MERCHANTS MAY
FORM STAMP ASSN
MOVEMENT ON FOOT IN THIS
CITY TO ORGANIZE A MER-
CHANTS TRADING STAMP AS
soclATioN--MEETIN PROB
AHLY EARLY NEXT WEEK.

Several business firms in the down
town district are very enthusiastic at
present over the plan Of forming a
Trading Stamp association Of their
own. The plan as Outlined by the
merchants now Interested claims to
be on g. safer and broader formation
than anything that has been attempted
heretofore.
The most beneficial points promised
the customers are that under the new
plan their stamps are redeemable in
cash or premiums at any time and
the party who purchases. the goods
and receives the trading stamps viii
not have to wait until they have pur-
chased 500 worth Of goods before they
can secure premium or IL they fail
to save the required 1000 stamps, find
that they can secure nothing.
Those that are the most enthusias-
tic over. the proposition claim that in
many states the legislative bodies have
enacted state laws that compel trad
ing stamp companies and premium
parlors to redeem trading stamps in
cash and thatunless all trading stamps
have fixed cash valuation that there
is little or no chance or those that
save stamps OF getting something for
nothing.
The objection raised by these mer-
chants to buying other stamps seems
to be that the merchant must pay for
every stamp that he gives out and that
only small percentage OF the custo-
mers who receive them save the re-
quired 1000 stamps that entities them
to premium and that where they
don't neither the customer nor the
merchant is benefited and that in cases
OF. this kind the stamp firms are great
ly enriched by those that lapse or fail
to secure the required number.
The plan as talked by the merchants
is to organize an association similar to
the merchants rebate association and
the premiums to be furnished by the
merchants from their respective stocks
OF goods and to be paid for pro-rata,
according to the amount OF stamps CIV
en- out by each individual firm.
The scheme seems to be safe and
sound one and meeting will be held
the early part OF next week. as soon
as the commercial club rooms can be
secured for that purpose.

MANY or THE INMATES OF FAR
COS HOLLOW DISTRICT SEEK
REFUGE HERE AND THE Po-
LICE PROVIDE LODGING AT $40
PER NIGHT.

Inhabitants OF Fargo's tenderloin
district and their despicable consorts
made determined effort last night to
establish themselves in Moorhead,
but Chief of Police Malvey would have
none of 1t. He got wind of the game
and put out his lines in various direc-
tions with the result that from differ
ent lairs he and his men escorted TO
the police headquarters eight women
and eleven tin horns and something
much worse. The woman's room was
capacity full and so the overflow had
to be given hunks in the general cell
house. The women had their best
fall wraps on and three of them pre-
sented very swell appearances. The
men were herded together in the bull
pen," despite their expressions of in
digE alton, but neither words or sym
pathy were wasted on them and the
fellows were soon becalmed. This
morning the women y ere fined $40
each and the men IS each and as
usual the women had to pay the lat
ter. Chief Malvey gave the prisoners
to understand that all OF them must
leave town by the first train, or heavy
fines would be imposed.

a Pleasant Trip.
Millbrooks, N. Y,

June 2S.
To-day l passed through a pleasant
experience. Starting at 900 from historic
Bennington, we ran to Williamstown
where we got a glimpse of Williams
College thence through Lanesboro'
whence SO many pioneer Vermont
families, including the Squires, emigrat-
ed-to Pittsford, the shire town of Berk-
shire County. AT Pitts field we were
given a real New York dinner at the
Maplewood Inn /; and at 2 100 started for
Lenox. For thirty miles we passed along
roads hard as adamant. oiled with crude
petroleum and therefore dustless,-a
monument to the enlightened and pro-
gressive public of Massachusetts,. On
either side of us were magnificent
country estates framed in the green of
the Berkshires From Lenox we drove
to Stockbridge, the home of the famous
tribe of Indians, now the abode of a
richer tribe of New Workers, skirted the
Housatonic through Great Darlington
and Sheffield and then hurried through
Canaan to be in Lakeville for dinner.
After dinner we ran across the noun
tains To Millbrook, only fifteen miles
from Poughkeepsie, having travelled
over hundred miles through four states,
and passed one of the greatest automo-
bile roads in America. We made the
trip without delay or accident. To.
morrow we start early for New York.

TRAMPS AND ROBBERS,
This Side of the State Overrun
by Crooks and ldIers.

There seems to be Il regular plague of
tramps, crooks and strange gentry of all
kinds in the Champlain Valley this sum-
mer. Various depredations have been
committed of a more or less serious ma
ture. At Pittsford and Fowler Sunday
night burglars broke into the railway
stations. At Pittsford they gained en-
trance by breaking windows, but did
not secure anything At Fowler about
SS was taken from a money drawer.
Proctor station was broken into the same
night, but nothing was secured there.
For some time back the officials of the
Rutland road have been getting letters,
signed by parties as "Black Hand. {"
These letters have been insistent upon
having the road leave sums ranging
from $4,000 to 100000, the money to be
left at the south end of the high bridge
at Brooksville, a signal of a white flag
to be left there signifying the exact spot
where the money was to be left. 1t was
found that many of these letters were
mailed at the New Haven postoffice
From the style of the instructions it was
evident that the writers were more or
less conversant with the railroad busi-
ness. The letters stated just what time
the train bearing the booty was to leave
Rutland and what time the same would
reach Brooksviile.
On Sunday afternoon the private car of
the railroad officials, carrying the officers
of the road, with Chief of Police Whitta-
ker of Rutland and several detectives,
arrived at the designated spot, but there
was no white flag in evidence; and no
sign of anything unusual in the neigh
borhood. On Monday the railroad office
received another letter, stating that the
conspirators had not had the timeSun-
day to place the signal, and repeated
their previous demands, threatening
damage to the railroad if refused.
On Tuesday afternoon at the same
time the Nehasanee, bearing officials and
police with detectives, arrived at the
trysting place, and saw the white flag in
the designated spot. Immediately the
whole posse left the car, with instructions
to detain every person in the vicinity on
suspicion. They succeeded in getting
Edward Gero, aslocal celebrity in New
Haven; the drag-net also brought in two
tramps, one of whom, with Gero. was
brought down to Rutland. Two tramp
printers were taken in later.
The letters received by the railroad
officials have in every case been signed
"Black Hand" In each is the threat
that if the funds are not forthcoming the
railroad will suffer from damage done to
bridges, etc. 1t is difficult thing to
find the source of these missives, but it is
not unlike that local talent, cooperating
with strange gentry from abroad, have
gotten together to do mischief. Beldens
station particularly has been thronged
with with tramps of all descriptions lately.
The spot where the signal was placed
can be seen with a glass from hills two
miles distant, and it would De an easy
thing to place the flag, and then from a
long distance note the result.
