from Gen. Hugh Iv. Scott, chief of
staff, and Gen. Nelson A. Miles.
Col. William F. Cody ("Buffalo
Bill"), hunter sofciier, 6cout and
showman, was for many years known
to nearly ev-ery man, woman, boy and
girl in America through his Wild West
show with which he toured this coun
try and Europe. He was a pictur
esque type of the pioneer frontiers
men and lived to see large cities built
^here be once hunted the buffalo
and fought Indians.
CoL William P. Cody was born in
-soott county, Iowa, February 26,
1846. His ancestral stock was Span
ish, English and Irish. His parents
moved West and took up a claim near
Leavenworth, Kan., then a frontier
Indian post, when Cody was five
years old. At ten years of age he
found himself the head of th<* family
owing to the death of his father who
was killed in an encounter growing
out of a dispute ov?r the negro slave
question. Young Cody's first employ
ment was as a courier between the
frpicht u"a?nn t ra in a rvnor'o + orl X*.
tween the Missouri river and the
Hooky mountains. In turn he became
wagon master, trapper, hunter, pon\
express rider and stage coach driver,
all giving a varied experience in a
school the graduation from which left
the scholar an adept in every possible
ltne of frontier activity.
An exciting experience in the Union
army as a soldier and subsequently
as a confidant and scout of his com
manders in the desultory and guerilla
warfare of the Southwest left him
at ith finish well known as an all
around frontiersman, competent to
advise, to guide and to lead. Thrse
qualities soon brought him to the at
tention of such distinguished com
manders as Gens. W. T. Sherman
Phil SQenaan, urooK, busier, i?er
ritt, Carr, Royal, Miles, Dodge nn1
others and secured his appointment
as chief of scouts in the United States
-army during its numerous Indian
campaigns in the West.
His career in this line identified
him with the great fighting epoch be
tween the red man and the white
man waged by Gen. Sheridan after the
War of Secession that temporarily
ended in 1876, but was effectively
finished in the Gaost Dance war in
the decisive battle of Wounded Knee
in 1890-91 campaign with the Xorfli
ern Sioux.
During the construction of the
Union Pacific railroad young Cody at
tached himself to a camp of United
States troops protecting the laborers
and" won his sobriquet of "Buffalo
Bill" by taking a contract to supply
the entire force with fresh buffalo
meat for a certain period, killing un
der one contract 4,280 buffaloes.
He killed the noted Cheyenne chief,
Yellow Hand, in the presence of In
dians and troops.
He became known to juvenile
America in the stories of Western
adventure written by E." C. Z. Judson,
who ?ruie uuucr uic uuiu uc jjiumc
of Ned Buntline.
With the advance of civilization,
finding his occupation on the West
ern plains gone, he w^nt on the stage
where he remained several years play
ing leading parts in dramas depicting
life on the frontier. Later in asso
ciation with-Nate Salisbury, he organ
ized his 'Wild West show with which
hp tnur.d this mimtrv for manv vears
and on one occasion visited the prin
cipal cities of Europe, "where h? was
warmly received and entertained by
royalty.
He was elected to* the Nebraska
egislature in 1872.'
Col. Cody in 1S66 was married to
Miss Louisa Frederiei.

German diplomats regard the re

and the entente has been made.
{ Several courses are open to tin

The entente statement of terms
regarded as presenting a *?gitimat(

MTiile the German diplomats de

entente reply, American officials madi
no attempt to estimate their real fee*

expectations. At any rate they re

Whether the president still hopes t<

statement of terms 13 not known.
Germany's reply, while holding t<
the idea of a conference to line: *
starting point, was not regarded a<
making other means impossible.
It is possible that the United Statei
might state to the central powers tha
as the entente has refused a confer

be glad if Germany could see its wa]
to make a similar statement.
This point and all others will no
