59A Fascinating Representation of Life in the Far West. A foreigner, had he been present at the Opera House last night, could have readily appreciated the fascination which anything like arepresentation of frontier life holds over the average American. To our people, the stirring, shifting scenes of life as depicted by those who are familiar with the far West, are as attractive as are the parades and pomps of nobility to the European. "Buffalo Bill" and "Texas Jack" filled the measure of expectation last night in their admirable representation of border life. They took the enthusiastic youth (and many old roosters, too, who were there) by the hand and led them out on the illimitable prairies, showed 'em Ingins, made 'em feel for their scalps, and then brought 'em back to Springfield again, and turned 'em loose from the Opera House, to go home gulping a Comanche yell in their throats, and to bed to dream of buffalo tongues, Jack rabbit cars, sage brush, alkali water and tamarack swamps. It's a big show, no shooting to frighten timid folks, and this is the last night. Take it in, everybody. It is thrilling, highly respectable and immensely enjoyable. Matinee this afternoon. There was only standing room last night. Go early. | 59A Fascinating Representation of Life in the Far West.
