was dead. The case is one of the most
remarkable on record, and the physl-
clans confess themselves unable to ex-
plain it. Eta was about II years old,
and up to Jan. she was strong and full
of life. About the first of the year the
child seemed to be literally overlooking
with aniaml spirits,
She became so bosterous that her
mother chided her. The child told Mrs.
Moody that she could not keep still
The mother watched the child closely
for two weeks and not once did she see
the child at rest At night she would
toss on her bed, complaining that she
could not sleep. Eta began to grow
thin from the constant motion, and
the physician was called. He said the
child was suffering from disease OF
the nerves, but that she would out
grow it. On April 20, however the dis
ease assumed a violent form. For sew
eral hours on that day the child was in
commissions and screamed in agony.
Finally the commissions ceased to rack
her and she became speeches. and mo-
tionless. Since April 20 the girl lay on
her bed utterly Obvious of those about
her. Her eyes were closed and her
breathing regular, but otherwise she
was as the dead She was lifted about,
but never gave way to any indications
that she was conscious. She took no
nourishment, but she gained flesh.
The child continued in this condition,
being carefully watched until 3 o'clock
last Sunday morning. At that hour
the watchers saw shudder shake her
body. She sighed, opened her eyes and
said naturally to her mother, who was
near: They are coming for me NAM
ma"
"Who?" asked the mother.
"The angels" said the child.
The girl began to talk of where she
had been and what she had seen dur
ing her long trance. She acted and
talked as one who had returned from
long journey. At 1880 o'clock, while
in the middle of an animated descrip-
tion, the child cried in ecstasy: I'm
going back, Kiss me, mamma" Then
she fell back her breathing ceased,
and 10 minutes later the physicians
pronounced her dead
The child was buried Tuesday after
noon, although many believe that she
had fallen into another trance. The
physicians, however, applied death
tests and are certain that life has fled

THE INCREASE IN PRICES OF BEEF
An Agricultural Department official As.
signs Different Causes

washington April Ian official OF the
agricultural department. discussing the
recent increase In the prices of cattle,
which Ii said to be the primary cause
for the increase In the price OF beef In tho
country, says that II may be oeeasioned by
the decreased corn crop of the past few
years. The falling of Of the corn crop
in the opinion of the official may have
had more TO do with the rise than any
thing else Lack of principal food for cat
tie may have induced stock rHisers 10 put
upon the market more cattle than former
Iy. Another reason for the decrease In
the number of cattle is given In the fenc-
ing In and the closing up of many OF the
stock ranges and ranches. The settlement
of western states By small farmers has
made stock raising In great herds less
profitable and IL is said that the increase
Ia cattle has not nearly kept pace with
fhs increase In the population of the
connary When the price OF cattle was
very low and the market was crowded. Ii
Is supposed that the stock men sold, not
only the steers. but large numbers Of fe-
males. which would tend 10 check the
increase In the following years. The com
petition In cattle from Argentine and Au-
STRATA has been something OF a drawback
TO cattle men In tAia country. In both
countries cattle cRn be raised much more
caeaply than In the United States The
xrAat plains of these countries have not
been invaded by settlers. The cattle may
roam at Will, as they did for . years In
