However, the olJ educational machine had alipped a cog aome way. aa Cavlneaa couldn't under- etand how it happened.

Busineea of a minor Importance took up the attention of tha board moat of the forenoon, contracts for the furnishing of electric supplies for the Peru and other schools being let In small amounts to the Westlnghouse company branch at Omaha. The matter of change In rules was brought up by Majors, but there was enough uncertainty about the feelings of the board that oonslderatlon of the mat ter was put off untM the board membera who weranot acquainted with the law governing the matter could have time to look It up.

Ha had come to the meeting, having discarded his hickory shirt, turndown eoUar and regulation tie and appeared In a white shirt with laven der trimmings, a standup collar and a nice white bow tie, announcing that It was his "ministerial haballamanets." but it Is considered that the white tie waa a sort of a flag of truce thrown out to Or. Thomas in order to get across tha rulea while hostilities were abandoned for the time being. The rules placed the principal of each normal president of the faculty, aa now. with general supervision of the school, but created a department of records and a department of physical plant They looked so harmless that auspiclou seemed to prevail among tha membera, and on suggestion of Thomaa and Oettys, they were laid over for a time to give the "members who had not Been them" a chance to look them over a litis. Some of the board seemed to think there was a full-sUed African concealed In the wood pile In connection with the rules, and so they will have to stand under suspicion until tha woodplie la examined. SMALL ROBBERY REPORTED WITHIN STATE HOUSE WALLS (From a Btaff Correspondent) LINCOLN, June (Special.) Much mystery surrounds a robbery which oc curred at the state house last night, and .while tha amount stolen Is very small, the circumstances surrounding the rob bery are causing considerable comment When tha young woman who conducts the cigar atand and candy counter in the lobby of th state house came to the building this morning she noticed some one had unacrewed tha two brass strips serosa the corners of the top of the case io keep the top glass In and had re moved tha gesa, After removing soma ' randy tha robber replaced the glass, screwed down the plates again and de ramped. The night watchman, who is supposed to be on duty and make the rounds of the building looking for trouble, knew nothing about any burglars thla morn ing and tha state board la congratulat- . tng Itself that tha stats house was not carried off. (From a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. June 83. (Ppecial.) - The Dempster Mill company of Beatrl.-s has asked Labor Commissioner Frank Coffey to make a ruling as to who hss the tight to employ a doctor In case of Injuiv, the errployer or the employe. The question Is asked: , If we offer to send a man in a first class hospital and rive a first-class doc tor and he refuses to accept this doctor and this hospital and destdes to hire a doctor and hospital other than the one wc wish him to have, are we responsible for his hospital and doctor bills, trad Is he entitled to compensation while he Is off? Fectinn 3661 of the statutes provides that the employer shall be liable for reason able medical and hospital services and medicines as when needed, not, ho-vever. to exceed $iX In value, during the first twenty-one days after the Injury. This same section contalna a modifying clause which provides that If the employe "re fures or neglects" to avail himself of such medical or hospital services the em ployer Shalt not be liable for any aggra vation of such Injury due to said refusal or neglect Rlaht of Employer. Section 3675 provides that the employer may request or demand that Ihe Injured employe submit to an examination during the term of his Incapacitation, and the employer may have a doctor of his own selection make tha examination, tho em ployer to pay the expense. Tha injured employe may have present at the ex amination a doctor of his own selection and at his own expense. If the employe refuses to grant such an examination the Injured employe shall be denied com pensation during such refusal. The modifying clause In Section 3681 and the provisions of Section 9675, says the labor commissioner, seem clearly to anticipate that the doctor In the first nstancs will not be tha selection of the employer In every case, else there would be no need of these provisions. Theory of the Laws. The theory upon which compensation laws are enacted Is that when the con tract of employment Is entered Into that there shall also be an agreement aa to how muoh money and hospital and med ical services the Injured employe shall be entitled In case of personal Injury, or. If an Injury resulting in death, how much money the dependents of the in jured employe shall receive. It seems clearly to have been the In tent of the legislature, and a fair In terpretation of the law, that the Injured employe shall receive medical and hos pital services and medicines during the first twenty-one days after the Injury, not to exceed $200 in amount for which the employer must pay. Of course, these services should be reasonable and proper. and If tha employer or the Injured em ploye Is dissatisfied with the selection in the first Instance either may request or demand an examination by a doctor of their own selection. latent of Legislator. As we Interpret the intent of the legislature aa written Into the compen sation law, the right of selection of the medical and hospital services and medi cines in tha first Instance does not rest solely with tha employer. If the employe suffer an injury for which there is no specific number of weeks for which he shall be compensated aet forth in the law, then he would re ceive compensation during the period of his Incapacitation as certified by tha attending physician, unlesa it should ap pear upon an examination of a physi cian selected by the employer that tha attending physician was in error.
