The drilling was done by the Hope

work, the tools having been lost In
the well. The successful termination
Of the work was largely due to the
skill OF the driffers who stayed with
the job faithfully. The gas was struck
at depth Of 1900 feet. Much excite.

n The Normal Schools are getting
themselves talked about a great deal
since the board Of regents concluded
TO establish training departments
only ut Huntington and Fairmont,
The order Of the regents was re.
ceived with great gfee in the two
cities above named but there are Ia.
mentations from Wheeling, Athens
Shepherdstown and GlenvIlle. j,
While the regents have stated that
there was no intention to impair
the efficiency Of the four schools
It would seem that they have. AT any
rate the general impression is that
they will now be second.raters AMI the
West Liberty.Glenville, Shepherds.
town. Athens champions say they pre-.
fer no bread at all to half a loaf.
Another view of the action Of the
regents Is that they have sounded the
death knell Of all the Normals, wheth.
or Willingly or not. The regents may
wish 10 continue the schools but It is
up 10 the legislature to make the ap.
preparations. That there will be a
hard fight at the next session seems a
certainty.
The Wheeling lntelligencer has al.
ready pledged the five members from
Ohio county TO vote against any APP
preparation for the Normals until the
"odiolis' order Of the board Is re.
called. Doubtless the lntelTigencer
knows whereof It speaks. This seems
to make It plain that there is a will.
fngness to sacrifice the West Liberty
school rather than have II made a
second rater. s.,n
II the members from the other
three counties take the same position
there will be quite a formidable ar.
ray Of opposition to any appropriation
whatever. The members maybe able
to influence those who are not con.
cerned at all in the controversy. There
has always been some natural opposi.
ton to the Normals on general prlaci.
pies.
Legislators have been known to
trade votes on measures and the mem
bers from counties not directly inter
estel may be induced 10 dfcker. This
scheme will he particularly attractive
If the five from Ohio county act as
a unit. There Is danger to the Nor
mails. . ..-.... .-
The Mall has not taken sides in the
controversy for the reason that Our
constituents are not directly interest.
ed. Our position Is that there should
be square deal all around and that
as long as the schools are maintined
they should be made efficient. To
abolish them involves very serioas
question.
We have read with Il great deal Of
interest the arguments Of the Nor
gantown Post, the lntelligencer, the
Huntington Dispatch, the Fairmont
West Virsinlan aud the other news
papers that have taken up the cudgel
for and against the order Of the re-
gents. There appears 10 be two sides
TO the question. The newspapers and
the regents may not be able to set.
tie 1t but m agreement should be
reached before the legislature takes
n hand.-Charleston Mail.

Thinking perhaps that West Viz.
einia Is shy on the number OF Normal
Schools the Wheeling lnteligencer
to-day makes the number seven In.
stead Of six. After speaking in It's
ns1al complimentary way OF Fair
mont and Huntington It refers to the
remaining Ave as West Liberty, Shep
herdstown, Athens, Chenille and Con.
cord Normals. The latelligencer Itself
seems to stand in need Of a little
