We have before called attention to the species of insanity which induces the. votaries of Christian Science to allow th ir sick t: suffer death, in 'roe hit tances from contagious dis ase.c, without calling to their aid the tkill of the physician. - Another glaring instance of this class of f lly occurred the night at Omaha. A after Ihri.-tmagassoline stove exploded in the home of Judg- J. W Eller, and himself, hi wife and two members of his family were terribly burned Instead of falling in a physician, they sent for two Christian Science healers, who piayed over them and assurred them that they were not suffering. On the following day Mr. Eller died in fearful agony, and the others were Euflering terribly, with nearly certain death awaiting them. The citizens were about to adopt some method of compelling the family to sut mit to the attendance of a phjsici&n. "How men and vomcn,Vane in other respects, can still profess faith .inthe healing --virtues-of Chaistian Science, and assume that they are sufiering no pain wheu every nerve i racked with agony and the burned flesh is dropping from their bones, passes the ordin ary understanding. s, - 4 ' i i We publish in todays issue the prediction of Sir William Crookes inhabitants of the that the earth are on the verge of a dearth of wheat. He claims thatnot only England, but all civilized countries stand in deadly peril of not having sufficient food to eat; that as months multiply, food resources dwindle; that instead of having a reserve supply of wheat we are face to face with an annual deficit; that wheat lands are rapidly failing in producing capacity, and that unless ome method such as. he suggests of producing' a cheap and effec- -- and4be-availabie-area- for ' pessimistic view than that' expressed by Sir William; still, it is u rid en i a bly t rue th a ft h e 16 n continued drain on the soil caused by the repeated planting of wheat, must eventually exhaust it unless the elements of ' which it has been robbed are restored to it. Sooner or later the farmers of Utah will be brought to a full realization of this truth, and more scientific methods will become imperative. Cache county would be one of the last places to feel the effects of a general bread . famine, stilly- - Sir Williams predictions have suffifact to induce cient foundation armors to doome thinking before the time arrives when the matter is forced upon their attention by great crop reductions. . A MEAN SLANDER. The Logan Journal says McCune is an able man. Possibly that is the reason why the Journal considers him qualified to become a member of the national millionaire? club, commonly known as he United States Senate.How big is McCunes barl, anyway? If the bung is really out, some of our contemporaries should be able to furnish the information. Several of them appear to have McCuns on the brain. Make hay while the eun shines, boys. The barl will be plugged up tieht before long Utah State Journal. The foregoing contemptible insinuation should not pass ' un. noticed.- - If the State Journal means to insinuate that this paper is advocating McCunes election as Senator because of- any money that the State Journal imagines has been or will- be paid to this paperi the State Journal liesj with malice aforethought. This paper is advocating McCune because he is, in our judgment, the best man for the place. And for the information of our reckless and suspicious contemporary we will atate that with theexceptioiTof a, few extra copies of the Journal, ordered after its first support of McCune and paid for at our regular price, we have not directly or indirectly ever heard of any proposition from McCune or any one else looking, to payment for our advocacy of McCune for Senator. Neither do we expect any such proposition to he made, or in any way he rewarded. Will the State Journal now publish this straight denial of its insinuation ?andwhileHJs about it,will it just make a similar denial for itself in reference to Mr.. Cannon? - - home. As at present arranged, the crops are all in before the boy comes home in the summer, and before harvest time arrives he is off again. The only farm work he can assist in is in irrigating or haying. Besides, the school year is so long that when he returns homd his muscles are soft, and I ( have noticed- that in many stances he has lost all inclination for the ork of the farm, which by the time he leaves college has so distasteful that he seeks a livelihood in some other pursuit; thus defeating the purpose of his parents Id sending him to college. With a six months course the in- -- be-com- graduatineperiod would be e defer- red for possibly twn years, but I could muen better afford to send my boy for six years under, those condions, than I can for four, as at present arranged. There are,' of course, many parents who can well afford to send their boys 4o school all the time, and for .them the full echool year is not too long; but I am convinced that there are so many situated as I am, and who feel as I do, that if a six months course say .from November first to May, first rwere, arranged, the ' attendance could easily be doubled.

We feel that this .is due to the liberal patronage of its friends and therefore take this opportunity, as the bell ot Father Time has toll- I ed the old years departure, to return our thanks to all who have supported the Institution and aided in its progress. Atthesame time we recognize the fact that these benefits have been mutual, because our stocks were selected with a view to suit the wautt, the tastes and the means of purchasers, and we have sought to make the lowestpricespos- sible, and thus our customers have shared with us In the" good results that have been achieved. The increase in our business shows the confidence reposed in us by our patrons, who naturally like to deal with an institution where no ad vantage is taken, where the child receives the same fair treatment as the aduff; whete honolahle dealing is the Ipvariable rule, and where the variety of merchandise is sufficiently great to enable the purchaser, to procure at BED ROCK prices anything needed in the household or on the farm. The agricultural and stock" ratsing' industries" f this county have been greatly prospered during the past year. We therefore confidently look fora still further increase of our business in this, the closing year of the nineteenth century. For this we are making the necessary preparations, and will have from three to five thousand dollars worth of last years stocks, consisting mainly of Winter Go ds to be closed out by the 20th inst., preparatory to closing our bo iks fir 'the year and to make room for our immense stock of Spring abd Trimmer 6oods, which will be selected from the best Eastern markets and factories, and at prices that cannot be undersold.
