...season compliments Mr.
...ghly on his improvement as
...nd the audience on this [?]
...the very impersonation of physi
...manhood will be entertained with
interesting drama of border life.

There is nothing of gthe rough and bois
terous nature about the play no more
than is to be found in "Davy Crockett,"
or the "Danites" and this new departure
is drawing every where large audiences of
ladies, and the best of show-going people.

HON. W. F. CODY.

Phoeian Howard, editor of the Danville,
Hts., Democratic Bourbon, says in his paper:

"We are glad that our people will have
an opportunity to see Buffalo Bill in his
last and greatest dramatic sensation. We
were present in the Nebraska legislature
when Mr. Cody's resignation was read,
and know that he was not only honorably
elected, but greatly disapointed his many
friends by refusing to enter into political
life, choosing rather the ambition of his
boyhood, that of becoming what he really
is, "a Knight of the Plains."

We know Mr. Cody well, having been
with him in three campaigns among the
Indians, the last being the memorable
Custer campaign of the Big Horn, against
Sitting Bull. We hear kind witness that
Buffalo Bill is the idol of the army and the
frontiersman, and the dread of the Indian.

A BAND OF INDIANS.

A new and novel feature of the Buffalo
Bill Combination this season is the intro
duction of a genuine band of Indian
Chiefs, from the Pawnee and Ponca tribes
direct from their reservstion in the Indi
an Territory, under the immediate charge
of Mr. W. F. Cody; also, Master Eddie
Burgese, or Pe-risk-y-la-shar, the Boy
Chief of the Pawnees, the youngest chief
of which any record is given among the
entire Indian nation. His rendering of
the "Wolf Dance" and the "Horse Dance"
are truly realistic.

BUFFALO BILL'S SHOOTING.

THe fancy rifle shooting of Buffalo Bill
is not offense to ladies or sensitive peo
ple as might be supposed. The rifle he
uses does not make a loud report. He
shoots with marvelous accuracy, standing
sitting, lying and stoopingm backward and
forward, taking aim backward from a
looking glass, etc.

Look out for the novel street parade,
Saturday, soon after the arrival of the
colmpany. Buffalo Bill and his Indian
Chiefs mounted on horseback, will be led
by Mr. Cody's own Military Band.
