We have already called the atten-
ton Of our readers to the State Fair.
which is to be held at Omaha the
coming fall. We know that Webster
county is capable of producing some
thing that would do as honor on that
occasion. There is no better place in
the State for the growth Of grain OF
vegetables than tho Republican Valley.
Now We ask that the farmers make an
effort to ralse something for exhibit
ton GU that OCCASION. A little extra
pains with something, q few potatoes,
. small piece Of corn, wheat or other
small grain, or garden vegetables, will
produce something that viii do more
to advertise the country than anything
else you can do. 10 say nothing about
the increased value Of your own pro-
ducts. The State Agricultural Society
is under good management. and is do
ing a great work for Nebraska. We
presume the Secretary. Hon. d. II.
Wheeler, of Plattsmouth will furnish
any desired Information, concerning
premiums, &C., q he has his heart in
the work. and labors increasingly to
make the State Fair Q success

MArRRlALlzED SPIRITS.

At the seances held by Mr.. and Mrs.
Holmes, at Philadelphia, a most notable
feature has been the appearance of the
materialized spirit of Katie King.
Such emminent men as DR.. Child and
Robert Dale Owen we're led 10 believe
that these n. manifestations were genuine,
and gave their testimony to that effect.
It was claimed by spiritualists that the
fact had been proven that it is possible
for spirits to materialize themselves.
But recent investigations have shown
that Katie King was material" beyond
a doubt, and her pretending to be ma
terialized spirit was all a humbug.
Hence Robert Dale Owen has the follow.
ing card to the public:
"Circumstantial evidence, which !
have Just obtained, induces me to with
draw the assurance which / have hereto
fore given of my confidence in the genu.
inc character of certain manifestations
presented last summer, in my presence,
through Mr.. and Mrs. Nelson Holmes.
ROBERT DALE OWEN.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 6, 1874"

The Parsons Sun is of the opinion that
the bill for the relief of settlers in the
western part of our State, which allows
them absence from their claims until
July 1875 will be of little if any benefit
to them and quite an injury to the State.
1t says that the great majority of those
who leave their claims will never return,
and that others who would take this land
and help develop the State will he kept
from doing so until the expiration of the
time of this leave of absence. We be.
lieve there is good deal of truth in this.
Special legislation, either State or Ma
ti6nal; for the relief of temporary embar.
rassment will ia the end do more harm
than good. 1t gets the people in the
habit of looking to the Legislatures and
Congress for relief in all financial troubles
instead of depending Or their own in.
dustry, thrift and economy.

KANSAS is ahead in the business of ma
terialized spirits. Since Katie King of
Philadelphia is no more Father King
from the land of Spirits puts in his ap-
pearance at farm house near LaCygne.
In answer to the question "Who are
youg" Father King replied, Il am a
man who once lived OH this earth about
q 900 years ago." He said he had no
name. but in the spirit land they some
times called him Father King. Eng
land has Katie and John King, but
they are mere infants in the world Of
spirits when compared with Father King
of eur State.

against George Martin, (the present State

years has been larger than it should be
in hard times, but this is doubtless the
fault of the Legislature and not the

thew numbered 9S5. At this rate of de-

that the "peace policy" is the cause of
this decrease it would be more popular
