Positive Farewell of Buffalo Bill,
Worlds Greatest Indian Fighter,
Scout and PIainsman.
Fifty years ago col W. F. Cody, af-
fectionately known throughout the en-
tire world as Buffalo Bill, made his bid
for fame and fortune. He says mis- work
is done, all the honors mankind can be-
stow on fellow man have been heaped
upon him. and now, in the fullness of
his glory, Col Cody announces his posi-
tive retirement from active life. He
seeks a rest well requited. and the
good will and heartiest well wishes
come to him from his million friends
Buffalo Bill is still a sturdy speci-
men of that great far west; he has not
measured his full length of time; ne
seeks the recompense so justly, so nobly
earned-peaceful days away from the
glamor. the noise, the thrill and excite
ment consequent upon his unusual life
Of activity Buffalo Bill will outliEe
history-his fame will go to future gen
erations as one of the greatest Ameri-
can characters-there isn't a man, child
of Yesterday, or a child, man OF tomor-
row, that will not express sincere re-
greet at his leave taking. He has de-
cided. The step will be final. Satur-
day. October 20 he and his great Wild
West and Pawnee Bits Far East ex-
hfbition will come to this city.
1t will be Col. Cody'S last visit; his
final farewell to ais myriad of friends
and admirers.
The Wild West and Far East exhibit
ton will continue Col. Cody leaves
the active management to his partner,
Major Gordon W. Lille (Pawnee Bid.
For years Col Cody has labored to
make his Wild West what it is-the
greatest attraction of its lind ever pre-
scented to an amusement-loving public;
it will continue as such, living tesu-
monial to his struggles, his hardsh1ps,
his honors and glory
Col. Cody will positively arrive at
every performance this season, rain
or shine-he wants to bid you good
bye in person, to acknowledge his deot
of gratitude for the continuous loyalty
of a great nation for so many years
Every feature of the Wild West and
Far East this season has been i'm
proved, new acts added, sensations OF
every kind joined to the refining influ-
ence of Oriental and Occidental splen-
dor.
The Battle of Summit Springs, IA
nous in the history of indian warfare,
will be even more vivid than before;
there will be the most wonderful col
lection of trained horses ever seen un-
der one mana cement. Then for those
W
many of them-will be given in the
broncho busting acts; the Zouave drills,
the cavalry dashes; the marvellous death
daring Cossacks; the attack of the
caravan: the train robbery; life in the
Wild West as it was years ago, and
many more features of vital interest.
These alone would constitute the Ordin-
airy entertainment, and that's just
where the distinction of the Buffalo
Bill and Pawnee Bill exhibition rests
This is not an ordinary show Add to
the heart quivering deeds of daredevil
heroisppof the Wild West the pageantry
tinsel. flash and silken rustic of the
gem-studded and swarthy skinned act
ors from the Far East. Feats of tumOling
occult mysteries of magic from the
burning desert sandS-and you have but
a slight mental picture of what you will
see when bidding an affectionate fare
well to the greatest of them all-the
world-famous Buffalo Bill.-Adv.
