THE PASSING THRONG.

Captain William H. Bisbee, who is with the
Fourth infantry at Fort Sherman, in Idaho, is at
the Northern hotel, having come to the Sound
on pleasure trip. Captain Bisbee, who has
spent his time since the war west of the Miss
issippi river, has seen good deal OF the Indian
fighting which has been carried during the
last twenty-five years "The West WAS full of
Indians when 1 came out here,' said he last
night. "They rosrned through Dakota, Mon
tana, Wyoming, Nebraska aud Kansas, killing
buffao, and living the life OF true savaces At
the time OF my first visit to Omaha Il OF rail-
road ran into the place. and have seen buffalo
in plenty where Ksarney City now stands" In
speaking OF Fort sherman, Captain Bisbee said:
ave expect soon TO be connected with Spokane
by an electric road before another year is out
The distance is only thirty miles and the falls
at Spokane and al Post Falls supply plenty OF
power for generating electricity The run can
be made in an hour, so they tell US, and CCaur
Alene lake can thus be brought near enough
Spokane to be one OF that city's pleasure re-

John J. Bogardus, the grain and feed dealer
used to be farmer in Illinois. On one occa-
sion he shipped car &: broom-corn to a Chi
cago commission man to sell for him. Some
time afterward he went to Chicago and, calling
on the man. he asked what broom corn was
worth. The fellow did not know him and asked
If he wanted to buy. He replied that he did,
and was taken out in the warehouse 70 exam
inc the stock. He finally got his eye on some of
what he himself had shipped in and suggested
that il was excellent stock, judging from appear
ance. but he thought the best grade had been
put outside and the poorer inside il the bund les
The dealer disagreed with him in this but after
pulling out a few handouts, the assumed buyer
insisted that the inside contained the poorer
grade. Finally the dealer in a confidential way
admitted that there was some difference and
added: "Ihose d farmers will cheat some in
spite OF US" Mr.. Bogardus then explained who
he was and laughed heartily at the way the Joke
had turned on himself.
