HASTINGS. Neh, Feb. 1s,-(special Tele-
gram. )-Postmaster Louis b. Partridge Of
Kenesaw committed suicide at 1880 o'clock
this afternoon by shooting himself in the
head. He died almost instantly. The cause
Of Partridge's taking his " life is at
tributed to the governments claim that he
was nearly $500 short in his accounts.
When Mr.. Partridge went to the post
office this morning he seemed cheerful, but
when a postofice inspector took charge OF
his books he showed, considerable agitation
and his nervousness Increased as the In
s~pection continued. He went home at noon
and, going direct to his bedroom. he placed
a S2-caliber revolver directly behind his
right ear and pulled the trigger, He died
a few minutes later. ..

EFFORTS TO CHANGE RULES
Daughters of Revolution Have Under
Consideration Fifteen Pro-
posed Amendments.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-The Daughters
Of the American Revolution plunged into
the consideration Of proposed constitutional
amendments at the outset of today's session
Of their convention. Many of these changes
were pending, only two out of the seven
teen submitted having been disposed Of yet.
The delegates were tardy in assembling and
1t was long after the session had been
called to order before the auditorium and
galleries were even comfortably filled. The
opening prayer was delivered by Mrs.
William A. Smoot of Virginia. The con-
vention sang America" and after the
reading of yesterdays session the proposed
amendments we're taken up. The first Of
these proposed adding to the rep
resentation from each state. now consisting
of one regent, four additional repre-
sentatives to be elected at a meeting to be
called by the state regent and to be COM
posed Of the chapter regent. vice regent
and one delegate from each chapter in the
state. the conference to be at some desig-
mated place before February 1 of each year.
Miss Janet Richard Of this city, who
framed the proposed amendment, submitted
an amendment to her amendment. which
brought on a lively discussion. The new
amendment changed Miss Richards former
amendment so as to add to a regent for
each state, one representative at-large and
one for every $50 members in the state.
The debate on this amendment occupied
two hours. when Miss Richards announced
that she recognized that those who stood
with her for the amendments were in q
minority. and she would accept defeat
gracefully. The chair was about to declare
a recess when Mrs. Donald Mclean Of New
York made a vigorous attack upon the par
liamentary procedure Of the president gen
eral.
Mrs. Fairbanks insisted upon the recess
against a number OF protests. The Richards
amendments we're overwhelmingly defeated
at the afternoon session. An amendment
offered by Mrs. Hamilton Ward OF New
York giving each chapter Of 100 member
or less a representation in the cOntinenta
congress OF one delegate or alternate ana
all chapters of over 100 members two dele
gates, was taken up next. Mrs. Rober

VALUE OF WARM BREAKFAST
BEVERAGE.
Explanation by Physician.

The high grade physician always stands
ready to guide ones habits and prevent
disease, even II by that means, he loses
many a fee.
Food and drink are important factors
relating to health.
DR.. VIM. r. B~lackwood, $50 N. 23d ST.,
Philadelphia, Pa, writes on the subject
and remarks about the need of some warm
drink for breakfast, but deprecates the use
OF coffee because OF its effect on the health.
He refers to the fact that the heat Of a
warm breakfast beverage Is important in
causing the necessary alvine evacuation
which should invariably follow breakfast.
