County Court Has Power. Jefferson City, July 5.—In the case of the Jordan county school commissioners vs. the County court of Miller county, involving the right of the County court to appoint, un- der what is known as the county in- stitute law, two members of the county institute board, the Supreme court today held that the County court has the authority to appoint, regardless of the county commis- sioner. In short, the decision holds that the appointive power lies with the County court, and while they may consult with the county com- missioner, they can accept or reject his advice and euggestions a3 they may deem proper. The case was brought here on a writ of certiorari, which was ordered quashed. Uaion Services at the Churches.
