BUFFALO BILL.

Buffalo Bill, the great scout, and his company, visit this city next Friday evening, when they present the sengational border drama, "The Prairie Waif," at the Keokuk opera house, with a band of Pawnee Indians, special scenery, etc. Bill never fails to draw a crowded house. The Cleveland Leader says: "Meanwhile, at the Academy of Music, Buffalo Bill and his combination drew an immense crowd. The house was not only full, but long before the curtain rose people were turned away from the doors because there was not even standing room. For half an hour Bank street was full of a double line of people, one going towards the academy, the other returning because there was no room for them obtainable in the house."
