Condition Not Serious
Mrs. Prevey said Debs' condition
is not serious and that he will be
able to leave the bed within the next
few days. ...
When shown the report of the de-
cision of the supreme court Debs
said:
That means by May l, the day

Debs first gained national promi-

the American Railway union. organ
zed by him on June 20, 1898. When
the Pullman Car company employees
went on a strike in 1894, Debs, as
president of the American Railway
union, which comprised railway
workers of all branches, ordered
sympathetic strike on the 81 rail-
ways converging in Chicago, on
June 26, 1894. The strike spread
with great rapidity and the traffic
on all the western roads centering
n Chicago was practically stopped:
Owing to the stoppage of mail
transportation the federal govern
ment interfered and on June so,
1894, the United States court issued
An injunction against the striking
railway men. Federal troops were
ordered to Chicago on Julye 3 and
for several weeks there was con-
tinuous fighting between the troops
and the rioting strikers, who des-

ATTU NATIVES STATED TO BE
 ALL POOR ONES

Wind-swept Attu Island, a bit of Alaska at the tip of the Aleutian string, farther west than any other part of North America, is the home of a tribe of about 100 Aleut In- dians, said to be the poorest people, financially, on earth.
 Nature, however. provides these far away Indians living. From Attu and the nearby islands and from t'.e surrounding waters they get eggs, fish, geese, seals, occasionally wal rus, berries and, lately, blue fox.
 From the far south Pacific the Japan current, it is said, brings fuel. Driftwood thot to be from the Philip pines, Hawaii and other southern lands is scattered along Attu's beaches. No trees grow on the is land.
 For clothes the natives use goods prot from the outside world by oc- casional traders. Those lacking in the cloth of the whites make their garments from the grass and skins.
 Like the Indian tribes of old. q native chief leads these Aleuts and acts as their head in all matters, trading, hunting, fishing as well as in councils of the tribe and in the Rus sian church services to which the, natives still adhere.
 Russians first settled the island in 1747 when they sailed west of the Commodore Islands off Kamchatka and established an important trading post at Attu. The Russians planted herds of cattle and goats, but in a few years both the Russiahs and their stock left for other parts.

TEACHERS OF
 ALASKA LEAD
 IN EXPERIENCE

CORDOVA, Nov. 16.--(By Mail)- Alaska school teachers. compared with those of the United States, have a lead in education and expe- riepce, says the Alaska School Bulle- tin.
 During the school year 1917-18 there were 145 teachers employed in the public high and elementary schools of the territory, distributed among GA school districts. Of these 145 teachers, 140. says the Bulletin, have attended schools of higher rank than high schools, and all have had eauca. tion equivalent to that Of t iou..,, high school course. Approximate |. so percent of the 87 teachers ia iii corporated towns and districts are college or normal graduates, and more than two-thirds of this numbe. have taken postgraduate work. Alp proximately 53 percent of the 5l teachers in districts outside of in. corporated towns are either normal or college graduates. and nearly one half of this number have taken post graduate work.
 The average experience of the Alaskan teacher. the Bulletin points out, is seven and one-half years Only twelve of the 145 teachers have had no previous experience.
 The statistics used by the Bulletin have no reference to government schools conducted for the natives At present there is considerable shortage of teachers. owing to tho demands of war and lure of specia work outside the territory.

 IS ON TONIGHT

ALL is set for the big time to- night The maskers have their cos tunes ready, the music has all been alranged-the latest pieces from the outside-the prizes are ready for awarding and all that remains to be done is for the maskers to attend and complete for themselves.
 But one slight hitch has occurred to mar the event; it pertains to the prizes. Through some mistake the sect of furs which was to have been awarded have been disposed of and something else of good value will have to be substituted, so that the winner of this prize will not be dis appointed in receiving some award otherwise the prizes stand as an nounced.
 The floor will be in good condition, for today a man or two will be engag- ed in smoothing out the rough spots and in applying wax and polishing it to glassy smoothness. several appetites have been worked up in an ticipation of winning the turkey that will be given away to the holder of the lucky coupon. Without doubt the attendance tonight will be large one as nearly every dancer in town has announced their intention of at tending and speeding the dying year on its way The new year will be welcomed with one of the liveliest times ever witnessed in Fairbanks.
