BUFFALO BILL.

To-night Buffalo Bill and company will
appear at the Keokuk opera house in
"Prairie Waif." The New York Herald
is commenting on this drama says:

"Buffalo Bill made a triumphant debut
in his new play. The 'Prairie Waif' was
produced for the first time in the Windsor
theatre last evening. It is the best border
drama we have ever seen. Buffalo Bill
was, of course, the central figure, and deservenly
obtained the recognition of the
large audience present. His sharp-shooting
was excellent and his acting was vigorously
and natural. Some of the points he
made last night were very effective and
artistic. It is but just to say that he has
wonderfully improved as and actor. He
has selected for his company artists who
are mindful of the public demand for
clever acting."
