Mentally weakened by drugs he had been using to keep life In his body and urged to a state of desperation by the hopeless suf fering ho had undergone for months, H. D, Leonard of 1901 Holmes strcst shot himself with a revolver this morning. The bullet penetrated the brain and emerged In the back of tho head. Within half an hour ho expired. Death from natural causes would have been but n matter of a few days. Mr. Leonard has been afflicted with a bronchial trouble whlih contracted the muscles of his neck until breathing was almost an Impossibility. Ho lived In an almost continual state of semi-suffocation and with each succeeding day he grew worse. Morphine and strychnine were ad mlnUtcred In large doses for the purpose of relaxing the binding cords which shut out tho supply of air. No hope was held out for his recovery and gradually, almost Im perceptibly, It seemed, his mind was bo comlng affected by the use of the drugs. This morning Mr. Leonard must have reached the limit of suffering. He was ly ing on a couch In the sitting room of his home, struggling for breath. His mouth was continually parched and Ice water was kept at his side. About 10 o'clock the Ico melted and calling his little son Morton bo tent the lad Into the back yard to re plenish the supply. No one elso was in the Immediate vicinity, Rising from his placo lu tho living room Mr. Leonard must have proceeded to the bedroom. Lying on the dresser wai a 32- callber Smith & Wesson revolver. Reclin ing upon the bed he raised the weapdn to tho center of his forehead, Tho report which followed was heard by the neighbors. Rushing into the room they found the man lying quietly on the counterpane- ot the bed with a stream of blood trickling from the wound In front and another from the wound behind. Med ical aid was promptly summoned, but he was beyond human help. For almost two years Mr. Leonard has been a victim of tho affliction which drove him to take his own life. When first at tacked he was a farmer about six miles south ot the city. Last September, how ever, ho removed to the homo of his step daughter, Miss Dora G. Bachcllcr, and has slnco resided with her. Fourteen years ago Mr. Leonard came to Nebraska from Canton, N. v., and settled on tho farm whero ho spent tho rest of his days before removing to the city. He had been married twice, his second wife dying a year ago last January. Two children of his own survivo him. Clinton D., who Is employed at the Havelock shops, and Mor ton, a child by his second marriage and of tender years. Besides these Is the daughter of his first wife, Dora G. Ilachcller. Mr, Leonard was 60 yeors of age. STORE BURNED NEAR EUSTIS J. XV, Moore Finds Blflrd Money Drnrrrr and Jewelry Case In a Canyon. EUSTIS. Neb., July 19. (Special Tele gram.) J, W.

PliynlelniiN and DroKKlnta Protected AKalimt DnninKr .Sulla, Insurance of druggists against damago suits for mistakes In compounding Is pro posed, nnd It Is said that the moving cause Is a systematic attempt by some graceless persons to blackmail them. If the pre scription U so plainly written that correct reading is certain (which Is often not so), it would appear that thcro Is very little room for discretion on the part of a drug clerk, lie has no Information nbout thu use Intended, and even If he happened to know that a child was In the rase and if the Indicated dose seemed to him large, he could not Intervene; if the prescribed order Is clearly dangerous he should do- cllno to fill It, hut up to that degree of danger ho Is only an agent. Insuring physicians against malpractice cults seems moro practical In meeting a need, but certainly moro troublesome In carrying out. Who shall decide what malpractice Is and when it occurs?

Did you kill her?" Insurance of druggists or ot physicians, ns proposed, will be one form of "liabil ity;" the company writing tho policy will have to defend the case, -The results In practice will bo Interesting to note and the flexibility of application In tho Insurance principle U again illustrated.
