FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IN NEBRASKA.

     Upon Nebraska's admission to Statehood, March 1, 1867, the federal governmeat relinquished local government to the state. Many points of contact with the general government are still in existence, and federal activities within the borders of the state continue to multiply. Numerous Nebraskans, also, are om the federal service in Washington, old elsewhere.

     These relationships of Nebraska and Nebraskans with the federal government are evidenced by the following partial roster of persons engaged in these various activities under control of the federal government.
