Jndsc Hamcr Dlmwntn. Judge Homer of tho supremo court haa handed down a dlrsantlng opinion in tho Jiln6dln. fraction company cos .Involving "tho right of tho railway commission to havfe.' Jurisdiction over' the 'taking off of ;oors on a lino operated by 'them' and . chPnglng to another line. The case was ono Involving taking off of street cars ' yfnnnlng over tho so-called "high lino' fiuin Lincoln to Colleges View, coming Into the city 6ver Twelfth street." The com pnny changed (ho running of tho cars so that they entered tlio city on Thirteenth strcot, striking .the U street llne at tha corner by Miller & I'alne's store. II UerpolBhelmer, who claimed that he had been induced to buy stock In- tho old company which had built on Twelfth street by his store, set out that one of the Inducements made him to buy stock was that the "high line" would enter the city by his department store, which Is one ot the strong competitors to the Miller & Paine store. However, when tho company which built the Twelfth street lino sold out to the Lincoln Traction com pany, tlio-"hlgh line" cars were shifted to the Thirteenth street tracks., Herpol ehelmer and others went Into court to forre the company to replace the cars on llio former lino and tha supreme court up held the action of tho railway commls slon. which had decided that tho com pany hod no right to route Its cars over tho Thirteenth street line. Judge Hamcr In his dissenting opinion claims that tho action of the commission Is unlicensed authority" and tho decision of the supremo . court against public policy. According to his opinion the rail way commission has no authority except In rate cases and has no right to Issue orders regarding construction of lines.

Send for Plustiated Booklet Free The Sign, When you put n sign on your property it at tracts more, attention to itself than to the house you desire to sell. If the property is n residence and your ob ject is to convince a prospective buyer of the select character of the neighborhood, a sign certainly would not be good taste. On some kinds of prop erty, such as a vacant lot or a tumble-down empty house near an abandoned coal mine, a sign would not de tract from the value of the land. Out it would not-bring a buyer out to see it. Some thing else is required to let the buyer know where your property, ia located. The Agent One of tho best ways to sell a house is through an agent. An agent works hard for his commission; ho must first find a buyer who is interested in the kind of proporty you have; then he may spend weeks trying to convince the man that ho should buy. Often he does not sell the house, so all bis work is done without pay. He has spent his time, but you have spent nothing. You should always em ploy an agent, however, be cause his experience gives him a degree of skill in clos ing deals that is worth all that he earns in the way of commissions. The Bee Want Ad A sign is seen only by those who chance to t pasa tho property. An J agent goes to men who nave never seen the proporty and thus brings, it to the atten tion of a greater num ber of people. But a want & in The Bee reaches city. the entire It supplements the work of the agent it does not replace him. Where the agent sees only a dozen men who aro inter ested in your property, The Hco want ad reaches hun dreds.
