THE RIGHTS OF a TEACHER.

The trial of school teacher in
Henry county, ILL.,, for Furnishing a
pupil is deserving of attention mas
much as the judge in commenting on
the case expounded the rights of
teachers and the sphere of their duty
when pupils are not Immediately on
the school premises. In the case in
question the jury exonerated the
principal. AS the question involved is
one that might arise any time in this
city and county, the following extract
viii be found of interest to all con
cerned in school discipline:
1T must be admitted that a school
teacher or superintendent of schools,
having other teachers under his direc.
ton, stands in the relation of parent
IN law and he has right to admin.
lister reasonable punishment upon a
pupil who breaks the rules of the
school and refuses TO recognize the
authority OF the teacher. In my iudg.
ment that is the first thing a pupil has
10 know; that is. that the teacher has
authority, and the second thing for
him to know is that he has got to
recognize it the same as he would
recognize the order of a father in the
household.
There is no question in my mind
that teacher not only has control
over student during school hours.

RAILROADS TO INSURE BAGGAGE. Plans to Reduce Woes of Travellers Who Lose Trunks Are Being
 Fiqured Out


 Woes of that part of the travelling public which occasionally loses it's baggage soon will be decreased, for the railroads are planning to put into effect a system of insuring baggage valued at not more than $1OO free of charge and for a small fee if worth more than $100.
 This is one of the features of a set of rules prepared here recently with a view toward uniform baggage regula- tions. The joint committee which worked out the rules will present them to all passenger associations for adoption.
 In order to take advtange of the proposed insurance the passenger will be required to declare the value of his baggage before starting on his jour ney. In the event of value above $100 approximately 16 per cent of the ex- cess baggage rate.
 The excess baggage rates are based on the passenger rates, being a cer- tain percentage of the amount a pas senger has to pay for his own trans portation.
 In percentage the new rule will fig ure out about 1.6 per cent of passen- ger rates for every S100 of value de- clared. The amount of excess money over the regular passenger rate that it vii cost to travel should the new rules be adopted, will depend, of course, upon the value of the passen- gers baggage Should the passenger carry for eXamDle S1 GOO worth of baggage an additional charge of 16 per cent of the passenger rate will be harged.-Chicago Record Herald.

Coed Work Done
 On County Roads
And There Is a Prospect of More of
 It This Coming Week.

According to report, splendid pro- gress is being made on the road re- pairing between here and Phoenix. The town has contributed liberaIly toward a fund that was at first started by the automobile owners of Tempe. This fund was spent in re- pairing the river crossing and there has never been a time in previous history, when the river road, from bank to bank, was anything the equal to what it is at the present time.
 On the other side of the river, Superintendent Acuff and Road Over seer Tom King have a. force of men engaged in hauling caliche. It is planned to flood a couple of miles of this road. Superintendent Acuff and Mir King were here Friday aft ernoon. The superintendent was a little in doubt about the location of the city limits and hesitated upon starting work just across the river he found out for certain that he was within the limits of his jurisdiction He found out that the road that just now is in in especially bad shape, is outside of the limits of the town and he promises to have a force of men at work this coming week to get it in as good shape as possible before fair time. Those who have been over the road recently state that though still in bad shape in places, it is a vast improvement over what it was a few weeks ago.
