WHEN HE CRITICISED TUNNEL Nebraska's State Executive Recently Took Occasion to Say That Part of the Norfolk Insane Hospital Was Badly Built He Retracts. Governor Mickey , In a letter to .1. C. Stltt of Norfolk , states that ho Intend ed no Injustice to either Mr. Stilt aa aichltoct or to Kelluor & Woorth of Scrlbner , contractor , when ho took occasion In a newspaper Interview at Lincoln the other day , to criticise' the tunnel work at the Norfolk hospital for the Insane. Mr. Stltt and the con- tiactors did the work on the now west wing at the Institution , which the gov ernor admits Is a superior aitlclo of construction In ovoiy detail , and says that he icforred only to the old tun nel , hullt two years ago , as faulty. The correspondence which brought about this statement ftom the go vein- or , Is as follows : Mr. Stltt's Letter. Norfolk , Neb. , Dec. 11 , 1900. lion. John II. Mickey , Governor of Nebras ka My Dear Goveinor : I de-she to call jour attention to some recent statements In the press , giving your ciltlclsm of the now tunnel work at the Norfolk hospital for Insane , and am enclosing herewith clippings fiom the World-Herald and from the Omaha News , both of the Issue of December 7. I am prompted to address you In this matter , because of the Injury which these articles will produce upon these having no connection with the work In question , and the Injury will result fiom what was not said In the articles , rather than from what v as said. The parties at Interest In this mat ter , are Kollnor & Woeith , contractors , and myself as architect for the iccon- st ruction of the old west wing , just recently completed. Neither Kollner & Woerth , nor my self 1ml anything to do whatsoever with the tunnel work refencd to in your report , but the general public lacking this Information , will Infer that this tunnel work was of our construe tionAnd And as the west wing reconstruc tion was the last \\ork at the hospital this Infeienco Is but natural. Kellner & Woerth have alieady been made to suffer In consequence , having received from the surety bond company with which they deal , a per emptory letter , under date of Decem ber 8 , Inclosing the Omaha News clip ping and demanding an explanation. The bond company , of course , as sumed that the defective work men tioned in the clipping ; was a part of the Kellner & Woeith contract upon the west wing , and until this point could be cleared up to their satisfac tion , they would no doubt decline to supply futther bonds for these con tractors. Kellner & Woerth , realbing that their good name was in jeopardy have asked me to present the facts to you , believing that you would speedily take such action as would relieve them of undeserved censure. For mjself , I can only say that I believe that this unfortunate situation will appeal to jour well known reputa tion for fairness , and that you will see to it that the Innocent are made to suffer. It would bo appreciated by us , if your action would be in the nature of a statement to the press , clearly sep- eiatlng the defective tunnel work fiom the work of Kellner & Woerth , con- ti actors , and myself as architect , upon the old west wing. wing.Yours Yours very truly , J. C. Stltt. Governor Meant no Harm. State of Nebraska , Executive Office , Lincoln , Dec. 12 , 190G. James C. Stltt , Norfolk , Nebraska. Dear Sir : Yours ot the llth Instant iccelved enclosing clippings from the World-Herald of December G and 7 , In relation to the defective work done at the Norfolk asylum. In the interview with the re porter who talked with me I said spe cifically that the work In the recon struction of the west wing of the old hospital was very fine and that the building was .finished up In excellent shape and that the work of the tunnel was done soon after the cottages were built. I had no thought of doing the architect or contractors of the late woik there any injustice whatever but was particular to say to the reporter that the work of Kellner & Woeith was well done and that building was In nice shape and ready for occupancy as soon as the furnltuie came. The tunnel work I referred to was done neaily two years ago. I don't think It was done by the same con tractor who built the cottages and I did not aim to connect the construc tion of the tunnel work with either of the building contracts and referring to the erection of the cottages and some defects there I did not In any way connect you or Kellner & Woerth with that. You are at liberty to use this letter if any Injustice has been done you or the conti actors. Very truly yours , John H. Mickey , Governor. MONDAY lYltNTlON.

Cider can only be shipped during comparatively warm seasons of the year so that when the mercury drops below freezing point there Is danger of freezing up the cider In transit and the supply is cut off.
