this place report that they are being put to no end of trouble and inconvenience by \u201cgun men\u201d who seem to think their special mission in life is to \u2018shoot off\u201d insulators.Recently several have been smashed on the main transmission line from Sherbrooke, but the greatest trouble has been between this place and Derby Centre, where the line keeps to the woods much of the way.Inspection of this line Saturday afternoon showed that twelve or fifteen insulators had been split to pieces, either fer amusement er out of pure cussedness.It may not be generally known that the Jaws provide severe punishment for such offence.Aside trom this fact the \u2018\u2018gun men\u2019 ought to realize that not omly the company, but its patrons are liable to be pus to serious inconvenience by interraption of the service.Possibly the Company might find it good economy to pus clay pigeons up on its poles for the amusement of the brave gunners.Three juvenile burglars were corralled at William M.Pike & Son\u2019s Store at 6.40 last Thursday evening.Thursday is one of the early closing nights, and the lade got busy soon after the last clerk left.They had been seen

cash register, touched the keys, turned the crank and were making off with something like nine dollars in cesh when held up.The smaller lad had been put through a broken window in the west basement, and he had unbarred a near-by door through which the other two entered.All three were held until the arrival of Constable McNaney.Only the previous Tuesday evening, another closing bight, twenty dollars in cash, paid on note and left in the office, had been stolen.The youngsters denied guilt at firet, but afterwarde confessed to Constable McNaney.They also admitted having stolen bottles from the Rock Ie- land House, fire-works, etc., from Dr.Waldron's store house, as well as barg- larizing Bonnette\u2019s barber shop, the Chinese laundry and the Turnbull creamery.They were allowed to go

reins.In approaching the street the buggy bame in contact with the high portion of the sidewalk throwing the occupants out.Mr.Dewey sustained a serious compound fracture lu the leg both bones being broken just above the ankle, the larger one being forced downward through the flesh, Dr.Stockwell was called, the patient was etherized and the fracture reduced, but considering the seriousness of the case it was thought best to remove the injured man to the city for treatment.Accordingly he was taken to the Royal Victoria Hospital, Monday morning.An X-Ray examination showed the work of the local physician to be satisfactory.r From an occasional correspondent. some 0 PSE \u2014 eve A \u2014 - \u201cNA-DAU-CO DYSPEPSIA 1:10 grontty rogretioë, mot oniy by| The \u201ctases mil goes on.Those BEE

COMPANY, Newport, Vt.DEATH FOLLOWED OPERATION.Mr.J.M.Gilmore Passed Away at Royal Victoria Hospital Early Sunday Morning.In the Royal Victoria Hospital, Montreal, at 5.30 8.m, Sunday, Mr.Jeremiah Mitchell Gilmore passed to his final reward.His illness began eight weeks ago.The principal ailment was 1 severe headache and local hysicians were baffled by the pe- ouliarities of the case, which seemed to respond to no treatment.Five weeks ago the patient became confined to the house.Once the disorder was diagnosed as \u2018*walking typhoid.\u201d The pridcipal symptoms was a terribly severe headache and delirium; he had no fever.Monday, December 2nd, a specialist wae called, and with the aid of modern electrical instruments, succeeded in locating an unnatural growth on the brain.The case was of the most critical and alarming nature.After three days\u2019 treatment and observation, the physicians decided that |g; the only hope, the one faint chance of saving a life, lay in an operation.Accordingly the patient was removed to Montreal Thursday morning.In the operation, which was performed Friday afternoon, it was discovered that the growth was of a tumorous nature, the whole of the brain being involved.The surgeons gave no bope for permanent recovery, and, without regaining consciousness, the patient passed peacefully away at the hour above stated, surrounded by a number of those nearest a d dearest to him.The remains were brought home Sunday night.Deceased was a son of the late Albert Gilmore, and was born at Rock Island, April 5, 1866.He received bis early business training with his brother, James A.Gilmore, who then conducted a store in this village.Afterwards the deceased went to St.Johns- bury, Vt., where he engaged in the boot and shoe business.He remained in St.Johnsbury nine years, and was manager of the Howe Opera House a considerable portion of this time.After his return to Rock Island he became connected with the Giobe Suspender Company representing this concern in the Eastern Townships and Eustern Ontario for a term of twelve years.This experience on the road gave him a broad acquaintance, and he enjoyed the confidence of the trade and was held in high esteem by his fellow travelers.Some two years ago the late Mr.Gilmore, with\u2019 F.J.Robbins, now of Indianapolis, launched the R Manufacturing Co., one of Rock Island\u2019s successful industries.Mr.Gilmore remained at the head of this concern until the time of his death, bis first partner\u2019sinterest having been sold to Mr.Audinwood something like a year ago.On September 25, 1894, while living at St.Jobnabury, Mr.Gilmore married Mies Julia Fitzgerald of that place, by whom he is survived; he also leaves one daughter, Miss Mary Gilmore, besides a number of other near relatives, including his mother, Mrs.Albert Gilmore, three sisters, Mrs.J.F.Pa- quette, Mrs.8B.T.Fregeau, and Miss Annie Gilmore, three brothers, Messrs.James A., Patrick and Charles Z.Gilmore.Deceased also had many intimate friends, bere and elsewhere, by whom his untimely end will be deeply mourned.The funeral took place at the R.C.Chnrch at 9 a.m.yesterday and was largely attended.Among those present from out of town were: Mr.John Ryan, Mies Lillian Ryan, Mre.Elizabeth Corbett, Mr.James Cosgrove, Mr.D.P.Healey, Mr.R.Rann, Dr.R.B.McSweeney, Rev.Father Leonard, St.Johnsbury; Rev.Father Godin, Cookshire; Mr.and Mrs.Joseph Perkins, Miss Annie Glynn, Montpelier; Mr.and Mrs.J.D.Gauthier, Mies Hudop, Dr.J.0.Camirand, G.L.De Lottinville, T.L.Delisle, Theodore

funeral was in charge of Hon.M.F.Hackett and Mr.T.F.O'Rourke.Bearers: Messrs, E.F.Millet, D.Neveu, jr., J.E.8t.Pierre, T.J.Norris, A.J.Bissonnet, T.Oscar Lanctot.There was a profusion of beautiful flowers and a large number of spiritual boquets.THE \u201cTRUNK LINE\u201d HIGHWAY.To the Editor of the Journal.Dear Sir,\u2014More and more the true facts of the \u2018trunk line\u2019\u201d\u2019 are coming to light.Outsiders who see the \u201cwrangling\u201d would understand it better were some of these \u2018facts\u2019 presented.We only propose to mention a few that have not found their way into print.We sre told that tha engineers passed only over the direct route and returned to Sherbrooke by train, showing it was done to \u2018keep up appearances\u2019 and keep the Hatley ratepayers in the dark.t is reported and believed that when the Hatley delegation, with a long list of namea to their petition for a direct line, went to Quebec a certain man in the adjoining municipality telephoned Mr.Caron not to pay any attention to them.Itis now known that surmises are uite sure to be correct, that the M.J's and a few got close and developed the plan to suit, who?Why call it a route for the \u201ctourists,\u201d if consulted would they not prefer a direct line and shorter distance?Let us touch on sn important point, After the Government has stated that the matter is settled and can not be changed, can they go back on their word and say the macadam road will not be built because of the \u2018\u2018wrangle.\u201d A Government is supposed to be stable, but if not, there may be a host of a chance yet to divert \u2018\u2018the ong round about way, billy as the \u201cdebbil\u2019\u2019 route, to ita proper course, atraight through from Quebec, Sher- brooks to the Derby Line
