character of nutrment offered them; but within a week or ten days they take kindly to the new bill of fare and do justice to it.
 On the other hand, some are so pleas ed with their new conditions of living that they are like beginner on cham pagne feast-they can't get enough of it. Once in a while this results in an explosion; the animal practically kills himself on fast living. During the first ten days they are fed on light screen- ings, and after that they are supplied with richer grain. Sheep might be laid off at St. Paul for few days, for in- stance, after their long journey from the Montana ranches, and then shippa d to the Chicago market; but the inereas- ed weight they had derived while here would evaporate before they reached their destination. That is not regarded as in any sense fattening. It is simply feeding or stuffing. Time is necessary to effect assimilation of food and con- densation into flesh. Thus the feed for a period of sixty or ninety days becomes a contribution to the weight of the ani- nal, which is, in certain sense, perma- nent and which cannot be appreciably reduced within a reasonable period of transit.
 There are two feeding seasons for sheep here-the autumn and the spring. At this period of the year the autumn supply is coming forward for feeding and preparation for the winter market. By the time this Is exhausted the spring lots begin to arrive. Thus 1t happens that by June 1, when the clipping seas on begins, there are large numbers of sheep right hereabouts whose winter feeces are clipped by their owners in transit to market. This provides an ex- celle nt supply to the feeders at this sta- tion. This industry has increased here year by year since the establishment of inc wards local dealer said vester- day that about 35,000 sheep were shorn here last spring, and he estimates that the number will be largely increased during the coming season. One of the largest stock yards firms will put in shearing machines for next years clip ping. These machines or instruments are something like improved horse clip pers. They are operated by steam pow CT or electricity. The work Is accom- plished rapidly The sheep are shorn with great uniformity and without the cutting of the skin and flesh so often resulting from the hand methods which until recently, so generally prevailed.
 There is no breeding at these feeding stations, and lambs are rarely dropped. The stock that comes forward consists, for the most part, of wethers and lambs. The wethers are superior for mutton uses The ewes are retained on the ranches until they are from to years old. when they are sent to market as an inferior grade for mutton product
 Only small percentage of the sheep fed here are sold for local use, probably not more than 1b>per cent. The indica- tions are, at present. that about 350,0 900 sheep will be fed here during this season, which will be something like an excess of 100000 over the last years number, and it is believed that at least 30 per cent. more than last year will be fed at the South St. Paul station.

it isn't a good drain," said Gayle, and there was laughter.
 MT. Gayle duplicates others
 Have you done work for which you did not have a permit ?" asked MT. Lowe.
 ''Yes, several times." replied the witt ness.
 The audience saw somsthing ludicrou's in the situation and laughed, but they did not know what was coming.
 'I don't deny that I have stolen in nsiny jobs of work, and there isn't a plumber in town who hasn't,' was the startling announcement of MT. Gayle, and there was such an uproar that Chairman Psarce came near s,plhtting the gaveq to quell it.
 MT. Gayle, on being closely questioned, acknowledged that he had once been credited for $3 by MT. Kendrick and waited almost a year bafore paying 1t. In answer to "a direct question he said he had never been shown the favor since, but that other men had, and he thought this Wlas partiality. What business We're you in before coming to Elnningham?" asked MT. Lowe.

 'Yes."
 ship?"

 With whom?"
 "Wiuh myself" answered Gayle. and there was more laughter.
 There was some testimony which went to prove that MT. Hill, who was mama ger of the Alabama Gas Fixtures and Plumbing company, which it is allsged was shown partia1:ty by MT. Kendrick, is an honorary member of the Master Plumbers association.
 Then MT. Lowe asked the witness how many times he had been an applicant for the office of plumbing inspector. Never. would not have it," said the witness scornfully.
 He scratched his head. and said: 'sWell, believe did tell the boys once that if they would endorse me and the place was open I would take it.''
 There was evidence of amusement. NIr Lowe said: "You put yourself in the hands of your friends, did your" The witness laughed himself.
 The city attorney then picked up a copy of an afternoon paper and at the same time asking the question:
 "Do you know the degree of elevation or depression pipe should be for self fiushing?''
 The witness was confused, and al> n4ted he did not.
 What would be the flow per minute?
 Wi,ns ss still confused.
 ''How would you calculate the flow in 4-inch drain pipe at fall of 1-2O?"
 T will acknowledge that I don't know how to calculate i,," answered the wit ness.
 And yet you cla m to be pretty good plumber?" rejoined the attorney, and he read the following from an afternoon paper:
 What does MT. Kendrck know about wiping joints or connecting joints, the diffe: kinds of sol pipe and waste pipe, or grease pans, or sanitary arrange merits for the house? It is not in his line of business. I'll venture to say that he can't tell to save h.s life what degree of elevation or depression sewer

