w. @. Davidson, OF the High
way Engineering Department at
Columbia was in Ironton Monday
ia response to the Business Mems
League. In company with Messrs.
Tr%auernicht, York, and Russell he
went over the proposed Shepherd
mountain road and gave such in
formation as was necessary to its
construction in accordance with
the more modern method. Mr..
A. G. Russell will begin work on
it next week and push it to COM
pletion. MI. Davidson went to
Poplar Bluff on the evening train.
He is thoroughly versed in the
making of good roads and we
hope to see him again.
The granite cutters and other
employees of the Missouri Granite
and Construction Company at
Knob Lick walked out" on
Thursday of last week when their
demand for an 5 hour day at the
same wages as paid them hereto
fore for a 9-hour day, also more
prompt pay, was refused. H. F..
Allen, local superintendent, says
the company has informed him
that under no circumstances will
it grant the demand made by the
men. The plant is still idle.
Twenty-six men were employed
at wages ranging from $3.50 to
$3.50 per day. Orders had been
plentiful of late and prospects
were good for a busy year.-Farm-

Employees Will Manage Rail-
road Hospitals.

The management of the entire
Hospital Service of the Missouri
Pacifc-Iron Mountain System is
to be turned over to the more than
$1,000 employees of these Com
panies on the first day of August.
Heretofore the hospitals have been
operated as part of the railroad
system.
The hospital properties to be
operated by the employees con-
sist of large hospitals in st. Louis,
Kansas City and Little Rock, a
joint arrangement at Texarkana,
Ark, with the Cotton Belt Rail-
road for the use of its hospitals
there, and arrangements at more
than thirty other points along the
line with sanitariums which look
after the sick and disabled for the
company.
In order to build and establish
the hospitals and to obtain for
them the needed credit for their
proper conduct, it was necessary
for the Missouri Pacifc-Iron
Mountain System to advance
funds and take charge of operat-
ing the institutions. All of the
employees and officials of the Com
panies have been payinga small
assessment each month based on
the amount of their salaries.
Now that the Hospital Services
has become self-sustaining the
railroad company has decided
to turn it's management over to
the employees who contribute the
funds.
Under the plan devised and out.
lined in a circular issued by E. j.
Pearson, First Vice. President of
the Companies, there is to be es-
tablished a board of nine Hospital
Service Managers, of which the
Chief Surgeon of the Companies
is to be ex-oficio chairman. He
is also to be ex-officio chairman of
the executive committee, which is
to consist of three members of the
board. The remaining eight mem
bers of the board are to be chosen
from the following departments of
the railroads, each department be-
ing allowed one representative:
Train, Engine and Yard Service;
Shops, Round House and Repair
Yards; Employees on Maintenance
of Way and Structures; Telegra-
piers, Office and Station EN-
ployes; Operating Department;
Law Department; Accounting De-
partment, and some other DEPART
ment that may be without repre-
sentation.
This board elects a secretary,
who is not to be one of it's Nom
bers, and fixes his salary. The
Accounting and Treasury Depart
ments of the Railways will handle
the hospital accounts and funds
free or charge uuder the direction
of the hospital board. The Rail.
way Company is to pay full sala-
ries to all employees while per-
forming hospital duties. The
board appoints all hospital COM
mittees.

NEGRO WANTED IN FLORIDA.
Henry Jones Arrested Several Days
Ago I'm Wedgedeld for Making
Threats.

very peculiar case is that OF
Henry Jones who was arrested sever
al days ago at Wedgefield for threat
ening tn kill his former wife and her
present husband Jones is now quiet
ly resting I'm the county Jail until he
can be heard on the charges against
him. lie is also wanted in Florida on
the charge of grand larceny.
Ii seems that Henry Jones, who Is
a native of this county. ran off from
his wife at Wedgefield about five or
six years ago. He went to Florida and
remained there until recently when
he skipped out and came back to
Wedgefield. During his absence Hen
rvs wife heard nothing from him and
after waiting several years for him
and he did not return or write, she
decided to marry again and became
the wife o. another man, supposing
her former husband to be dead.
Now, like Enoch Arden, her hus-
band returned. to find her another
mans wife. He resented this and tried
TO make her leave her present hus-
band. She refused and he threatened
to kill her and her husband IL she did
not come back to him. He was ar
rested for his threats and while in Jail
Magistrate Rees. who had the arrest
made. heard that Jones was wanted in
Florida. from which place he had run
off for good cause. and the result Of
his telegram was that Sheriff Carter
telegraphed back to hold Jones as he
was wanted there for grand larceny
and that man would be sent as soon
as the authorities were done with him
here.
