The Old Plymouth Sax-Horn Band. (by hon, daniel mcdonald.) ' Members Of The. Band, Ladies And Gentlemen: . When asked' if I would sav something on this occasion in regard to the oldime Plymouth Band, the first impulse that came over me was to sayNo. However, on more mature reflection, I concluded to give briefly such recollections on the subject as come to me after a lapse of half a century and the intervening period. What I may say must necessarily be more or less personal, but I hope the references to myself, and my connection with that organization will not be considered ta'the way of egotism,' fori assure you. the musical part I played in those early days was and is not sufficiently, brilliant to inspire me with anything but the most delightful memories of bygone days. Among the first lessons I learned in my musical studies, and one that has been a guide to me in all the various phases of my .life, is the old Mormon proverb: He that bloweth not his own .horn, The same shall not be blowed." , The 'first, musical . organization in this place was called "The Plymouth Sax Horn Band," which came into existence in, the winter and spring of 1853. The members at the time of organization as hear as can be rememhered, were Willfam H. Salisbury, leader, -Mark Romero v,' Piatt McDonald, David Vinnedge; Buf us Brown, A. O: Capd; Thömas K. Houghton, Eugene B. Hutchinson, R. M. Brown and: myself. ' There might have been two or three others in the original organization, but if there were their names are not now recalled. Later on from time, to time.new members were admitted, until the band consisted of about sixteen pieces, among whom were A. C. Thompson, John McDonald C. II. Beeve. Mr. Beeve was not a permanent member, but met with the boys frequently and was useful in writing music and helping them in learning to play. There were possibly others bu t I do not call them to mind now. Old Joe Pierson" as he was famillarly called, who resided some place in Laporte county, was employed as teacher and band master. He bad but one eye, the other having in some way, been put out. He came at stated intervals by stage from Laporte to Plymouth, and generally remained two or three days. He was not a very brilliant or accomplished musician, but as a teacher, as the boys used to put it, 'be was onto bis job." In those days there was no.ptlnted band music as now, and the music for the different instruments was all written with a quill pen on blank music paper by "Old Joe." ne first selected the melody, and then composed the accompaniments and various parts to fit the several instruments. Among the pieces I remember were 'Wood up quickstep," "Old Dog Tray "Lilly Dale," "Old Kentucky Home," "Ben Bolt," "Old Uncle Ned," "Old Folks at Home," "Number 14," and many more that were popular in those days. There was no foolishness about "Old Joe." When the time came for practice every member was supposed to be on band ready to do his part. If he found a member particularly weak he would give him especial attention until he was able to master the difficulties. Then all the instruments would be started, and such music as was

... t

came the leader of the organization, the e-Jat cornet being assigned to me. I had now reached the height of my musical greatness, and for several yearsj or until about the1 time of the breaking out of the civil war, I had the honor of marching' at the bead of the procession. The band plavedin the merrorable presidential campaigns of 1856 add I860, and for most of the local entertainments and picnics, of which there were many in those days," nearly always without moneyj or anything else but thanks. - Of all who composed the original organization only Piatt McDonald now of Torreon, Mexico, and Judge A' C. Capron and myself of this city are living; all the others have passed over the mystic river to join the Innumerable' throng that have gone before. If time' would' permit I would like to speak of music and its influence on the world in general. It is to me the grandest and most sublime ' df the seven Liberal Arts and Sciences. It is the only thing earthly that we have any account of in heaven: Shakespeare put it hone too4 strongly when he said:' ' - ' T' , . " 'The man that hath not music in his soul, And la not moved with concord of tweet 1 sounds, ... .- Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils The motions of his spirit are dull as night, . And his affections dark as Erebus . Let no such man be trusted.' ' " ' ' "Again he makes a lover say to bis sweetheart. ' ; ' ' ; " ; " 'How sweet the moonlight ' Sleeps upon this bank,'. . Here we ait and let "" The sounds of mnsio creep In our ears. - Soft stillness touches and the night' ' Becomes hetquohe :veet harmony.1 Music is the only universal language in existence. , The confounding of the language at the Tower of Babel did not destroy toe language of music It speaks today the same . language to every inhabitant of the earth that it did whan the loud Timbrels sounded the grand chorus o'er Egypt's dark seas. The German who cannot understand a word of English will go into ecstacies over the playing of The Blue Danube;' or 'The Watch on' the Rhine;' and the Frenchman in a strange land will weep tears of joy on hearing 'The Marsaelles Hymn;' and our own American when among people whose language he cannot understand, will shout for joy when be hears played America, The Star Spangled Banner,' 'Hail Columbia' or 'Yabkee Doodle,' because they speak a language to him that be understands. . Life is a motion, .and motion is vi bration, is music. The gentle zephyrs that stir the leaves of the trees; the tornado that'felis the forests in its mad career, that roar of the ocean's waves as they dash against the rockbound coast; the cannonading' and rumble aridcrash of the thunder; the dashing of the rain drops on the roof; the continual hum of the great cities; all these in one IS the basis and foundation nf the music as; we have it in its present' form. . The universe Is a magnificent operahouse in which the combined music of the earth and air

is the grand anthem that is continually being heard by all the Inhabitants of the world. The standard key-note the tonic on which all instruments are keyed, Is derived from the basic sound of all this music of nature and of the spheres. In my time I have beard many worlds famous bands, such as the 'Washington Marine Band;' Sousa's great Chicago Band., 'Pat Gilmore's

