PLANS A HUSBAND BOUNTY.
Japanese Government Proposes to
Reward Girls Who Marry Col=
lege Students,
Maidens of Japan who succeed in
interesting young Japanese students
long enough to induce them to get
married will be rewarded in the near
future with matrimonial dowries by
the mikado’s government if the plans
of leading Japanese statesmen prove
as successful as expected, according
to Secretary Yomma, of the Japan-
ese consulate in Chicago, reports the
Chronicle.
What led the secretary to make the
announcement as to the prospective
husband bounty bill was the pub-
lished account of the lecture in which
Prof. Starr, of the University of Chi-
eago, made the sensational state-
ment before his class in anthropol-
ogy that the marvelous advance of
the Japanese in the learning and civ-
ilization of th: western countries had
proved too rapid and was making
them the victims of an epidemic of
brain fever that threatened their ex-
tinction as a nation.
“Statistics show that students in
Japan are affected more by eye trou
bles from overstudy than by brain
fever,” said Secretary Yomma. “It is
true that our young men very
studious, but our young women are
not expected to be scholars. They
are encouraged in the cultivation of
feminine graces and charms, and it is
becoming a fad with some of our
statesmen to advocate a liberal mar
riage bounty for the maiden who
proves herself sufficiently fascinating
to cause a young man at college to
forsake his books long enough to get
married.”

A Horribly Mangled Corpse Found.
At about 4:30 o’clock Thursday
Pennsylvania Railroad Track
Steinberger found the horribly
corpse of a man lying on the eastbound track
about a mile and a half west of Bainbridge.
The body was completely in two and the
parts were badly cut and crushed. The
victim of the accident was judged to be a
a man about thirty-five years of age, five
feet six inches tall and of a stocky build.
The body was attired in dark clothes, of
character that would stamp him as a me-
chanic. He had a sandy mustache,
brown and gray mixed hair. There was
nothing in the dead man’s clothes to lead
to an identification, and it is not known
how the accident happened. The track
walker took the body to Collins’ Station
and Deputy Coroner S. S. Steffy, of Baing
bridge, held an inquest. The body is in
charge of Undertaker Hawthorne, of Bain-
bridge.

A Mild Winter.
Farmers in this district are not worrying
about the rise in the price of coal nor are
looking well to their woodpiles. They
sure the winter is going to be mild
that precautions against extreme cold
be unnecessary. These predictions
based on the fact that the hornets are build-
ing their nests close to tf8ground.
Old farmers say this ij a never failing
gign of a warm winter With little or no
snow. When the nests ade built only on”
stout trees, high from the ground and close
to the trunk, then the following winter will
be a rough one and there will be plenty of

A Snake Surprised Him.
Last Friday Clayton, son of Isaac 8. Wit-
man, of near Milton Grove, had quite a
surprise. He was chopping wood and in
splitting one of the largest pieces he came
across a black snake, which was huddled
together in a hollow part of the log. The
snake made its way out and was about to
escape when Clayton with a well-directed
stroke with the axe dispatched it. The
snake measured full two feet,
