and summer season.
In seasons past men have had the
option Of several designs TO choose from,
but not in recent seasons has the choice
covered SO much contrsst in modelling as
is evidenced I'm the authoritative suit
models now displayed.
The model that greatest emphasis IS
laid upon is a loose short sack coat
Much loOser and shorter than We have
seen in several seasons. The length OF
the coat FOR men OF average build Is 70
he about 31IR inches. It Is cut straighter
than usual and on more conservative
lines, and Will for that reason be less
form defining than heretofore.
These loose sack coats fall more direct
from the shoulders thai the coats Of
last season. the sleeves are fuller and
there Is considerably more elbow room
noticeable. The sleeve heads are also
full and Che lapels show less length Of

Ellen Osenberg Secures Allowance for
Caring for j. w. Moore.

Ellen Osenberg. who for thirteen
and half years kept house and in his
later years nursed the late John w.
Moore, wealthy real estate owner,
was today awarded $1,000 from his
estate by Probate Judge Schoch.
J. J. Schenck and w. e Atchison.
attorneys for the housekeeper who
brought the suit to recover a suitable
recompense for her, produced in court
a contract between Moore and herself
whereby he was to provide for her in
his will.
BY the terms of the will Mrs. Osen-
berg was given three small pieces of
property in the vicinity of the old
home at 1900 East Sixth avenue. These
properties were valued by the court
at $1,800. The suit asked for $500
additional as fair wage for the long
period of service.
The probatiug of the will of the old
man, whose wealth was not known but
guessed at with figures from $4,000
to $150,000, created a sensation in To-
peka because of the beQueSt of all his
properties above debts and small al
lowance to Washburn college. The
college authorities professed as much
surprise as anyone else at the will but
admitted that representatives had
sought an endowment from him years
ago.
Washburn was to get all the money
and property except the reservations
for Ellen Osenberg and the payment
of SO a month to a sister of Mr..
Moore, Mrs. Teresa Smith, for the re-
mainder of her life. The terms of the
will, however, although the amount of
the bequest was estimated at $4,000,
when they became known, damped the
enthusiasm and dreams of Immediate
improvements or buildings on the
campus. Mr.. Moore had worked for
his wealth. He had made his gift in
the shape of an endowment for the
education of needy students who
should apply for assistance. At this
age of college life, the provisions of the
lege going men and women will not
ask for assistance. Many work but re-
fuse charity which they consider the
taking of such an advantage to be.
Added to that, the estimate made at
the filing of the will for probate cut
the supposed worth of Mr.. Moore down
to some $40,000, still a handsome gift,
however.
John Moore died September 8, 1909.
Thirteen and one-half years previous
Ellen Osenberg with young son came
to his simple home to keep it for him.
He was never married and had no one
to care for him. His business was in
vesting. which proved profitable. The
services of his housekeeper were re-
Schoch although he considered the at
torneys claim too high. The final ar
rangement agreed upon was the pay
ment to her from the estate of SIS a
week for the first nine and one-half |
years, $40 a week for the next three
years, and $50 week for the last year
of his life when Mrs. Osenberg per-
formed the services of both housekeep- |
er and trained nurse. Deducting the |
of the three properties willed |
to her, the court made an award of |
$4,000 from the balance of the estate. |

HE REFUSES BIG PLACE.
Former Topeka Man Doesn't Want st.
Louis Police Place.

The following article clipped from
the St Louis Republic of recent date
Will interest the many friends of Rob
ert NJ. Fulton. who is a brother of
and formerly a resident of this city.
Robert NJ. Fulton is an attorney-at-
law in St. Louis and has been offered
many positions of prominence by
but a few months ago when he re-
fused an excellent appointment from
the governor.
The article follows:
Robert M. Fulton, formerly chief
postoffice inspector here, last night
refused to accept the appointment of
police commissioner of St Louis to
fill out the unexpired term of Com
missioner r. r. Bland, who resigned
yesterday morning.
MIR. Fulton went to Jefferson City
at the request of Governor Hadley,
talked with the executive for two
hours and declined to consider the
governors offer, despite repeated and
desperate urging. Mr.. Fulton started
home on a night train, leaving the
governor to his troubles.
while it was given out at the cap
itaI that the reason for Mr.. Fulton's
defamation was that he feared a job
on the police board would interfere
with his law practice, it was learned
from other sources that he had addi-
tional reasons.

who does not believe in mixing politics

is said to appreciate the value of

1.-THE dismissal of Chief Creecy is
charged to politics and there are even
who admit that the fore

NAV he traced to the same cause.
"GoVernor Hadley told the Repub-
lie correspondent at Jefferson City late
last night that he had no idea whom
he would appoint to succeed Mr..
Bland. He was keenly disappointed

Wells Of Turkish Women.

Turkish women do not wear wells
because of their religion, as many sup
pose. IT IS merely the survival of an
old custom When the Turks still
lived in Tartary, before the time of
Mohammed, it was the habit of the
men to steal such women for wives
as attracted them. This led to so
much fighting that about the second
century after Christ the Turks came
together and decided that henceforth
the women should go yelled. and
should not meet men but dwell in
harems as soon as they arrived at
wonanhood-which was at about II
years of age-Metropolitan Magazine.
