TRADING STAMP SYSTEM.
The Courts Hold That Contract Is Not
Binding.

Binding.
That the trading stamp system is
opposed to the public good is evidenced
by the fact that court decisions have
been made to the effect that it is moth
ing more nor less than lottery, and
that a contract entered into by mer-
chant to use the stamps is not binding
A case of this kind came up in Kan
sas CITY recently. Brown Brothers.
grocers, had entered into a contract
with the Merchants Supply COMPANY
which was at the head of the stamp
system in that city, agreeing TO pur-
chase stamps of the company and to
give them out to their customers when
they were asked for. After signing the
contract the grocers learned that the
stamp company had thoroughly can
vassed the town and persuaded all buy
ers to demand the stamps. This made
it necessary for the merchants to give
a discount on their goods not only to
new customers. but to their old estab-
lished trade as well.
Finding that this was too BURDEN
some, they refused to give the stamps
any longer, and a suit was brought by
the stamp company to compel them to
carry out their contract The court
held that the stamp system was in the
nature of a lottery and that the con-
tract was therefore illegal and not bind
ing.

EPPERSON KILLED.
A Jockey WHO Was Well Known In Butte
and Anaconda.

Jockey WHO Was Well Known In Butte
and Anaconda.
Jockey John Epperson, who was
stabbed to death Tuesday night in San
Francisco by James Gilligan. was we'll
known in Butte. For the past two rae
ing seasons he had been conspicuous
figure on the tracks. Last summer he
rode a number of hurdle races. The
man who killed him was also here last
summer. He worked for Trainer Will
Jams, who had charge of the Ryan sta
BILE and Stotesbury's Silver II. He was
exercise boy. Neither of the young men
We're considered quarrelsome and the
tragedy was a surprise to their &C.
quaintances here.
-Four years ago Epperson won a race
al Anaconda, just before the close of
the meeting. He rode George L., and it
is said he won about $500 on the race.
Henry Williams. George Rose, brother
of Lee Rose OF California, and Tom
Heating also rode in that race. 1t was
what is called heavyweight" race in
which heavy jockeys rode. The next day
he left the city and it was said that
he went to Portland. He used to say
that he owned a ranch near that city,
He also talked about a valuable eX-race
horse that he kept on the ranch. He
called him Hello. Epperson was about
IS years old, and it is believed by his
friends here that he WAS married, as
he had often spoken about his little boy.
OF late years he had ridden but little: at
one time in his career, however, he was
considered to be a tirst-class jockey. He
was seen here for the past or 10 sea-
sons, the last two of which he only rode
the jumpers. It is believed that the
Rose referred to in the San Francisco
dispatches as living in Granite is not his
wife

Then Solomon said: $50 long as I live

words, adding, however, after booze "as

ENLIsTING FOR THE PHILIPPINES,
Good Progress Being Made In Getting
Soldiers for the War;

Good Progress Being Made in Getting
Soldiers for the War.
The enlistments for the 27th and 2sth
regiments progressed as usual yesterday
and today.
capt. Beatty was at the Washington
Light Infantry Armory enlisting for the
18th Regiment, and yesterday swore in ten
men, ten others passing the doctors in
spection. That makes fifty-three men who
nave been enlisted for Capt. Beatty's COM
pany, and eighty-two who have been en-
roled since the work of enlisting was be-
gun by him last Saturday morning
capt Graham, who is enlisting for the
%th regiment, received four enlistnents
yesterday, making a total of forty-seven
men since July Ii. Up to last Friday GA
men had been enlisted for the eth Rcgi-
ment.
In all these cases about 80 per cent of the
men nave seen service in the army, nearly
an OF them having been in Cuba during the
spanish war. The men enlisted by Capt
Beatty average twenty-five years OF age
while those enlisted by Capt. Graham aver
aS1 I"ehty-seVen. The youngest man in
the former regiment is twenty years Of
age, while in Capt. Grahams cnlistments
the youngest recruit is eighteen
The love of adventure is shown TO be the
strongest attraction of these recruits as
over 90 per cent of them are holding very
good positions, number of them being in
government employ. Stories of hardship in
the philippines have no fear for them and
they are all anxious to get to the front and
to take part in the fighting that is going on.
