Snake Rock Again Busy.

1t is no rare thing for fruit trees to
blossom again and berry vines to bear
a second crop, but never before in it's
history has the Van Ripper snake rock
near Goshen, N. Y, been reported as
purging itself in the fall. Heretofore
the annual reports of these purging
have come with the warm days of
spring. The Van Ripper snake rock is

what as follows:
He was going early one morning in
spring along the road that passed in
sight of the big rock, lying in field a
few rods away, and he saw a snake
coming out a assure in the rock. 1t
was milk snake. Abe had been to a
barnraising somewhere, and had stayed
to enjoy the festivities, but even then
he thought nothing on seeing that milk
snake wriggling out. When he saw
three more milk snakes he began to
rub his eyes and look around a little
wild.

again and saw snakes coming out of 1t

deal was consummated this after
noon by which the Farmers Advocate
and the Kansas Farmer will be con-
solidated under the name of the KAN
sas Farmer company, the former
paper passing out of existence as far
as its identity is concerned. The
Kansas Farmer and the Farmers Ad-
vocate are two of the Oldest and
strongest publications in the middle
west.
The Kansas Farmer was founded
shortly after the civil war and the
Advocate has been in existence since
1875, the two publications having
been closely identified with the farm
ing interests of Kansas since their
first issues. For some time past the
Farmers Advocate has been issued by
the Western Printing and Publishing
company with Albert T. Reid as
president
This company has purchased the
holdings of the Kansas Farmer COM
pany and the two papers will be con-
solidated adopting the name of the
oldest concern, the Kansas Farmer
company. f. B. Cowgirl, president of
the Kansas Farmer company, Will re-
sign and his place will be filled by Al
bert T. Reid, though Mr.. Cowgirl
does not leave the new company as
he will remain on the editorial staff.
T. A Borman, who will be editor in
chief of the combined publications
will be elected as a director in the new
company to fill the vacancy made by
the resignation of Mr.. Cowgirl. The
capital stock of the company will be
increased to something like 100000
though part of the increase in stock
will be kept in the treasury of the
company.
The combination will give the new
Kansas Farmer a circulation of from
sixty to seventy thousand subscribers
in the western country and make it
one of the strongest farm papers in
the west. Mr.. Reid who becomes
president of the new company, is well
known in Kansas and besides his
newspaper holdings in Topeka is
editor of the Leavenworth Post.

After His Triumphal Entry In

ROUND OF THE CITY.

Makes His Headquarters at a
Private House.

Port Au Prince, Dec. 5.-The revo-
lutionary army 5000 men strong,
marched into Port Au Prince at s
o'clock this morning. General An
tome Simon was at it's head and he
was given an ovation by the people of
the city. The entrance of the soldiers
was orderly and discipline is being
maintained.
General Simon was received at the
outskirts of the city by a delegation
from the committee on public safety.
The welcome of the people was Of
hcially conveyed to him and he was
offered magnificent crown of palms.
Accompanied by his personal escort
and followed by a large crowd cry
ing Long live the president" the
general made his way to the cathe-
draL where he assisted at the cele-
bration of a tie deum. The service was
conducted by the archbishop.
Upon emerging from the cathedral
the ovation in honor of the success
full revolutionary leader was redou-
bled. The bells of the city rang out
and the drums and trumpets sounded
the salute that is used only to well
come the chief executive of the Hayti-
an republic. After leaving the church

to the national palace and establish
himself there but on the contrary the
general finally halted at a private
house on the Champ de Mars, where
he established his headquarters.
General Simon's position undoubt-
edly is very strong and there is great
likelihood of his proclaiming himself
president of the republic If he takes
such step however, there is every
reason to believe that General Le-
contez at Cape Haytien. General
Firmin at Gonives and General Fouch-
ard, at Jeremie, all aspirants to the
presidency will enter a vigorous pro-
test and that an outbreak of civil war
fare will follow. The hope of peace
rests in the holding of free elections
and it is believed that General Simon
recognizes the wisdom of such a pol
icy.
The rebel army has occupied the
various barracks. 1t consists of in
fantry and cavalry. The latter branch
is commanded by a son of General
Simon. The infantry is almost en-

WHERE MORGAN GETS in
Financier's Son-in-Law Now in the
Navy Department.

~ Washington. Dec. 5.-As Truman H.
Newberry takes up the duties of secre-
tary of the navy, Col. Herbert L. Sat
terlee steps into the shoes of Mr.. New
berry as assistant secretary of the
navy. In this way J. Pierpont Morgan
will be indirectly represented in the
councils of President Roosevelt, for
Colonel Satterlee is his son-in-Iaw.
The colonel is a member of prom
inent law firm in New York, but is
far more widely known through his
marriage to Mr.. Morgan's eldest daugh-
ter, Louise. The wedding, which took
place November 10, 1900, was one of the
most brilliant and costly affairs that
ever took place in New York city. 1t
is estimated that more than half a mill
lion dollars were spent in preparation
for the wedding, and the presents given
by the father to the bride. Mrs. Sat
terlee, who is to become one of the pop
ular bellies of Washington society, trav-
eled q great deal during her girlhood
with her father, visiting kings and
queens of Europe and being received at
court upon many occasions.
Colonel Satterlee has been interested
in naval affairs for many years, and
during the war with Spain was con-
nected with the bureau of navigation.

Francis Joseph Celebrates Semi Cen
tenniaI OF His Reign.

Vienna, Dec. 5.-December mark
ed the fftieth anniversary of the ac-
cession of Francis Joseph to the
throne of Austria Hungary On that
day he relinQuiShed his reign of q
half century to the younger and more
energetic hands of Prince Ferdinand.
1t is the wish of Francis Joseph to
make Prince Ferdinand regent, but
so popular il the aged ruler that the
people will not listen to it and he must
nominally remain the head of the gov
that for some time past Prince Fer
dinand has been actively in charge.
Since the days Of Charlemagne this
dual kingdom has never witnessed a
more peaceful reign than that of the
present emperor and especially during
his subjects fairly and has been an
international power.
Fifty years ago, when the new en-
peror came to the throne, his first
duty was to put down rebellion of
the Hungarians. This he did after a
series of battles and the following
year they were under his power. Ten
years later occurred the war with Sar-
DINA and France. By this war Lom-
bardi was surrendered to the king of
Sardinia In 1857 the title Of the en-
pire was officially changed to the
Austro- Hungary monarchy. AS re-
suit of the Turkish war in 1877, the
monarchy was intrusted with the adj
ministration of Bosnia and Herze-
govina, which provinces were recent
ly annexed to the monarchy. For the
last 80 years the country has pro-
crossed financially and is today much
more strongly united than ever be-
fore.

all over. He turned to run, he said,
when he saw a man driving along the
road. Abe hollered to the man to help
him. Snakes were coming out of that
rock from one end of it to the other
milk snakes, blowing adders, black
snakes, rattlesnakes, spotted snakes
and striped snakes. Abe Van Ripper
and the other man, so Abe said, club
bed 200 of them to death and went their
way. How many snakes escaped the
clubbing they did not know. The rock
shed as many as it had the spring be-
fore, and it has been doing it every
spring since. The theory is that after
the seasons campaigning the surviving
snakes and their progeny creep back
into the rock at night for their long fall
and winter sleep, for no one has ever
seen any snakes go in.
And now along with the reports OF
fall poisoning fruit trees comes the
surprising report that the Van Ripper
snake rock is purging itself again this
year.-New York World.
