GRAND OPENING READY
The Hartman Furniture g. CARPET Co.
to Hold Formal Opening Tomorrow
Store at 22-24-26 Fifth Street
S-Souvenirs, Decorations
and Music.

The Hartman Furniture & Garnet
Company, whose coming to Minneapolis
has been much talked of in business
circles, will celebrate their opening to-
morrow in their large and commodious
quarters at 22-24-2e Fifth street S. It
promises to be, the most brilliant af.
fair of the kind ever held in the twin
cities.
The Hartman concern is of unusual
size, having twenty-five great stores
throughout the United States. Their
opening in Minneapolis is, therefore, of
extraordinary Importance.
MI. Hartman, president of this great
company, has been in Minneapolis for
several days, completing the final az
rangements, and will personally con.
duct the affairs Of the opening.
This store at Minneapolis is expected
byyz by the hed to be 95e Of the
In their chain Of stores Mr.. Hartman
said, In an interview today: We never
opened a store before with such per.
feet confidence Of success. We are
much impressed with the enterprise of
Minneapolis and the thrift of it's peo-
pie. We firmly believe that the new
ideas and new methods of retailing
Minneapolis will meet with spontaneous
something they re not used to, viii
show them what great, generous
housefurnishing establishment can do
in a community that appreciates pro.
gressiveness, honesty and liberality.'
this new store is worth a special effort
to see on opening day. Everything for
the modern home is shown and every
thing is very prettily arranged.
The store itself is very attractive.
have been worked out and the whole
effect is something not seen heretofore
in Minneapolis.
The full First Regiment Military
Band has been engaged to furnish music
for this occasion during the day and
evening.
A SOUVENIR is to be presented to
every lady caller. The article to be
given is a handsome Cream Pitcher,
in a beautiful cut.glass pattern. Every
girl or boy attending will also be re-
membered. To the boys and girls will
be given an important toy, called a
" cricket" It is a novelty and, being
a noisemaker, is sure to please the little
ones. .-.

Constitutionality,

There being nothing wrong in principle
with order No. 7s, let us now examine
the particular charge Of unconstitutional
ity which the Parker constitution club"
sets forth.
The club finds President Roosevelt re-
sponsible for the order, and finds that it
contravenes article 1 Of section 9, which
drawn from the treasury but In conse-
quence OF appropriations made by law"
History and the public records con-
cerning order 7S show that when it was
made congress was in session; that the
order was made March Is, 1904, but was
not to go into force until April 13. 1904;
that 1t was Immediately reported to con-
gress with a request that $1,500,000 be
appropriated to carry the order into ef-
feet. The sum estimated was embodied
In the pending deficiency bill and came
up for quick discussion. AS order No.
7S had been made under and by virtue
Of authority granted by congress-, there
was then one Of three courses to be taken
by congress-. First-It could deny that
the authority was granted, deny that the
order was legal and refuse to pass the
appropriations. Second--It could repeal
the law and abrogate the order. Third
1t could recognize the order as legal and
valid and vote an appropriation to carry
it out. - -
Congress, after hearing what every
body had to say, took the third course
and voted the S1,500,o00 to carry it out.
Congress having approved the order
and voted the money, the pensions began
to issue under the order and to be paid.
How Was Money secured2
How did the commissioner get ;. the
money to pay those pensions? How did
he get it out of the treasury? Did Mr..
Roosevelt go to Mr.. Shaw and treat him
like Caesar did Metellus and take the
money from him? No. Did the commits
sioner open the treasury with crowbar
and abstract the money? No. Well,
how was it? Let us ask Mr.. Shaw. He
will say that not dollar has gone out of
the treasury without an appropriation
bill passed by each branch Of congress
and signed by the presiding officer Of
each body.
When order 7S was issued democratic
newspapers offered four remedies-the i'm
peachment Of the commissioner; the dis
missal Of the commissioner; mandamus
to compel the commissioner to do his duty
as they understood 1t, and (4) an injunc-
tion to restrain action on order No. 78.
The passage of the appropriation bill
recognizing the legality Of the order and
be the to to ear it out ended
posed.
This brings us around to the proposition
stated by the Parker Constitutional
club, report No. II 1T reads: I'VE find
that President Roosevelt deliberately dis
article 1, section 9, of the con
stitution, providing: No money shall be
drawn from the treasury but in conse-
quence of appropriations made by law"
submit the proposition to any black
smith In tho TInitad Sfnfoc vrifb
confidence that he will see where that
eminent body of lawyers mistooz the
meaning of that comprehensive document.

the, jail the first installment Of break
fast for the prisoners, and was on his
way out when Wilson and Ryan
emerged from their cell, sneaked up
behind the officer and struck him VIC

The blow for moment dazed the
deputy and Ryan and Wilson hurried
out Of the corridor toward the street,
but before they had proceeded far
Crooks recovered sufficiently to follow
them and fred five shots at them.
A crowd speedily gathered and set
out In pursuit Of the fugitives, both Of

gas pipe and the saw or file with which
to cut off the bolts to their cell is
mystery.
