As He Is known Abroad.

Buffalo Bill" who is known all over the
country as Col. William Cody, the propria.
tor Of the wild west show, and of splen lid
ranch IN Nebraska on the Uulon Pacific
railroad near Grand Island, has recently, by
reason of difficulty with one Fred May,
attracted the attention of English Journal
lists. Here is what the London Globe has
to say of him: "The cablegrams announce
that Col. Cody. who will be remembered in
London, has been returned as mayor of Ne
braska. No better selection could have
been made. Col. Cody was the friend of
man named Boone, who discovered Ken
lucky in 49,. After marrying the grand.
daughter of distinguished gentleman
known as Sitting Bull Frog. Cody was
twice governor of Chicago. and at one time
was mayor of the Arkansas legislature. He
also served in the confederate army under
Ben Butler. who so gallantly defended New
Orleans against Gen. Longstreet. The
province of Detroit rewarded him for his
military services BY .euding him to con-
gress. where he introduced bill for the
lief of the citizens of Buffalo. It was i"
this that he got his name Buffalo Bill
While Mr.. Cody has large ranch ia st.
Louis, he finds time for literature and writes
for the Atlantic Monthly, newspaper edi-
ted by Mark Twain and Uncle Thomas
CABIN, gentleman who made fame by his
negro dialect sketches.

Ferdinand Grass, keeper of the Willard
boarding house and saloon, at the foot OF
Twenty-first street, was the victim of an
assassin's pistol at 1910 O'Clock Monday
night So far as is known at present, 1t
was one of the most unprovoked murders

assassin or assassins are Is fact yelled
in mystery, and what the motive was Is
another unsolved problem, but the most
reasonable supposition is that it was rob

The victim was shot down while standing
in the doorway of his place, preparatory
to closing up for the night. Grass wife

where she discovered her husbands pros

An interesting story comes on the best
authority from the house of representa-
tives at Washington. Congressman w.
R. Ellis, of Oregon, has a bright young
son who enjoys the cartoons of the
Pr~@s. The boy was especially struck
with the cartoon in Sundays Press
which represented Cleveland with cage
full of cuekoos. endeavoring to tempt
the senate, labeled as the American
eagle, to be caught by his crumbs of
patronage. ooh, papa, what are those
birds in the eager" cried young Ellis
to his father. The congressman replied !:
''That is Mr.. Cleveland, my son, with a
cage full of cuckoos." "Oh, papa" ex-
claimed the innocent, "please take me to
the white house to see the cuckoos.
Perhaps he will give me cuckoo :"
The reply of Mr. Ellis, who is one of the
best Republicans in the house, is not re-
corded, but at latest accounts he had not
been to the white house for cuckoo.
