BUFFALO BILL.

On next Thursday evening Buffalo Bill
in Prairie Waif will appear at the Keokuk
opera house. The play is one of the
strongest border dramas ever written and
in it Mr. Cody appears to splendid advantage.
The Clinton Age speaks of the performance
as follows: "Bill himself
showed to splendid advantage. His rifle-
shooting beats anything we ever saw. The
company supporting is a strong one- all
are good. The Indians are the pure genuine
article. Bill always performs just
what he advertises and more too, hence
the secret of his success. He always has
big houses and justly deserves them."
