CONTESTS EXPENSIVE.
Legislature Says Contestee Must
Pay the Costs.

Some of the contestants for seats in
the house were given a severe jolt last
night by the action of the committee on
elections adopting a rule requiring the
contestants to put I'D a bond for costs
before the contests shall be considered.
Unless the bond is filed within ten days
the contest OF the member failing to file
his bond will be dismissed.
Heretofore the legislature has always
paid all costs in contest cases, even
making an appropriation for paying the
attorneys for the contestants and pay
ing the contestants for their time, in ad-
dition to the cost of summoning wit
nesses. This last item is generally a
considerable one. as the serEeant-at-
arms is entitled to mileage for subpoe-
naing witnesses. and the witnesses
draw per diem and mileage for coming
to Topeka to testify.
It is the purpose of the elections COM
mittee to compel the contestants to pay
the costs in case they are not seated.
This will make # evident whether the
contestants really believe they have a
good case Leaving out the McNall-
Linton case from Smith county. which
McNan says can be submitted on an
agreed statement of facts there win be
three Republican contests and two
Democratic.

loved him, Myrtle Compton, 10 years old.

to elope last night with Ralph Lsantis,

last night at l. O'Clock. The runaway
pair were billed for Fort Scott. where
they were to be married at the home Of

suspected the elopement for some time
and has kept a watchful eye on her
daughter. In the afternoon she discov-
cred the plan of the lovers and set
abomt to stop the match. Nothing was
done openly but she watched the young
lady and found out that she was to
leave with her lover at midnight over
the Santa Fe Mrs. Compton phoned
to Night officer Bodley to look out for
the pair. The young people left the
house late and did not return. so the
mother knew the plans were in execu-
ton. In company with the officer. she
went to the station, where they searched
the train but nothing was found. Mr..
BOdley left the mother. rode to the
crossing at First street and found the
couple there with their baggage ready
to board the train The officer inter-
rupted the plans dismissed the young
man, and took the girl to her home.

dent of the Carnegie institution. DR..

which they are administered, and told
how the southern educational board

work together.
Considerable additional money for
educational purposes in the south has
been raised through the work Of this
new board. and one of the most efficient
subdivisions is the bureau of informa-
ton. recently esta blished. DR. Gilman
So id that the interest in educat ional
