
died when he was six months old The
boy had little restraint, either at home
or at school, and grew up impulsive,
one given to extremes in everything.
"a living paradox; impatient, nervous,
irritable; noble and petty; never made
man more friends and more enemies.
He was worshipped and hated.''
He received his education at Dresden
and Leipsic; matriculated at the Uni
versity of Leipsic and studied music in
Leipsic. His early dream was to be a
poet. Music, until he came under the
influence of the music of Beethoven,
was a secondary consideration. For
years he struggled against poverty
and enemies, fought his way along,
not yet be measured. The following
statistics are of import: In the year
1887 GAL performances of Wagner's
operas We're given in A towns of Ger
many. In 1880 the number had swelled
to 967 The popularity of the Bay
reuth festivals is too well-known to
need description, and now we have
the Wagner theater at Munich.
Among his works are the operas of
"Rienzi," "The Flying Dutchman, -
"Tannhauser," 'Lohengrin, Der
Ring des Nieblungen" Gncluding Das
Rheingold, Die Walkkure, Siegfried,
Gotterdammerung); ''Tristran and
Isolde" ode Meistersinger Won Nurn-
berg" and "Parsifal.'
The following are some of the terms
that have been applied to Wagner:
The Murderer of Melody.
Fanatic of unmelodiousnesG.
The Marat of Music.
Charlatan.

THE NEW WAGNER THEATRE AT mun!o4.

writes thus of Ludwig snd Wagner:
Ills Oudwig) greatest pleasure was
to dress himself in the costumes of the
operas (Wagner's) On his lake at
Starnberg, 20 years later, he had a
boat like 'Lohengrin's,' drawn by me-
chanical swans. The man was crazy;
but his craze was the making of Wag-
ner.''
Wagner had both powerful friends
worked together to such purpose that
the plan for the opera house at Mu-
mich was abandoned; although Lud-
wig had given an order to distin-
guished architect to draw the plans
and construct a model for theater
such as Wagner had in mind. The
model of this model playhouse is on
at Munich.
When the Munich plan fell through
Wagner's friends rallied around him
and set to work to build, somewhere,
a house in which ''the creations of the
master should find the full apprecia-
ton of all true lovers of music
Bayreuth was decided upon, little
Bayarian town of no great attractive
ness. Bayreuth donated the ground,
and 100000 thalers were raised to build
the ideal theater On Wagner's birth
day, May %, 1872, Immediately after
the close of the Franco-Pru war,
was laid the corner stone of the Bay
reuth Festspielhaus.
On this occa sion, more than 1000
musicians and singers were present.
The artists, as well as Wagner himself,
were beginning to believe that he, in
a sense, represented the German ma
fion; although his enemies were never
more bitter than at this time To show
fhe opposite points of view held of
him then, il may be mentioned that
more than one looked upon him as a
1.aNfing maniac, while, on the other
hand, an offer of 100000 came to him
from Chicago if he would go to that
city and direct some of his works. He
did not g.. to America, but he accepted
$4,000 for a march to he performed at
the Centennial exhibition in Pl.iladeI-
phia.
In August, 1876, all the world focked
to the Bayreuth Festival; the emperor
and empress of Brazil and other
crowned heads Wagner came on the
stage at one of the performances and
said Germany at last was to have an
art; which was either not particularly
mos~st of him, or else a sample OF bis
sublime faith in his own genius. Dur
ing the festival, gold medal was pre-
sent.d to King Ludwig H., whose gen
crosby had made possible the Fest

And of his music, those that call

And of his music, those that call
names have said:
A moral delirium tremens.
Circus comedy
Wild chaos of tones.
A caricature of music.
Butchery in notes.
Those that acknowledged his sway
but looked upon him rather as comet
than fixed star. have not yet seen
their prophecies fulfilled. After the
death of Wagner, it was decided to
hold the Bayreuth festivals every two
years, instead of four, as previously;
but, in spite of the increased number
performances. to secure seat it has
been found necessary to purchase
tickets from four to six weeks in adj
vance.
TO visit the little town of Bayreuth
during the festival and to see the OPP
ras, costs one somewhere in the neigh
borhood of 500; not of much moment
to Millionaire, but of considerable to
the average music student.
The Munich theater was brought
into being after the press of that city
repeatedly dwelt on the enormous ad-
vantages of the Bayreuth playhouse.
In 1899, there was proposed the Greco
tion of new Wagner theater, accord
ing to the plans of the architect of
Ludwig II. A stock company was or
ganized, and Prinz Regent, Lutipold
of Bavaria, was asked TO become pa
iron fthe new theater. He consented,
and in the summer of 1901, IS years
after the death of the master, the
Wagner theater in Munich opened its
doors to music lovers. MAX OWEN

N A KE have SO long been accus-
@XSW toned to consider Bay
GSW reuth the Mecca for Wag-
.&XNzY ner pilgrims, it is a little
w w difficult to remember that
now Wagner deyotees neeo
not make the trip to the uninteresting,
hot little city of Bayreuth to attend
the great Wagnerian performances;
but, in remarkably beautiful theater
in Munich, so long famous as an art
center, they may be RECALLED with the
masters works.
In the autumn of the present year,
the Prinz Regent theater at Munich is
to present a series of Wagner operas.
This theater, in some respects the
most wonderfully constructed build
ing in the world, has been completed
but short time, being formally
opened August 20, 1901. 1t is situated
on the right bank of the river Isar,
on a considerable eminence at the head
of wide avenue. Munich, famous for
its palace, cathedral, museums and art
galleries, may take added pride in the
possession of the new Wagner theater.
The Prinz Regent theater is located
near the spot King Ludwig II. years
ago designed for a Wagner theater.
1t was in the days when Richard Wag-
ner had taken up his abode in Munich
with the intention of erecting a novel
opera house, with the aid of his royal
patron King Ludwig. This visionary
royal person thought most highly of
his neutrality-suspicious." show
cred the richest of gifts upon him, and
promised him the desire of his heart,
an opera house to be built as temple
sacred to the "new school of music.''
King Ludwig gave Wagner a fine resi-
dence and pension; it is estimated
that he bestowed upon the musician 1t
least 100000 forms.
The kings gifts to Wagner were q
scandal to the kings subjects, who
were getting weary of INDUCING the
million and one whims of their eccen-
trio ruler. Mr.. Natran Haskell Dole
