Once at General Conference.
HAD AN EVENTFUL LIFE

Yesterday, at the family home on VIII
liam street, death claimed the Reverend
Henry F. Koeneke. a venerable clergy
| man OF the German Methodist Episcopal
church, an organization in the foundation
of which his father was a prominent
factor. During the last hour he was sur
rounded by the sharer of his joys. sor-
rows and work for fifty years-his ven
cradle wife-and their three children. Mrs
William Kassel of Olathe. Miss Laverna
and Captain Henry ". Koeneke Of this
city. He had suffered for more than a
year. but bore his ills VITA that Chris
tan fortitude which characterized his
long and eventful life.
Rev. Mr.. Koeneke was born in Zeven,
Hanover, Germany, on October g. 1925.
making him almost Il years of age. When
Y years old he came 10 America and set
tied at Wheeling, West Virginia, where
he received his preparatory education for
the ministry. He was ordained in The
presence Of his father and began his long
and active ministerial career at Belle
vile. Illinois, where he organized a con-
gregation and built church. He was
like his father. a member of the society
which built the first German Methodist
church in the world. Few know that
the German Methodist organization orig
rated in America and extended from
this country to the Fatherland. That,
however, is the case, and the venerable
citizen whose body is now dead in this
city has lived in the church since its
founding or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES its incep-
ton, in fact. His ordination took place in
1S47.
Rev. Koeneke was twice presiding ell
der-in the ST. Louis district in 1852 and
in the Quincy district in 1853 He was ac-
lively engaged in religious work until
1888. when he was superanuated. He was
a delegate TO the general conference twice
and received many other honors in his
church
The deceased had six brothers and three
sisters but only three of them survive
him. one brother being a distinguished
divine and a minister at Central Wesley
an college at Warrentown, Missouri. This
gentleman will arrive in the city today
to attend the funeral.
Rev. Mr.. Koeneke was married fifty
years ago this month to Miss Catharine
A Mantz at Pittsheld. Illinois. They
have had nine children but only three
the above named-living. Together they
lived a life of piety and affection. both
being exceedingly gentle In their disposi-
ton and kindly in their relations with
all the world. Mr.. Koeneke was a man Of
ability, but above and beyond all he was
a man of great earnestness and sin
certify in his belief in the divine plan and
purpose as set down and written in the
Scriptures.
The funeral win take place Thursday at
2:SO p. m. from the German Methodist
church, at the corner of First and EN-
poria avenue. and the service will be
conducted by Rev H. S. Humfeld, the
pastor and other ministers. The ser
vices will be partly in English and partly
in German, and on account Of the charac-
ter Of the deceased and his connection
with the church. will be very interesting.

TWO REMARKABLE ARTISTS
Will BE In Wichita for One Concert
Thursday EYeninx

What seems incomprehensible TO me
is how we can get two such great artists
here at the same time" The speaker
was Professor Francis C. Wilson, teach
er of violin and repairer of violins and
stringed instruments. and he was speak
ing OF Bruno Steindel. the cello soloist,
and Madam Wunderle, harpist, who viii
appear here as the opening attraction
of the Wichita Lyceum course tomorrow
night at the Toler.
Professor Wilson has a studio and
workshop on the fifth floor of the Y. NJ.
c. A. building. on North Main street,
and is the man who owns one OF the
rarest old violins in this country. an
Italian instrument from the great maker
Bergonize. Professor Wilson is an en-
thusiast IN stringed instruments and the
great masters. The walls of his modest
little room are lined with their pictures
and he has several scrap books filed
with clippings and programs of great
artists that he has heard. He has posi-
bly, heard more great artists than any
one person in the west and naturally is
conversant and thoroughly in touch with
matters in this line. Professor Wilson
has had the pleasure of hearing Madam
Wunderle, the harpist at a recital IN
Cleveland, o., a number of years ago
and he says that as truly great artist
she is without an equal and he has had
the pleasure of listening to Bazina, Dori
and a number of other great artists.
Madam Wunderle is a phenomenal per
former, said Professor Wilson. She will
produce from the harp all the effects and
variety Of tone that can be ELECTED from
a grand piano in the hands or a great
performer.
The people do not know what they
are getting" said the professor, skim
ming rapidly over the pages Of one OF
his scrap books. Here are programs
anu press notices OF Camilla Urso. Divide
Musin. Rublik. Wlhelmj. Sarsste. all
recognized as great master violinists
Bruno Steindel ranks as great in his line
as a soloist as these men did in theirs.
The cello is the stringed instrument
that occupies the same place in an or
chestra that the trombone does In a
band. and the rellowness and sweetness
20 be drawn from this instrument in the
hands of a master can hardly be real
led Bruno steindel is surely master
an music-lovers appreciate his com
ing"
Professor Wilson added that the Sier-
ing quartet. which comes in the lyceum |
course on December Is. is one among the |
greatest in the country. If not in the |
world. and ranks with the celebrated /
Joachim stringod quartet Of Berlin

THROWN OUT ON TECHNICALLY.
Queer Franks of Justice M. Court of
Sed aNNick County


A case in the district court of Sedg-
wick county in which Henry Brinkmeier
was suing the Missouri Pacific railroad
for $4,000 damages was thrown out OF
cou3 yesterday by Judge Dale. A de-
murrer of the defendants was sustained
and the crowd In the court room was
umofounded when Judge Dale's decision
was given. The demurrer was sustained
on a decision of the supreme court OF
Kansas, which has held that when an
employee has knowledge Of a certain neg
ligence on the part Of the railroad COM
pany he cannot hold the railroad COM
pany responsible for an accident happen
ing to him through said negligence.
The case Of Brinkmeier is the result of
a loss Of a leg. Mr.. Brinkmeier, who
was a brakeman, working near Hutchin-
son. alleges that In coupling two cars to-
gether. the draw rods were loose, which
necessitated his using his foot to guide
them. 1t was in doing this that he had
his foot smashed and later had to have
it amputated.
From a standpoint of just every day
justice, it seems that Mr.. Brinkmeier
should receive some amount Of damages,
for, although he had knowledge of the
loose draw RODS he had TO either work
with them or quit his job. The law de-
cides differently. Sometimes its techni-
calities seem to lead far from justice

atoms work for the past year. October l.
1901. to October l, 1902. This annual dis
play Of the work is full Of interesting fig-

There have been $3.50 garments given
out TO the needy OF Wichita in the asst
year. These articles Of clothing have

cause this little aid gives the hard
pressed a chance to spend more time on
the bread and butter search. These gar
ments are not given out gratis. as many
think and complain Of as causing more
dependent ones. They are worked for
by those that get them. For instance. a
woman sews on some one eise's gown
and receives for her work whatever cloth
ing she has earned.
During this period of twelve months
Mrs Couch has had l24 families to look
after. OF this number. thirty-nve were

rotary to put the great. hearty. strong.

and other persons wishing little lift.
the secretary has made 9sS calls.
The number OF meals furnished by this
association does not correspond with the
above figures. for the reason that it is
left to the county 10 supply all hungry
ones in family lots. Individuals often go
TO the charity rooms, and the total num-
Der for the last year is only thirty-ni
There have been 123 pairs Of shoes dis
tributed. fourteen boys being prepared for
school partly from this number.
A unique feature OF the work Is the
manner in which families are supplied
with furniture. There are twenty-five
pieces. These are loaned out and when
a family leaves the city they revert TO
the association and are loaned to some
other family.
