Illinois Central Said to be About
Ready For One,
The New Institution to Probably Be
Located Below Memphis
Somewhere.
COST TO THE ROAD IS SMALL

1t is probable that within a compar-
atively short time the Illinois Central
will build another hospital on its sys-
tenn, probably on the southern division
below Memphis.
The company has only one hospital,
and that is here, and the need of an
other has long been felt. The cost OF
maintaining a hospital is little to the
company, as the employees of the road
support it with small assessment
taken from their monthly salary. The
cost to each employee is gagged by his
salary, and is one per cent Of what he
makes. An employee making 800 per
month pays the company for hos
pital privileges 81 per month, and in
this way the hospital is kept up. The
same rule is effective over the system,
but excepting the Louisville and Mem
phis divisions Of the road, all patients
are treated by the local surgeons.
Il is understood that the company
has been contemplating the erection
of another hospital for some time, ant
is about ready to announce its plans
1t is said that as result Of the re
cent inspection made of the medica
department, the local hospital ant
the services of the local surgeons owe

owen of Chicago and by his assistant

Trainmaster Jack Flynn May be APP
pointed to SUPPLEMENTARY.
Reported That He Will Succeed Mr..
A. J. Greif, of the vicks-
burg Division.
HE Is DIRECTLY IN LINE

Good news continues to come to the
many friends here Of Captain Jack
Flynn, the popular trainmsster OF the
Louisiana division Of the Illinois Cen
trial, who has had several material
promotions since he was transferred
from the Central City division Of the
road, with headquarters in Paducah,
to Memphis less than two years ago.
He is now trainmaster OF the Louis
lana division, with headquarters at
McComb City, but is slated for a
promotion September LIST to become
trainmaster OF terminals at New Or
leans, an important and lucratie posi-
tion.
Ii is today reported in railroad cir
cles that he will probably be appoint
ed superintendent Of the VicksburR
division, Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
Railroad, which is operated under
lease by the Illinois Central and prsc
tically a part of the latter. to succeed
Mr.. A. J. Grelf, u Paducah boy who
has resigned, effective September LIST
to 20 to Cuba and manage q sugal
plantation.
Trsinmaster Flynn is one Of thu
best railroad men in the employ of th'
Illinois Central. and is considered
about the best trainmaster on the en-
tire system. He has been in line fol
superintendenoy for several months
and IL is now believed that the re
ports relative to his appointment tc
the unexpected vacancy at vioksburl
will effect a change in plans, AM
result in his appointment to the sup
erintendenoy.
His many friends here, as well a
elsewhere on the Illinois Contra
system, hope the reports will soon b
officially confirmed.
