OW NERS ARE ANGRY.
Question as to the Future Policy of the
 Topeka Capital.

Topeka, March 2O-The warning owners of the Topeka Capital rested on their arms yesterday. F. o. Popenoe and A. c. Babize, who intend to run the paper in the future along the lines laid down by the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon in his edition of the The Capital, attended services at MT. Shell don's church Sunday. as did Dell Keiser business manager of the paper, who is op- posing Popenoe and Babize. and says The Capital will be run as it was before Sheldon took control of it.
 The Capital directory will meet soon, when the controversy will be brought to point. Neither side shows any inclina ton to yield. Unless one side gives in or buys out the other the chances are favorable to contest in the courts.
 MT. Sheldon did not mention his editorial experiment in his sermon Sunday. His suo- ject was Righteousness, and he spoke only half an hour. The most important feature of his sermon was proposition to collect in Topeka million bushels of Kan sas corn for shipment to the famine suf- ferers of India. He expressed the belief that the railroads would haul the corn to New York free. He was sure the corn would be here ready for shipment within thirty days He called upon the newspa- pers to make the appeal.
 The people of Topeka were not satisfied with the Sheldon edition because of its lack of news. MT. Popenoe however. says that the new Capital will print all the clean news and not have nearly so much religious matter as MT. Sheldon printed. Editor-in- Chief Hudson says that no daily paper can live along the sSelden lines, and insists that under no ciH umstances will he edit q religious paper.

That Thos. A. Edison used to walk up
and down everv night in front of the first
house he lighted with electricity until the
lights were extingulshed, for fear that the

that any Insurance man present, If his

good deal more scared than was Edison.
In the short space Of time that has passed
