\ VIEWS OF THE REMON8TRATOR8 IN REGARD TO IT. DO NOT AGREE WITH THE NEWS Mild Criticism of Report of the Meet Ing Held Monday Evening Reasons for Objections are Explained by the Remonstrators. Norfolk , Mnrch 21. To the Citizens of Norfolk : Yesterday thcro appeared In The Dally News nn article relative to the proposed plniiB for a now ( sta tion to replace the old one recently destroyed by lire. Wo liavo no criti cism to make upon the matter , as pre sented by the writer of that article. Mr. W. N. Huso , who was present at the meeting held Monday evening , owns The News and Is responsible for auch matter as ho may see fit to pub lish. lish.A largo number of the citizens do not agree with the Ideas presented , and slnco wo have been aakod to per sonally give our vlows , In writing , to The News for publication , wo ask you to carefully consider the following facts as wo understand them. Wo wish to say first that wo have , so far ns wo know , never before , In any manner , attempted to Interfere with or discourage any proposition tending to the bettering of conditions In Norfolk. On the contrary , wo have gone as deep In our pockets as our ability would permit , to advance the material Interests of the city. If any solicitor of funds for legitimate pur poses knows anything to the contrary , let him make It known. Wo know there arc a largo number of people who do not fully understand the proposition as presented to the city council for their consideration re garding the matter of closing one of the principal streets of our city , per manently , to teams and pedestrians , a largo number of property owners and tax payers have seen fit to ques tion , strenuously , the advisability of ouch a step. Eighty-four citizens first signed a remonstrance against the proposition of closing the street and as many more have slnco offered to elgn , so that the number of signers Is not so insignificant after all as the article of Tuesday evening would lead us to believe. Many of the petition ers for the closing of the street claim to have had the whole matter misrep resented to them , being led to believe that the street was not to ho closed , but that they were simply making choice between a $2,000 or a $15,000 depot. Mr. C. C. Hughes plainly stated at the mooting Monday night that the street would bo permanently closed , if the depot was built as planned. Ho gave as his reasons , that It was to re duce their liability for personal dam ages , and to keep them from employ ing a flagman at the crossing , or main taining other appliances commonly used to protect human life and proper ty at railway crossings. Too many people use Phillip avenue , hence the traffic must bo diverted , no matter how much Inconvenience the public are called upon to endure. People have built their homes , their High school building , their ward school and four of their churches on Phillip av enue , believing that this street was laid out and maintained for the pur pose of walking and driving upon It. Now they find they are mistaken. Some of our citizens decide that It shall not be thus , and without consult ing the people Interested , ( and every body should be ) offered to have the nvonuo fenced ten feet high , If neces sary , to keep the public out Too prominent a thoroughfare. Too much trouble to open a train to allow pe destrians to pass. Wo ask the citizens of this beauti ful little city of homes , can you afford to close one of the most Important streets , for the paltry , supposed ben efit to bo derived by the building of a $15,000 depot ? This sum is said to include all Improvements of tracks and grounds. It occurs to us that with a piece of ground 368x240 feet south of Phillip avenue and 300 feet long north , there should bo room to erect a building 24x140 feet or sufficient In size for the railway company to han dle the business of this city. With Phillip avenue closed , Park and Mad ison covered by switches and constant- hall the people cross the C. & N. W. hall the people cross the C. & & N. W. railroad with any degree of safety ? Do the people want such an arrange- xn nt ? Wo boliova not W. IU Hoffman , H. E. Zltkowskl , M. Endres , H. A. Pasowalk , P. F. Bell , F. L. Estabrook. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy , a Fa vorite. "Wo prefer Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to any other for our chil dren , " says Mr. L , J. Woodbury of Twining , Mich. "It has also done the work for us in hard colds and croup , and wo take pleasure In recommend ing It. " For sale by Leonard the drug gist TO BUY CIRCUS HORSES. M. Mlhllls Left for Oklahoma to Select Performing Animals. M. Mlhills left Norfolk at noon to day for Oklahoma , where he will re main for several weeks , buying horses and ponies for the Cumings Wild West Exposition and Trained Animal shows. Tills circus will bo remade from the old Walter Main circuses , the owner nf which Is a cousin of Mr. Mlhllls and with whom , for several seasons , Mr. MlhlllH traveled as ticket seller at the main entrance.

