Certificates of election were filled out in the ofice of Governor Holcomb yesterday in the name of J. S. Kirkpatrick and William Neville, the two popocratic candidates for continent Judges of the supreme court. This information will doubtless be a surprise to many, but to those who nave kept watch of events since the election it will simply confirm reports or the plans to seat two ad ditional state ofiicers regardless ef that provision of the constitution which requires a majority of all the votes cast at an election to adopt a constitutional amendment. The fact that certificates of elec tion have been made out for two men whose election has not been legally ascertained bears out the assertion made bv one of the candi-dates- Judge William Neville said at his office in North Platte in the presence of two persons, after he had been asked if the two popo cratic candidates were going to be seated: "You can bet your life we are going to be seated. We are going to get certificates of election and be seated, and then let them get cs out if they can." This statement made by one who aspires to the office of judge of the supreme court, a position where the o nicer is called upon to pass upon the right of others, is considered as coming from one who knew whereof he spoke. At any rate the certificates were filled oet yester day. According to plans and speci fications the seating program will be commenced before the legisla ture "and then let them get us out if they can." That Judge Neville is thorough! "V in earnest Is further shown; by his recent trip to Hast ings, wnere sought the counsel of Commissioner Ragan the populist member of the supreme court com mission. His raiiure to get a favorable hearing before the com missioner is now well known. The finding of the state board of canvassers that there was no electron of judges for the reason that there was no such office to fill had not beeen signed yesterday. None of the members seem to take interest in the matter. The failure of this board to complete its find ing and declare the result is sup posed by some to be a plan to give all parties a chance to commence a mandamus suit- If the board fails to declare the result of the election on judges or constitutional amend ments, persons interested on either side are at liberty to begin a suit to compel the board to declare the result and issue certificates of elec tion. 3EA3Y BUDGET J.

The Blair hocse collar factory, which was not rebuilt after being burned down some months ago, is being resuscitated. A new com pany has been organised and it will begin to maufacture collars again and will tan its own leather. William Barnes f Blair saed Wil liam Ouinlan for 510,000 damages, accruing for the loss of an arm. The case has been on trial this week, with Fremont attorneys as prosecutors. A verdict of S412 was the award of the jury. This- will not pay the doctor and the lawyers. The Hon and the Iamb have shown a disposition to lie down together at Omaha. The election of officers for the Trans-Mississippi exposi tion has just been held and Editor Rosewater has been chosen chief of the Bureau of Publicity and Editor Hitchcock chief of the Bureau ot Promotion. It augurs well. A lady of Kimball county, eighty four years of age. became confased whiie oa the prairie after the cows, and her brother, with whom, she lived, aroused the neighbors and began a search that lasted all night before she was foend. She had paced off about eighteen miles and was little the worse for wear and cold weather. The bills providing for public buildings at Hastings, Plat ts mouth York and Norfolk are ia the hands of Congressman Mercer at Wash inglon. but of course hev stand no show of getting through at this session. These sprightly towns will not get sacfc recognition, at least until a reewse law is passed by congress that will produce rev enue not a deficit. Congressman Meikktjobfi has just returned from a besiness trip to Tennessee, .where he has been exploring the smnfcaiH regions of that state ad Aiabaaa, securing leasesaf faSKitbe-t region- and Is one of a company jast organised at Omaha to develop the business. The company has secured leases on 160,000 acres of land and will bore for all kinds of oiL iaclnding hair oil. fusel oil, gargling oil and goose grease. Mr. Meiklejofea will leave just after Christmas for the east for a visit with friends, before the assembling of congress after the holiday recess. An awful accident befell the tittle IS-months old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Mike Blecha, who live three or four miles southeast of Sterling. The parents bad gone oet to do the evening chores, leaving the little one la the house. They were gone oaly afeoet twenty minutes, a ad when they returned they were hor rified to see their baby suspended by its clothing on a nail in one of the windows. They hastened to its relief, bet too late, for life was gone. It is supposed that the baby had climbed up in the window to look oat and tell, its clothing catching oa a nail and held the baby in such a manser as to throw its head down, and- that it strangled to death.

Ton must fcsow that for three months of the year to wit, Decem ber, Jairaery and February the great khan resides intfaesapital city of Cathay, which, is called Camba lae, aad which, is at the northeast era extremity of the conntry. In that city stands his great palace, and now I win tell yon what ft is like. It is iaelosed all aromkl by a great Trail forming a square, each, side of four miles. It is also very thick and a good ten. paces in height, white washed aad loopholed all round. At each angle of the wall there is a very fine and rich palace, in which, the war harness of the emperor is kept. such, as bows and quivers, sad dles aad bridles and bowstrings and everything needful for an army; also midway between every two of these corner palaces there is another of the Kke. so that, taking the whole compass of the inckstnre, yon find eight vast palaces stored with the great Mag's harness of war. And yoo. mist trnderstaad that each pal ace is assigaed to only one "Hnd of atide. Thus oee is stored wish bows, a second with saddles, a third with, bridles, aad so on ia snceession right round. The great wall has five gates on its southern face, the middle one being the great gate, which, is never opened on any occasion except when the great khan himself goes forth or eaters. Close on either side of this great gate is a smaller one. by which, all other people pass, and then, to ward each, angle, is another great gate, also open to people in general, so that on that side there are five gates in alL Inside of this wall there is a sec ond, inclosing a space that is some what greater in length. Twn in breadth. This indosnre also has eight palaces, corresponding to those of the outer wall, and stored, like them, with the king's harness of war. This wall also has five gates oa the southern face, corresponding to those ia the outer wall, and has one gate on each of the other faces, 8 the outer wall has also. In the middle of the second inclesure is tho king's great palace, and I"w31 tell you what it is like. Ton mess kaow the, it is the greatest palace that ever was. To ward the north It is in contact with the outer wall, while toward the south there is a vacant space widen the barosE aad the soldiers are con stantly traversing. The palace itself has ao "upper story, but is all on the ground floor, only the basement is raised some ten palms above the surrounding soil, and this elevation is retained by a wall of marble raised to the level of the pavement, two paces in width and projecting be yond the base of the palace so as to form a kind of terrace walk, by which people can pass round the bcHding, aad which, is exposed to view, while on the outer edge of the wall there is a very fine piUexed balustrade, and up to this the peo ple are allowed to come. The roof is very lofty, and the walls of the palace axe all covered with, gold and silver. They are also adorned with representations of dragons, sculp tured and gilt, beasts and birds, knights and idols and sundry other subjects. Aad on the ceiling, too, you see nothing but gold and silver and painting. On each of the f our sides there is a great marble stair case leading to the top of the marble wall aed formisg the approach to the palace. The hall of the palace is so large that it could easily dine 6,000 peo ple, aad it is quite a marvel to see how many rooms there are besides. The building is altogether so vast, so rich, and so beautiful that no man on earth could design anything su perior to it. The outside of the roof also is aH colored with verraiSon and yellow and green and bine and other hues, which are fired with a varnish so fine and exquisite that they shine like crystal aad lend a resplendent luster to the palace as seen for a great way round. The roof is made, too, with sueh strength aad, solidity that it is fit to last for ever. On the interior side of the palace are larsre iMnkhnss, with haSs aad eb&mbers, where the emperor's pri vate property is plaeed, such as his treasures of gold, silver, gems, pearls and gold piste, and in which reside the ladies of the court. 2scah.
