NO POISON FOUND l\ RFVOIVIR Pli jHicinnft Who Examine C/.ti|gon* 8«y He in No! Insaiio—The 1«* Not to He Defended Alone llte Elite of an (jDftound Mind. BUFFALO. Sept. 23.—The most im- j portant development in the Czolgosz case yesterday was the announcement that no poison had been found on the bullets or on the revolver with which the anarchist assassinated the presi dent. Chemical and bacteriological examinations were made and both showed that no poison was used. An other examination to determine the mental condition of the prisoner was made In the Erie county jail by Dr. Carlos F. McDonald of New York, who was brought here by the Erie County Bar association, and Dr. W. F. Hurd, superintendent, of the Buffalo State hospital. The alienists were with the assassin for one hour and a half and when they left both declined to dis cuss t he case. District Attorney Penney and his entire staff spent all of Sunday at the city hall preparing for the trial of Czolgosz, which will begin before Jus tice White in part III of the supreme court this morning. Mr. Penney had conferences with the alienistH and with City Chemist Herbert M. Hill, who submitted his re port upon an examination of the hill lets and revolver. Immediately after the death of the president one of the staff of physi cians In attendance on the president j expressed the opinion that the bullets may have been poisoned. District At torney Penney, who had possession of the assassin’s revolver, ordered care ful and thorough examinations made. Dr. Hill was directed to make a chem ical examination of the bullets anil the chambers and barrel of the revol ver, and Dr. Herman G. Matzlnger, one of the surgeons who performed tlie autopsy upon the president's body, was ordered to make a bacteriological examination. This afternoon Dr. Hill reported to the district attorney that his work showed that no poison had been used. He also presented a written report, but it. will not he used on the trial, as that question is now eliminated from (he case. Dr. Mutzinger has finished his bacteriological examination and his work also revealed the absence of any poison. The district attorney lias been informed to that effect, although tue formal report has not been sub mitted. Authorities on this question state that the two examinations form a complete test and that the sligliest trace of poison would have been re vealed Dr. McDonald and Dr. Heard, alien ists for the defense, called upon Dis trict Attorney Penney shortly before 3 o'clock this afternoon and remained with him until 3:15, when they were escorted to the jail by Detective Solo mon. The insanity experts went into Czolgosz's cell, in murderer's row, and were locked up with him until 4:05 o'clock, when they returned to the city hall and held another conference with the district attorney. Fifteen minutes later Dr. James W. Putnam, a local alienist, appeared and Joined the conference. Although great se crecy was maintained at the district attorney's office, it was learned that Dr. Allen McLune Hamilton, one of the most able alienists in the United States, and who was an expert wit ness in the Guiteau case, was in Buf falo. Not a doubt of Czolgosz's sanity ex ists in the mind of District Attorney Penney, so that it is presumed that Dr. Hamilton is here merely to meet the question of Insanity should the defense be determined to make a fight on that ground. Although ine defense declines to make any definite state ment on the subject pending the final opinion of Dr. McDonald, it is tfie consensus of opinion among those in terested in the case that no insanity plea will he interposed by Judges Lewis and Titus. The district attor ney is already fortified wit lithe opin ion of Dr. Joseph Fowler, Dr. James \V. Putnam and Dr. Floyd Orego, Buf falo alienists of some note, that Czol gosz is perfectly sane.

We run wild over the furnishings of a house; its furniture, carpets, hang ings, pictures and musie, and always forget or neglect the most important requisite. Something there should be always on the shelf to provide against sudden casualties or attacks of pain. Such come like a thief in the night; a sprain, strain, sudden backache, tooth ache or neuralgic attack. There is nothing easier to get than a bottle of St. Jacob’s Oil, and nothing surer to cure quickly any form of pain. The house is incomplete without it. Com plete it with a good supply.
