Postmaster: Did you never feel like killing
newspaper publisher
Don't the newspapers make you tired every
week Of your life2
We have long felt guilty. We are going
reform.

On and after that date $50 help us the c. o,
D. plan) no CAPITAL JOURNALS will be sen
to your office that are not paid for in advance.
That is what we have been doing the past
year with the ONE CENT DAILY.
Its circulation has nearly doubled and now
aggregates over ten thousand copies week.
We now propose o'do the same thing with
the WEEKLY CAPITAL JOURNAL, the first
weekly paper in Marion county to take this
stand.
On and after Jan. Ist., 1895, the DAILY and
WEEKLY CAPITAL JOURNAL will not be sent
to any address unless paid for in advance and
NO PAPERR WILL BE SENT BEYOND the time
paid for.
The JOURNAL is the first paper in Marion
county to adopt this system and we believe il
will meet with the approval Of the public and
the APPRECIATION OF THE PosTMAsTERs.
1t is an imposition on the people who sub
cribe for newspapers and crime agains
the outraged public officials who serve then
with their mails to send out newspapers be
yond the time subscribed for.
We will give ONE DOLLAR REWARD or a..
copy Of our paper sent out (unles, by TAX
day or week beyond tn. time pr} "a,

will for doing our duty.
1t is our duty to the people and TO the post
masters to adopt this plan. 1t will save tn,
people money, because we reduce the IT C
our weekly to sI.oo per year net cash in ad
vance Six months or three months at sam,
rate, and stopped when time is out.
