'I'Imkp ' l-- I'nllio,.
Thero Is nil Infinite pathos In tho life nnd
ideath of J. C. Knopfelt. Ho was married
In Chicago in tho later '60s, nnd at that time
was a musician In good Btnndlng with tho
profession. Everything looked prosperous
for him then. In tho courso of time a child
wns born to them, and tho rising young
composer was happy. Then camo thn Chi
cago lire. Knopfell's humble homo stood
dliectly In tho course of tho llnmes. Ho
rescued his wife nnd babo and was hurry
ing them to n place of safety when n great
brick wall under which they were passing
crumbled with tho heat, toppled and fell.
When, threo weeks later, Knopfelt re
gained consciousness he found himself In a
hospital, and tho nurso told him ho had
undergone a spell of brain fever. On every
hldo were cots, each laden with a victim of
the grcnt coullngratlon. Ho novcr bbw nor
heiird of his wife nnd babe, and conjecture
hns it that they wcro numbered with tho
hundreds of unidentified dead.
With returning health ho disposed of his
household effects and bought a lot In Roho
Hill cemetery, which ho dedlcnted to his
dead wife and child.
Hut Knopfolt was never tho same nfter
that. To begullo his spells of remorse ho
began drinking, thereby acquiring a habit
which during his declining years ho lacked
tho spirit to combat.
OrKimlxt In llppolipr's Cliiircli
Hecause of tho beauty of Knopfclt's touch
nnd tho marvelous power of his musical
conceptions ho was glvon a position as or
ganlsl In l'lymouth church at Brooklyn and
for nlno years tho fashion nnd wealth of
ithat city reveled In his symphonies. Moved
'by tho exqulslto execution of tho organist,
Henry Ward Ueecher, then pastor of tho
church, would often congratulate him, and
during tho last few years of tho groat dl
vino's life n cordial friendship sprang up
between them.
Just what brought Knopfelt to Omaha
jis not known. Perhaps tho fact
that ho drank leaked out
In Ilrooklyn nnd shocked tho pious parlsh-
nncrs of Plymouth's congregation. However
that may be, ho left tho City of Churches
and came west. For a tlmo ho was con
nected with Kounlzo Memorial church In
tho rapacity of organist, and then was sup
planted by a moro temperate, If less
talented rhnlr master. After that ho eked
out 11 precarious livelihood by giving music
lessons. This, with such Income ns ho was
nblo to reallzo from royalties on his musical
compositions, cnnblcd him to keep up ap
pearances. but llttlo more.
Knopfelt vas very llttlo appreciated In
Omaha, but among his meager effects at
the oornncr"H olllco nro eertlllcutes of
royalty on Homo conceptions of exalted
sentiment, with 11 wealth of tender splrltu
nitty which vouchsafes to them a tenure
of llfo greater than tlint of their unhappy
nuthor. It may bo that they will redeem
his memory from nny odium which may
liavo attached to it. It may be thut, like
that other composer:
Hoven pities claimed htm dead
Through which tho living Homer besged
His nrenti.

PRETTY GIRL CAUSES FEUD
ItnllniiN In Oinnlin Hphuiiip Wnr Cur
ried from Aprons (lie
(leenn.
pretty llttlo romance enmo to light
yesterday In tho case of Dan Cemo, the
Italian fruit vendor, who Is being held nt
tho pollco station on tho charge of stab
bing hla countryman, Jundo Nuntz, with
n stiletto. Neither can spenK Engllsu.
Yostcrday nn interpreter called upon Cemo
nnd succeeded in drawing from him tho
story of which the stabbing affair wns tho
sequel.
In sunny Italy two years ngo both men
belonged to the snme secret society anil
shared their counsels with 1111 nrdont young
Itnllnn named Tonl ltocho. Tonl was In
love, as all true Itnllans ,nre, nnd his
blnck-cyod Innmorlta returned his affection,
Hut her father did not smile upon Tonl
suit, lie took the girl away to 11 distant
city, hoping she would forget her lover.
A few days Inter Tonl received 11 letter
from her. It wns couched In cold, hard
tencs so unlike Omnia ns ho had
known her yet thero wus no mlstnklng the
handwriting. So in n fit of desperation
Tonl shot himself.
Tho lodge officiated at Tonl's funeral.
Scarcely had the flowers withered upon
his grave when another letter came. It
was addressed to Tonl, Tho lodge np
pointed a commltteo to read and act upon
It, and It chanced that .Cemo nnd Nuntz
served upon that committee. Tho letter,
which wns from Qemmn, was full of tender,
endearing terms. It hoped ho wouldn't feel
hard toward her for what she hud written
boforo, as her father had been stnudlng over
her ns she wrote, dictating. Soon sho
would find n way of running nway from
him nnd would return to Tonl.
Cemo nnd Nuntz took the missive out and
laid It on tho grnvo of Tonl, and while
doing so each made up his mind to pay
court to the damsel. Each essayed It later
nnd each wns rejected. Knch, then, look
ing for n cause, accused his rival of com
passing his defeat, and matters were In
this condition when the men left Italy for
America. They have mqt several times
slnco their arrival in Omaha and havo
quarreled. Now, howover, Cemo claims to
bo penitent nnd has promised to let tho
feud go no further.

