Bloomfield, March 23.--William
Dickson, who shot and seriously
wounded Mason Murphy on the after
noon OF Friday, March Is, was re-
leased from custody on the
evening of Friday. March 20, the grand
jury not having returned any indict
ment against him, although three
days were spent in investigating the
shooting affair Dickson, in compa-
ny with his wife, returned to his home
four miles east of here, late Friday
evening feeling much elated at finding
himself at liberty, 1t will be remem-
bered that Dickson alleged as the
cause of the shooting that Murphy had
made criminal assault upon his wife
while ne (Dickeson) was absent from
home. Dickson was arrested at his
home after the shooting and placed in
Jail here to await the action of the
grand jury, which found that Dlcke-
sons action was justifiable. Murphy,
it is said, is slowly improving and it
is thought now that he will recover
from the effects of his wounds.

that, some of their spokesman have
bounties on wheat growing, however,
might have the same effect as protec-
tive tariff, as regards increasing the
domestic supply and diminishing the
import of wheat, and this is plan
that has been suggested and that finds

to be more general feeling in favor

The governors of at least two influ-
entail northwestern states may be
properly considered as candidates for
the vice-presidential nomination by
the next republican national conven-
ton. They are the Hon. Samuel R.
Van SAINT OF Minnesota and the Hon.
Robert NJ. LaFollette of Wisconsin,
both strong supporters OF the admin
istration. loyal friends OF Mr.. Roose-
welt and advocates of his nomination
for the presidency.
Each has qualities which should

mate for the Hon. Theodore Roose-
welt, should he be chosen as the stan
dard bearer of his party in the next ma
tional contest Each was selected for
a second term as governor of his state
last fall, and both hold views in har-
t mony with those of the President upon
majority of the leading questions Of
the day, and questions which will I'M
doubtedly be discussed in the coming
contest
Governor VanSants attitude in re-
| gard to the northern merger case and
| his fight against that railroad monop-
oily would make him strong candidate
to place upon the ticket with Mr..
! Roosevelt in view of the latter's ex,

campaign they would be III harmony
i Governor LaFollette occupies much

and upon reform questions holds opin.

those entertained by the President.
Thus it appears that the three gov
ernols OF the adjoining western states
are seriously considered in the vice
/ presidential running for 1904. Govern
or Cummins' boom has no aspirations
1 in this direction, preferring to stand
again as governor of the great Hawk

Why Catarrh
Needs
Attention

In addition to the many unpleasant
symptoms. as bad breath, stoppage of
nose. irritation of throat, ETC., produced
by catarrh, it has great tendency to
involve the structures of the Middle
Ear and produce Catarrhal Deafness;
also, a catarrhal state of the nasal and
respiratory passages threatens health
and invites diseases of more serious
character. For these reasons the mem
branes of the nasal and respiratory
tract should be placed in healthy con-
dition.
