any material change. 1t has been de-
cided not to hold consultations more

and that the only bulletin to be is.

WILL FIRE DEMOCRATS
New Board of Normal Regents Expect
to Make Political Appointments.

WHEELING, June "a number OF
the heads of the State Normal
Schools and members of the subor
didate teaching corps will be Topped
into the basket, it is said, by the
new Board of Regents at it's meeting
to be held the latter part of June,
following the close of the commence
ments. Their successors will be
Republicans, and strong color to the
belief held in authoritative circles
that the wedding out process will
come to pass is shown by the politi-
complexion of the new board, which
stands five Republicans to two Dem
ocrats. In making his selections
Governor White is said to have
needed cry for the replacing
of Democratic principals with
good Republicans, and the new
law covering the organization of the
board offered good opportunity to
work in safe majority. Under for
mer regimes the board consisted of
five members, three to two political
", according to the Administration,
and the failure TO reward Republi-
can claimants for positions under
the Atkinson regime is cited as a
reason for the strong opposition to
State Superintendent Trotter for a
second term, he going down the line
with a thud.
His successor. superintendent
L. G. Miller, while strong Repub-
lican is conservative. Matters
might be different if be had the bal
lance of power in a board Of five
members, but without his vote the
board stands four to two. If the
advance reports Of changes prove
anywhere near correct many new
teachers with Republican leanings
will greet the students when the
school year begins in September.
Democratic principals are in charge
Of four of the six State Normal
Schools now, as follows: L. j. Cor
bly, at Huntington, A. c. Klmler at
Sheperdstown, J. w Barnes at
Fairmont, w. J. Holden at Glen
vile. At West Liberty the incum-
bent. j. M. Skinner, is a Republican
but fight is being made for his
place, and it is alleged he is luke
warm politically. The principal
Of the school at Athens is E. F.
Goodwin, marked up as a Repuhli.

hours of yesterday afternoons ses-
sion of the Reformed Presbyterian
Synod of North America, in the Eighth
Street church, was occupied in a spir-

Presbyterian Woman's association,
which organization has at present the
management of that institution. No

ton, and r. c. Wylie, of the National

A. McAteer and Samuel McNaugher
as members Of the board
At the mornig session Rev r. c.
Allen. of Grove City presented the
report Of the special committee ap
pointed to inquire into the evils of
the United States army. The commit
tee devoted its attention more espe-
cially to the social evil as it exists
in Hawaii and the Philippines, and
demanded that the system alleged to
be protected by our military rules be
rooted out. The report was adopted
unanimously. The evening was given
up to a missionary conference, pre-
sided over by DR.. r. M Sommeryille,
of New York

TWO CENTS
NORTHCOTT CHOSEN.
Report that the President Has
Selected.

The Huntington Man for Judge OF the
New Judicial District Northcotf
Went to Urge the Claims OF another
Wan President Mckinley very Much
Taken with Him.
One OF the most interesting re-
ports that has come to the surface
for some time is one in relation to
the Federal Judgeship Tor the new
judicial district In this state. 1t is
expected that the appointment will
be made in a few days and it is said
that Elliott Northeott of Hunting
ton is to Ee the man.
Mr.. Northcott went TO Washing
ton to see President Mckinley about
the claims Of cne Of the candidates
tor the place The President was
very much impressed with him and
suggested TO one Of the senators
that he would probably make can
didate who would be favorably con-
sidered.
why don't Northcott ask for
himseli2' was the way that the
President put it. Northcott was
given the hunch and he put in his
application. 1t is now stated by
people who are in the inside that he
will receive the appointment.
The information was given to the
NEW DOMINION by a gentleman who
IS we'll informed on what il going on
IN Washington. He says that there
is no doubt that the appointment
will be made and that within few
days How he received his infor-
nation he does not state.
Gov. Atkinson's friends have ap.
parently not given up the fight yet
but it is not thought that he will
ever land the plum. One Of the
hardest matters in connection with
the whole thing has been to find q
man with brains and ability enough
to hold the of1ie There has been
no lack of candidates but they have
been light weights for the most par t.

MORE CONTRACTORS HERE.
Baker and Judson Prepare to
Start Work

On Locks Ten and EleYen-1hey will
Finish the Former at an Early Date
w. e. HowIey Throws mp the Sponge
on Fourteen and Fifteen-Little Re-
greet Expressed by River Engineers.
Mr.. E. Brown Baker of the firm OF
Baker and Jadson Of Buffalo is in
town. He has come here to look after
the starting Of the work on locks and
dams 10 and II which have been
awarded to his company. On lock
tel there is merely gap to be closed
in the center of the dam while nothing
has been done toward the construction
of lock and dam II except the build
ing of Golfer dam.
Mr.. Baker was seen by NEW Do
MINION man at the Peabody today.
He said that material had begun to
be shipped in for the work under his
direction. The gap in dam ten will
be closed first and then attention will
be turned toward the work on IL. To
complete the lower dam first will en-
able the contractors to take their
material up to the upper one by water
making 1t much cheaper TO construct
than it otherwise would be.
They expect to get the lower one
done and in full working order early
in the present season. Their force of
men will be working at full blast
within the next four weeks. OF
course high water will interfere with
these plans but they hope for the best
since there has been SO much rain and
the chances favor dry spell from
now on.
Not more than one hundred men
will be employed on the work Most
of it is to be done with machinery
and the very latest is used in this
line. The company expects to finish
its contract well within the allotted
time of two years. They expect to
finish up within trife over one year.
This of course has great deal to do
with the weather and stage of water.
The principal offices of the company
will be in Morgantown although they
have offices on the work. Their men
will begin to come in shortly and as
fast as may be the start will be made.
The representatives who are here have
been busy getting acquainted with
the locations and local conditions.
Major Powell has returned to Pitts
burg after short visit of inspection
here. He was well pleased with what
he found here. The contractors on
II and 13 are hard at work while
those on 10 and 4 are getting ready
to start. w. E. Howley who has IA
and Is has decided to let the matter
drop as they cannot furnish the bond.
1t is probable that another ADVERTISE
ment will be made for some one to
take these locks and dams.
Major Powell says that he does
not care if they are a little
slow ia getting done as to COM
plete the lower ones first will be
full of advantage to both the govern
ment and contractor since it would
reduce the cost Of transportation very
materially

in town it will be seen that the

coming very active. There never
was as much changing hands and
the prices were never better than
they are right now. That they will
get better in the future is believed
by everyone who is at all conversant
with the conditions now prevailing
and with what is to come.
