The anti-gambling lawjustgone
INTO effect is Il far reaching one.
1t not only cuts out gambling all
over the state but Il, prohibits
many games of pleasure, auch as
bowling, pool unless you pay for
your own cue whether YOU win
or lose, card playing and domi-
noes in saloons. Our little city
will feel the effects of this meas
ure quite a good deal for many of
our good citizens pass many
pleasant hours away with Il social
game with cards or deminoes in
our saloons, but this will be no
more as the penalty is too high
to make a test.

cBITTEN BY THE eILA.
Twoccases on Record Show the Deadly
Venom of the Monster.

Is the bite Of the gila monster,
Il tifrati curious ana repuisiye reptile OF
the southwest, fatal? Scientists
have doubted it, but a resident Of
Las Vegas, n. NJ, tells Of two men
who were bitten-one of them died
and the other narrowly escaped
He says; "The first man
was in Tombstone, Ariz. The gila
was tied by the leg in a saloon as a
curio and a drunken gambler named
Brown was teasing it. He careless
ly stuck his first two fingers into
its mouth, which Immediately closed
down on them and could not be re-
leased until the reptiles head was
cut off and the jaws cut apart.
Brown suffered horrible agony for
almost two days and in spite Of all
efforts he died.
'The second case was in the fall
of 1889. Walter Vail started from
the Empire ranch, near Benson,
Ariz., to ride into town on horse
back, some Is miles. A short dis
lance from the ranch a monster was
sluggishly dragging its way across
the road. Thinking to take it to a
friend he got down and killed it
or at least he thought he killed it.
To carry it easily, he tied it on his
saddle behind him, using his saddle
strings for the purpose. As he Hoped
along he thought to assure himself
it hadn't dropped off by reaching
around behind him with his right
hand and feeling for the monster.
at was there, and not nearly as
dead as he thought. His finger went
into the reptiles mouth clear to the
knuckle and instantly those jaws
with the long, sharp, daggerlikt
teeth closed on Wallis finger. With
his left hand he managed to get his
knife out and cut the saddle strings
and then had to dissect the head and
jaws to get his finger from theil
grip.
"Vail then spurred his horse into
Benson and found an engine in the
yards. In a few minutes he was or

PRESCRIPTION HARD TO FlLL.
Doctors Orders Had to Be Disregard

When we were house doctors 10
years ago in one Of the large hos

Herald Of that city, one of our NUM-
Der was at times inclined to imbibc
too freely when he had an evening
free from his surgical duties. One
night he came back to the hospital
at II o'clock, and though perfectly
able to walk, his brain was a bit be-
logged.
AS was usual, he went the rounds
of the wards to see if his patients
we're comfortable. One Of them
complained of pain and the doctor
wrote a prescription in the "order
book" for the nurse to give the pa
tent, and then went off to bed. AS
was customary he made a morning
visit before the arrival of the head
surgeon, and as he reached the bee

LIQUID OF IMMENSE VALUE.

A Hungarian chemist named
Brunn claims to have discovered a
liquid chemical compound which
doubles the density of nearly every
kind of stone and renders it water
proof, and imparts to all metals
qualities which defy oxygen and
rust. While travelling in Greece
some rs years ago he noticed that
the mortar in stones of ruins which
were known to be over 1000 years
old was as hard, fresh, and tenacious
as if it had been made only a year.
He secured a piece Of the mortar.
and has been working on it ever
since until now.

hauling a table to the middle of the
cellar, reached up and fastened one
end to a rafter. Then making q
moose he placed it over his head and
threw himself from the table. His

in glee, thinking that Charles was
only making the scene realistic
