PREPARING FOR WAR IN
CHINA.
Eight [Days Only Allowed the"
Court to Obey.
Pekin, Feb. 10.?The foreign
envoys have given the Chinese
authorities eight days in which
to issue satisfactory edicts.
The foreign ministers say this
cannot bo considered as an ultimatum,
as the notice only refer?
particularly to the cossn-:
tion of examinations and also
to the liability of the Governors
of the provinces where outrages
may be committed.
The military officials fail to
see the difference in a series of
ultimatums, or a single ulti
matuin covering the entire domands,
and ask if the Chincso
refuse to agreo to any points
during the number of days
given what the ministers intend
to do.
Meantime the military continue
preparations for the expedition,
the intention being to
send out six columns of troops,
two columns leaving Pokin,
Tien Tsin and Pao Ting Fu respectively.
Field Marshal
Count von Waldersoo believes
that oight days' rations will ho
ntnplo for * ) column j to lake
with tin in, as the linos of com^
munication will ho open and:
fresh supplies will ho obtain .[

It is reported on some nil-'
HE ^^hority that if tho negotiations
prove unsuccessful the warships
of somo of tho powers
will soizo Clio Foo, Canton and!
other places as soon as tho winter
is over.
All the troops aro being put
through a "severe courso of
drill, especially the Germans,
from daylight until dark.

Narrow Escape From Death.
Spartanburg, Fob.?20.?This
afternoon tho passenger train
from Columbia ran into Mills
Ross's Jfamily carriage at 'the
Pine street crossing, a mile
from town. There were nine
persons in the carriage. Mills
Ross was seriously hurt, bis
wifo had one arm and one leg
broken, a young woman was
severely hurt and a small child
perhaps fatally injured. The
party had boon to Glendalo to a
burial and were returning
home. The phaeton was smashed,
but the horse was unhurt..
All the people in the vehicle
were more or loss hurt.

"In the winter of 1898 and 1899 I was
taken down with a severe attack of
what is called La Grippe" says F. L.
llewett, a prominent druggist of Winfield,
III. "The only medicine I used
was two bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. It broke up the cold
and stopped the coughing like magic,
and 1 have never since b?'en troubled
with Orippe." Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy can always be depended upon
to break up a severe <-.o!d and ward otf
any threatened attack of pneumonia.
It is pleasant to take, too, which
makes it the most desirable and of the
luosi popular preparations in use for

Uftro*l)iTel Coasting.
It is difficult to imagine a more
dare devil and thrilling adventure
than that of two men sliding
down a steep ice crusted mountain,
one in a prospector's pan
an i the other on a minor's shovel.
Yrt such a hazardous undertaking
was accomplished the other
dav by Pete McGrff and "Yankee
Bill" Murphy, miners and prospectors
in the Sierra Madro
mountains, when they flow like
the wind down one side of the
treeless Quartsite mountain, a
distance of about two miles with
ajdescent of about thrity-five degree-,
and landed in twenty-five
feet of snowdrift in the forty foot
onasm of Uow crook, a few miles
west of Grand Encampment,
Wvo.
Pete and "Yankee Bill's" love
of adventure will brook perils of
any kind at any time for the pure
lo^e of sport. Peculiar "cusses"
those two rough minors, and it
wra in jesting wager simply that
they raced down this mountain,
Pete in tho pan and "Yankee
Bill" on the eliovel, both finishing
with a record breaker and
wl.at might havo been a neck
breaker.
They climbed to the top of tho
peak over two feet of snow on tho
day of tho adventure to wash out
a decomposed quartsite. In the
afternoon it turuod off cold and
frcze a crust on the snow, so that
tho surface of tho mountain resembled
glrfS. It was near sundown
when tho two nlon tinished
prospecting and started to retrace
th ir way down tho mountain.
The slipery iced snow impeded
thoir progress, making tho journey
slow and dangerous at best.
Loss than 100 feet Mown Potn
CI ?
jestingly propoaod to "Yankee
Bill" that they slide down on the
pan and shovel.
"I'll beat you down," said Bote,
suiting tlie notion to the word by
getting into the pan.
"You can't boat me," ropliod
"Yankee Bill," at the same time
squatting down on his shovel, unmindful
of the danger ahead.
At first both slnl along in a
jorky fashion, for they woro
obliged to purli themselves along
at, tunes. Suddenly, however,
the descent became moro abrupt,
j and the two toon launched into
jozuno and shot down with acceler
ting spo?-d like comets through
sp;iCO. The sensation they felt
ca 1 neither bo described or imagined.
They tore down the
nn untain side iiiio an avalanche,
each holding on to h.is metal sled
with a visolike grip. A milo was
covered in apparently an instunt,
wl 011 a ridge formation turned
'thorn off their course, and they
I tlew still faster at an aouto angle.
The forty foot chasm of Cow
creek was inevitable, and before
th >y had time to realize the danger
they had leaped over its edge,
j cleared Co.v creek and, as if hu
man drills, bored the snow drift
twenty-five feet.
When dim out l'e^e and "Yankee
Bill" did not exactly need
the coroner, but there were not
enough plasters and liniment in
ramp to soothe their bruises.
They came up smiling, however,
earh stoutly maintaining victory.
Tie shovel and pan will he ex
'homed next spring hv nature.?

* NEW PISTOL LAW.
* It t an Hardly Stand tin* Test ot
the Conrts.
> j One of the most radical pieces
. of legislation was t lie passage of
. the anti-pistol law, which, how*
ever, does not go into effect
j until July, 1902.
.! The law prohibits the sale or
t importation of any pistol which
> is not 20 inches long and which
[ weighs less than three pounds.
. The intention of the bill was
good, because no man will carry
i: such a weapon as that concealed
j or otherwise and if the law
| would stand the test of the
courts it would certainly accomplish
the purpose.
But it was pointed out by
; lawyers both in the senate and
the house that the law is absolutely
unconstitutional. But
l so great was the desire to do
something to put a stop to an
omitted evil that the members
brushed aside all considerations
i of the constitutionality of the
' Mill and made it law.
Tho act prevents the carrying
of any pistol, concealed or otherI
wise, except of the prescribed
engtli and weight. An exception
is made as to one's own
: premises, where any sort of
weapon may he carried concealed
or otherwise.
; There is already ample laws
in the statute books against carrying
concealed weapons, hut
tho chief difficulty is that the
law isn't enforced. When one
is convicted of violating it the
1 fine is merely nominal and in
' the case of negroes, even the
> line is usually paid. But tho
case p oposed remedy as provi'!
ded for in tho new law will not
accomplish the desired purpose
' any more than the present one,
for it is practically certain that
[the law will be brought to the
I courts, and tho opinion of good
1 lawyers is that it cannot stand.
It is likely that a test caso
Will he made even before the
I law goes into effect.?Columbia
