Dreams Explained.

"Dreams," says an eminent lecturer
on theosophy. consist of recollections
of the combined impressions received
and workings of the physical and as
trail minds. The SOU and subconsciOus-
ness are independently active. and it is
the confusion arising from the con-
founding of the thoughts Of the soul
with the exaggerated Interpretation of
Impressions received by subconscious-
ness which makes it 81 often impossi-
BILE to remember Dreams"

CORN IN PLACE OF COAL
Farmers of Central illinois Use Grain
For Fuel.

CHARLESTON. ILL. Jan. M.-During
the cold weather. when coal trains were
being held up by the bankers and lead
ing citizens OF tho small towns ia central
Illinois. many trainers who lived at con-
siderable distances from these towns
were compelled 10 burn corn for fuel,
Many OF the farmers whose coal bins
had been swept clean OF every particle
Of fuel, had well-flled corn cribs. and
thoy did not hesitate In their dire neces.
glty to resort to burning tho grain.
Corn has been selling in this section OF
the State for 80 cents a busheI. Hard
coal delivered In barrels by the express
companies, has cost as much an sl8 and
$50 ton Only few were able to get
the fuel even at hat price. There was
nothing left for them TO do but TO draw
on the corn cribs Corn makes u poor
substitute for coal, and II IS expensive
fuel, but the farmers thought It better
to use it than to freeze.
Many Of the farmers who were forced
to burn corn were among tho wealthiest
land owners. In tho country few miles
from here physician found family in
q luxurious home, huddled around crate
4 IN which corn was being burned. The
family had been depending upon corn TO
keep them warm for several days, and
said they had not suffered from tho cold

OF q century that tho farmers haye had

r. r. Robertson and Attorney e. e.
Sapp Came to Blows.
Attorney Edward E. Sapp was as
saulted about $50 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon by r. F. Robertson In front
of the building formerly occupied
by the Blue Point restaurant, between
First and Second streets on Main.
The cause for assault il said to have
been for repeated utterance by SapP
that Robertson would be run out OF
town and also, 1t ie futher under.
stood, by reason of the fact that Ill
feelings have existed between the
two men for some time.
Sapp was passing in front of the
building as Robertson was coming
down the stairway leading to his
Office which is located over the meat
market, when Robertson assaulted
him. Sapp was knocked down and
in falling It is thought his head
struck against the building and a
cash an ipch or 30 long was cut
below the left eye and a cash III
inches long an top of his head.
After he was down Mr.. Sapp re.
ceived several more blows and his
left hand and arm were bruised con-
siderably. Mr.. Sapp's wounds bled
profusely and he was placed in q
cab and taken home. After Mr..
Robertson's anger subsided he
gave himself up to the officers and
gave a guarantee to appear in
court.