lint About Twenty Per Cent of
Unroll nitwit linn Never
llpen Vaccinated.
Thirty-two hundred children In tho
Orrnhn public schools must cither baro their
arms to tho vaccine point or discontinue
their school attendance. 1
For tho first tlmo In their history tho
Omaha publlo schools will rigidly enforce
rectlon 114 of tho Hoard of Education regu
lations, which is ns follows: "Principals
havo authority to require ccrtlllcates of
vaccination from nil pupils." In former
yenrs the rulo hns been enforced only In
certain districts where tho smallpox ex
isted, but Dr. Coffman, commissioner of
health, has Issued an order to Superintend
ent Penrso requesting him to prevent the
attendance in nny school of all children
who cannot produce evidence of u success
ful vaccination.
This ultlmntum was prompted by the out
break of smallpox In tho family of Chares
Wctmoro nt 271G Decatur street. Mr. Wet
more, his wlfu and ono dnughtcr havo the
disease. Until Tuckdny two children of tho
Wctmoro family attended hong school, and
Investigation shows that neither of these
children had been vacclnnted. The Wct
moro family has been quarantined nnd
every effort Is being mado by tho health
authorities to prevent the further spnnd
of tho disease, although It Is probable that
nn member of tho Wctmoro family will
escape It.
Oi-iler I, I'linldte.
Dr. Coff man's order to Superintendent
Penrso Is -written In such plain language
that Its Intent ennnot bo mlstnken. It
rends ns follows:
Carroll O. Penrxe, Superintendent of the
Omaha Schools: Yon nro Instructed to ;n-foj-ce
section lit of tho rules and regula
tions of tho Hoard of Education requiring
eertlllcutes of sjecessful vaccination from
nil children attending school unless evi
dence of ti plain scar from vneclnatlou Is
present. VICTOR II. COFFMAN,
Health Commissioner.
"I made my order so clear that It cannot
well bo misunderstood, but lest anyono
Bhould think that I do not mean what I say
I will ndd Hint I proposo to havo every
child vaccinated who attends tho public
schools. This ruling applies to all tho
schools In tho city nnd not nlono to tho
buildings which arc In Infected districts,"
snld Health Commissioner Coflman. "I con
sider that this Is necessary to protect tho
health of school children nnd tho health of
tho city."
Strict llnforceiiipnt l'mntlned.
"Dr. Cofftunn's. order will bo 'enforced.
All tho principals will bo Instructed to cx
cludo from school pupils who cannot fur
nish evidence of vaccination," Bald Super
intendent Pearse, when asked what tho
effect of tho order will be. "Slnco my con
nection with tho schools there has not been
n general enforcement of this rulo of the
board. In districts which were Infected
with smallpox we havo excluded children
who were not vaccinated nnd wo havo com
mended vaccination bo generally that n
large per cent of tho children have compiled
with tho rule.
"Of tho 16,000 children who attend tho
Echools dally I should Bay that not moro
than 20 per cent nro without vaccination
scars. It may bo that the percentage will
fall below that figure. At any rate, the
number of children who will bo nffected by
tho order Is comparatively small, perhaps
about 3,200, and I believe that most parents
will comply with tho requirements of tho
health commissioner nnd prevent the at-
tondnnce records of the schools from suffer
ing."

est nnd best productions of a vnst ran go of

with which every work Is delivered are
peculiar characteristics of Strauss hlniHelf.

"In proof of my statements that the

under which repaying Is done Is giving J
1110 cny 01 uuiaiin niucn trouble I maintain
Hint thero has not been a pleco of orlglunt

wishes of u majority of the property owners
who wero tuxeil to pay for tho Improve
ment." Bald City Attorney Connoll. "If all
o.ir repavlmr wero eutitistei. to tho council
nnd mayor and If petitions wero abolished
entirely the city would save thousands of
dollars In the next ten years.
"Tho bill which I have prepared Is a Just
and c(tiltuhlo measure. It protects tho city
nnd gives property owners tho power to
stop Improvements whero they do not de
slro thorn. Tho Intersection fund bonds
for a year nro limited to JIOOkm, so
It Is not possible for the council
to lay an unreasonable amount of paving.
"Under tho petition system alt tho burden
of proof Is on tho city and the slightest
defect In a petition will Invalidate tho tax
on an entire district, In case n man who
claims lo bo 11 property owner signs a potl
tlcn and It is later shown that ho did not
own tho property his nnnie may be struck
from tho petition nnd tho tax Invalidated.
"After seeing nil tho trickery which Is
ptnc.tlccd in connection with petitions for
special Improvements I ennnot understand
why fnlr-nilndcd citizens wilt support tho
petition system. I am told thnt tho bill
which W. S. Poppleton Is preparing will
contain a clause providing that persons who'
havo possession of n property for two yenra
shnll bo deemed owners when Improvements
