HEAVENLY VISIONS.

a Young Girl COmmun1nG with Angels
While I'm . Trance
READ1zG. Pa, March 22-Nellie
Hemmlych, q pretty dark haired girl of
"A, is now lying in semi-conscious con-
dition ut the residence of Frederick
Relnhold, of 92S North Sixth street, this
city. Her limbs are perfectly rigid, and
she has at times the semblance of death.
At intervals, when her mind is SUN.
GENTLY rational to enable her 10 speak
IntellIglbly, she gives vivid pictures
of heaven and the appearance
of the angels. Since her baptism
last Sunday 10 the ice water
of the Schuykin river she has labored un-
der intense religious excitement, result
ing in this terrible comma. Rev. Mr..
Musselman, of the Evangelical Mennon-
tie church, the girls pastor, is in con
stanr attendance st her bedside. He
said to-day: Il have no doubt Nellie is
in exactly the same condition as was St
John, the Evangelist, when he witnessep
the wonders of the other world describen
ia the Book of Revelations 1t is gIved
to but few people TO behold
such manifestions, and believe that
little Nellie is divinely favored.
She is now having a glimpse Of the
great beyond, so tnat when her spirit
returns to earth she may tell me and
her other friends that which awaits us
all In one of her lucid intervals the
young girl said to me: Il can see Jesus
and many beautiful angels. l don't
want 10 come back to earth. Tee an
gels have crowns of gold and stars on
their heads. The music is grand, and
the streets are all paved with gold.'"
The girl has never been familiar with
| the Scriptures, but she now relates many
| Biblical facts that she never knew be
fore, and shows startling familiarity
with the prophecies of the Old Tesla
ment aud their wonderful word painting
The language she now uses is far above
any ever heard from her lips before
Great numbers of people come to thu
house daily, and the wonder is spread
ing through the surrounding country.

An Ohio farmer writes that the so.
called foot and mouth disease IN Kansas
prevailed in parts of Ohio in February
and March, 1916, causing some cattle
men a loss of 20 to 80 per cent. of their

and was attributed to an unusual quaint
ty OF ergot in the hay, especially in or
chard grass. It disappeared with ths

ToPEKA,skas., March 4.-GoV. Click
is making arrangements to have an ex-
animation, by competent veterinary suE-
geons, of the cattle disease In Woodson
county, to set at rest the meOted question
whether it is genuine foot and mouth
disease.
DIR. E. Salmon, DR.. A. A. Holcombe
and DIR. Hopkins. Of Montana, will
probably constitute this commission,
which will fully and thoroughly
investigate the disease. For
this purpose animals will
be inoculated and kept by themselves
while healthy animals from distance
will be placed with the herds that are
affected TO test whether the disease can
be thus taken by co-habltation. Sheep
and pigs will also be inocnlated.
One strange thing about the ergot
theory which is advocated by DR.. Sal
mon Is that it has not produced abortion
IN o single case. The result OF this in

lie with great interest.

Indians is that Charlie McComas was
never seen alive after the nlngt in the
