The ordinary mode of travel is, as yet, by horse or other animal power, but the careful use of steam, electric, or gasoline carriages can not, in this'age, be regard­ ed as an Unreasonable mode of travel upon the highways and of late years the bicycle hascouie to be a recognized vehicle, entitled to its place upon/the country roads upon the same terms as other vehicles. These new methods of locomotion can not be excluded from the highway on the ground that they are liabltt to frighten horses unused to them, but persons using unusual vehi­ cles of any kind are under obligation to use all usual and reasonable precaution in order that no harm may result, to Others therefrom; and the same rule applies where unusual animals, such as are kept in traveling menageries, are driven along the highway. Such ani­ mals are not excluded from the road, but to knowingly drive an unbroken, vicious, or unmanageable animal of any kind upon the public road would be such negligence that if anyone should be injured in person or property there­ by the negligent party would be an­ swerable for the damages caused. Whenever any engine, driven in whole or in part by steam power, is being propelled upon a public road, the whistle may not be blown, and those having it in charge must stop it one hundred yards frojn any person with horses upon the highway, and at a greater distance away if they exhibit fear on account thereof, until they have passed it; and a competent person shall be kept on) hundred yards in advance of snch engine to assist in any emer­ gency Arising from frightened animals, and to prevent accidents. In crossing any bridge or culvert in the road, four sound, strong planks not less than twelve feet long and one foot wide and two inches thick shall be used by plac­ ing and keeping continuously two of them nnder the wheels. A failure to comply with these requirements renders the owner liable to a fine of one hundred dollars. Persons on horseback, or vehicles meeting each other on the public roads, shall give one-half of the same, tnrning to the right. A failure in this regard renders the delinquent liable for all dam­ ages resulting therefrom, together with a fine of fire dollars, which fine is used in repairing the roads in the district where the violation occurred, but no prosecution shall be.institnted except on the part of the party wronged upon complaint made by him. Of course if one-half of the road should be impassable or unsafe for any reason both parties wond have a right to pass upon the other half, each keep­ ing to the right, and it wonld thus seem that each should give the other half of the traveled road. It should be born in mind, too, that the law is not designed to encourage a want of conrtesy in the highways. Therefore, if one is occupy­ ing the single traveled track in the cen­ ter of the road with a heavy load, so that he can not turn to the right with convenience or safety, ordinary conrtesy requires that another who meets him on horseback or with only a light vehicle should give him all of the track, if he can do so without g^reat inconvenience to himself. The person with the heavy load may usually, in such a- case, keep the traveled track with safety. If the person with the light vehicle should insist upon nsing one half of the sam > track, thus causig a collision, and suf­ fering damage therefrom which he might easily have avoided, he can not recover such damages, for no one can willfully get himself damaged, even by another's wrong, and then recover the damages suffered. When two {tersons are traveling in the same direction, it seems that the one in advance is not required by law, though he may by courtesy, to deviate either way from the highway in order o let the otber pass, but the other may drive by him on either side. If. how­ ever, the road is so narrow that there is not room to pass on either side, but if the one in front would turn a little to one side or the otber the one in the rear could pass, and the one in the rear, for a good reason, requests the privilege of passing, and the other does not grant it, the former can recover damages if he has suffered any by the delay, but he has no right to force a passage and thns cause a collision. Riding or driving at an inordinate rate of speed is an abuse of the priv­ ileges of the highway, because it endan­ gers the safety of others who have! equal rights thereon. What will consti­ tute an inordinate rate of speed must depend upon the circumstances. One uiay ordinarily drive at a greater raie of speed in the country thau in the town or city, and he may -drive mnch more rapidly upon a straight road which he can see to be unoccupied for h long distance ahead of him than along a winding way where he may collide with another at any t rn. For the same reason he -muBt drive more care ? fully at night than in the day time. One must always drive at so low a rate of speed as not to amount to rashness, and so i hat he may control and stop his horses as the circumstances require, 1 Any person who drives upon the highway in a manner likely to en­ danger the life or person of another, may be fined or imprisoned for the offense. Bridges erected or maintained Tjy the public constitute parts of the highway. To ride (except on a bicycle or automobile) or drive faster than a walk over a public bridge which is over twenty-five feet or more in length is a public offense, for which the guilty party is liable to a penalty varying with the length of the bridge. Leaving horses untied along the high­ way is a very frequent form of negli­ gence and if a horse or team thus left runs away and does damage, the negli­ gent owner or driver will be liable therefore. But if the horse runs away without the fault of the driver, he '-will- not be liable for the"damages done, but hs will have the burden to pro vie that he was not at fault. If any person willfully or carelessy frightens a horse, tied or untied, and causes him to run away, he is liable for all damages done, not only to the owner of the horse, but to other persons who may suffer injury as the direct result of bis mis­ conduct. If one desires to constrnota cattle%vav across, over, or nnder roads or bridges, he must get permission from the road supervisor and then keep the same in repair. If one wishes to construct a drain across the road he must notify the road supervieor in writing, and if he does not construct the same within twenty days from such notice the owner of the adjacent land may construct it, leaving the road in as good condition as he found it, and shall receive pay from the road fund for constructing the same including the tile used. Provided, al­ ways, that a natural drainage crosses the road where the drain is desired. All persons using the country roads should remember that the soil thereof belongs to the owners of the adjoining land, each owning to the middle of the road, and that the only rights which the public has is to pass and repass thereon in an orderly manner and to grade and repair the road so as to make a convenient and suitable highway. Therefore, no Stranger has„ as against the owner, the right to dig and remove sand, earth, sod or stone from the grass that grows there, nor to tie his cow, horse, or calf to graze thereon, nor to raise a crop there, nor to cut or injure trees of any kind, nor to gather fruit there, nor to befoul any spring of water arising there.nor to dump rubbish there, nor take tip his abode there further than is necessary for rest in travel. It sometimes happens that one who has a quarrel with the land owner npori the premises of the latter will retreat to the highway, thinking that to be neutral ground, and from there revile the land owner; but unless he goes beyond the center of the road he is still as much on the other person's land as he was when in his dooryard. As to gathering wild berries, frnit, nut*, and the like, along the roadway, the public has been so long accustomed to do so with impunity that it is^. gen­ erally regarded as a public right. It the land owner means to object, it. is only proper that he should give notice to all persons that he will assert his title to this property, notwithstanding the custom of the country to the con­ trary. Any unlawful interference with the rights of the owner of the soil in the highway is a trespass, for which the offender is liable to the owner in damages. G. A. MILLER. %tarllin|j but True. People the world over were horrified on learning of the burning of a Chicago theater in which nearly, six hundred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this number".or over 3 <MH) people died ..from "pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing- notice. Every one of these cases of pneumonia resulted from a Cold and could have been prevented by the timely use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. A great, ninny who bad every reason to fear pneumonia have warded it off by the prompt irse of this remedy, The following is an instance of this sorf i "Too much cannot be said in favor of Chamberlain's Cough .Remedy, and es­ pecially.. for coljls and. influenza: , I know that it cured my daughter, Latira, of a severe cold, and I lielieve saved her life when she was threatened ivifh pneu­ monia."
