Buffalo Bill's Big Show.
The exhibitions of the great Wild West at Sixty-third street, opposite the world's fair, constantly grow in public favor and the enthusiasm of the spectators is unbounded. The character of the entertainment is so unique, its various features so realistic, and as an entirety it is so practically illustrative of the scenes, incidents and people who inhabit the prairies and mountains of the far west that it is not surprising that it has already become a fixed and powerful world's fair attraction. The Wild West is unprecedented as an attraction that introduces the identical characters of whom it tells. The Indians that take part in the entertainment are the very ones who were prominent in the stirring scenes of the frontier; the horses they ride are veritable untamed western products, and the scenes they enact have been actual occurences. The Cossacks, Arabs, Mexicans, and cowboys are not imitators, but are the genuine articles, and the military are actual enlisted members of the different corps they represent. Last, but the most prominent of all, is Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), whose record as scout, guide, and hero of the plains is attested by the highest military authority, and whose history is part of the history of the early days of the great wild west. The vast arena is crowded at every performance, there being two each day, not matter what the character of the weather. Chicago Times May 9/98

--Mrs. Nellie Cody Jester, from Leavenworth, Kans., is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. I.M. Yost. Mrs. Jester is a sister of the Hon. Wm. Cody, popularly known at home and abroad as "Buffalo Bill." Mr. Cody was at one time a resident of Hays City during the early pioneer days.

--Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Yost and family entertained a small circle of musical friends last evening. This will be simply an informal rehearsal," stated the host as the orchestra was invited into the bright parlors. A most enjoyable evening was found by all the cheerful guests. There were many vocal and instrumental contributions offered. The singing of the young folks present was very pleasing. Our space and modesty prevents a more extended report. Prof. Ward and other members of the talented orchestra decide that the singing of "The Old Oaken Bucket," by Mr. F.J. Harris, was something long to be remembered.
