The Automobile Law.
Hy request of several of the Journal's
farmer friends we publish below sev
eral sections of the law enacted by
the legislature of Nebraska last winter,
and which has reference to the regula
tion, use or operation of automobiles
upon the highway or streets. It seems
that some of those who are so fortun
ate (or unfortunate) as to own one of
these machines, have been defying the
law and appropriating such portions
of the highway as they deem to them
selves proper. And the farmers deem
it proper that they respect the law,
and they propose to see that they
do it.:
Sections'. ISpecd limit. No per
son shall operate a motor vehicle on a
public highway at a rate of speed
greater than is reasonable and proper,

portion of a city, town or village, at a
greater rate than one(l) mile in six

town or village at a greater rate than
one (1) mile in four (4) minutes, or
else where outside of the city, town or

operated at a rate of speed less than
heretofore specified, and in no event
greater than is reasonable and proper,
having regard to the traffic then on
such highways and the safety of the

Section 9. Operating. Any per

plied with section two (2) or section
four (4) of this act from the free use

ances, rules or regulations now in

validity or effect: Provided that noth
ing in this act shall be construed as
limiting the power of local authorities

ordinance, rules or regulation, in addi
tion, in addition to the provisions of
this act. affecting motor vehicles w hich
are ollcred to the public lor hire.
Section 2. ViolationsPenalties.

of this act, shall be deemed a misde
meanor, punishable by fine not exceed

What Mr. Galus Says.
Mr. H. (lalus, of Duncan, Neb., says:
'I used several bottles of Triner's
American Elixir of Hitter Wine widen
1 consider the best remedy in the
world for my illness. It strengthens
my appetite and gives a refreshing
sleep, besides it takes the place of
tatle-w ine." Thousands of those hav
ing used this excellent preparation,
say the same. It is the best remedy
for the stomach, because it helps in
every instance. Wenever your diges
tive system will get out of order,
which is usually manifested by a poor
appetite and ioss of strength, you can
take no better remedy than Triner's
American Elixir of Hitter Wine. It
is pure grape-wine with bitter herbs,
the ideal remedy for diseased stomach.
You can give it to children as well as
to old people. At drugstores. Jos.
