LOUIS MALKUS.

Louis Malkus, the much-married and
the much-wanted man, has wired the
sheriff that he will be in Shreveport next
Saturday. He will find Shreveport ex-
actly in the same place as when he de-
parted thencefrom recently. And in
Shreveport he will find the same people
who knew him before he escaped
death by drowning in the Pacific ocean,
Mr.. Malkus should have no hesitation
about coming to Shreveport. Indeed, he
should come right along, and he will
find some of his old friends who will
give the shake hand.
What can or what will Malkus do
when he comes to Shreveport" was the
query to a Caucasian representative by
one of the serious men of Shreveport.
Well! What can he or what will he
do? Suppose we should wait and see.

LADY GoDlvA RIDE.
Representation Of Historic Event IL
Given at Coventry.

Representation Of Historic Event IL
Given at Coventry.
Coventry, Eng, Aug. S.-Mounted on
a white palfrey and decorously clothed
In masses of hair, pink fleshings and
clouds Of gauze, modern Lady Godiva
gave a representation of the historic
ride through the city's streets. Gov.
entry has been Lady Godiva mad for a
week. When the revival of the pro.
cession, last witnessed in 1887, was
first mooted there were many who de-
sired strict adherence to the traditions,
even to the nudity of Lady Godiva, but
the anti-nudits effected compromise,
and a vaudeville actress. whose spec.
ialty is the display Of herself in
groups of living statuary, was engaged
to represent the historic benefactress
OF Coventry. The actress, who is said
to have complained that she had to
make six summer frocks out Of
the cause she was compelled to wear,
took an hour and half to arrange her
trailing hair and long draperies, and
then a special committee had to ap.
prove her costume before Lady Godiva
was permitted to take her place in the
pageant. Many local clergy, who had
been preaching against fleshings as
being suggestive of nudity, left the city
temporarily, but most of the people
OF the country and $4,000 to 100000
from outside had sight Of Lady Go
diva as she traversed six miles.

BROUSSARD FAVORS WILKIN
SON

1t is not surprising to be informed
that Congressman Broussard has or is
about to align himself with Mr. Wilkin-
son. Such possibility was foreshad-
owed about the time that he declined to
become candidate for Governor. In
aligning himself with Mr.. Wilkinson
Mr.. Broussard is following a conclu-
sion which is reasonable, sensible and
logical. With M. Broussard's personal
influence as well as shis general popular
ity. Mr.. Wilkinson will be strengthened
into positive winner, while the San
dersites must feel the effect of this Cd
position.