The show has also se cured a large number of wild animals which will bo trained for the circus. The show people have been urging Mr. Mlhllls to accompany them again this year on their trip , but ho has not as yet decided whether or not ho will accept the offer. FIVE CENTS IS CHOPPED OFF THE SCHEDULE TODAY. MARCH HAS FILLED ICE HOUSES A General Cut of a Nickel Was Made This Morning by Ice Men of Nor folk , Setting the Rates Back to Their Last Summer's Standard. Ice prices have dropped again In Norfolk , and the people of this city will sameold prices. The rates were reduced have frozen water next summer at the this morning by all Ice men of the city , who had formerly Increased them 5 cents per 100 pounds on all classes of Ice. The reason for reducing the rates on Ice Is the fact that March has de veloped a good sized bunch of cold weather and that , as a result of the freezing , Norfolk Ice houses have boon filled to the rafters , until thcro Is a supply on hand which will overcome all fears of u famine In tills commod ity. ity.In In fact , there are more Ice houses doing business this year than over be fore In Norfolk's history , and they are all well filled. When the warm weath er of the winter frightened people Into thinking that there would bo a short age before the month of July had gene by , several parties who had never put up Ice before , got busy with hammer and saw , built ice houses and then went to work with their ice plows and dug out good sized chunks of the froz en river's stoclc in trade. Irvin & Melchor and E. D. Knuff- in ami took time by the forelock In this regard and built an ice house in a re markably short time , filling It within two days. Waldo & Dillenbeck strung electric wires Into their pond and their Ice house and , with thirty men , worked day and night , with brilliant arc lamps to shed a white light over the field. George Stalcop resumed op erations after having once shut down , and put up a lot more ice than he had thought ho would. Fred Schelly has Ice to burn and Mr. Oertwig , who has built a new house this season , has it well filled with sawdust-packed cold ness. And so there will be a chance In Norfolk next summer , despite gloomy forebodings , to oat ice cream and drink ice water and sip cooling sherbet. There will bo chipped ice and shaved ice and Ice that isn't shaved. There will bo Trapped Ice and Iced tea , and refrigerators will , after all , earn tholr salaries. For on all classes of this product a nickel has been chopped off , per hundred weight , today. DROPS DEAD GOING TO FUNERAL Lincoln Woman , on Her Way to Attend Services , .Falls Dead.

DEPOT MAYBE NOT IN STREET. General Superintendent C. C. Hughes Says He Is Not Sure. "I can not say whether or not wo proposed now station would bo built In the street or not , if the city passed the ordinance to close Philip avenuo. I do not know where the depot would be located , exactly. It might touch the street and It might not touch the street. " This was the reply of General Super- intendant C. C. Hughes of the North western railroad today when asked def initely as to whether it was true that there was a possibility of the depot being built away from the street , oven If the street were closed by the city. There had been a general under standing among the business men of Norfolk that the depot , If the street were closed , would bo built In the street and that the reason why the closing of the street was asked was for lack of room without using the street "Unless the street is closed , " said Mr. Hughes , "wo will go ahead and build a depot. Wo can't wait for the courts to decide upon the injunction. Wo will not build the depot planned , unless the city closes Philip avenue. " See F. G. Coryell for insurance. NORFOLK NEWS : FRIDAY , MAIUJI1 ! 10 IMfi. A TEAR CAME TO AUGUST MUEL LER'S EYE AT SUGGESTION. IS TAKEN THROUGH NORFOLK Man Whose Revolver Delched Bullets at His Wife , Fathcr-ln-law and Moth , cr-ln-law Tells The News He Is Sorry ry He Fired at Them. ( From Fildny'R Dnllv.l When the noon train over the M. & O. railroad drew Into Norfolk at II o'clock this morning , thcie sat In < mo of the scats of the lust passenger coach a dark skinned man , hidden down un der a heavy fur overcoat. Over bin eyes was drawn u shabby black cap which left protruding around his ears a fringe of black , thick , curly hair. A black moustache covered his mouth , which was closely and firmly sot. Ills hands rested close together down In his lap and a pair of glittering steel bracelets wound around them both In an uncanny sort of way. The two hands wore big and rough and rod. and the linger nails were all torn and worn out of shape , lleneath the heavy fur coat the man's logs were covered with thin , blue and white striped over alls. alls.This This passenger was no other than August II. Mueller , who left tragedy in the path of his bullet-spitting 38- calibre