THINKS SHE’S IN HEAVEN.
A Pennsylvania Girl’s Remarkale
Feats While in a Trance.
Special Dispatch to the Globe-Democrat
Harrisburg Pa. February 11.—
John Bodmer an employe of the steel
works at Steelton near this city has
loug been known as the wickedest
man in Steelton. He has a wife aud
two daughters one a strikingly
beautiful girl of 15. Some weeks ago
Rev. D. W. Keefer pastor of the
Church of God at Steelton started
revival meeting iu his church. The
Church of God is one of the many
curious religious denominations pecu-
liar to this order of Pennsylvania. It
is of the Dunkard order and evangel-
ical in the strictest sense. In some
way “Wicked John” Bodmer was
induced to attend one of these meet-
ings and he became interested in
them that three weeks ago he was
converted. John Bodmer's conver-
sion was followed by a tremendous
religious “awakening” and the little
church at Steelton has since been
crowded nightly and 200 converts
have thus far been made.
As soon as John Bodmer “received
the blessing” as the term is in the
Church ofGod he began laboring with
his two daughters to induce them to
follow his example and they finally
attended the meetings. A week ago
Friday night both “received the bless
ing.” A few minutes after Lillie was
converted she fell into a state of
trance. Her eyes became fixed and
lier form rigid at though in death.
As this condition is a common one
among “mourners” when they re-
ceive the blessing in the Church of
God nothing was thought of it. She
remained in the trance so loug how-
ever that she was carried to John
Parthemore’s house not far from the
church where she has lain ever since.
She has returned to consciousness
at intervals but is unable to stand or
see. She insists that she is in
heaven and that all about here are
angels. She has taken no nourish-
ment in all that time except the
juice of two or three oranges and a
dish of ice-cream. Her cheeks re-
main full and are high in color. The
most curious part of the phenomenon
is that the girl—who is hardly able to
read and who her father declares
has never to his knowledge seen the
inside of a Bible because he never
had one in the house until his con-
version—in her conscious moments
refers to chapters in the Bible and
will repeat passages nearly literally.
She answers rationally all questions
put to her but frequently while talk-
ing the singular rigor overcomes her
and she sinks back into the trance
state.
On Thursday she came out of the
trance and said: "Auntie will be
here at 3 o’clock.”
An aunt of hers lives in New York.
No one expected her in Steelton that
afternoon but on the arrival of the
train ar the hour mentioned by Lillie
she appeared at the Parthemore house.
Soon afterward the girl mentioned
the name of a neighbor and said she
was fetching her some ice cream.
Lillie has frequently come out of a
trance and said that such and such
persons were in Steelton Harrisburg
and other near-by places and inquiry
elicited that such was the fact al-
though the girl could have no knowl-
edge of it.
Several Harrisburg and other phy-
sicians had visited the girl and stud-
ied the case but are uuable to ex-
plain the phenomenon by physical
laws. She complains of no suffering
but her words and the expression of
her face denote the greatest peace and
happiness.
Hundreds of people from the village
and the surrounding country have
flocked to Parthemore’s house to see
the girl and the profound impression
it has made is manifested by the
throngs that besiege Pastor Keifer’s
church nightly seeking religion. The
pastor spends most of his spare time
at the side of the Bodmer girl. He
himself seems overwhelmed over
what he calls an “awful demonstra-
tion of the divine spirit.”
A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life
It was just an ordinary scran of wrapping
paper but it saved her lite She was In the
last stages of consumption told by physicians
that she was incurable and could live only a
short time; she weighed less than seventy
pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she
read of Dr. King’s New Discovery and got a
sample bottle; it helped her. she got a large
bottle it helped her more bought another and
grew better fast continued its use and is now
strong healthy rosy plump weighing 140
pounds. For fuller particulars send stamp to

Unbounded - Confidence!
In the Progress of San Antonio.
WE had it when we came here. It grew with our residence and our savings and
when our bank account had reached the respectability of being a modest sum we
pinned our faith to good judgement of San Antonio people and risked our hard
earned roll on the turbulent ocean of commerce. We expect to make even more
progress in the future than we have in the past. We return thanks to the public for the
large trade with winch we have been favored in the past years and beg to announce that
we are going to enlarge our store to double its capacity. Dirt will be broken in ten davs.
We must dispose of a large portion of our stock to make elbow room for the builders.
TO 00 THAT
We are turning our entire stock over to consumers with a total disregard for profits; added
reputation for reliability and lowest prices is to gain enough at present.
