All the West Virginia congressman
are preparing to make the remaining
postoffice appointments in their re-
lspectiye districts within the next six
weeks For, with the exception OF
Nj. Hughes, who will viii continue in
! Office after the fourth of March, mona
of t..4m will have any further OPP
lportunity to make appointments.
The consequence Is that the next SIX
weeks will be a busy period with the
West Virginia congressman.
The situation in the First district
lis peculiar. While no appointments
have been made upon the recon-
mendation OF Congressman Hubbard
for some time, it has been rumored
FOR several weeks that the appolnt-
lmeat OF two men he recommended

soon be made. They were expected
some days ago, but were not made

OF Practical Nature Will BE
Considered by Regents !.
at Charleston.

The state board of education will
meet in the capitol January 90 and
~. The board is composed 81
State Superintendent NJ. ',P. shawkey
sIDr. J. \. Deahl, of the West vir-
ginia University; Prof. U. s. Elem.
ing, of Fairmont; Principal l.. b.
Hill. of Tyler county high school.
Middlebourne; Superintendent Ira
d. Bush, of Parkershurg, and super
iRtendent c. Il. Murray, OF william
son.
In the week following. or from
January % to 81 inclusive, the
state board of regents viii be in ses-
zion at Charleston, at which time
several important matters viii be
taken up. Among. these viii be the
quet!on of establishing a school Of
practical mining at the West vir-
gIn!a University, with course Of
two years and cover mine 1'foFemau,
fire boss, etc. The establishment Of
this school is certain to he adopted
by the regents, aud the legislature
will he asked in the recommends
ton of the regents to appropriate
money for tie establihment of such
a branch. The plan is also urged
by John LANG, chief of the depart
nnent ofmlnes, ho'believes it would
be dsEk of the very best moves the
state could take, since mining is one
of the principal Industries of the
state. II is not the plan, says those
who are advocating this school, that
n person go to this school of prac-
tical mining for two years and then
be given a certificate emitting him
to hold the position of mine fore
man II, any mine in the state. They
will be required to spend at least six
months in the mine, performing
practical work during the two-year
course.
From what can be learned, all the
members of the state board of re-
gents, and they are B. Finley, of
/.
Parkersburg; NJ. @. Lough, of Fair
mont; G. A. Northcott, OF Hunting
ton; Superintendent George S. Laid
ley, of Charleston; and State Super
intendent of Schools NJ. P. Shawkey,
all are in favor of starting such a
school of practical mining and be-
lieTe that the state university would
he the proper place for it.
Among the other questions to
before the regents will be the To-
Gazing of the Concord normal school,
recently destroyed by fire. AT least
eight towns or villages have filed
witit the board of regents petitions
urg,Ag the location of the institution
. in This or, THAT place, but it is hardly
pro3al,le that the board will take
any dsGinite action-that Is, say it
should be located at any particular
one place, since it cou'd not settle
the question, and would have to go
10 tho legislature in any event.
Among the places, in addition to
Athens Mercer county, where some
of the structures are still standing.
and where the school has been To-
Gated ever since the establishment Of
the Concord Normal school, are Oak
