CENTENARIAN AND
 HIS PET EXPIRE WHEN BARN BURNS
Often Said He Wished That He
 and His Horse Might Die To-
 gether-Was Physical Marvel

Hubbard Blakeslee, aged 103, the physical marvel of the State@ was burned to death early last evening in barn on the John Goodsel1 estate in Greens Farms. the fire starting in the explosion of an oil stove used by Mir. Blakesiee. and consuming the barn. There was something particularly tragic in the manner of his death He had far exceeded the ordinary allot- ment of human life and bid fair to live for many years longer, as he was in perfect health. stronger than the average man of 45 or 50 and led simple outdoor life conducive to lon gevity
 In the manner of his death. he was granted an often-expressed wish, all though in Q terrible manner Tn the barn with him was a favorite horse. to which he was greatly attached. and he had often expressed the wish that he and his pet might die together Both were burned to ashes yesterday.
 Despite his extraordinary age. MT. Blakeslee made his living through manual labor of the hardest kind. He drove team about the countryside and collected and carted away ashes and refuse The sight of a man of over 1C0 years of age juggling heavy ash barrels on his shoulder and engag- ed in other manual labor equally ar duous. has long been one of the mar vels of the district in which Mir Blakesiee lived.
 At his place on the Goodself estate, where he was allowed considerable room. he raised a number of hogs of fancy breed. and commanded a good market and high prices for them. When his death became known in Fairfield yesterday there arose a ru- nor that he had had a check for $500 in his possession. obtained through the sale of a number of choice hogs. A feeling grew that the old man might have met foul play. but the authori- ties discre6lit this idea.
 The burning of the Goodsell barn at tracted a big crowd. The watchers fought the fire but were unable to cope with it. While the barn was blazing the absence of the centenar- ian was noticed and search insti tuted for him. Afterward his badly charred body and that of his horse were found in the barn. Two upset oil stoves gave credence to the theory that the fire hads sstarted with an ex- plosion of one of the stoves with which Mir. Blakeslee warmed his sleeping quarters.

To the Voters.

In this issue we have submitted ques-
tions to candidates for Office to answer SO
that all may know how they stand on the
subjects covered. As the questions sub
mitted are not partisan in character, but
are Of great interest to every voter, we
hope that all candidates will make their
views known. Any party who has not
taken enough interest in our country's
government to post himself on these sub
jects and is not willing to go on record
and show his views, is very poor timber
for any office and should be defeated
Paste this list in your hat and add what
other questions you wish and when the
candidates come around with the tgad
hand, = cheap cigars, or "bottle Of booze
just do a little direct questioning and get
some straightforward, plain and positive
answers. II they try to evade the issue,
you may know that they are not the men
you want Don't vote for any candidate
until you know where he stands.

SUCCESS IN MINING.

Hardly a day passes but that one can
see in the papers an account Of business
failures. Here a big mercantile establish
ment goes under, or a banking institution
passes into the hands Of the receiver. The
conditions in mercantile and banking
circles seem to us most serious on account
Of these failures, and we keep our ear to
the ground with the expectation Of hear
ing that all of the stores and banks in the
country have concluded to go out Of busi-
ness. But listen as we may, no such in
formation is received, and we are aston
ished to find chat the business institutions
of the east and west go on just the same,
and that the failures being constantly re-
corded cause hardly ripple on the sea Of
finance After awhile the further fact
dawns upon us that the mercantile bqsi-
ness is not failure; that banking is le-
gitimate, and that neither one can be
condemned because once in while some
institution fails of success. AS matter Of
fact, business along these lines is profit
able. If this were not the case, it would
not be long before mercantile pursuits
would be abandoned; before every bank
in the country would be closed
The same line of reasoning can well be
applied to mining. OF failures in this
industry there are many, but this does
not brand mining as illigitimate, No
one is compelled to engage in mining as
business, and were it not profitable it
would not be long before every mining
enterprise in this and every other country
would be speedily abandoned. The truth
Of the matter is, however, that no other
pursuit or occupation yields such huge
returns. In no other business are the
profits 50 great as in mining; and this is
why the occupation is 50 fascinating, 50
fraught with big possibilities.
In looking over the dividend disburse-
ment Of mining companies it win readily
be seen that the industry is in no danger
Of going to the dogs" for, as a matter
of fact, mining is a success, and more big
j fortunes are being made through this in
dustry than in any other occupation OF
pursuit--salt Lake Mining Review.
