 His Old Home.

hfs ttiu ttotHe.
 HIELsBoRo, Ills. Nov. 15.-L Ike a return of the dead is the homecoming of George Ragan of Holland, small village east of here. Fourteen years ago Ragan packed his satchel at the old homestead farm. and so far as his relatives and friends knew he departed for Springfield, Ills, to attend a busi- ness college. He did not arrive at the college, and in short time his disap- pearance was heralded throughout the press of the country as one of She mys. terious events of the time. Mr. Ragan saw these notices, but he did not con- sider the matter of sufficient impor- tance to tell his people where he was or to tell those where he was of his identity.
 He states now that when he departed from the farm he went to Colorado, and finally settled down at Pueblo, where he still lives, having now wife and three children. Last week he was in Chicago, and happening" to think of the old home at Holland, he says he concluded to pay it a visit. Reaching there he went to what was the home of his sister, Mrs. John Gallaher. He found that lady had died during his ab- sence. MT. Ragan is now owner of several mines, and is engaged in the mining business extensively. He gives no reason for his strange departure and silence since, but finds number of rel atives to welcome his return.
