FIFTY YEARS IN PRISON.

Tho Sentence Pronounced on a Kan
sas man Yesterday-The Crime of
which He was Convicsed-Several
sudden Deaths In the Family.
ATWOOD, Kan, April 4.-Judae Bsrtram
yesterday sentenced Gracian Ohleborad to
fifty years in the psnitentiary. Chleborad
ia about thirty years old. The crime of
which he was convicted was poisoning his
younger brother, Joseph, last December.
Strange to say although there was proof
positive of strychnine in the dead mans
stomach and every circumstance pointed to
Graciau as the murderer, the jury returned a
verdict of murder in the second degree,
scquittiug Gracian's wife. The
Judge, however, made amends for
the jury's action by pronouncing SEN
ment. If the evidence of Chleborad's neigh
bors is to be believed, the poisoning of Joseph
Chleborsd was the last of the series of muir
ders that If Investigated will prove as horri-
BILE as the infamous Bender crimes that were
exposed in Sabeth county, Kan, In 1878.
The Chleborads lived on claim that was
originally settled by DR.. Shaw, who myste-
riously disappeared. Evidence indic.-
ea THAT n be tss bod 1rdetfa THROWN for hs
an abandoned we'll on the "divide''
not great ways from the Shaw dug-out.
After the Chleborads, consisting of man
and his wife and three sons, of which. Gracian
was the eldest, took the claim. In the course
of time Mrs. Chleborad died myststiously and
her place of burial was never known. The
event occasioned comment, but the people
| seemed to be afraid of the Chleborads and 1t
was never investigated. It was generally
believed, however, that she was murdered
and her body thrown into the we'll. Later
the old man died suddenly and the neigh
bors suspected poisoning. This was fol-
lowed by fresh burial in the we'll.
This crime was charged to Gracian Chleborad
and his wife May. A few months later one
of the brothers disappeared and Gracian said
that he had gone to Nebraska, but the boy
never came back and it Ia supposed the we'll
received another victim.
Last December young Robert was poisoned
and the murderer was detected by party oil
neighbors, who met Gracian, with the body
of the boy on his shoulder, making straight
for the old we'll. An. effort has been mad'
to have the county commissioners dig out
the old we'll, now nearly filed up, wher
proof of all these horrors is likely to appear

CHEYENNE, wy, April 4.-The mail carrier
between Sun Dance and Buffalo reports
seeing band of Cheyenne Indians at the
head of Fortifcation creek in Crook county
running down and killing cattle. The band
was supposed to be from the Rose Bud
agency In Montana. The news created great
excitement in Buffalo and an urgent request
was made by stock owners to Colonel Henry,
commandant at Fort Mckinney, to send
troops to drive the marauders back to the
reservation. A detachment of cavalry and
scouts were dispatced. No loss of life is APP
pretended and it is thought the presence OF

Women are great sufferers from nervousness,

of girls droop and languish in the close, confined

Here lies the great strain upon the nervous sys-

women complain Of being weak nervous, tired and
exhausted.
They have little or no rest; their lie is one con-
tinual round Of work. What wonder that such
women go to bed at night fatigusd and wake tired
and unrefreshed In the morning What wonder
that they become worn out, to speak, in nerve
and vital power What wonder that they have
great weakness, exhaustion, pain in back and
limbs, together with the distressing female COM
plants which are always caused by loss Of vital
strength and vigor Yet they keep about their
work long after they realize that they ought to call
themselves sick and remain in bed, held up by the

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
Few Financial Disturbances During
tho First Quarter-A Heavy Foreign
Trade-Fa1lures for the Last quarter
and Week.
NEW YORK, April Ar. q. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: The first
quarter of the year has passed without the
financial disturbance which many saw reason
to fear with fewer failures than In the same
quarter of last year and smaller liabilities by
IL per cent, with larger railroad tonnage
than in the same quarter of any previous
year, and with larger payments than ever
through bankers clearing houses. outside
of New York. Foreign trade has been
| heavier than ever for the season, and do
| nestle consumption, while much smaller
| than usual in coal, woolens and heavy winter
| goods, has been at the maximum in nearly
| all other lines. The new quarter begins with
no apprehension of monetary difficulty with
the general level of prices recovering from
the depression of February and with signs of
| improvement. The failures of wooden
commission house here and a manufacturing
establishment in Pennsylvania came just
when there were signs of better demand by
| Philadelphia. On large sales concessions are
still made, but the manufacturers reason
that the pending tariff bill will probably pre-
vent sales of the new clip at lower than cur
rent rates, while it may give better market
for goods.
The number of failures during the first
quarter of 1890 was 8, 1913 against 1911 last
year, with decided decrease at the east, the
south and the Pacific states, but increase in
the middle and western states. The aggre-
gate of liabilities was $37 ,S52, 96S, against
$42, 972, 516 last year but in this particular
there was an increase at the south and in
middle states the latter nearly fifty per cent
with decrease in all other sections.

claims that the classi6cstions In the present

POLLY WITH A JAG ON.

A Hospital Parrot Looks Upon tho Cup
When 1t Is Well FILLED.
From the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There was an amusing little scene in the
Mercy hospital recently. As most visitors
to the hospital know, large green parrot,
Of evil inclinations and strident voice, Ia
confined in the drug room, near the en-
trance hall. The parrots cage Is fre-
qucntly opened to admit food and other
necessaries. One day the hospital hallb0y
who has charge of Polly didn't close the
portals Of her prison properly, and this
fact was speedily ascertained by the saga
cious bird. Nobody was around, 10 the
prisoner slipped her bolts and stepped out.
Now, small cup containing more alcohol
lay on the counter of the drug room, and
Polly steered her course toward that cup.
She was thirsty, and here WAS something
drinkable. Polly Misunderstanding, like
many another, only to take one drink and
then to depart. But, alas The drink led
to many others, and, sad to relate, Polly
soon became intoxicated.
Just then one of the house physicians en-
tered, and the depravsd bird swore at him
with frightful vehemence and bit him In
tho hand. Then, half flying, half leaping,
Polly descended to the hoOr and COM
menced to make for the entrance hall with
unsteady gait, swearing In manner that
made the waiting visitors stop their ears.
Just then one Of the sisters arrived on
the scene and found this frightful example
to all birds blaspheming In the centre OF
of the hail. while the visitors we're retreat
ing In all directions. Aid was promptly
summoned. Polly was locked up and re-
moved into room where she could sobel
up, and the entrance hall resumed Its nor.
NAL quietude.
