 According to witnesses the young woman became hysterical and turning to her fiance demanded that he take back his ring. Then, witnesses say, when Mrs. Bianco saw her son refuse to accept the ring she whipped out a revolver which she had been hiding in the pocket of her heavy woolen petticoat and before any one could stop her fired point blank at her prospective doughter-in-la law.

PURCHASE NEW TYPECAST.
ING MACHINE
American to Install Model
Linograph, Replacing
Model I.

The publishers of the Ameri-
can-Petersen Bros.-left Friday
on a business trip to Davenport,
Iowa, returning home Monday.
During the stay at Davenport a
visit and inspection of the splen-
did new factory of the Linograph
Company was made and also a
new Linograph type setting slug
casting machine purchased.
The American purchased its
present Linograph type setting
machine more than six years ago
which was the first slug casting
machine to appear in Pine coun-
ty, and a worlds record was
then also created as it was the
first slug casting machine Of any
make to go into a village Of about
200 people. This machine has
served well, having run practical
ly every day excepting Sundays
and holidays and quite frequent
ly with two or three shifts
night and day-for more than six
years, which proves that it is a
durable machine TO stand up for
so much wear and tear. During
the six years, however. many inn
provements have been made on
slug casting machines and being
DESTROYS of having the latest and
most modern machinery with a
wider range Of work and greater
productiveness the American
traded in the Model / Linograph
on the latest Model 3 to better
care for the steadily increasing
business. The Model 3 carries
three sizes Of matrices from
which the type slugs are cast
and very rapid changes are made
from one size to the other. Be-
sides this two more sizes of
matrices and magazines were
bought for the American outfit,
thus enabling the setting Of five
sizes Of type-from 6 point to
Is point. besides large advertis-
ing figures
The Linograph Company at
Davenport is managed by three
Petersen brothers. one of them
Hans Pedersen-being the inven-
tor Of the machine. so this was
a case Of three Pedersens selling
to two Petersens. The Daven-
port Pedersens formerly all lived
at Minneapolis and are known to
many printers in the Northwest.

 Washington, D. C., March 2.- Senator John Sharp Williams of Mis- sissippi told Congress on Feb. 20, the day the filibuster against the ship subsidy started, why federal legisla- tors are justified in delaying legisla- ton. Following are a few excerpts from his speech:
 "This is the only democratic coun- try in the world where, after the people have spoken at an election and have clearly indicated that they do not want certain legislation, a major ity of left overs-1ame ducks,' as they are popularly called, why never knew-can proceed to put over legis- lation for the express purpose of de- feating the will of the people before the new representatives recently elected to take their places can take their seats and be sworn in. There are enough of the left overs to hold the balance of power in the voting"
 ''I voted for the joint resolution in troduced by the Senator from Ne braska providing for a submission to the people of a constitutional amend ment for the purpose of changing the time of the meeting of. the two Houses of Congress. I have been here now for nearly thirty years and have found that nearly every piece of bad legislation and about half of the crooked legislation is always put over at the short SesiOn of Con-

 'Wherever a great, vital, fundamen- tai constitutional question Is pre- scented and a majority is trying to override the organic law of the United States, then, 1 repeat, a filibuster is justihed.'
 There is another class of cases and that is when an accidental and incidental temporary majority in legislative body tries to forestall the future and defeat the will of the ma jority of the people as expressed at an election, and as will be expressed by majority of their recently elect ed representatives 1 dare say there is not a man in this body who will have the hardihood to say that the ship subsidy bill can pass through the next Congress"
 "Mr President, the immortality of this thing is great, if you think of it as a political philosopher loving democracy. It is unethical and i'm moral to put this legislation over at this session of Congress. It is trea- son to the spirit of democracy. There ought to be some way by law to punish 1t, but there is not Then, what is the next best thing? It Is to prevent it. Prevent 1t how? By every means within your power; that IS all"
