lake Charles Press Denounces IV Strongly In reference to the act of lawless individuals in burning a bridge on the Southern Pacific road in Calcasieu parish the other night the Lake Charles Press condemns the act in the following dignified but positive language Charles had better have the yellow fever than have the reputation of having had the slightest connection with the lawlessand riotous burning of the Southern Pacific bridge last night The affair is deplorable because it will be charged that the citizens' movement is responsible for that spirit However the executive committee has quickly responded by denouncing the affair and offering a reward for the capture of the incendiary It is to be hoped the guilty parties can be brought to justice The law must be supreme and Calcasieu's reputation demands that any approach to mob rule shall be put down at tvhaiever MR REMAINS Will Be Shipped to Kaunas Burial for Dr Schumpert surgeon in charge of the Charity hospital

an aptitude for finding articles that are lost We have seen a good many wet hens our time but have never yet seen one that was mad Eyery woman according to the story she tells to her second husband was forced into her Srsi marriage by the wishes of her parents We have never yet seen a man to whom short pants and golf stockings were becoming This world will not le entirely satisfactory to the women until some man has given birth to a baby A manwho builds a new house is criticised as much as a woman who giyes a party A woman who can pick out a good cantaloupe is mighty proud of her knowledge and she ought to be A woman wbo knows a good cantaloupe smarter than one who knows all about the llolv Grail- MORE' FACTORIES NEEDED Shrccport Offer- a Them ine I ield ior What Shreveport needs and should have is more manufacturing enterprises to give lucrative employment to the laboring classes There is no city anywhere which offers a better field for factories It has a navigable river and railroads leading out in every direction which offers the lowost possible freight rates and unsurpassed shipping facilities A large furnUure factory would pay handsome dividends on the investment while this is an ideal point for such a plant for the reason that the finest timber for the manufacture of furniture can be bad in abundance and in great variety right at the factory door we might say There are other classes of factories which would pay handsomely in Shreveport but there is an especially fine opening for a furniture factory on a lhrge scale Let an effort be made to secure such an enterprise A CAR FAMINE Arkanxa Lumbermen Fill Order on Account of It Little Rock Oct 25 There is a car famine in Arkansas which is seriously affecting the lumber market It is eiusing a
