No form of lens that has ever been devised equals the "Toric' for the hunters use.
 The deep inside curve permits the lenses to be brought very close to the gunner's ere. This admits of an eX- tensive range of view, without his be- ing compelled to turn his head very far, tn fact scarcely at all.
 The hunting season is now on, and those who have tried to get along with the usual small sized glasses, will find it advantageous to call upon us and learn of The Toric"

Hunters Beware

Don't go a hunting without buying your ammunition at Davidson's Cash Store. We don't buy shells in fifty thousand lots nor in carload lots. Be cause the man that does in Phoenix will surely sell some shells that have been in stock for sometime. But We sell the best loads in U. NJ. C., Win chester and Selby smokeless at 65c per box and the goods are fresh from the factory. The average hunter doesn't care so much about his merchant buy ing carloads of shells as he does about getting the best loads, fresh, and at the lowest possible price.

Condition Of Sufferers Said to Be Worse Than

ship Dakota brings advice from Nagasa-
XII that the famine situation in the north
ern provinces of Japan is steadily grow
ing graver.
A second appeal has been issued by
w. E. Lampe, chairman of the foreign
committee of relief, in which he says:
when we issued Our first appeal to
the foreign communities in Japan in De-
cember we estimated that 100000 per-
sons out of population of 2,82I, 900
were on the verge of starvation Since
then members of our committee have
personally visited 2o counties and as
many towns in the Provinces of Myagi

5000 yen. Our first figures estimating
those affected by the famine are too
weak to describe the actual famine
"Able-bodied men, ragged and hungry,
are facing the snow and icy winds to
bring wood from the mountains in the
hope of earning enough through its sale
to keep the starving families. Women are
covering their babies with their own cloth

Meridian, Miss, (Special) Nineteen
persons are known to have been killed as
result of the tornado which swept
over section of this city shortly after
P. M. Twenty-four persons were in
jured, and property with an estimated
value of 100000 was demolished or
otherwise damaged.
Many sensational reports were sent
out from here of an appalling loss OF life,
due probably to the chaotic condition of
affairs Immediately following the vista
ton of the storm.
A mass-meeting of citizens of Meri-
dian was called and $1,000 was imnle-
diately subscribed to aid the destitute
and injured. The Mississippi Legisla-
ture, in session at Jackson, appropriated
$1,000 for the relief fund. Governor
Vardaman at noon secured a special train
and dispatched it at once with convicts
to Meridian. The city now enjoys the
unique spectacle of convicts aiding in
the rescue work.
Hunter George, president of the Board
of Trade, was made chairman OF the
general relief committee, and J. w.
Donovan was elected secretary.
The tornado which played such hovoc
appeared in the southwest at 6.27 P. M.
A low, funnel-shaped cloud was seemed
to form near the city. A heavy down
pour of rain had been falling when sud
denly the humidity became intense. With
a roar that could be heard great dis
lance the storm approached from the
southwest and descended upon the city.
The greatest loss of life is reported from
the east end, in what is known as the
cotton mill settlement" The cotton
mill there was partially wrecked and
probably 400 small buses were demol-
ished or badly damaged
The tornado swept Front Street and
wrought great damage there. Many
houses were demolished and others were
partly damaged. The electric-light plant
was partly wrecked, and to add to the
terror of the situation the city was
thrown into total darkness. Lanterns,
candles and even coal-oil lamps were
used by the people in seeking places of
safety. The tornado also did severe
damage on Twenty-second Avenue, be-

MAY YET FORCE
FRANCE TO WAR
Germany's Attitude is Causing Much
Anxiety.
THE UNITED STATES IS CAUTIOUS.
Conferences Between Secretary Root and
French and German Ambassadors WASH
ington Government Not Interfering Other
Neutral Powers May Try to Bring France
and Germany Together.

Washington, D. c., (SpeciaD THE
news received here from Algeciras is
by no means encouraging of speedy
and harmonious result 1t is complained
that the German representatives are not
acting in absolute good faith and that
the propositions which they bring for
ward from time to time are merely for
effect, as it is known to the Germans
themselves that they must prove obnox-
ious to the French delegates to the con-
ference.
The French delegates display, accord
ing to the advices received here, an al
most equally unyielding spirit, and it
would not be surprising to Washington
if the conference adjourned before long,
leaving the vexed Moroccan question in
such delicate position that hostilities
between the continental powers might re
suit.
The German Ambassador, Baron
Sternburg, and the French Ambassador,
M. Jusserand, called on Secretary Root
at short intervals, but no information
was given as to any news they might
have received from Algeciras.
It is intimated here that the failure of
the conference in expected by Germany,
and indeed, not unsought, and that the
German government is perfectly willing
to make the Moroccan question the pre-
text for another war with France, be-
lieving that the conflict is inevitable
and irrepressible, and that the German
Army and conditions generally in the
empire are now better adapted for the
final struggle they ever will be again
While other neutral powers will no
doubt continue efforts to bring Germany
and France together, the United States
government will maintain its policy of
noninterference in SO delicate contro-
versy.

