Some Further Details of the Outrages
Upon the Christians.

The following letter from Rev. Egbert
5. Ellis has been received in this city:
Harpoot, Turkey, Dec. S, 1s95-It is
said that our letters do not get beyond
Constantinople SO that I do not know
whether you Win receive this. All
eyes must now turn to this wretched land
with it's thousands slain and it's destitute
thousands. In Arabkir 5000 are reported
slain. In Dirbeksir 5, 200 were massacred
by Mullahs and Dervishes rallyinp forth
it is said from the mosque with the cry
that they had orders to kill Christians.
In Mulatia two refined Christian gentle
men In government work went to the
governor and asked for protection. He
asked him to care for their two sons an
his own. He said, send them to the bar
racks. Then he motioned to his soldiers
and they took the men out and dis
patched them on the premises Thirty
bullet holes were found in the body Of
one. That governor is now our actin Q
governor. Four or five thousand were
taken against our most f1ourishing and
Highly civilized outstation Hooiloo. Some
1900 Kurds and village Turks came upon
it, but the Inhabitants had been warned
and many had fled. The houses were
stripped bare and az they do not readily
burn being made OF brick the next day
was spent in firing them. Large quanti-
ties Of kerosene were brought BY Turk
ish official. There were at first some 800
Armenian houses and only 10 or 10 Turk
ish.
One can have no manner of doubt that
this whole thing was ordered from head
quarters at Constantinople as the Kurds
are said to have rep eatedly affirmed.
Tie Sultan as we'll as the prominent
Turks and officials Of Harpoot had prom
ised us protection but Of 1873 houses in th Q
Armenian quarters n were burned and
although the day before the Armenians
had surrendered their arms and thrown
themselves entirely upon the protection
of the government you see what took
place with about 100 killed at the time.
The sufferings of the villagers are terri
BILE to relate. In village of the plain
some 200 were killed. Two young women
were taken and married to Turk. Their
husbands were in America, but the rest
is too horrible to relate. Think of thous-
ands approaching starvation. We have
received no promises of relief yet.
The great work of the American Board
in Turkey seems to shoulder in ruins.
What will be done?

Sebago, January 4.-The trustees of
Potter academy were in session this week
to see what action would be taken in
regard to having two assistant teachers
for the winter term.
Mr.. Clark OF Cornish, has singing
school ut Mud City, this winter
A Democratic caucus was held at Se-
bago town hall Saturday afternoon for
the purpose of reconstructing their town
committee and to reopen their fractional
troubles of 1894. e. L. Poor and B. f.
Cole were dropped from the committee
and Walter S. Martin retained. AS now
constituted the committee will stand
VIM. G. Poor. Walter s. Martin of Seba-
Sebago. Edwin L. Poor proposes to car
ry the fight before the state committee
and expresses a desire that they will re.
cognize the "Wm. c. Poor faction'' as
constituted SO as to give him an oppor-
tunity of carrying the matter before the
| state convention. The call for the caucus
was signed by Walter s. Martin alone
and no notices of the same were posted
at the three post offices OF Sebago, East
Sebago and North Sebago, as 1t was once
| voted that all oaucuses should he called.
There were only about seven who attend
ed the caucus held Saturday E. L.
Poor and B. E. Cole will serve notice
| upon the state comittee of this county,
Llewellyn Barton. of their intentions
to call a caucus claiming that they and
not the third member alone have the au-
| thority to call cauous. AS the machine
element has heretofore recognized the
faction in this town representing the
minority Of their party it seems probable
that Mr.. Barton, representing the state
committee. will recognize the new orga
| niZation.
The prospect of Che Republicans elect
ing town officers again seems fair and
also that a Republican of this town may
be elected to the legislature In the pas
the terms of the Democratic town com
mittee have been three years, one to go .oa
each year. but they resolved that Ed
and Mr.. Cole must both go and therefore
we may look out for two parties, botf

Possibly.
Through ignorance? Certainly
Calling a spade spade is sometimes the
only way to convey an idea intelligibly
Let us do a little plain talking.
From the moment of conception, the little
vital spark is dependent on the blood and
tissues of the mother for nourishment and
growth
From the time it is born until it is weaned
the baby depends upon the mothers milk
for nourisment and growth.
There can be no question as to these facts.
If the mothers blood and tissues are clean
pure and free from poisons the child before
birth and after birth will be strong and
healthy.
Pure blood and rich blood are SYNONYMOUS
No persons blood can be pure unless the
kidneyssare working naturally and healthful-
ly.
The sole duty of the kidneys is to purify
the blood.
Healthy Kidneys,Pure Blood.
Pure Blood-Rich Pure Milk
Rich, Pure Milk-Strong Healthy Baby.
This is not hard argument to follow
Because it is the Truth.
Do you see its application? You mothers
with poor, frail, puny, half-nourished, and
| more than half-poisoned babies?
| Do you wonder that their tender brain
and blood cannot resist poisons and impure
ties that make even you sick, dizzy, torpid
| and weak?
You owe it to your child, your Maker, and
yourself to keep your kidneys active and
| your blood pure.
Asparagus is the natural medicine for the
| kidneys.
All its virtues to heal, to soothe, to
strengthen, to purify will be found in Dr.
Hobbs Sparagus Kidney Pills.
