It Is alleged that crime HguliiHt women have become much Icbs frequent In all parts of the south where prohibition has been enforced and thut the traffic in vile liquor nan been largely reiqionHlble for the com mission of such crime. That "respectable" whites will not be forced to totally abstain from in toxicants under a prohibition regime In evidenced by the large number of "prescriptions'" which have been filled by druggists of. the towns now presumably "dry." Charlotte Is point ed out as an example of this method of evasion, since nearly 40,000 medical prescriptions ' for "booze," mostly In pint and quart quantities, have been filled In the last year. The "Jug houses" of neighboring states have also served to ameliorate the arid con dition In the "dry" counties and they will doubtless contlnus to do an even more flourishing business under the prospective prohibition regime. Halelgh, X. C, May 25. AnotheY state may be added to the total "dry" area on the temperance map as a re sult of the special prohibition elec tion to be held In North Carolina to morrow. While the "wets" have made a desperate battle, It Is consid ered almost certain that the prohibi tionists will win a sweeping victory and that all of the saloons In the Old North State will be forced to close .n nmon,,(, hv . nn their doors on January 1 next, when j ference commUoe to eliminate Idaho the new law will become effective.

A Gila monster, direct from the desert of Arizona, wus received yes terday by a representative of the Cap ital News and Is now attracting con siderable attention In the show win dow of the Hullou-Latlmer drug store, says the Boise Capital News. The Gila monster Is one of the most deadly species of the lizard tribe and the only one known to have venomous teeth, which, when once closed upon Its victim, never releases Its grip un til the death struggles are over and several cases have been known where r.ien have been bitten on the fingers and were obliged to sever the member from the hand in order to get rid of the poisonous lizard. Although Its bite In nearly every ca."e Is fatal, and In three minutes time will penetrate the entire system . causing 'ho victim to die in awful agony, but little attention Is paid to . the lizard by Inhabitants of Arizona, for It will never bite unless disturbed , Secretary ., u,,,iK slow and sluggish one can 1 represent- get out of its way with but little dif ficulty. Years ago In the early days of the Arizona territory these lizzards were quite numerous and people not being generally informed- upon its deadly poison bite, many victims died fror the effects of Its bite until its name became known throughout the west and strangers going on the desert al ways have a dread of being attacked by the monster. Now the species has become scarce and although many are still found m the vicinity of the Gila river, It Is a curiosity at Arizona cities and ro ptietors of curlu stores, drug stores and other business houses readily pay from 3 to $10 for a good specimen. It Is stated by the pioneers of Ari zona that the Indians of the territory got their Idea of war decorations from these lizzards and when bedecked with their hideous stripes the designs painted resemble the stripes of the Gila monster.