Fire at Wesleyan.

Middletown, Ct, (SpeciaD.-Wesley-
an University sustained a severe loss by
fire when old North College, containing
$50 rooms, was practically destroyed.
The fire, which started in the attic,
burned so rapidly that little was saved.
The loss rs placed at $4,000, covered
by insurance.
The burned building was erected in
1897 and formed the nucleus of the pres
ent college group, and was of great his
toric interest at Wesleyan. About all
that was saved from the fire were the
valuable college records of President
Raymond and Professor Nicholson, the
secretary of the faculty All of the $50
students in the building made their es-
cape, and many left the dormitory in
their night clothes.

tween Front and Railroad Streets. Sew
eral houses on this avenue were partly
wrecked. The storm lasted for only a
brief period, many persons claiming that
the entire destruction was wrought III
the brief space of FIVE minutes.
Among the buildings destroyed or
practically ruined were those Of the
Thomas Lyle Grocery Company, Elmira's
restaurant, Meyer Neville Hardware
Company, Grand Avenue Hotel, Thorn

Company, Gulf Compress Company and
innumerable smaller buildings used by
worlcmen and negroes.
1t is generally understood that there
was but little, if any, tornado insurance
carried and the loss will, therefore, fall
heavily upon the owners of the damaged
property.
The residence portion of the city was
safe from harm.
Meridian has always considered itself
tornadoproof. Mount Barton and the
Sand Mountain Hills were accepted as a
sentinel against such disasters. The
Sowashee Valley was crossed by the
storm, and this was most unexpected

The only damage done to the immense
shops of the New Orleans and North

in the path of the storm, was the unroof-
ing of the roundhouse; the roof was
hurled about 100 feet The freight de-
pot was destroyed The records, papers
and everything contained in the building
were lost, the first floor being blown
away from under the second. The upper
floor was crowded with clerks, but for
tunately no one was on the first floor.
None of the clerks was more than slight
ly hurt, and no lives were lost

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Plans For Iayaslou.

The General Staff of the Army has
completed IFS plan for the invasion OF
China by an army of the United States,
should the necessity for such an action
arise President Roosevelt called upon
the War Department for a copy of its
plan for military operations in China,
which, it is understood, he has carefully
read and approved
One of the most important functions
of the General Staff is to prepare plans
for possible campaigns against for
eign enemy At the time when the boy
colt against American goods was insti-
tuted in the southern provinces of China
the General Staff Immediately began pre-
pairing for trouble in the Chinese EN-
pire, and the plan for military operations
just submitted to the President is the
result OF its work in that direction.
OF course the scheme outlined will be
kept confidential by the authorities OF
the War Department. But sufficient has
leaked out to indicate that it contem-
plates the throwing of an army of about
10000 men into Southern China as soon
as it becomes evident that the Chinese
Government is unable or unwilling to
protect American interests and lives in
its Empire. About 5000 of these troops
would be taken from the Philippines and
the remaining 5000 from the United
States. The question of transportation,
subsistence and equipment has been
worked out in detail and the final orders
looking to preparations for an expedition
to China have been formulated.
Everything, of course, with regard to
an invasion of China by an army of the
United States hinges upon the word III"
Reports received by the State Depart
ment indicate that general uprising in
China may be expected and that the
lives and interests of American citizens,
as we'll as those of other foreign resi-
dents of China, are in jeopardy. 1t is to
prepare for such a contingency that
the plan has been worked out.
A cable report received by the Navy
Department states that the United States
gunboats FL Cano and Quiros have ar
rived at KiuKiang, up the Yangtze River,
near Nanchan, where the French and
British missionaries were recently massa-
cred by an abortive uprising 1t is I'M
derstood that the IA American mission
aries and their families who escaped
from Nanchen have arrived at KiuKiang,
and that they will there go aboard the
FL Cano and Quiros and be transported
to place of safety in Shanghai.
