It remained the capital until Nebraska became a state on March 4, 1807, when It lost out to Lincoln, then a bare spot on an alkali fiat, as it was described by an opponent. It is not only these stirring and vital political events but many another thrilling Incident of her history that will be commemorated at the diamond jubilee celebration in Omalm In November.

Like all states of the Western frontier, Nebraska has had her quota of picturesque figures and some of them are still living and have been asked to take part in the jubilee.
