SURPRISE PARTY HELD On
FRIDAY BRILLIANT AFFAIR
STATE, COUNTY and CITY OFFICIALS WALK IN AND
SAY "HOWDY" To q RESIDENTS CHARG-
Ed With ILLICIT LIQUOR SALES

Last Friday evening n number of
state. county and city officials con-
Quoted a surprise party that was a
surprise party-not one of those
good old fashioned surprise parties
in which the guest, or guests. of
honor tried to look surprised when
they knew darn well that something
was going to be pulled off. Nope.
this was an actual surprise party
and the necessary element of sur
prise was the outstanding feature of
the whole business. We might say
in passing hat the party was n
of the most brilliant affairs ever
held in our fair city but here we
must stop tho brilliant. a good
time was not had by all. True, a
good time was had by somethe
surprisors, as it were. but not by
the surprisees-anything but a good
time was had by the guests of honor.
Things began to happen at $50
sharp and continued to happen for
a lumber of hours thereafter-in
fGft happenings v ceased and
there was still a lot going IN at the
county court house about the same
time the school children were wind
ing pretty ribbons around the may
pole in the gymnasium OF the high
school building. There was a May
fete taking place at the school house
but a different sort OF a fete at the
court house, $500 bond fete you
might say.
Then there was another element
noticeable in last Friday evening"
surprise party-that Is the amount
of tireless preparations which IL tool
to stage n party of this nature. w
speak of weeks OF work put In b,
the state law enforcement agents II
gathering first hand evidence o
local Illicit liquor traffic. And 81
thus II was that with the state. coun
ty and city officials cooperating
last Fridays surprise party wa
staged.

FIRST BALL GAME

IN INITIAL GAME

Next Sunday marks the opening
day for the U. p. Base Ball Season.
Next Sunday Rawlins will cross bats
with her ancient athletic rivals
Laramie.
The Laramie team will come to
Rawlins with one OF the strongest
lineup in southern Wyoming and the
ball tossers from the University town
are reported to be confident Of VIC
tory in the initial game. They may
be right-and then again let 1t be
remembered that there's many q
slip between cup and lip" and It In
highly probable that Rawlins will
supply the slip.
Local ball fans who have Witness

profess to be much enthused oveI
the prospects for the eason about te
start. In the very first work out sew

least four Of possibly five mighty fast

however. As the pob which at first

plenty Of men who played balI-well

ary chaps would not NIL the bill. A
search among the base ball play.
ers employed by the Union Pacifc
and also among the players living in
Rawlins but not employed by that
company revealed the material need
ed to round out a winning lineup.
SO thus Il II that Manager John
Cunning and his crew OF ball swat

sad team back to the town with
the state university.
Anyway Laramie Is going to start

NJ. c. Wachtel. head of the state

the city Friday when the arrests
last week, he said, was the first OF
n large number to be made in various
parts of the state.
Officials allege that the liquor
was purchased in a large portion OF
the places of business on Front

Among those cooperating with the
state law enforcement officers were:
Sheriff A. A.. Sanders and deputies
from his office: County and Prose-

Chief of Police Fred Hillenbrand and
the entire city police force.
According to Mr.. Wachtel. in q
statement made to a representative
of The Republican. IT is the inten-
ton OF his department to cooperate

not sufficient by making one raid

The work accomplished last week
was unusually thorough and 1t is
hoped that those who we're guilty
of selling liquor and not caught in
the raid will take heed and cese
further violation OF the law.

"MY OLD KENTUCKY HOME" 10 BIG HIT AT PALACE

"My-Old Kentucky Home, which opened at the Palace yheater last might. is one of the most interesting pictures We have seen ehus far this season. It contains more real hu- man interest than q dozen other pie stnros tha. have been shown here and carries a very good lesson as well.

PRISCILLA DEAN IS AT PALACE SUNDAY

The thread of romance that car ries tho interest through the plot of Wild Honey" the Universal-Jewei attraction at the Palace Theater next Sunday, is basod on the independence of spirit of Lady Viyienne, the Eng sish lady of rank who is the heroine of Cynthia Stoclleys novel, from which tho picture was filmed. Pris- ella Dean pcssrays the character.
 How many women would brave the dangers of a trip through the barren sraces of the Transvaal, alone and unacquainted with the nature of the country and it's people? Lady "Viy' does it for the sake of looking up the land which represents the only wealth she possesses. and which every one says isn't worth the paper on which the deed is printed.
 An independent spirit in a woman is one thing men always admire-un- til they get better acquainted with il, Bnt it can lead to Happiness, for the woman who has an indomitable spirit is sometimes the more easily domi- mated by the right man..
 .The right man" in Wild Honey is impersonated by Robert Ellis.

Important to all Women
 Readers of this Paper.

Thousands upon thousands of women have kidney or bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder sdisease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased
 You may suffer pain in the back, headache and loss of ambition.
 Poor health makes you nervous, irritable and may be Respondent; 1t makes any one so.
 But hundreds of women claim that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Roo by restoring health to the kidneys, proved to be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.
 Many send for a sample bottle to see what Swamp-Hoot. the great kidney, liver and bladder medicine will do for them. By enclosing ten cents to Dr. Kilmer X Co., Bing- hamton, N. Y., you may receive sample size bottle by Parcel Post You can purchase medium and large size bottles at all drug stores