revolver at the homo of his father-in-law , Frederick Hohneko , In Stanton county , and whoso trigger lin ger pumped a lead ball Into the breast of his child-wife , three bullets Into his father-in-law and another one Into the hands of his mother-in-law , which shut tered her fingers. The prisoner was being taken from I'endor , where ho was captured , to Stanton. where ho goes to await trial for the crime which ho committed. Accompanying him was Sheriff Sleek er of Stanton county , who used the telephone wires to excellent advant age and pursued the wretch Into with in a little distance of Pendor , where lie was captured. Mueller had a couple of hours to wait at Norfolk Junction and ho was Interviewed by The News. Not Talkative at First. The sheriff introduced the News rep resentative to his prospective candi date for a lope's noose , and the pris oner Ignored the introduction. "How do you do , Mr. Mueller , " was forced upon him , and ho was almost forced to stretch out one of his hand cuffed palms. Then Mueller lapsed buck Into a comatose condition , pre pared to maintain silence. Hut an In stant later his eyes wore lifted up dull , blue o > es to glance at the news paper headline which was thrust be fore his face. Ho was still human , de spite his long chase across the coun try after his triple shooting , and ho wanted to see what the newspapers had to say about him. He read the top head , "Brute Is Cap tured , " with some Interest and started to follow down the column to get the meat of the story. "That paper says you went over to the house and opened lire ; is that right , Mr. Mueller ? " was asked. "No. " ho mumbled. "Didn't you shoot first ? " "No , " he grunted again. "How did It start then ? " And then the man charged with crime opened up with words. After that It came easily. Wanted to Make Up. "I Just went over to the farm to make up , " ho whined. "I mot the old man In the barn and told him , 'lot's go in the house and make up. ' And so wo went in and then ho grabbed his shotgun and shot me. I ran and he shot me. I know ho only had a single barreled gun and couldn't shoot again and so I was mad and turned around and wont back Into the house after him. And then ho tried to get another shell and I shot him three times as he went up the stairway. " "Did you Intend to shoot your wife ? " "No. I didn't mean to. They say I shot her , but I didn't mean to do it" Ho said that ho had never treated Ills wife mean and that she left him because her mother , who didn't like him , wanted to take her away. But Sheriff Sleeker said that his wife had been afraid of the man and that ho , himself , had gone out to the farm some time ago to help protect the girl- wife In making her escape from this man. Mueller says that his wife is now almost seventeen years of age in stead of almost sixteen. "Did you mean to shoot your moth er-in-law ? " "No. That was accidental. I Just meant to shoot the old man. And then ho came after mo again and I ran. Ho shot after mo and then I got away. " "Well , did you think you could es cape altogether by riding out of the country ? " "Yes , I thought I could got away. " "And did you offer fight when they came to arrest you ? " "No , I saw them coming , with guns in their hands. Thcro wore three teams coming down the road and I didn't offer to fight. " Feels Sorry Now. "How do you feel about going back ? " "Oh , I feel sorry , awful sorry. I am awful sorry. " "If you had It to do over again , would you shoot ? " "No , I never would do that over again. " "Well , how would you like to go to the penitentiary ? " No answer. "You probably will have to go for a while , won't you ? " The prisoner shrugged his shoulders and said ho didn't know what would hnppen , The Thought of Hanging , And then came u question that even this man , who hud only a dt\y boforu drawn blood from his wlfo anil two olhor human beings , could not got up the courage lo answer. "You would ruthor go to the ponl- lontlury than to hung , wouldn't you ? " I to did not oven shrug his shoulders this time. Ho merely dropped his houd farther down and , In the corner of his eye , could ho scon welling up a spark ling , real , burning tear. That was his lust eloquent reply , stronger thun words , to I ho ( immtlon of whether , Incuse cuso his chlld-wlfo dies , and with her her child , ho would ho willing to pay the maximum ponulty which the law could enforce for his dcod. Sheriff Stocker hud In his grip two big revolvers , ono with whloh ho sought Mueller mid the other with which Mueller wounded his three vic tims. U. S. COMMERCE COMMISSION.

I would he only too glad to pay my share of the taxes on such a prop osition , and the city can never expect to go forward until it begins to make some expenditure for such Improve ments ns these. A city of Norfolk's slzo ought to have hud sewerage a long time ago , and I slnceroly hope the bonds will carry.
