City Experiments
With New Rattler
for Testing Brick
The city engineering department U ex
perimenting with a new rattler for test
ing brick. It may result in a better class
of paving In Omaha, owing to the sever
ity of the tsts. Concerning the new rat
tler City Engineer Craig said:
"Some' years ago the brick manufactur
ers recommended to the different cities
a rattler that was made with cast iron
or steel staves, using cast Iron squares
and rectangular shot In the rattler for
testing paving brick.
"It became apparent, however, that a
great variety of tests of the same brick
could be made according to the hardness
or softness of the cast Iron composing
the staves and shot. In short, it was not
a standard test. To obviate this the asso
ciation adopted a rattler having rolled
channel steel, with a steel liner for
staves, and circular shot made of mallea
ble steel under a specific chemical mix
ture. "The new rattlers are made under a
very definite and minute specification.
"The city laboratory Is trying out the
new rattler with a series of Blxty tests
run with the old and new rattler at the
same time, making a comparison to be
used In the framing of new specifications
for the coming year. As far as can be
observed at this time with only a part of
the tests made, the new rattler will be
much more severe than the one in use."
West Receives Fee
for Defending Man
Who Pleads Guilty
Por defending Fred llerley. the aged
man who shot and killed his sweetheart,
the former wife of Samuel Morris, and
pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge,
Attorney Joel V. West was paid a fee
of :'5 by the Hoard of County Commis
sioners. At first the board was Inclined
to think the charge exorbitant, but after
some argument by Mr. West It allowed
the claim. Mr. West showed that Judge
William A. Redlck.' before whom llerley
pleaded guilty, and Judge Iee 8. Estelle
had approved the charge. Me cited the
fact that by having llerley plead guilty
he saved the county the K500, pCO or 1400
expense of a trial, though he said It waa
best for his client. He mentioned that he
pays M.jCfl a year taxes.,
Mr. West said he did almost as much
work preparing for trial as he would have
done had he gone to trial. He said It Is
customary to pay IJCiO or $400 for defence
of persons charged with first degree
murder when they have no means to em
ploy counsel. The commissioners dif
fered with him here, Mr. O'Connor say
ing he ought to "lop oft" wrt of his bill.
Commissioner Bedford said the board
m!ght as well allow the bill, as a refusal
or rejection of part of It would result In
the Judges coming before the board to
urge the allowance of the full amount.
Commissioner Lynch aald the Judges
Must know what the services were worth.
The claim was allowed by unanimous
vote.

Take it from any angle, Prince Albert simply measures rigt
up to every idea of what a smoke should be. Pack in your
old jimmy and it opens up a new delight in pipe-smoking.
Roll up a cigarette and you have the finest paper-coated
smoke ever compounded. Burns evenly with, none of that
dic-out-between-whiffs habit. v And doesn't burn up in tiash
like dried-out, powdery tobaccos. P. A. is long-burning and
holds its fire close in either cigarette or pipe.
Nouf, Mr, Man you who think you can't
smoke a pipe give P. A. the third degree in
YOUR jimmy pipe. You'll find .all its
promises right in bloom. ;
You can bank on one thing, dead certain Prince
Albert won't bite your tongue. The biter is all
taken out by the patent process that we spent
three years and a fortune to perfect.
All live tobacco shops, in 10 cent tins, 5 cent bags
handy for cigarette makin's, half-pound and pound
tin humidors with moistener pads in top, and
pound glass humidors with a sponge in the lid.
