Buffalo, Sept. 25.-The trial Of Leon
r. Czolgosz for the murder of Prsst-
dent Mckinley was resumed promptly
at GAS o'clock yesterday morning. Dr.
Mann was called up for cross examine
ton. He stated that the condition Of
the President at the autopsy was very
unusual and not to be expected frosa
the nature of the wounds.

timistic bulletins that were issued from
time to time by the physicians were
without any knowledge or suspicion OF
these symptoms that were afterwards
discovered?" said Mr.. Lewis.
"Fhe bulletins on the conditions
were optimistic in that they gave NO
idea of what was to come" was the
reply. "They expressed no opinion.
They merely stated facts, but the opin-
ions which were held by the staA
seemed to be fully warranted by the
condition of the President. We had No
reason to suspect the existence of any
such state Of affairs as was found.

to the theory that the prisoner did the
deed without the aid Of accomplices.
For an hour and a half the family

questions at police headquarters last
night. They stated that they knew
nothing about the dastardly plot; that
they came from Cleveland to vindicate

aid the authorities by securing from
the prisoner some statement as to his

cally all of this time was occupied by
the prosecution in presenting a case
so clear, so conclusive, that even had
the prisoner entered a plea of insanity
1t is doubtful if the jury would have

It Is announced from Berlin that on the
invitation of Prince Loewenstein 40 rep
resentatives of the German nobility, for
the most part the heads Of old Roman
Catholic families, have signed a deefaFa'
ton against dueling. The declaration sets
forth that the usage, although it receives
a passive encouragement, purely as a
means of maintaining the military spirit,
from the heads Of the army, is clearly
contrary to intelligence, religion, culture
and law and to social and state order.
The signatories bind themselves to work
for its abolition, stating that it is false
and unjust to qualify a man as coward
who refuses to fight, and they regard any
man as worthy of all respect who by con-
scientious scruples ignores a challenge.

a FEW FACTS
About the New catarrh Cure.

The new catarrh cure Is new depar-
ture in so-called catarrh cures because
Ii actually cures. and is not simply a
temporary relief.
The new catarrh cure is not salve,
ointment, powder nor liquid, but a
pleasant tasting tablet containing the
best specifics for catarrh In a concen-
trated, convenient form.
The old style of catarrh salves and
ointments are greasy, dirty and incon-
venient at the best; the new preparation
being in tablet form is always clean and
convenient.
The new catarrh cure is superior to
catarrh powders because 1t Is a notori-
GUS fact that many catarrh powders
contain cocaine.
The new catarrh cure is called
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets, a wholesome
combination OF blood root, beechwood
tar, guaiacol and other anticipates. and
cures by its action upon the blood and
mucous membrane. the only rational
treatment for catarrhal trouble.
You do not have to draw upon your
imagination to discover whether you are
getting benefit from Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets; Improvements and relief are
apparent from the first tablet taken.
All druggists sell and recommend
them. They cost but so cents for full
sized packages, and any catarrh suffer
er who has wasted time and money on
sprays. calves and powders will appreci-
ate to the full the merit of Stuart's Ca
tarrh Tablets.
