THE REAL JEFFERSON.
How Many of Those Who Call His
 Name Profess His Views?

How Many of Those Who Call His Name Profess His Views? Speeches at the Jefferson day ban quets from different parts of the coun- try strikngly illustrate the confusion which exists in the democratic mind. Put together they form crazy quilt,
 or a remarkable Kaleidoscope. It seems almost pity to desecrate the work and belittle the reputation of the great Vir- ginia statesman in this way Jefferson was a man who did noble service for
 his country and people in his day, but
 the people are not the same and tKe is-
 sues are not identical to-day, and one must feel an amount of pathos In wit messing the efforts of democratic poli- ticians to fit his views to their virie- gated lsms and policies. If party must have a screen to hide behind, it would
 be we'll to seek some other than the author of the Declaration of Indepen- deace.
 Jefferson does not belong to any party; he is the proud possession of the whole American people; and to give him the credit for this or that political quackery is to spread false impression among the people and distinctly lower his reputation. The democratic party
 has been prating about Jefferson for
 years-in fact, ever since it ceased to
 be party of definite aims and consist
 ent principles. There appears to be

EMPEROR rALKs WITH eoLovIN

 President of Duma Believes Reaction
 ary Campaign Has Not Affected the Czar.
 St. Petersburg, April 24.-The confid- ants of NJ Golovin, president of the lower house of parliament, are very reticent regarding the details of the audience he had with Emperor Nicho- las yesterday, but it is learned that the discussion was. frank and unreserv- ed. The emperor spoke his mind free | ly and showed himself to be well post ed on the transactions in parliament. He criticised M. Golovin's actions, questioning his impartiality in allow ling much more freedom to the radicals than to the conservatives, mentioning particularly several speeches of. M. All exinsky, social-democrat, which the emperor said should not have been per- mitted.
 M Golovin, in his defense, pleaded his difficult position as head of a radi- cal parliament at the present time.
 Various features of the ministerial programme were discussed but there was no hint of a dissolution of parlia- ment, and the difficulties between Pre- mier Stolypin and the lower house were not mentioned
 M. Golovin, previous to departing, alluded to the importance of direct re- lations between the monarch and the head of the lower house of parliament, and said he hoped the emperor would receive him again The emperor as- scented, and explained that his delay in granting the president an audience was due to the pressure of affairs.
 In the opinion of M. Golovin the re- actionary campaign against parliament has not made any headway with the emperor.
 l Many provincial governors have ar rived in St. Petersburg to support the movement of the reactionists in favor of dissolution of parliament on the ground that the debates are causing dangerous agitation and ferment. This, 1t is alleged, is especially noticeable in the provinces, where the agrarian dis orders of 19O5- occurred.
 The panicky feeling among the lib- erals in regard to the possibility of a dissolution of parliament has subsided owing to the cordial manner in which the emperor received President Colo win.

 powder where bullet entered his brain Another ball pierced his heart. Miss Stroup's body was lying a few feet away, face downward, and it part ly blocked the office door. Blood was flowing from a wound in her left side. Ross had seated himself in large chair and apparently while talking to the girl had placed both hands in his trousers pockets. The girl wore long black kid gloves, but before doing the shooting had slipped both her hands from them and they hung loose from her bloody wrists. It Is thought she walked over to the chair in which Ross was seated, and, shielding the cal- ibre revolver with her dress, fired the first shot at his heart. Apparently he never moved, as the position of the body was natural when found. Wish ing to make sure of her work, the girl fired two more shots, one taking effect in the neck and the other entering the brain. Standing over her victim, she then shot herself through the heart. The revolver dropped from her hands and was found near her body.
 Miss Stroup was born in this county twenty eight years ago. Both her parents are dead and she is survived by one sister and two brothers who live at Coal Hill Ross was son of Mir. and Mrs. J. D.

WRECK ON THE B. & o.
Chicago Express Crashes into Penn
 syIvania Freight Train.

Pittsburg, April 24-The Chicago ex- press on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad which left this city for New York at 10.45 D. m. was wrecked tonight near Bennett station, on the West Penn. division of the Pennsylvania railroad shortly after Il o'clock. Bennett sta- tion is about ten miles east of here.
 The express crashed into a Pennsyl- vania railroad freight train.
 The passenger engine and the ca boose of the freight train were demol- ished.
 A misunderstanding of signals, it is said, caused the wreck. The Pennsyl- vania freight train was proceeding slow, east on the main track The Baltimore & Ohio Chicago express fol- lowed on the same track and overlook the freight about a mile east of Ben net station. The engineer and fireman of the express seeing a collision was inevitable jumped, Both the men land ed in Girtys run which flows on the south side of the tracks. The caboose of the freight train which fortunately was unoccupied was crushed to pieces.
 Before abandoning the train, how ever, the engineer applied the air brakes, causing the train to come to a sudden stop. A majority of the pas- sengers in the Pullman sleepers were thrown from their berths sustaining bruises but none were seriously in- jurei.
 Had the express left the rails and plunged into Girty's Run many lives would have been lost.
