Methodist church was largely attended
on the evening of the 10Th AT the spa
ciOus home of Levi G. Sturtevant, 1870
being present; and 1t was thoroughly
enjoyed by all. Quite large delega-
tiOns from Addison, PantOn and New
Haven were in attendance. Messrs. Peck
of Town hill came with happy load OF
10 young people, whose coming was an.
nOnnced by the blast of horn. At the
departure the horn was missing, hut its
absence was accounted for when a sleigh
load of eight from Panton started on the
''h0me-run" to the familiar music THAI
calls the men to dinner" A fine musI

ed. Instrumental music was given by
Orrin Britell, violin, and Mrs. Newton

WHEAT ADVANCES.
| The Continue Rise in Price of the Cereal
Sure Sign of Prosperity.

The Continued Rise in Price of tho Cereal
Sure Sign of Prosperity.
New YORK, May 1S.-The country
bought wheat with vengeance and
with hardly setback prices rose over
2 cents bushel, closing strong at the
top. The boom was simply the out
come of general awakening of specu-
lative energies all over the country.
Cotton, oil and stocks have had their
turn and wheat is now coming in for
its share. Professional traders who
scalp the market daily and know the
ms and outs pretty thoroughly,
bowed before the bull storms, and
when there were outside orders in the
market trade stood still for local
operators realized the futility of try
ing to follow out ordinary influences
which the mad rush of buying kept up.
The bears ran like sheep in storm.
In fact, the speculative public may be
said to have owned the wheat markets
of the country. Brokers had as many
orders as they could attend to, and pri-
vate wires in all directions were kept
hot carrying orders. July wheat
opened at 7o1s cents, sold off to 69T
cents, and then, with few pauses,
moved up steadily to 1919 cents, at
which figure it closed.

CONDITIONAL FREE COINAGE.

Bimetallic Currency Laushlin and
Harvey Debate tho Money Question
1t Chicago.
Sioux CITY, Ia, May 18.-An Alton,
Ia, special to The Journal says: In a
letter to the Alton Democrat, ex-
Governor Boies comes out for the free
coinage Of silver at a Is to ratio with
out waiting for any international &C
ton. Mr. Boies says:
1T is idle to expect the masses of the
American peop.e to wait for the CO.
operation of foreign nations before they
settle the question. They have no faith
in such a remedy. They have taken
the matter into their own hands and
they will settle it one way or another,
so far as this country is concerned, In
the next national election that is held.
Where to Place the consequences.
IF the unrestricted coinage Of silver
follows and the result is all that the
gold monometallists predict, the conse-
quences, if evil, should not be charged
to friends of free coinage of both met
ais. They did not seek the issue. All
that they asked was an honest bimet-
allism, with reasonable safeguards for
maintaining the parity of the two.
This has been denied them upon false
grounds as I believe that no possible
legislation could effect that end. l
frankly admit that if the question is to
be narrowed to the single issue of gold
monometalism on one side or
Unconditional Free Coinage
of both metals at the old ratio on the
other, I am in favor of free coin
age because I believe it will at least be
the beginning of broadened financial
system that will, if necessary, be so
perfected in the near future as to give
US an absolutely safe and sound cur
rency, the foundation Of which will be,
legally at least, and, I believe, prac-
tically, the equal use of both gold and
silver as the money of redemption"

Ell Paso, Tex, says: Information has
been received here of a bloody local
revolt which broke out in a settlement
between the towns of Gaudaloupe
Caivo and Varvagama, in the state OF

living in the district attacked a sur.
veying party under Captain Morrison.
an American, and killed 20 of the
party. The affair was reported to the
commander Of Mexican troops at Par
raj, who Immediately started de-
tachment of 100 men to the
scene. Last Wednesday the troops
were assaulted by the natives
and the troops retreated, leaving half
of their number dead on the battle
ground. The appointment Of the
American, Morrison, to survey the
government lands, which is now occu-
pied by native farmers, caused the
trouble. Morrison was to receive a
certain portion of the lands tor his
work. The natives number about
1900 men, living in the district which
is surrounded by mountains. Troops
have been ordered to Chihuahua to
quell the revolt. Morrison escaped.

''The Populists will never go into the

must unite upon an independent ticket.
The head of the ticket should be some

president should be some present Re-
