Capitol Vs Capital

As I was following the Inauguration, the headlines in newspaper said "Trump heads to Capitol" .  Something about the spelling felt wrong... I realized I had learnt to spell it as "Capital" and concluded spelling mistake in the newspaper.
 But as I followed the news in other websites / new papers found it was indeed "Capitol".
Curiosity got the better of me and I searched wiki.
Definitions are:
Capitol : A capitol is a building in which a legislature meets
Capital :

• Capital city, the area of a country, province, region, or state, regarded as enjoying primary status, usually but not always the seat of the government

Swine Flu

 The news of swine flu is all across the country currently. I got a scare of my life when the teacher from my daughter's school called up to tell me that the school was going to be closed for the next 10 days.

 I rushed to pick her up from school. There were TV crew members in the school campus and the Principal was seen assuring worried parents. I ran to my daughter's class. The teacher wouldn't give much details about the suspected student. But she assured that the student was a suspected candidate and not a confirmed one. She also mentioned that the student did not belong to the class my daughter studied. In fact that student was not in the same wing. (wonder what that means)

 But I drove back home with my girl ... all tensed up.
