WHEELING, w. VA. Jan. 24.--Only the
three bodies thus far have been recovered
at the Newburg mine. Many difficulties
are being encountered in the recovery.
The exploring party has been able to
enter the main heading only 800 or 400
feet The work is being pushed as
expect to reach the point where the
men are supposed to have been work
ing at the time of the explosion
and recover more bodies to-day. Fears
were felt that another explosion might
take place on account of the rapid accu.
mutation of gas, but the repairs
making to the yentilating shaft
will lessen this danger. This morn
ing an excursion party of six
mining experts descended the shaft and
remained down for two hours. Richard
son, one of the experts, reports the place
full of gas and in dangerous condition.
The experts have decided that In
order to recover the bodies without
causing further explosions, il will
be necessary to rebuild the broken bulk

Catching Pigeons.

The ground being cleared, the chiefs
stationed themselves at distances all
round large circular space, each con-
cealed under low shed or covering of
brushwood, having by his side net
attached TO long bamboo, and in his
hand q stick with tame pigeon on q
crook at the end OF it. This pigeon
trained to fly round and round as di-
rected by its owner, with a string at its
foot thirty feet long, attached to the
end of his stick. Every man flew his
pigeon, and then the whole circle
looked like place where pigeons were
fiocking round food or water. The
scene soon attracted some Wild pigeon,
and as it approached the spot, whoever
was next to it raised his net and tried
to entangle it. He who got the great
est number of pigeons was the hero of
the day and honored by his friends
with various kinds of food, with which
he treated his less successful COMPETE
tors. Some OF the pigeons were baked,
others we're distributed about and tanned
for further use. Tanning and excercis-
ing them for the sporting season was a
common pastime.-SamoG Hundred

The News OF Waterloo.

A year or two ago an enterprising
French publisher got out reprint OF
the London Times of June %, 1915.
Although its four pages are but sixteen
inches long by ten in width. their con-
tents. more than their small size, form
a contrast to the mammoth Times of
to-day. In place of being a record
of national humiliation, they tell
of England's Growing mercy"-the
victory of Waterloo.
The Times correspondent on this oc-
casion was the Duke of Wellington.
It's only account of the battle is his dis
patch to Lord Bathurst. the chief of
the War Department, dated Waterloo,
June 70, 1915. This dispatch, which is
comparatively modest in tone, occupies
nearly the whole of the second page,
but the account of the battle of Wa
terloo fills less than column. The
rest is devoted TO the actions at Ligny
and Quatre Bras, to subsequent mill
tary movements, and to short list of
the more distinguished persons who
were killed and wounded. In refer
ence to the part the Prussians took in
the battle, the Duke SAYS:
II should not do Justice to my feel
ings or to Marshal Butcher and the
Prussian army if / did not attribute
the successful result of this arduous
day to the cordial and timely qs- stance
received from them.
