THE RANEFuL CIGARETTE.
An Agency Boy Said to Have Been At
fected by Its Poison.

From fridays Daily.
Sheriff Suits was at Agency this
morning to take charge of a 12-year-
old boy named Charles D. Carver. The
boy is said to be incorrigible and his
folks say that he is an indulger in the
deadly cigarette to such an extent
that he is mentally and physically dis
abled.
The boy was given hearing before
Judge Sloan several months ago, and
that official ordered that he be sent
to the state reform school at Eldora,
and later he suspended Judgment. Re
Gently the relatives of the boy com
planned that his conduct did not jus
tify his being kept at home, and when
an attempt was made to have the pro
visions OF the sentence put into effect
the record of the case was found to be
missing, and the action had to be
recommended. A hearing was set fol
2 o'clock this afternoon, before Dis
trict Judge Eichelberger.
The boy is 9 bright eyed, hones
looking lad and his appearance does
not indicate that there is anything
wrong about him; but, it is said, thai
tho cigarette has "got in its deadl!
work" on his mind and conscience
and that he is in need Of a course o
instruction ad training, such as is pre-
vided by the statei of Iowa.

POWERS Exhibit Much Greed
In Their Claims Against
the Chinese.
AGGREGATE S6OO,0OO,OOO.
United States Not Inclined to Cypress
the Chinaman-Said to be Dissatis-
fled With Minister Conger's Course
-Favors Vigorous Punishment.

Washington, Nov. 23-Another crisis
is fast approaching in Chinese affairs,
and the American government is as
suming an attitude of great positive
ness in its condemnation of the action
of the powers. Sharp diplomatic notes
have recently been dispatched from
the state department to various Euro
pean governments concerning the atti-
tude of those nations which insist on
demanding of China so much more
than China can pay that no progress
whatever can be made toward a settle
ment.
| II reports from Peking may be trust
ed the combined demands of the vari-
GUS powers amount to about $600,000,-
900 indemnity. This is far more mon
ey than there is in all China. The
Chinese could not pay it if they would,
and they frankly say so. If these out
raseous demands should be persisted
in they will have to be presented by q
minority of the powers, for it is al
ready certain that at least one nation
will not join in pressing them.
The United States favors punish
ment of all guilty Chinese officials, but
lit does not favor Furnishing them be-
fore they are caught nor without due
trial. The United States favors in.
fiicting upon China a fine as great as
the country can bear.
|. having made this much known in
plain English, agents of the powers
continue to put forth rumors that tho
United States is following a vacillating
policy; that one day it talks Of with.
drawing from the concert and the next
concludes to stay in. There is no war
rant for these reports. The course of
the United States has been consistent
anG straightforward from first to last.
1t Germany and Great Britain did not
persist in making demands which they
know cannot be satisfied there would
! be no suspicion that their alliance is
merely cover for a game of grab.
, There is serious dissatisfaction here
. with the work of Minister Conger, and
If that official had not recently passed
thru most trying siege it is probable
, he would be recalled 1t is claimed
!. that Mr.. Conger is not carrying out the
wishes of the president, and that in
stead of being in sympathy with tbs
;. policy of the administration he ha:
: fallen under foreign influences and i.
: pressing as hard for big indemnitie.
, and plenty of blood as anyone in the

: II has been foreseen that Minister

anyone for issuing the restraining or

and therefore there was no way out
of the matter for him, but should the
case have come up to final hearing
the result would have been the same
victory for the clerks, because the
matter of Sunday closing is right and
