2 AUTOMOBILES BURN Explosion Starts Fire Which Destroys Two Finest
 Cars in Newark

Two of the best automobiles in town were destroyed by fire Monday morning as the result of rather mysterious accidental explosion.
 The cars belonged to Dr. A. A Evans and Cashier E. B. Chesser of the First National Bank. The total loss is about $3,000 and is only par tially covered by insurance.
 The ears were in Dr. Evans pri- vate garage when the accident oc- cured The doctor had gone to the garage to get his car ready to drive out. and was preparing to make some slight repairs before taking the machine out In some manner he slightly stumbled over something in the building and instantly an explo- sion occurred and the entire build ing was a mass of flames The doc tor made a hasty dash for safety and barely succeeded in saving himself from the flames, his clothing and hair being slightly scorched by the flames.
 The gasoline tank had been leak ing, and it is supposed that some one had carelessly dropped match in the building, which Dr. Evans stepped on. causing it to ignite and cause the explosion
 A large number of people respond ed to the alarm of fire, but it was utterly impossible to save either of the cars or anything from the burn ing building.
 Dr Evans and MT Chesser had just received a lot of extra tires and other fixtures. and these were stored in the building. Dr. Evans loss on his car. building and fixtures is about 2,oo0, and he had only $1.000 in suranee. Mr. Chesser's car and fix lures were valued at about $1,250. He had $750 insurance on his car. Both machines were practically new, having been bought only a few months ago.

DESTROY CATTLE TICK Commissioner Jett Gives Valua- bic Information on This
 Important Subject

Editor Newark Journay:
 If you will allow me space in your paper, l will talk to the farmers on tick eradication in Independence county. We have three counties i'll the district and parts of others that have had no work done If the peo- pie want to get rid of the ticks (fev- CT ticks) in Independence county, and want the work begun next sea- son, it will be necessary for them to show their interest by holding meet ings and getting shaped up in time. l feel sure the people of Independ- enee county are desirous of having the work done 1 am confident that the work done In the fourteen states where the tick is found. will be suf- ficient evidence to convince the most skeptical The U s. government, with the fourteen states harboring the fever tick, could not possibly want to injure the farmers.
 Now, if a person tells you that ticks won't kill cattle, ask him how he knows. and require an answer, based on actual knowledge.
 l was talking with an old gentle man once who said he knew ticks would not kill cattle. l told him I thought they would, and told him I would give him $2 for the privilege of injecting one of his cattle with the fever tick He said, no; it might kill it. He was a good, honest far mer, but had not studied his inter- ests, as many others have failed to do.
 An open range, scrub stock, fever ticks and lice are the greatset load the farmers are carrying Gambling in futures, trusts and combinations are not one-tenth part as hurtful to the farmer.
 I built a vat in July; have dipped my cattle regularly since, and have never seen cattle do so we'll; in fact, they look like blooded stock. I am fattening a car of hogs and have dipped them regularly every ten days, and have never had hogs to fatten so fast They are clear of lice, and their hair is bright and glossy. l have visited a number of feed lots where hogs were being fat tened but have failed to find any that were clear of lice or their hair looked so good.
 There will soon be forty dipping vats completed in Izard county and we have dipped about 5000 head of cattle with no loss reported and all we'll pleased.
 As proof of my statement I refer to the fact that all dipping has been voluntary; the work not being done by an inspector There was never more opposition in any place than in Izard county at the beginning of this work.
 I hope the people of Independence county will not be called on to be-

lieve the hundreds of falsehoods that were circulated here. The joker was our worst enemy to contend with. He told all manner of terrible things just to scare somebody and have some fun. Strange indeed, hundreds would believe such stuff, when if you told them the truth they would disbelieve it.

 It will no doubt be the policy of the Commission to help those who will assist in the work
