Late Nebraska Returns.

Omaha, Nov. 7.-Complete figures
have been received from 20 out of 80
counties in the state. These counties
polled $4,000 votes. or approximately
%one-third of the vote of the state. The
vote of the 20 counties returned is as
follows: Bryan. 1880: Mckinley. 40,-
099. These counties four years ago
gave Bryan 3S,O92: Mckinley. 34.4S1
This change, if maintained, would
come very near wiping out the Bryan
plurality OF 5000 of 1896. Scattering

common thing for the asylum author
tiles to disregard temporary SurrenderS
and the protests of parents in sending
children out of the state to work on
farms until they become of age
The case of the Billotti children has
been brought before Judge Lawrence
in the supreme court, in the shape of
habeaS corpus proceedings. The aSy-
lum officials when asked by Judge
Lawrence why they did not produce the
children in court answered that they
were powerless to do so, as they had
placed the children beyond their reach
until they were 81 years old. They knew
of no way in which they could restore
the children to Billotti, although they
admitted they had made mistake.
Joseph Billotti is a cheese dealer in
this city. Billotti was dumbfounded
when informed at the asylum that the
children were no longer there.
He appealed to Father Bonaventura
Piscopo, head of the American Italian
PrOtectory. Father PiscOpO went to the
asylum authorities and demanded that
the children be returned to their father.

dren were turned over to guardians, de-
spite the protests of parents.

UP TO COLE.
Parsons Asylum Controversy at

State Auditor Cole has referred to
Attorney General GODDARD the Parsons
asylum controversy. Mr.. Cole asks the
attorney general if he shall audit
vouchers and issue warrants to pay for
the asylum site, condemned and ordered
purchased by the so-called estate board
of public works"
The voucher for the purchase of the
land, S37, 000 is signed by NJ. Heery, of
Topeka, who claims to be member of
the board of public works. In this
voucher Mr. Heery testifies that the
der and demands payment therefor.
Mr. Cole declined to take the reSpon-
sibility of paying out this sum of money
unless authorized to do so by Opin
ion from the state legal department.
This action on the part of Mr.. Cole
caused T. N. SeGgwick and E. w Stew
ems, of Parsons, who were with Mr..
Heery at the presentation of the
voucher to Mr.. Cole, to make a, formal
official signature. Mr.. Sedgwick said
Tho action of the board of public
works is legal IN every respect. The
claim that the board has been abolished
is not substantiated by the facts. The
governor of the state cannot abolish
acts of the legislature. The governor
is not as big as the legislature
The condemnation proceedings Will
probably be held irregular, because no
publication of the necessary notices has
been made This is said to be one of
cOndemnatiOnS, which, if true, will de-
stroy what has been done by the Par
sons lawyers even if their other cOnten-
lions were sustained.

We will devote careful attention to the
theatrical end OF the game. I shall
