Nalimal THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: UNDAY. MARCH 3. It pays the largest dividend of any company in the world. Its death rate for many years past has been lower than any of the old companies. The company is prohibited by its charter, loaning money to any officer, director or employe. No investments are made in railroad or other speculative securi- ties, 85 is the custom of other companies. Its interest receipts alone since organization have more than paid all death claims. In this it has no equal. The salaries paid to the officers and alerks of this company are less than any other similar institution in this country, only $23.644.23 last year. It was chartergd by the legislature of Vermont in 1848, and therefore practically covers the whole history of life insurance in this country. The charter and general laws of Vermont, under which this eompany operates, are so strict that every' safeguard has been thrown around its policy-holders. It is purely a mutual company, there being no stock -holders to claim any portion of the profits ereated by the policy-holders money. Should the purchaser wish at any time to discontinue the install- ments the company will redeem the policy for the stipulated sum expressed upon its face. If unable to pay the installments coming due, the company will advance the amount desired and continue the policy in force. The promptness with which “THE NATIONAL” pays its déat claims is best evidenced by the following letter: OMAHA, Feb. 23, 1339, Messrs. M. L. Roeder & Bro., Managers Natl Life Ins. Co.,, Omaha, Neb. Gentlemen: I beg to express mythanks for the prompt and cour teous manner with which the claim of my wife, Marie Frances Petty, lately deceased, was paid by the National Life Insurance Co. You can refer to me in both the above particulars, for [ can con- scientiously recommend it to any one desir ng insurance. To speak of the liberality and promptness of the National Life of Vermont in the highest praise is but to say that which in every respect is true. Yours truly, (Signed) JAMES. K. PETTY.

IS 01 Exeelene, e National s Installment Bonds It protects agamst adversity in business. It is an investment and a protection combined. It guarantees that a certain amount of money, with interest, will be accumulated withln a specified time. The installments paid are like depositsin a savings bank, and are returned to the bondholder at his option. The bond affords the very best se :urity, and isnegotiable the same as any other bond or stock. Under this bond you “PAY AS YOU GO; STOP WITHOUT LOSS STOP WITH PROFIT, or CONTINUE FOR GREATER PROFITS. The bond is not hampered by any conditions or restrictions, and its cash value cannot be impaired or jeopardized. In case of death your heirs receive the fullamount of the bond. If you live you receive the full amount of the bond with interest. The bond matures at a specified time or in the event of previous death, for its face value, and guarantees a definite sum in cash every year. Every policy issued by this company guarantees: First—A Cash Surrender Value. Second—A Paid-up Policy, or, Third —Extended Insurance for the Full Amount of the Policy. : By this, the NEGOTIABLE VALUE is estabiished from YEAR ta YEAR, and there can never be any dispute or misunderstanding as to what it is worth if the holder desires to dispose of it. No other company issues so desirable and equitable a policy as the “Old Na=~ tional of Vermont.” SUMMARY. A $10,000, 20-YEAR NATIONAL BOND provides as follows! First—That the $10,000 bond can be paid up in 20 years by annual or semi-annual installments. Second—'1 hat $10,000 will be paid, should death occur at any time within the twenty years. Third—That the cash value guaranteed on the margin of the hond will be loaned or paid to the holder of the bond at any time. Fourth—That the bond participates in the profits of the company, and §10.000, with all the accrued surplus, shall be paid at its ma- tarity.

