On account of the fact that muny of the resolutions were handed direct to the committees 1t was impossible to ascer- tain the reliability of this rumor.

Mr. William Deering is believed to be the wealthiest 10an in the conference. He is not the only millionaire in the body, but he is several times a mullionairo. His home is Chicago.

Louis Miller of Ohio, a manufacturer of farm machinery, is another man whose fortune has to be represented by seven figures. Bishop Warren is said to be a millionaire and is probably the wealthiest bishop in the ohurch. There are many other wealthy men in the conference.

Des Morxes, 1a.,, May 25.—([Special Tele- gram to Tne Bee.|—The supreme court to- day handed down an opinion 1n the famous Harrison county county seat war. The ac- tion grew outof an attempt made by Mi sourl Valley to remove the county seat from Logan to that place. A petition was pre- sented to the Board of Supervisors bearing, over 5,000 signatures, asking that the location be ohanged. A protest signed by half that number was also preseuted. As there is but about 5,000 voters in the county cries of fraud were at once raised, an action in equity to securean injunction from the dis- trict court to prevent the Board of Supervis- ors from calling an election to determine the location was brought. The court dissolved the injunction on the ground of no jurisdic- tion. An appeal was taken and the judg- ment was affirmed. This places the case in the hands of the Board of Supervisors and the matter 1s wher it “tarted. The Mis- souri Valley crowd claim tuut it is & victory for their case and that tihey will get the county seat. Judge Kinne dissented.
