Buffalo Bill To-Night.

Lovers of the border drama will have a
treat to night at the Opera House in
Buffalo Bill's presentation of the "The Prairie
Waif." The piece is very interesting and
exciting, while the scenic effect which he
carries with him is admirable and well
adapted to the play. The drama deals
with life on the frontier, and as a consequence
is full of stirring scenes, which are
relieved at times by quaint humor and
touching pathos. The plot is the capture
by the Indians of a little child, her rescue
after years by the guide (Buffalo Bill,)
who carefully protects her till she becomes
a loving and beautiful woman, and in the
end is rewarded for his kindness by the
hand of the "Prairie Waif." A special
feature of the performance is the shooting
of Buffalo Bill, which is said to be really
marvelous. The troupe supporting him
is an excellent one throughout, and those
who attent to-night will witness an excellent
entertainment.
