has five big stores in that city alone,
the main store being at 223-225-227
and 229 Wabash avenue As promising
fields developed in other cities, Hart
man stores were established in these
respective localities. But all ventures
were cautiously made, and stores estab-
lished only after careful investigation in
each case. Mr.. Hartman Is good judg-
ment in selecting new fields has never
yet failed him.
Mr.. Hartman is now able to put in
practical service his early plans Of the
economies possible in the operation Of
series, of stores. The Hartman
stores operate several factories of their
own and are thus able to cut out the
furniture jobbers profit, and sell their
goods at a low figure, and yet with a
fair margin for themselves.
The success of the Hartman store in
Minneapolis has dated from the very
day of it's opening, Oct. 2, '04, when
10000 visitors inspected the establish
ment. Frank d. Rubel, as manager Of
the store, has proved himself fully equal
to the task. He has shown capacity
for making friends both inside and out
| side of the business. He tries to make
point of becoming personally ac-
quainted with each and every custo-
mer. In addition, he has proved him
self a most liberal minded business man
by taking an active part in public af-
fairs, in his interest in the welfare Of
the city, and in his support of every
good and worthy cause.

MILITIA BAT Terry TO
GET Z MODERN Guns
North Dakota Adjutant General
Secures Promise of Equipment
for Lisbon Company. 81.
Special to The Journal.


Bismarck, n. D., March l7.-Adju-
tant General Creel has announced that
he has arranged with General Crozler,
chief of ordnance of the war depart
ment, to furnish the North Dakota bat
terry, at Lisbon, with two modern guns,
free Of any cost, except the charges for
transportation. It was for time be-
lieved that the battery would have to
be mustered out, as the requirements OF
the militia bill called for modern equip
ment and the state was without funds
in it's militia appropriation, sufficient to
properly fit out the battery. AdJutant
General Creel was formerly classmate
of General Crozier and when he laid the
situation before the chief of ordnance,
|sthe latter agreed to- send two modern
32 caliber guns, without charge, pro-
vided the secretary Of war gave his ap-
prevail. This he is expected to do. The
guns cost about $4,000. Adjutant Gen
eral Creel announces that he has pur-
chased large. supply Of blank ammuni-
ton for use in these guns and for in
fantry use. This will be expended in
extensive maneuvers this year at the
annual encampment. His plan contem-
| plates work along new and up-to-date
lines and after it is over, the militiamen
will know something about actual field
| work. 49,.

the senate from all parts of the country.
The senate is just at present going
thru a period Of the most bitter de-.
nunciation it ever has encountered, and
there is grave danger that it's hold
upon the public confidence may be per-
manently shaken. Tt was this thought
which induced it tospermit roll call
on the pure food bill a few weeks ago,
and similar reasons may in the end
bring roll call on the free alcohol bill.
If the bill can only reach a vote it's
friends will be satisfied, for it will pass
almost without dissent. The diff
Guilty will be to prevent the bill from
suffering the same fate in committee
which recently befell the Philippine
tariff bill.
MIR. Marshall, on the whole, regards
the situation as being satisfactory. He
has heard of the Standard Oil oppo-
sition, and he knows all about the Aid
rich influence in the senate. Still, he
holds that the public, : if sufficiently
aroused, can bring to bear sufficient
pressure to overcome anything Aldrich

an active hand in opposition to the
proposition now pending before. the

The Standard also brought pressure
TO bear upon certain New York dailies,
which were at first inclined to favor the

of this pressure, maintained discreet
silence. on the subject, and editorial
articles, in proof, advocating the propo.
Pition, were destroyed.

tournament here, made the cold
stager,' J. F. Poggenburg, look like

at the present contest.

Demarest had placed s2O8 buttons to
his credit, while Poggenburg had but

being 26, much the highest of the tour
nament.
Poggenburgs who aholds high average
position for the series SO far, realized
that he could not beat the boy, and
fearing for his average standing, gave
his entire attentions to playing safety
regardless of his own scores. The re-
suit was that Demarest's average fell
off badly, altho he won the game, beat
ing his, opponent practically 2 to /.
The final score was: Demarest, 800;
