There Is nothing degrading about the way in which these people receive their benefits. Every man who receives from the government is expected to make re- turn, and with the first effort to inn prove his land he increases it's value, and as a result there is a sure return for the government.

NOVELTIES OF NEW ZEALAND
Lecture by Henry D. Lloyd.

A large audience of members of the Springfield Improvement association and guests listened to a lecture last evening in the Art Museum by Henry
 D. Lloyd, of Chicago, on the social nov cities of New Zealand. MT. Llowd ad- dressed the audience in conversational way, and spoke of an interesting subject in a most interesting manner. The
 speaker was introduced by c. II.
 Churchill as a man who was known to
 many of those present, and who would
 talk upon a subject in which all were
 interested. MT. Lloyd prefaced his re- marks on the social conditions in New Zealand with short introduction on the scenery and animals of the country. It is about the same distance from the equator as Japan like Japan it is an is- land, and is one of the most beautiful places in the world. New Zealand, from a physical point of viaW is the compos- ite of Switzerland, Italy, Norway and

The Profitable Trip Of Mrs. Lena Du-

HiIDDLETOWN. n. Y, Jan. 24.-Mrs
Lena NJ. Dubois. a young widow OF Napa
noch who recently returned from the gold
fields of Alaska tells some remarkable
stories of her experience while seeking for
the yellow metal.
Mrs. Dubois had arranged to go to the
Klondike with friends, but was disappoint-
ed, and finally determined TO make the
trip alone. She went to St Michael, up
the Yukon River to Dawson City, and start
ed on a prospecting tour. After several
days search she returned and was dis
couraged on finding that her tent had been
robbed of provisions, jewelry, and cloth
ing.
She continued her search and finally
staked out claim in the Bonanza terri
tory The claim had been previously stalk
ed out by ringers" but she finally drove
them from the country. The claim is now
proving very valuable. She also staked
out two other claims rich in their re-
sources.
Il worked hard and endured a great
deal" said Mrs. Dubois. and | am con-
vinced that woman is more able to with
stand hardships than man. One woman
who returned home with me was the sole
survivor of a party of nineteen, and she
was the only woman. This party started
across what is known as the Edmonston
trail. and they were lost for two months.

miles, the men dying off one by one.
Finally she was left alone to find her
way out of the frozen regions. Her hus-
band was the last to die. and she had her
self lain down on sleigh. giving up all
hope. She was found by two men, and

Mrs. Dubois will soon return to the gold
region to continue her work. The value of
her three claims is now estimated at $780,

A SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC.
The Disease Prevailing i'm Three of
the Southern states.

CHATTANOOGA. Tenn. Jan. 24.-The
epidemic of smallpox raging in the South
is worse today. 1t began at Alabama City.
where il ragged for some months without
attracting special attention. Gradually it
was communicated to outside cities, until
today reports from three States indicate
that it is more or less of an epidemic
among the colored people At Memphis,
Tenn, there are 250 cases. At Nashville
il invaded Fisk University, colored, and
spread CONSERVATION. There is a large
number of cases at Birmingham, Ala;
Bessemer, Ala, and in number of small
Georgia towns. At Chattanooga 16 cases
have been discovered, of them having
been imported from Alabama.
Strict measures have been adopted at
the eleventh hour. and there is now every
hope that the disease will be suppressed
at once. 1t is not a very violent type so
far Only one death has been reported in
the entire circuit, that of a negro at Bes-
semer. Ala,
