The usual placard, when Buffalo Bill has the hall -- "Standing room only" -- was displayed over the Music Hall ticket-wicket, Thursday evening. Bill put on his play "Prairie Waife," the same which he produced on his last precious visit to Lewiston, with his customary dash. The smell of blank cartridges, the war-whoop of the Indian, and the crack of Buffalo Bill's potato-splitting rifle lent the atmosphere of the prairie to the theatre for the evening. There is no lack of excitement, or sulphur and brimstone in this play, and it has a modicum of tender romance, withal.
