Summer is really here, and the mer-
curry rises and remains in a manner
surprising to ,denizens Of this cool
cline. Outing parties are making
much OF 1t, however, and dances at
Centennial. as well as the park hops,
are quite the fashion. A large number
OF out-of-town guests are enjoying Lar
amie's salubrious temperature, and
many functions are being arranged for
their pleasure, several announcements
having already been made for next
week.
Yesterday was the birthday of Mr..
Elmer T. Beltz, and Mrs. Beltz, who
says he is "16 and has v been
Kissed" decided it was high time he
had a party, so when he reached home
for his 6 O'Clock dinner, sixteen
friends were assembled to assist him
in the discussion of a repast which
added laurels to the culinary reputa-
ton Mrs. Beltz has already won. Mrs.
s. II. Campbell assisted Mrs. Beltz in
necessary serving, but the boys were
left largely to themselves, and the par
Tors OF the Beltz residence this morn
ing resemble the vicinity of Vesuvius
after an eruption. The party included
Hon. N. X. Boswell, S. H. Campbell,
j. H. Davis, w. C. Thomas, H. A. Con
den, H. ID. Beemer, Jesse Converse, DR..
Miller, c. S. Greenbaum, E. j. Bell, J.
w. johnson, Hon. Otto Gramm, Judge
Carpenter, C. w. Berry, Henry Rice
and Warren Beltz, and one and all
sincerely hope hat Mrs. Beltz may see
fit to celebrate in a similar n all
the future birthdays of her liege lord.
