Topeka, Kan, March 12.--The trou-
bles Of the Rev. G. M. Sheldon, who
has undertaken to conduct daily

have begun. The first issue of the
paper under his management will ap-

Rev. Mr.. Sheldon Is going to run.
According to the agreement between
the owners Of The Daily Capital and
Mr.. Sheldon the latter is to determine
all the business as well as editorial
questions of the paper during next
week. During the day the business
manager began to send importunate ad
vertising men to the preacher who is
to be editor. There were patent medi-
cine men, theatrical men. distillery
agents and representatives of factories
which make ladies' lingerie and patent
corsets. They had all kinds of money
and elOquence. and they went to Dr..
Sheld0n's home In carriages. He
wrestled with them all day, and threw
them all down" one by one, refusing
thousands of dollars worth of adver-
Using and telling the disappointed
agents who sought to beguile him that
Jesus would not approve of your
wares or of the pictures and legends
by which you seek to exploit them"

NO INDEPENDENTS FOR BoERs.


No Terms but Complete Subiugation Will
Satisfy England.
London, March 12-Presidents Kru.
ger and Steyn have put forward their
first overtures looking to an ending of
the war. but their efforts are certain to
be futile. inasmuch as they insist that
the preservation of the independence
of the two republics be guaranteed first
of all.
Judging from the temper Of the Brit
fish people. as displayed recently and
from opinions of the press. there Is but
one possible conclusion, namely. the
complete subjugation Of the Beers. the
taking away, OF the independence OF
the two republics. and the ineorpora.
ton Of their territory into crown col
ony.
Nothing less than this will satisfy
the war party of the empire. which at
present has full control. According to
The Daily Mail correspondent at Pre-.
toria those Boer representations have
been telegraphed to Lord Salisbury.

universal caper himself once upon 8
time? l have no doubt that Bryan
was thus engaged when Mr.. Mckinley
volunteered la 1861, for Bryan was
born In 1860. Does Mr.. Greene think
that Bryan ought to have been fighting
instead of mewling and puking in his
nurses arms In 1861? How could he
