In order to fitly appreciate the glorious
achievements of progress and civilization on
the American continent in testimony of which
the great, Columbian Exposition now stands
as a monument, it is necessary to consider in
contrast the earlier days of American history
on the frontier and to know the types and
characters of people which Columbus found
when he landed. Through the active enterprise
and business courage of Col. W. F.
Cody and Mr. Nate Salisbury, it is now made
possible for all visitors to the World's Fair
to see the actual living descendants of the
people who, timorous and hesitating, greeted
the great discoverer when he first set his
feet upon American soil. The Indians who
take part in Buffalo Bill's exhibition of the
Wild West are not actors in any sense of the
word; they present Indian life, customs, mode
of warfare and manners, of social amusement
as they actually live them at home.
That they are now here, living in peaceful, almost
fraternal intercourse with the "palefaces,"
whom they so long regarded as hereditary
foes, is due to their recognition of the personal
powers, integrity and magnetism of the
scout, guide and frontiersman, Col. W. F.
Cody (Buffalo Bill). Visitors to the World's
Fair can better appreciate the exhibits of
science, art, literature and civilization after
first seeing the types of people who were the
only inhabitants of America when civilization
reached out as a conquerer to place the
sign of progress on her shores. The Wild
West is a most appropriate annex to the
World's Fair and should be seen in connection
with it. Means of transportation are ample
and convenient, as all railroads going south
take their passengers to the very gates. Two
exhibitions are given daily (Sunday included)
at 3 and 8:30 p. m., rain or shine.

A NEW RICHMOND IN THE FIELD.

June 4 sees the ERIE LINES
place in service
two more trains.
Both solid; running through; no change.
One to New York, leaving Dearborn station 10:00
a. m. daily; the other goes to Columbus, O.,
7:45 p. m. every day.
Pullman sleeping-cars on both.--Adv.
