DIES DECLARING
NAME IS TASCOTT
Miner Found in Lonely Alaska
Hut Admits He Slew Mil
lionaire Smell.

Victoria, B. c., June 1.-Out of the
Alaskan wilderness comes the story OF
the death of Tascott, the murderer of
Millionaire Smell in Chicago in 1888.
The story is so dramatically told that
it carries all the earmarks of a careful
write-up, but the teller Of 1t Is a re-
liable miner who claims to have seen
the murderer and heard his confess
sion. If the story be true, Tascott the
long-sought murderer, self-ident1t1ed,
has paid the penalty of his crime and
his body now fills an unmarked grave
in the heart Of the Alaskan wilder
ness.
Philip Robertson, a strictly reliable
man, prospector and miner, received
the dying mans confession, and tells
the story simply. Robertson left the
Klondike capital, he says, late last fall
in a small boat bound for the new
placer grounds at Fairbanks. He
reached point near Dahl river in a
particularly desolate and forbidden
region when the forlorn wailing of a
dog surprised his ears. He found the
dog. a half-starved shepherd, seeming
ly In much distress. Following this
animal, Robertson was brought to a
seemingly deserted cabin.
The dying man he found there said {:

For Weak. Lanauld People.

Weak, sickly people often remarked
If I could only get something that
would nourish me and give me
strength" they do not know why. but
the food they eat is of no benefit to
them. They gain no flesh and feel
no stronger. The fact is the stomach
is too weak to perform its work. And
the little appetite they once had is
soon gone. The blood becomes more
thin and watery, bringing on faint sick
spells with loss of memory and ambi-
ton. There is a remedy for all this
that acts in the right way. It is called
Dr. Gums Blood and Nerve Tonic,
and is sold by all druggists for 75c
per box, or boxes for $500. It turns
the food you eat into rich, red blood,
making flesh and strength, creating an
appetite because the system demands
sustenance.
