Members of Erie County Court Prepai for Murder Case at Buffalo , NO POISON FOUND lREVOLVEI , Physicians Who Examine Czolgosz 8a " He is Not Insane The Assassin Is No to Mo Defended Along the Line of a ; Unsound Mind. BUFFALO , Sept. 23. The most im portant development in the Czolgos case yesterday was the announcemen that no poison had been found on thi bullets or on the revolver with whicl tho anarchist assassinated the presi dent. Chemical and bacteriologica examinations were made and botl showed that no poison was used. An other examination to determine th ( mental condition of the prisoner was made in the Erie county jail by Dr Carlos F. McDonald of New York , whc was brought here by the Erie Count } 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 todis cuss the 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 alienists and with City Chemist Herbert M. Hill , who submitted his re port upon an examination of the bul lets and revolver. Immediately after the deathof the president one of the staff of physi cians in attendance on the president 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 and the chambers and barrel of the revol ver , and Dr. Herman G. Matzinger , one of the surgeons who performed the 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 be used on the trial , as that question is now eliminated from the case. Dr. Matzinger has finished tiis bacteriological examination and lis work also revealed the absence of my poison. ' The district attorney has jeen informed to that effect , although .ue formal report has not been sub nitted. Authorities on this question itate that the two examinations form i complete test and that the slighest race of poison w.ould have been re- realed. Dr. McDonald and Dr. Heard , alien- sts for the defense , called upon Dis- rict Attorney Penney shortly before : o'clock this afternoon and remained irith him until 3:15 , when.they were scorted to the jail by Detective Solo- aon. The insanity experts went into Jzolgosz's cell , in murderer's row , and fere locked up with him until 4:05 'clock , when they 'returned ' to the ity hall and held another conference nth the district attorney. Fifteen linutes later Dr. James W. Putnam , local alienist , appeared and joined tie conference. Although great se- recy was maintained at the district ttorney's office , it was learned that > r. Allen McLane Hamilton ; one of ie most able alienists in the United tates , and who was an expert wit- ess in the Guiteau case , was in Buf- ilo. ilo.Not Not a doubt of Czolgosz's sanity ex its in the mind of District Attorney enney , so that it is presumed that r. Hamilton is here merely to meet ie question of insanity should the efense be determined to make a fight a that ground. Although ine defense felines to make any definite state- ent on the subject pending the final pinion of Dr. McDonald , it is the msensus of opinion among those in- irested in the case that no insanity ea will be interposed by Judges swis and Titus. The district attor- jy is already fortified wit hthe opin- n of Dr. Joseph Fowler , Dr. James ' . Putnam and Dr. Floyd Grego , Buf- lo alienists of some n'ote , that Czol- > sz is perfectly sane. 1 H y GOPM to Visit. WASHINGTON , Sept. 23.

We run wild over the furnishings of a house ; its furniture , carpets , hang ings , pictures and music , and aljvays forget , or neglect the most important requisite. Something there should be alwaj-s 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.
