Mr.. John H. Kellam. of whose mys-
FERROUS disappearance from his home In
Chicago we gave an account last week,
returned home after just a months alb
sence. His experience was very singu-
lar, not to say mysterious. He says he
has no recollection of anything from the
day after be left Chicago until the day
before he returned. He remembers dis
tinctly of getting supper at restaurant
the evening he left Chicago, but does
not remember any thing that occurred
= for the next four weeks except that the
next morning after he left the city he
sat on the platform at some railroad
station, very sick, and vomited freely
The next he remembers he was in a
farmers front yard. near Macomb, Ill.
1t was Norwegian settlement, and on
cnquiring he ascertained the nearest
railroad station Give miles) and got con-
veyed there and took the train for Chi
cago. When on the train he bought a
newspaper, and by its date realized for
the first time how long he had been alb
sent When he left home he had about
, $1,000, and he brought back about 1000.
No explanation is given for this singular
experience, and the reader can draw his
own conclusions. His family as may be
imagined was greatly relieved and re.
t joiced by his safe return home.-Cole
