Smith told Long who the man was

part this information to the sheriff. All
he would say in his letter was that the
man lived in an eastern city, and that
he left an estate worth large amount.
The burglar carried off the mans viii

from Long certain other facts. He then
went to the penitentiary and found

He was received from Hall county on

He KnOws-Wants the
Reward.

Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 1S.-A miners
confession OH his deathbed in the Klon-
dixie, and communicated by the only
person who heard it to the authori-
ties of Nebraska, now gives promise of
solving the mysterious murder of some
wealthy man in Il city in the United
States. 1t is suggested as a possibility
that Amos ]. Smell, the Chicago mil
liOnaire who was supposedly slain by
Willie Tascott fifteen years ago. was
the, victim involved in the miners con-
fessiOn. Sheriff Branson, of this coun-
ty. several months ago received a let
ter from II. ID. Long. mailed at What
com, Wash. Long wrote that he had
just returned from Alaska. At Daw-
son City he had met a man, who pre-
ferred. for reasons that subsequently
developed, to be known as John Smith.
Smith Makes Deathbed Confession.
They became well acquainted, and
later, when they met at Circle City,
agreed to go out prospecting together.
While they We're out in the gold fields
Smith contracted pneumonia and died.
On his deathbed Smith confessed that
he had been implicated in murder
years before. He told Long all about
1t. giving names and details. Smith
said that he and Sidney Land had been
partners in various burglariOus enter
prises. and that one night they broke
into the house Ola wealthy man. They
understood from what they hadlearned
in advance that the man was in the
habit of keeping large sums of money
and many valuables about the house
They expected a rich profit from their

job Resulted in Murder.
While they were going through the
mans valuableS they were surprised
by him. and a fight ensued. in which
the man was killed. The burglars got
5000 in money. some diamonds and
iewelry 5000 in notes, Il lot of mort
cages. some street railway bonds. and
one government bond. The men separ-
ated after the robbery, but later met
for division of the proceeds. Ac
cOrding to Smiths story, his partner
kept most of the money and jewelry,
and he was deprived of what he deem
ed his rightful share of the booty, but
as they We're equally guilty he did not

The Tanning Process.

The slowness Of the process OF tan
ming Is largely due to the difficulty with
which the tannin penetrates into the
hide. AS the penetration progresses
the outer part of the hide becomes con-
Rerted into leather and is thereby made
impervious; consequently the rate of
penetration decreases. Months Of soak
ing In the tan pit are therefore neces-
sary for thick hides. Many attempts
have been made to hasten this ABSORB
ton Of tannIn by hide. The methods
used include circulating the tan liquor
30 that fresh portions are continually
presented to the hide, forcing the liquid
Through the hide by pressure and using
strong aqueous extracts Of tanning ma
terials.
1t has been sought to attain the same
object by passing a current of electric
ity through the vat in which the hides
are suspended. One such process has
been found to shorten the time Of tan
ming to q quarter Of that necessary
when no current is used. and the leath-
er is said to be unexceptionable.-Elec-
trical Review.
