ORIGINAL sHIRTWAIsT MAN
&c Will Re in Topeka Next Week.

One of Chicago's original shirt waist
men will be in Topeka next week He
is Jules Kusell, stage manager of the
Veronee & Falk Stock company, which
will open an engagement at the CraW-
ford theater Monday.
Mr.. Kusell was one of the first men
in Chicago to don a shirt waist. Ac-
cOrding to Mr.. H. J. Cohen, agent of
the company, who is now in Topeka, he
was asked to leave the dining room of
the Grand Pacific hotel because of his
apparel
Unless some enterprising Topeka
dresser secures a shirt waist before the
first of the week, Mr.. Kusell will be the
first to exploit the threatened fad in
this city. The shirt waist, by the way,
is simply fancy bosom shirt worn
without suspenders. They have reach
ed Kansas City, but SO far no Topeka
merchant offers them for sale.

they are more desirable than American
government bonds, because the cost of
the latter is enhanced by circulation

the compulsory investment of some in
