MRS. WEsTRoPE TELLsoF CRIME

Port Gibson, Miss, ,June1 9. Since
Mrs. Westrope has been captured and
taken to the home Of her parents, she
has talked quite freely. She says
that she had nothing whatever against
her husband, and that she deliberately
killed her children for fear that if
left in thisw orld, they would not re-
ceive proper attention as she has seen
how step parents have made practice
OF not caring for children.
Physicians who have attended the
wounded woman, state that her
wounds are not necessarily fatal,
though owing to the warm weather,
combined with her bad health, her
chances OF recovery are doubtful.
There is 10 doubt whatever that
Mrs. Westrope committed the awful
deed while temporarily deranged.
In conversation with next door
neighbor of this unfortunate family,
he stated that there was money in
the house and this was secured by
Mrs. Westrope before she set fire to
her home. 1t was also reported that
she told her husband that he could
collect her life insurance, which
would reimburse him for the property
destroyed by fire. Mrs. Westrope also
stated that she slept in the graveyard
for the purpose OF witnessing the
funeral of her dead ones and then
she intended committing suicide
over their graves

EXPERT JOHNSON ISSUES TIL
THIRD OF HIS CROP
BULLETINS.

A. J. johnson, of Meridian, has is
sued the third Of his cotton letters as
follows:
Dear Sirs THE past two weeks,
ending Saturday 14th, have not been
beneficial to the growing crop, in fact,
it is more probable that some damage
has resulted, from the excessive high
temperature and extremely dry atmos-
phere, III some sections accompanied
by the most damaging of all weather
conditions, viz: hot winds. While
dry weather is usually considered es-
sential at this season of the year,
plain candor requires an admission
that too much can be had.
Nothing Of a serious nature has SO
far resulted from this dry, hot spell,
which has been very general, but the
situation is becoming Every alarming,
and rain must be had very soon IN
the copious counties, otherwise the
crop will begin to rapidly deteriorate
from the brilliant prorgess attained
up to June 1st.
Complaints are numerous from all
sections and where there is such q
unanimity of expression it is we'll
enough to at least heed them for it
must not be forgotten that brilliant
prospects can be easily shattered after
certain period has been reached and
it is we'll enough that the two largest
crops ever produced were in years
that showed very heavy rainfalls IN
the month Of June. Texas for instance
made her largest crop in 1900-1901
and none Of US have forgotten the dis
astrions oyerfows that took place in
that state during the spring and sum-
mer Of 1900.

course Of the weather after the un-
favorable turn since june 1st has at

HOME OF THE POLAR BEAR
Seas Around the North Pole Set Apart His
Reservation.

The arctic regions are very thickly
populated this season, for arctic re-
glons, yet 1t is safe to say that of all
the living creatures that haunt the
frozen steppes there IS only one that
one that knows where the pole Is To-
Gated
And that creature is the polar bear.
Nine feet long, weighing over a ton,
big woolly, white and intrepid, he
moves along the ice foes and swims
through the open seas with ease, while
the travellers freeze in their warmest
of winter camps or go to pieces liter
ally between the floating chunks of ice.
The polar bear is the biggest of his
species; he is likewise the most intelli
gent. Though born in the arctics he
is not content to remain there and
often he takes expeditions south-for
all the world is south of him-and
looks for other lands.
The dwellers of Iceland have fire.
quently seen the polar bear on their
shores, he having come down on
floating glacier, and the people of Den
mark love their folklore in which the
terror that stalks by night is bear
who Travelled all the way from the arc
tic circle down through the North Sea
to the coast upon cake of ice, going
through the Skager rock past the
Danish fishermen.
As many as twelve in a year have
Anadarko daily democrat. [volume] (Anadarko, Oklahoma) 1901-190?, 1902-03-20

come down to Iceland and hundreds
have swum and journeyed by ice to
other southern points.
So ambitious is the bear and so AK
plorative that Australia is the only
country on the face of the earth that
does not know him when it sees him
and Africa is quite familiar with him.
In the Rockies we have the grizzly.
Yet the polar bear is not exactly like
the grizzly. nor is he like the honey
bear.
But he eats honey and for this pur-
pose he has long very supple tongue,
which can slip into the comb aud bring
out the honey even as a horses tongue
can lap itself around cake of sugar.
He eats meat also and when at home,
near the pole, where he keeps house
all the year around he gets his food
by fishing for IT. He sits upon an ice
berg and watches the water below.
When seal or big fish comes swim
ming toward him he drops his paw
into tne water and brings out the ami
NAL.
The claws of the bear are always
spread. He is a great big fellow with
spreading feet, many-toed, each tipped
with sharp claw. which is always
spread out. Unlike the cat, he cannot
withdraw his claws.
He is an excellent climber, the bear,
and goes up a tree prettily. When he

polar bear with much reverence and
they do not kill him unless compelled
to do so for food. When they have
slaughtered him they tell each other
that it was by accident and they kneel
upon the ground and with uplifted
chins apologize to the Great White
Spirit for their foul act.
Then they rise and, having eaten a
bear steak, which is very good broiled
upon the snow by the heat of a few
dry twigs, they cut up his valuable
body.
The polar bear is a lonely creature
and it is not to be wondered at that
he will attack strangers when molest.

The polar bear is a unique feature
because so seldom seen, but that he
exists there is no doubt. 1t is pre-
dicted that, as he breeds slowly and
one by one. he will some day become
extinct, for the arctic travellers sub.
sist upon him.
But the day of his extinction is prob
ably afar off, for the explorers say