Pcmo5jaUA AUyTavor ,tiw Prolonging . ' v Terms: - s; , The Democratic State organization may not acquiesce in the effort which Chairman Goodrich, of the Eepublican State committee, has begun to have the law prolonging the. terms of certain county officers held unconstitutional and the proposed test suit to determine the constitutionality of the measure may be fougbtout in earnest. Chairman O'Brien, of tb9 Democratic State committee, says he has referred the question of the constitutionality of the law to A. G. Smith, of this city, for. an opinion. Chairman O'Brien indicates that be is no'- at all satisfied with thj reasoning of Addison C. Harris, who recently gave to Chairman Goodrich an opinion holding the law , unconstitutional. He says be. will be governed entirely by Mr. Smith's opinion. ; z Mr. Smith says be has not yet bad time to give to the question, and will be too busy for. the next few days to take.up the, matter. He Intimated that without studying the question, be thought there might be another side to the case. v. Just why the democrats want the new law to stand is not known. The law affects many democratic officers in the southern part of State, however, and they are anxious that they shall riot lose the extra time ' which they have beencounting on. The republican managers say the law will deprive as 'many republicans is democrats of extra time.? " :-: ;!; V ' ' Chairman O'Brien says he is as anxious as any one to have the question settted but' that if the democrats should come to'' the ' conclusion that the'new law Is constitutional they would oppose any movement to have it overthrown. Chairman Goodrich and Secretary Sims discussed the question this morning without coming to a dec. ion. Chairman tioodrich is of the opiLion that the test suit should be brought either in Hendricks or Bandolph county soon. Both of these counties are preparing for early conventions. Nominations may be made and suit may then be brought to require the election officers to certify'their names on the ballots. This would raise the

issue. The democrats will do nothing

until Mr. Smith renders his opinion.

as is said to have "charms to soothe Ane Mexican Military liana, or lo

the savage beast; to rend the rock, or

split the krfotted oak."' But it was not long before the members became

quite proficient and were able to fol

low the score farely well. The leader

of the band was William II. Salisbury, who was an accomplished com et 1st,

who bad learned the mysteries of that instrument at Laporte before coming here. He was employed as book-keeper

fort the firm of Pomeroy, Houghton and Barber, the principal business firm

In Plymouth at that time. He was a

most pleasant, congenial gentleman,

and had many delightful memories

clustering around his life while a resident here. ' . . -

In the original organization I was

assigned to play the Trombone. "It was a sliding instrument about' six feet in length and was given to. me, I think, in accordance with theV eternal

fitness of things. I was about the

same . length, tall and slender, and when, I blew It my cheeks bulged out

as though they would , burst. I kefpt

at it however until I learned the in

tricacies of the ungainly thing so that in a short time I was able to carry my partafter a fashion. The band began to play for political meetings in the campaign of 1854,

and as we led the big processions at

the rallies, which were all the go in

those days, I would fairly make the political velkln ring with the crashing, cracking, unmelodious notes of that old trombone, and fancied, as we plodded along through the mud and cand that I v?a3 'the observed of all observers.

County Health Organizations. Public sentiment in Marshall

county, regarding the spread of contagious diseases, has passed beyond the period of a disposition 'to make light of them, and a willingness to have them for the sake of future immunltv, and now there is a universal desire toco-operate with the health officers to utterly suppress them. These health officers are first a county board of health, composed of the county commissioners, and the trustees of each township as accessory members of the county board, and any helper that their trustees may appoint to act as a sanitary committee for their respective townships. The secretary of the county board is not a member,1 but an executive officer appointed by the county commissioners.

Every Incorporated city and town In the county has a local board of health. For the city, this board consists of three appointees of the city council. For the towns, it consists of the trustees of the village, and a physician whom they appoint, as their execu

tive officer, and secretary of the local

board. These boards of city and towns, are the sole guardiens of the public health of their respective mu

nicipalities. All licensed physicians, are requir

ed by law, to report to the proper

health officer, every case of contagious

disease listed by the rules of the state

board of health, occurring in their

practice in twenty-four hours after it

is made known to them, and by a pro

vision In the rules of the state board, they are especially deputized to imme

diately quarantine and placard the house in the absence of the regular

health officer. At a meeting of the cotfnty board of health on Feb. 2, with the trustees of the different townships In attendance, a resolution was passed that

each trustee , should appoint as bis

sanitary committee, a reliable repre

sentative of each one of his school dis

tricts, consisting, either of the director, teacher of the school, or some

other Interested person, whose duty it should be to seek for Information, regarding any contagious disease that

might appear in his , district, and if he should tind any suspicious caset when no physician was in attendance,

to Immediately summon the township physician, to decide, report and quar

antine, if he so decided the case to be

contagious. :. ' . ' , '

This plan is not designed to makej

the duties of .the county health officer,

whose work it Is to direct and .supervise the whole, any the less, but to

make them more efficient. It secures two very, important features In sani

tary work, viz, reliability of Informa

tion and prompt quarantine. It also

secures local Interest in every school district against the spread of contagious diseases right at home and In every person's neighborhood.

A Nebraska Letter From an Old Hoosier . Boy. Red Willow county is in the southern tier, seventy miles east of Colorado. Winters here are mild, short

and dry. This winter the sun has

shone out every day, at least a part of the day. The ground has been bare and the roads dry and smooth all winter. I have farmed here twenty-four years; have commenced to sow wheat in January or February every year except two. Some wheat was sown here two years ago. I never saw soil work nicer than it does here now. I saw men setting posts yesterday for fence. Farmers have been busy all winter shelling corn and hauling off wheat. This county had over two million bushels of wheat last year. Corn is twerty-eight cents and wheat sixty-three cents. I have no land to sell but near me are two quarters of good land, partly improved, for $10 per acre, and one at $8, half cash the rest time. I was born and raised on a . farm in : Indiana. I first plowed

corn there in 1848. I never saw nicer

weather there in October than it, is. here now. , Roads are dry and fine. Uncle Billy Coleman. . , McCook, Neb.Feb.5, 1904.
