BUFFALO BILL.

Will the Youths of St. Joseph be Benefitted
by His Performance Here.

Buffalo Bill, the scout and his six trained
Indians, with revolvers, bowie knives and
rifles, will run the people out the opera
house with their hideous yells and blood and
thunder performance to-morrow night. The
News doesn't object to such performances if
the people doesn't, but we are under the impression
that mothers will not care to take
their sons to see such a sensational play.
There are too many blood and thunder papers
and dime novels lying upon the counters of the
news stands throughout the country for the
good of the rising generation. How many
young men have become hard characters and
led [?] and desperate lives by reading sensational
papers of this character and
dreaming of Indian treachery until they become
satisfied in their own minds that they are
equal to any bloody emergency. The best
thing parents can do is to keep dime novels,
sensational papers, etc., out of their
children's reach and not allow
them the privilege of attending plays that
will leave a bad impression upon their minds.
Mr. Cody himself, is an intelligent gentleman,
but his six ignorant Indians are not the people
to better the morals of this or any other community.

The people demand sensible and refined
plays, and the opera house will never be well
patronized until they procure more Charlotte
Thompsons, Mary Andersons, Rochelles, Fredrick
Wards, etc.

Negro minstrels and shows of such a character
would do well to stay out of St. Joseph,
for they will never meet with the patronage or
success they expect. There is only one minstrel
show that will ever meet with success in
St. Joseph, and that is Haverley's mastodon
minstrels, that performed here last season.
The NEWS will always give them a hearty
welcome for they are deserving of the patronage
of the public.
