Good Manners-No Man Can
Resist Their Influence Is
Assertion of Authority

The power of manners Is incessant-
an element rs unconcealable as fire.
The nobility cannot in any country be
disguised. and no more In republic or
n democracy than In kingdom. No
man can resist their influence. There
are certain manners which are learned
In good society, of that force that, If
person have them. he or she must be
considered, and is everywhere well
come, though without beauty, wealth
or genius. Give boy address and ac-
complishments. and you give him the
mastery of palaces and fortunes where
he goes. He has not the trouble Of
earning or owning them; they solicit
him to enter and possess. We send

to the boarding school, to the riding
school, to the ballroom. or wheresoever
they can come into acquaintance and
nearness of leading persons of their
own sex where they might learn adj
dress, and see 1t near at hand. The
power of a woman of fashion to lead,
and also to daunt and repel. derives
from their belief that she knows re-
sources and behavior not known to
them; but when these have mastered
her secret, they learn to confront her.

1t is like dash of cold water full

They are not like the city people who

Performers" who seldom give any con-
sideratlon to the mental attitude of
the farmers toward the revolutionary
schemes which they think will pres
emily remake the world. They cannot
tolerate the thought of dependence for
authority upon such comparatively
empty places as the rural counties
and the dlstinctively agricultural
states. They seldom grasp the cold
fact that they must win the country
voters or else face failure, complete,

INTO Ell PhSO, TEXAS.
LITTLE SKIRMISH At JUAREz
Unloose Guns on Rebels After Artil-
leryman Is Slain by Snipers--lt is

in Charge or Not. %.

FL Paso, Texas.-Early on Monday
morning Colonel Hadsell's troops open
ed fire on the Villistas in the old fed
eral trenches to the south and south
east of Juarez and general engage
ment is in progress.
The first shrapnel shot from United
States army guns was fired over Jua-
rez at 1890 o'clock in the morning in
the direction of the Juarez race track
to dislodge Villistas. A second shot
followed in five minutes, which struck
near the race track, followed at two
minute intervals from two guns placed
near the international bridge on the
Mexican side.
Following a signal rocket the Amer
lean cavalry near San Lorenzo, Chi
huahua, started an enveloping move
ment to the east and southeast of Jua-
-"v - ~"Tound the rebels, who were
then in the vicinity Of the race track
A second green signal rocket indicated
the cavalry were advancing at a
charge. Heavy firing by American ar
tillery continues.
Rfiemen Return Shippers Fire.
Following the killing of one artil-
leryman of the sgd artillery and the
serious wounding of another by Mex
lean snipers, General Erwin ordered rs
expert riflemen to that point to return
the snipers fire. The shots which
killed the artilleryman were fired be-
fore American artillery began the bonn
bardment of the race track.
Francisco Villas rebel force was sta
toned in the Juarez race track 80 min
utes before the American artillery
opened fire on the target, it was an
nounced at military headquarters. 1t

Canteloupes-Modera shipments
from California have been coming
to hand this week, now quoting at Sc

Lemons-Warm weather influences
are making themselves felt; prices
up 81 to $7@7.50.
Other Fruits-California grapefruit
is up so cents to Sc. Other fruits In
seasonable supply and demand with.
out material price changes.
Potatoes-The old deal is winding
up well; there are only light stocks
left and prices nominally lower at
SIPS. New potatoes are now com.
ing from California in car lots and
the price has slumped to cents. at
which price the general public is be-
ginning to take ~.
Other VegetapIes-Oid bunch stuff

so cents. Tomatoes from Imperial

Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-The grain corporations re-
farms for the week ended, May 80,
were 1857, 900 bushels, compared with
2033.O00 bushels in the same week
a year ago. Total stocks of wheat
as Of May 80 were 65,S2400 bush
els, showing decrease from the
May % report of S,665,00O bushels.
Thus the carry-over will not be APP
preciable. julius Barnes at the New
York conference with grain interests
intimated the initial course of the
new crop movement in the follow
ing statement: 1T Is evident, with
the size of the crop now in sight,
that the pressure for marketing will
shortly force wheat prices in this
country back to the government
guarantee basis and that buying of
wheat in large quantities by the gov.
eminent will be the decisive factor
in wheat prices in this country, sta.
bilizing them at that guaranteed
level"
Both generally and locally crop
prospects continue most excellent
Local quotations are $2.09, $2.07,
$2.05 and $2.02 plus added charges
and premiums, running from 20 to
80 cents.
Flour-Mills are rounding out an
active season with prices firm but
practically no new business in sight
now, and trading slowing up. Sew
eral mills will be kept busy on gov
eminent orders up to July list, posi-
bly, week or two later Local
prices are unchanged at SLIGO and
$11.40 for firsts and seconds and
S11S0 for hard wheat varieties.
Feed-Both barley and oats have
hit the tobaggon again, being off
about 81 in the last couple weeks,
to $5S and $50 for the rolled. Al
falfa is off 81 to $50. Timothy, corn
and bran and shorts unchanged.

MARKET At SPOKANE.

Reports on the general business sit
uation continue variable. Many lines
continue to wait on" the definite con-
clusion of peace and the "readjust-
ment," whatever that may mean. On
the other hand seasonable operations
are being pushed actively and the
sustained earning power of the pub
lie at large means good volume of
general current business.
In this section wheat crop pros
poets continue better than in any
previous year, both as to acreage,
conditions and assured remuneration.
The lumber business is we'll sus-
tanned and due for expansion. Min
ing is steadily readjusting itself and
getting going on fairly active
basis again.
Provisions.
Butter-Local quotations declined
q cents to Sc for cartons, IS for
prints and Sc for butterfat under
heavy receipts. Eastern markets are
reported weakening under excess
storage holdings, lack Of heavy ex-
port, and the imminence of the big
producing season. Coast markets,
however, which affect us here more,
have been comparatively firm. Port
land and Seattle dropped off last
week, but are reacting upward this
week, which leaves this market
pretty firm at quotations.
Cheese-There have been no
changes, quotations holding at $50
81 cents. Production is enlarging.
Eggs-While production holds up
well, a good demand for both current
consumption and storage account has
sent prices up moderately to $3.50
to the producer and $13.75@14,50
wholesale.
Poultry-No changes since the drop
in broilers and advance in ducks
noted last week.
Fresh Meats-There Is season
able slump in sheep this week to
$9.50013 for lambs and $7@S for
yearlings and further moderate de.
clines in hogs and cattle. Receipts
at the union stockyards for the week
