WHERE is BOSTOCk?
Mysterious Conduct of the Deputy Inter-
nal Revenue Collector.

nal Revenue Collector
Deputy Internal Revenue Collec-
tor Harry Bostock disappeared last
evening under circumstances which
have thrown about the case an air of
mystery, exciting much alarm on the
part of his family and personal
friends, and occasioning consider
able interest as far as the general
is concerned.
When Mr.. Bostock left his home in
South Rock Island at 8 O'Clock YES
terday morning he told his family he
intended going to Peoria during the
afternoon, and would not be home
before Saturday. Nothing was
thought of this, as it was his custom
in the discharge of his official duties
to make extended trips out of town,
but last evening when his son got a
letter out of the postoffice from him
under Rock Island post mark of I
p. M, and took it home to his
mother the latter was greatly sur
prised and alarmed at the contents,
the purport of which was to
bid his family goodbye. and
to give instructions relating to
the answering of letter to
his aged father in England There
were two things about the letter that
Mrs. Bostock was incapable of I'M
derstanding. The first was that ii
was an unusual thing for him to
write before going away, es-
pecially as he had babe his
family farewell in the morning
and the second was that while he had
begun it in his customary flowing
hand, the last page was written very
hastily, in fact, the missive being O
the nature of Il final farewell. Tn,
letter bearing the postmark of Z p
m. would indicate that he did not eX
lpect his family to receive it until to
day. 1t was directed in care o
Thomas Downing, his son-in-law
who also lives in South Rock Island
Had young Bostock not happened t.
be in the city last evening, the fami
| ly would not have received it unit
today.

ing decided the Worlds fair directors

inson, Henrotin, McNally aad Kerfoot
to be fined $1,000 each and stand
committed to Jail until the fine was
paid. In the case of Director Victor

ficer voted the belief that the injunc-
tion had lapsed, and was not inten-
tionally guilty. In view of this miti-

r. Davis was held less directly re-
sponsible and fined $3.50, with the
