The following is taken from the New
Orleans Item, of Feb. 29, and relates

Weinfield. formerly resided in Wau-
sau.
The Newcomb school of Music con-
tinues to have its recitals regularly
in the auditorium of the Art building.
At last Thursdays recital the school
presented Ernest B. Weinfield, one
of the younger musicians.
This young man is pianist of un-
usual talent and certainly has a very
brilliant future before him. Besides
splendid technique, he is gifted with
rich fund of temperament and a
memory that is remarkable, as evil
denced by the long and difficult pro-
gram he played entirely without his
notes.
His numbers were as follows: Cap
rice on Airs from the Ballet of cal
ceste" (Gluck-Saint Saens); Reverie
(Arthur Hinton); Pierette Cyril
Scott); Prelude, OPP: %, No. 20, Etude

DEATH OF FRANZ WINNIN.
GER

Franz Winninger, the father Of the
Winninger brothers, the best known
theatrical men in the country died at
his home in Wausau last Wednesday
morning at o'clock, March 3, 1920.
He had been failing in health the past
six years, having received stroke OF
paralysis at the outset. For many
years Mr.. Winninger had the distlnc-
ton of being the leading musician and
band leader in this part of the state;
he always had very fine stringed or
chestra, and his children were all NIL
sicians of unusual ability.
Franz Winninger was born in Aus
tria on the 3rd day of December, 1S4S.
He was reared and educated in the
land of his birth and for eleven years
was in the military service of that
country, three Of which was in the
capacity of musician. He learned the
blacksmith trade in the old country,
but he showed such marked musical
traits, that he was persuaded to de-
vote his life to music. He was united
in marriage with Miss Rosali Grossler
in Austria and in 1881 he and his wife
and four children came to the United
States, seeking wider opportunities
for his talented children. They came
to Marathon county and located on a
farm near Athens. After six years of
agricultural life the family moved to
Ashland where deceased taught music
and was the leader of the Ashland
band and Ashland Maennerchor. The
father and his children all accom-
plished musicians gave concerts in the
principal cities of the state and it was
after they had paid Wausau several
visits that they were induced to come
here to live which they did in 1895.
Mr.. Winninger took Columbia hall and
conducted a place of amusement. The
Winninger Bros. Dramatic Co., was
kformed and Mr.. Winninger was the
leader of its band and orchestra. La
ter the brothers separated, each hav-
| ing dramatic company of its own.
Mr.. Winninger settled down in a coZy
home in Wausau and taught the violin
ard clarinet and general band music,
this he continued to do until he re-
/ tired.
He was a genial, lovable man, ever
ready to give pleasure to the young
and many times going out with them
himself rather than to see them dis
appointed.
He is survived by his widow; a
daughter, Mrs. Leon Miller of Cudahy
| five sons, Frank, John D. and Adolph
Winninger of Wausau, Joseph OF APP
pleton. and Charles of New York. Ali
the sons. except one, are In the theat-
ri6al business.
1 The funeral services were conduc-
ted from st. Mary's church on Satur-
day morning, Rev. ]. B. Hauck, off1ci-
ating. Interment was in st. Joseph's
cemetery.
i The pail bearers were his sons
Frank. John, Charles. and Joseph Win
niger. The honorary pail bearers
We're Joseph Ripszinski, Fred Brand
c. B. Mayer, F. Christian and Carl
Giese.

BLIZZARD, WIND
HEAVY SNOWFALL
Wednesday Night HOwling
Wintry Blast-MOre Like
Mid Winter

During all of this cold winter, from
November to March, not storm mas
eaualled the blizzard which struck US
ON Wednesday afternoon and nlght.
On Wednesday afternoon light snow
commenced to fall backed by a swift
wind from the south east; the snow
increased right along until quite late
into the night and so did the wind and
there was lust one binding whirl and
if one had been in the country even
in daylight, it would have been hard
to find ones way, but the lights and
streets guided one in the city. The
wind drifted the foot or more of snow
that fell into huge drifts blocking up
the roads into the country until they
were impossible on Thursday. Mail
carriers could only partially make
their routes. In the city everybody
Thursday morning was shovellng snow
and those going down town early in
the morning had to wear their artcs;
some wore heavy socks with their
trousers tucked inside and seemed to
enjoy wading through the snow. One
man who lives in the outskirts, said
''YOu have it easy down town, with
your walks partially cleared, at least,
but in the outskirts you have to wade
through drifts up to your waist" and
he wasn't far out of the way. A bit
ing cold blast from the north came Ia
ter in the night loaded with snow, and
strong wind made blizzard that one
reads about occasionally, but seldom
experiences.
The street cars, as usual, were do
ing duty through it all, and the man
ager of the system is entitled to the
thanks of the public. He 'gets there"
The trains were the hardest hit. All
the cuts from here to various points as
far as Milwaukee were filled so tight
with snow that it required all the men
the various roads could muster to
keep the trains going. All trains were
late and some did not get in at all
on Thursday.
1t was several days before roads
were opened and the trains were run
ming anywhere near schedule time.
The storm covered vast area, some
three hundred miles south, and north
clear to Lake Superior and it covered
nearly the whole country east and
west.
On Friday morning it was 3 below
zero and Saturday morning II below.
1t seemed to be by all odds the cOldest
morning of the winter because it was
of the quality that went right to your
marrow bones.

H. W Hargiss. former director of
athletics at the Emporia Normal, has
returned to the normal after an b.
sence of two years at Oregon. Bill
met with great succeeds while out on
the coast and was given great publicity
for winning -One game by a Shrewd
piece of headwork. His team had
scored one touchdown against the
enemy and time was almost up but
the bali was on the Oregon 15-yard
line. Coach Hargiss noticed his line
was weakening under the constant
pounding of the other teams backs
and he knew that if a large opening
could be made in his line a touchdown
would be the inevitable result. Two
new guards who had little experience
in varsity games were rushed from the
sidelines into the fray and these fresh
men by their wonderful fight kept the
score from being tied.
Hargiss is undoubtedly the most
popular coach who has ever been at
the normal and in Emporia he rates
a salute from the townspeople the
has only little wool left on his think
a few years ago by the citizens, THE
bald eagle of Empory." Some name,
but If you could hear him talk to his
team between the halves you would
name him foxy grandpa" Coach
Hargiss has been out all summer get
ting football players to come to the
normal. so the rest of the Kansas
teams had better realize that there will
be two teams in Emporia to beat this
year instead of only one. as was the
case last year.
