Fairfield, Neb., by yie chert ft of Clay
. county. Betides working men In Elmwood
and other towns In Cans county, Marston
found victims In Silver Creek, Grand Island,
Falls City and other towns Jn this state.
Hi craft waa to represent himself as the
aath orlxed agent for first-class insurance
oompanlea and collect the fee ' and leave
the victim to hold a worthless policy. He
la a smooth talker and hla ability along
that Una enabled him to "rope" In many
I victims, w tine in mis cuumr no ciainifa
to represent an Insurance company In St.
LouIh, and the fact waa learned after sev
eral of hla victims had written to the in-
swranca company, wno replied inn jaarsion
waa a fraud and that those who paid htm
money had I been : buncoed. Sheriff J. D.
McBrldo haa returned from Lincoln with

HUMBOLDT, Neb. Deo. 18. (Special.)
The arrest sof J. Forrest Marston, an al
leged Insurance crook, at Fairfield la a
source of aatlsfactlon to a -number of Hum
boldt citizens, who "claim to be victims.
Marston waa in this section about 'four
months ago and one of hla first acta waa to
fill the pulpit at the Baptist church, and he
also delivered a lecture on what ha had
Been in -"TPaleatlna and the Holy Land."
Hla attitude brought him into contact with
(nany of the church people, ' and being a
Smooth talker, when ho sprung his insur
ance schema ha reaped a rich harvest. Ha
pretended to be agent for the Aetna, of
Hartford, which ha claimed had established
a branch to take care of alck and acci
dent inauraaoa. He had some printed mat-
tar, and a part of it bora the imprint or
J. T. MaaUn of Kansas City, who it ta
Understood la the western agent of the real
Aetna company.' The similarity of the
names MaaUn and Marston made many
persona believe they were the same, but
Whenever anyone notioed the difference
Maraton, It la clalmd, made the atatement
that ha waa in reality a brother of the
Kannaa City man. but as a great deal of
confusion resulted from the similarity ha
bad changed a letter or two in hla cogno
men. Maratoa'a first move waa to- ap
point L H. Smith, an Humboldt attorney,
aa local agent, and the latter assisted him
ta working up the business. The appllca-
ttona wars signed by a number of the busl-
J cash premluma In amounts ranging from
!$10 to 130, and In return for thla Marston
gave a common receipt bearing hla name
!) agent Of the Aetna. Several days paased
if ana no paucJes. were produced and aome
j Of the Investor became dissatisfied and
tnade Inquiry of the agent, but he put them
off with tortus of - delayed reports. One
ttiember become sick and waa paid hla ben
efit upon demand, it having developed aft-
sward that the amount came out of Mars
fton'a pocket. Finally after the agent left
the city a letter of Inquiry waa aent to the
company at Hartford, which brought back
tba nowa that they had no euch agent and
too auch department of insurance. A war
rant waa issued soma lime ago and today
Marshal Todd communicated with tba
Bherlff at Flattamouth, . who now holds
Marston, and obtained hla promise to hold
the man for the Humboldt partlea If ha
bould not be convicted there.

tloa Matter.
NORFOLK, Neb., Deo. 18. (Special.)
Norfolk and north Nebraska are atlll won
dering whether or not thetState Board of
Public Lands and Buildings ever really
intended to get busy on the Nebraaka
State Hospital for the Insane at thla place,
and whether, aa a matter of fact, they
have any definite plans' toward rebuilding
the inatltutidn Which' waa destroyed by
fire and for which 8100,000 waa appropriated
by the last legislature. .. 1
Although the bill providing for the re
construction .passed with the emergency
clause, and despite the continued promises
of the board to coma to Norfolk and in
spect the site and bulldlnga now standing,
the body haa never put in an appearance
and upon every data aet for their coming
they have failed to show up. A little over
a week ago a correspondent wrote to his
paper from Linooln that the board would
arrive In Norfolk on December 11. This
waa doubted and no one waa disappointed
at the nonarrival of the state officials.
Nebraaka haa . a 'great. many thousands
of dollars' worth of property at the insti
tution which la shrinking in value every
day. The brick walla on the main building
stand. aa they did when the building waa
put up, but svery breess and every snow
and every cold night wastes away their
atrength and consequently every hour that
passe ia taking more money out of the
purse of the people.
The 1100,000 appropriated by the legis
lature waa available soon after the ad
journment and ever since that time the
atato board haa been putting off the people
of Norfolk-with promises that have In no
way been fulfilled.

ested in ths coming meeting of the State
Teachers' association aa the time drawa
near, and from the reporta received the at

history of the association, the attendance
probably reaching 1,600. The reporta show
that all of the teachera in many of the
towna will be preeent and in aome of them
many mpre will enroll than are now teach
ing. This will be true of Beatrice, where
v'ha reporta Bay the enthusiasm haa reached
a stage that will leave not a single teacher
in the city during the association meeting.

come from there fully aa large aa aent laat
year. ' From Nellgh, Valentine, Chadron,

alumni' will attend.
All teachera of I-atln are greatly Inter
ested in the association this year, as they
have secured Dr. W. O. Hale of the Uni
versity of Chicago aa their special guest.
Dr. Hale ia without doubt one of the great
est authorities on Latin syntax In thla

ciation on "Wednesday the 80th, and on

through hla Influence largely that the ex-.
ecutive committee of the association waa
able to secure- the servlcea of so dis
tinguished a scholar. Dr. Hale haa his
heart In the teaching of high school Latin
and it will be especially for high school
teachers that his coming will be beneficial.
