moral, sanitary and charitable
disquisItions rather than current

The success of Mr.. Sheldon's ex-
pertinent is sensational ifhis naner
itself is not.
The circulation Of the Topeka
Capital, normally under $4,000,
jumped during the week it is being
run by the clergyman, to 100000
daily. If he had been willing he
could have filed half IA dozen
Capitals with advertisements at n
quadruple the ordinary rates, but
the advertising was limited to
twenty columns and the rates re
main as they were.
There will be the usual Sunday
issue OF the Capital, but it will be