did spirits after the close of the first chapter of the investigation. The plumb CTS did little talking, although Attorney Tanner said the finale had not yet been reached.
 The plumbers filed a long specification of cases to be testified to by witnesses to prove their charges of incompetency. partiality and prejudice against City Engineer Kendrick as sanitary inspector.
 Started With MT. Gayle.
 The plumbers started the testimony by introducing MT. Gayle, the proprietor of a plumbing establishment on Third ave- nue.
 Certain casss were cited where Mr. Gayle was of the opinion that the plumb ing work was bad and should not have been endorsed. Among them was the residence of Chief Mullen, of the fire de- partment. Gayle said that several wash stands and sinks were not properly ven tilated, and gave it as his opinion that the work was contrary to the plumbing laws and would not have been endorsed by competent plumbing inspector.
 Chief Mullen wanted to interrupt the witness and make an explanation, but was prevented by MT Lowe, who said he would be given an opportunity to testify.
 Another case was that of the residence of one Mr. Kirkpatrick. Gayle said he was called there about two years ago to do some work. He had to connect with a sewer pipe. When he tapped the sewer he found that the water ran out, and thought the pipe was stopped up somewhere, but on further investi- gation he found that it was not
 He accounted for this by the pressure being turned toward the house, instead of the street, as he claimed it should have been. The residence belonged to MT. Morson.
 q went to him. said Gayle, land told him the condition of the pipe Nor son said it couldn't be so, because MT. Kendrick had given him certificate on the work. told him I would bet s1O0 that it was so, and when he examined it he agreed with me. A competent plumb CT would not have passed on such work"
 The-next case cited was that of some work done in the Opera House hotel about two years ago. Gayle said that he was called to make an estimate of the work. He did so and put in a bid for $S1. There was some dispute as to the price and another man did the work for $11. He examined it and found it bad. He declared that no competen inspector would ever have passed on this work
 That Charge of Partiality
 To sustain the charge of p2r.tiality Attorney Tanner asked Gayle if he knew of any case where the city engineer al- lowed plumb, rs to overdraw when s25 had to be deposited for permit fees He promptly answered in the affirmative, and said the Alabama Gas Fixture and Plumbing company had overdrawn to the extent of S14. H. said he had never bsssn allowed any such privilege, and orce had to borrow money to pay the fee. He declar.d that Kendrick Ina l always put him to as much trouble as possJ5ls and that he had once been ar- rested and firisd s1O by Judge Feagin, had taken an a-peal and would now fight the case before Judge Greene.

 "Capn, you've insulted and abused me on this trip, and sure as I'm alive, when l grow up to be man, I'll lay for and lick you If Pm abler'
 Years rolled on and the boy cook be- came master of a ship and could thrash almost any man of his inches and weight. In Portland one day he was passing by the Falmouth hotel when he encountered, face to face, his former Grand Banks captain and accosted him by name. The captain, surprised, al- lowed he had not the pleasure of the others acquaintance, but the former Bath boy refreshed his memory with the circumstances of that fishing trip and added:

 Everyone saw the point, and Chair man Peanee was again forced to use his gavel vigorously before order was re- stored.
 Mir. Lunsford on the Stand
 MT. Lunsford was the next witn= ss called by Mir. Tanner
 Before he could be examined Mr. Gayle was recalled to testify about the Barnes case, which had bsen forgotten, where he was directed by Kendrick to dig in a certain place for a ~" and had not found it.
 In explaining why the case was not cited in the specification Gayle said: 1T received a note from MT. Tanner yesser- day saying the meeting would be held tonight and we must get up some charges to start the ball rolling. gave him those I could remember just then and forgot this case.
 The jist of MT. Lunsferd's testimony was that he had been directed where he could find sewer in Sev=nth avenue. He went down twenty feet and failed to find it. When he did find 1t there was no "Y," ani1 he put in one, for which he was paid $3. He rendered a larger bill, but this was objected to by Kendrlsk.
 E. D. Stockton was next called. He pronounced MT. Kendrick incompetent. George Greedy was introduced by MT. Tanner. When asked if, in his opin- ion, Kendrick was incompetent he said: q have always done my work accord. ing to rules and have never had reason to find fault"
 Mir. Barbour was then called.
 "He got sick a few moments ago and left" someone said.
 MT. Wright, the next witness, said he did not consider Kendrick a competent inspector, as he had never been prac- tical plumber.
 When asked if he considered Gayle an expert plumber, he said that he did not.
 The trial was then adjourned until Monday night.

From the Butte Independent.
 He was 8. Bath boy, who, when B or 14 years old, went to sea as cook on a fishing schooner.

THE GREAT BATTLE.
Tonight and Tomorrow at the Grand
Opera House

Tonight and Tomorrow at the Grand
Opera House.
The great facsimile of the Corbett-
Fitzsimons fight which took place at
Carson, Nevada, last March, will be re-
produced at the Grand Opera House
tomorrow night and Sunday matinee
by the Cineograph, lifesize and with
startling reality. The Cineograph re-
production of the fourteen rounds is
one of the grandest exhibitions of the
manly art.
The pictures are made up of viewing
the actions of the two pugilists, the
most conspicuous feature of the fight,
such as Fitz played from time to time
in the sixth round and the exciting
scenes of the thirteenth and fourteenth
rounds are illustrated very fine. The
Sixth, thirteenth and fourteenth rounds
are one of the greatest exhibitions of
the manly art that have ever been re-
produced with the Cineograph. This
is the first reproduction of the great
fight in this city and no one should fail
to see il.
The pictures were given a prelimi-
nary trial at the Grand yesterday af-
ternoon and were highly successful,
especial so the last round in which
Corbett after being knocked out jumps
up and tries to get another chance at
"Fitz." The prices are Is and so cents.
