 The quality of whiskev sold in Kan sas through the joints and by travel ing boot leggers was revealed Monday at Fredonia when, under the order oI Governor Hoch, 513 cases of beer and 5000 bottles of whiskey were publicly destroyed in the court house square while band played temperance melo- dies.
 The contents of the bottles were poured into the sewers and yesterday V the people of Neodesha, a few miles below, complained of the contamina- ton of the water by this liquor which poured down Fall River and into Neo- desha's service pipes.
 When the thousands of bottles were broken q carload of them were thrown in a heap in the court house yard. What beer and whiskey remained In the fragments of bottles trickled through the grass across the court yard, making. 2 path several feet wide. dead grass, which had been green the day before. A dispatch from Fredonia says the grass is dry enough to burn. This furnishes striking testimony of the quality of liquors now being sold in kansaS.

In fact, there were ovations evr anywhere, and he seemed thoroughly to appreciate them. His speeches were timely and well said, and he at all times gave expression of his pride that Southern blood coursed through his veins. That MT. Roosevelt is a man of courage and very great ability is every where conceded, and that he is honest in his purposes IS a matter, too, that can not be denied. We are willing to forget one unfortunate performance, if in the future he shots the proper re- spect for this. part of the country, and persists in his determination, as we think he will. to be the President of the whole people.

 We can but admire the grit of John H. Patterson, President of the National Cash Register Company. a concern which gives employment to thousands of working men. The Typographical Union of Dayton, O., made demand for a closed shop and an eight-hour day and demanded that employers of all kinds of labor should agree to it and sign a contract to that effect. In an address to his employees he said:
 This factory and all its welfare work may sink into oblivion, it's buildings may stand here and rot, with the doors locked and the machines idle, before l will be low enough and mean enough, or such a traitor to you people, as to sign such contract as that which is offered us by the Typographical Union.
 There spoke man who knows what Is right and dares to stand up for his rights. It is just the reply that every employer of labor ought to make to such outrageous demands. and if they would do so. the laboring men of the land would once more be free instead of being bound thralls of the unions.

The AnaIysis of Dreams.

"The topic of dreams will recur, no yesterday. ] " But 5I in ali mems % experi- ences nothing has happened to disprove one common rule of the mental phe- nomenon. This is. that the vision Is traceable to some event or incident in the past life of the dreamer You will find many people who are slow to be, find by an lysis of every dream they have that there Is a remote explanation for it. It is not necessarily a recent experience that furnishes foundation for a phantasv in sleep. In fact, as for myself. I rarely mingle my recent experiences in dream but each vision nearly always springs from some action or stimulus of the senses that occurred days before.
 "The reason that some are not in- clined to accept this explanation for dreams seems to me to be that they do not take the time to recollect things. There Is a whole lot of rummage in the makeup of a dream but they repre- sent some pre-existing fact in your life" 7"
