The sultan of Turkey has not yet recov-
cred from the fright into which he was
thrown by the news of the assassination of
the shah OF Persia. The arrests which be-
gan almost Immediately upon the receipt of
the intelligence have continued during the
past two weeks, until now more than 800
Armenians have been taken into custody.
OF this number, fifty-two have been exiled
to Anatolia. Notwithstanding the fact that
80 many Armenians have been arrested, the
agitation against the sultan is rather among
the young Turks than the Armenians. A
number of young Turks have also been ar
rested and sixteen of them have been sent
wilh the exiled Armenians to Anatolia.
Seventy-three Turkish students at the
military college at Kullah have been ar
rested.

There IS more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was supposed to be in
durable. For great many years doctors pro.
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable.
Science has proven catarrh to be constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufacture d
by F. ]. Cheney & Co., Toledo Ohio, is the only
constitutional cure on the market. 1t is taken
internally in doses from 10 drops to teaspoon
full It acts directly on the blood and mucous
