A PAYING EXPERIMENT.
Sheldon Week Will Lift the Topeka
Capital Out OF IA Big FL
nanciaI Hole.

Topeka, Kas., March 1.-THE Shell
vestment for the Capital company. 1t
is estimated that the fetal circulation
Of the Sheldon edition will be 100000
copies, and that this circulation will
be swelled 100, 900 copies more in streeJ
sales in New York, Chicago and other
cities and in Europe. Three hundred
thousand subscriptions have been SEN
in by church organization and Ep-
worth leagues. These organizations
got the paper at Is cents for the week,
and charged ten cents extra to sub
scribers, which fund goes into the
treasury of churches and leagues So
letting the subscribers.
Mr.. L. o. Popence, one of the owners,
said that it would be a fair estimate
that the subscriptions would net the
Capital nearly $4,000, and that for
eign advertising would swell that
amount to over S65, 900. This sum will
lift from the Capital a debt of over
$50, 900, which has been hanging over
the paper for IL years.
The Sheldon experiment was con-
ceived by F. o. Popence, who said that
the Capital company would set apart
a reasonable portion Of the profits for
such charities as Mr.. Sheldon may sug-
gest.
The new editor will refuse to accept
anything for his services. 1t is prob
able that $4,000 will be rendered Mr..
Sheldon for such disposition as he may
wish to make of it. The money will
be expended in identifying u region OF
