TOUR Of BUFFALO BILL
To CROWN FAMOUS LIFE

Fifty years ago Col w. F. Cody,
affectionately known throughout the
entire world as Buffalo Bill, made his
lid for fame and fortune. His work
is done, all the honors mankind can
bestow on fellow man have en-
heaped upon him, and now, in the
fullness of his glory Col. Cody an
nounces his positive retirement from
active life. He seeks rest we'll re-
Quilted. and the good will and heartiest
we'll wishes come to hira from his mill
lion friends.
Buffalo Bill Is still sturdy speci-
men Of that great far west; he has
not measured his full length of time;
he seeks the recompense so justly, so
nobly earned-peaceful days away
from the glamour, the noise, the thrll4
and excitement consequent upon his
unusual life of activity. Buffalo Bill
will outlive history-his fame will go
to future generations as one of the
greatest American characters-there
isn't a man, child of yesterday, or a
child, man of tomorrow, that will not
express sincere regret at his leave
taking. He has decided. The step Will
be final. Within a few days he and
his great Wild West and Pawnee BllPs
Far East exhibition will come to this
city.
COLONEL CODY's FAREWELL TOUR
1t will be Col. Cody's last visit; his
final farewell to his myriad of friends
and admirers.
The Wild West and Far East exhi-
bitlon will continue. Gel. Cody leaves
the active management to his partner,
Major Gordon w. Lille (Pawnee BID.
For years Col. Cody has labored to
oh hi Wild Vast what II iS-Ihe
greatest attraction of its kind ever
presented to an amusement loving
public; it will continue as such, liy-
ing testimonial to his struggles, his
hardships, his honors and glory
Col. Cody will positively arrive at
every performance this season, rain
or shine-he wants to lid you good
by in person, to acknowledge his debt
of gratitude for the continuous loyalty
of a great nation for 50 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 in
fluence of oriental and occidental
splendor.
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
under one management. Then for
those who crave excitement, thrill
and many of them-wil be given in
the broncho-busting acts; the Zouave
drills, the cavalry dashes; the mar
velous death-daring Cossacks; the at
tack of the caravan; the train rob-
berry; life in the wild west as it was
years ago, and many more features of
vital interest.
THRILLING WESTERN FEATs
These alone would constitute the
ordinary entertainment, and that's
just where the distinction of the Buf-
falo Bill and Pawnee Bill exhibition
rests. This is not an ordinay show.
Add to the heart-quiyoring deeds of
daredevil heroism of the wild west
the pageantry tinsel, flash and silken
rustic of the gem studded and
swarthy skinned actors from the far
east Feats of tumbling, occult mys-
teries of magic from the burning des-
ert sands-and you have but a slight
mental picture of what you will see
when bidding an affectionate farewell
to the geratest of them al--the world
famous Buffalo Bill.