The Oharge of its Misappropriation Completely Refuted. MALICIOUS SLANDER REBUKED. A Story of the Negotiations Backed up by Indubitable Proofs—A Greedy Lawyer and Needy Banker at ‘the Bottom of It. History of the Fund. For the sake of creating a sensation and with evident malicious 1ntent to lower me in the public esteem and raise the wind for newspapers that are sadly in want of patron- ago, the following report has been published simultaneously in Omaha and Lincoln dal Soon after the blizzard of Januavy 12, 1888, Tur OMAnA Beg started a fund for the relief of Miss Royce, and during the winter and spring of 1558 the people subscribed and paid in the sum of #5800, Of this amount Mr, Rosewater has paid over $1,500 to Miss Royce, aud retains in his possession exactly $4,000. The payment of this money has been urged upon Mr, Rosewater by Miss Royce and friends repeatedly, but he has refused on the ground that she would squander it. His first provosition was that he would in- vest and care for the money kimself, but now, after holding the funds for a year, he refuses pay either the principal or interest, and gives no satifactory answer 10 the inquiries concerning the mat. Miss Royce has offered to give ample rity that the money will not e wasted. s havo agreed to hold it for her, pay ing 8 per cent interest semi-annually, and giving bonds in_any reasonuble amount that the principal will be turned over unimpaired in ton years, To this proposition Mr. Rose- water at first assented. The bonds wore made out, but he rejected them and retained the mondy without ussigniog any reason therefor, ‘The truth of the foregoing can be substan- tlated by addressing uny of the following entleme J. T, Hecht, bavker, Plainview ; . M. Duteher, merchunt, Plaioview: C, H Folsom, merchant, Plainview: W. W Quivey, county attorney, Pierce; J. H. Ste art, roal estate dealer, Pierce; Miss Louie Royce, Mount Vernon, Ta.” ‘Clhiere is just semblauce of truth enough in this report to arouse intense indignation and impress the public with the be that a high-handed outrage had been committed under the cloak 07 benevolence. This im: ression will be dispelled when the true his- &I of the case is told. The memorable anpeal of Tue Bee on be- half of the victims of last year's blizzard was first made in behalf of Minaie Freeman and Ella Shartuck. Later, the names of Lole M. and Lens Woebbecke jwere added to the list, as was also the Westphalen monu- ment. When the contributions were all in, by the middle of May, the following result ‘Was published over my name: Coontributions for Minnie Freeman .$ 1,053 63 bl ‘O Etta Shattuck... 4,074 66 “ ¢ Loie M.

This petition was headed Mr, J. F. Hecht, president of the Plainview bank, who also wrote a separate letier, representing that the parents of Miss Royce were im- rovident and liable to spend her woney and vo her destitute. Upon receipt of these latters I set about Lo devise some plau by which Miss Royce would derive a steady income from the fund without being able to impair her capital. While these inquiries were pending and plans werc maturing, I received the folluwing letter from Miss Royc PrLAINVIEY, Neb, March 13, 1858.—Mr. Rosewater—Dear Will you kindly como and see me before disposing of the money ,that was raised for my benefit, as I would liko to have a talk with you. There has been 8o much said about appointing guardians, ete. There are special reasons why I wish to sce you. You wrote in your last letter that you would come and_seo me, and I ask it asa request now. Hoping to hear or see you soon, [ remain, very res- pectfull, Loie M. Rovce, About a week later T took the train for Plainview, arriving there atter dark. Mr. Hecht met me at the depot and escorted me to bis bauk, an unpretentious frame with a medium-sized safe behind a plain pine counter. After locking me into his room, Mr. Hecht confidentially informed me that Miss Royce was the only daughter of parents that always had been in moderate circum- stances. “‘Her father.” he said, ‘‘hus loafing about town eve he blizzard —nearly three months, Her had had her head turned by the suc den inflow of money, which was then com- ing, not only from Tue Beg, but from con- wributors in‘and out of the state. The woman has become discontented with this place,” he wenton, “and even with Nebraska. She hus brought' on her sister and family and all theso people are living off the relief fund.”” Mr. Heeht further stated that the people of Plainview had collectad quite an amount for Miss Royce but would not pay it over for fear of its being squanderca. After tulking over my plan for investing the money with a first class insurace company for an acnuity payable until death, which Mr. Hecht appearea to approve, I waiked over to the home of Miss Itoyce. After urg- ing my plans for invéating the money to Miss Royca and her mother they hoth consented, and authorized me to make™ the investment. On my way back I met Me. Nat Smails, ed- itor of the Fremont Herald, who appeared anxious to know about the réports concerning the dissipation of the Royee fund. Mr. Smails stated that nearly $49%0 wer held in Fremont for her, but not a dollar would be paid until some arrangements lmd been perfectod to pluce the money out of reach of her relatives. Subsequently Mr. Smails wrote e to the same effect, A fow days after my return I rec following: PLAINVIEW, Neb, March 23, 1383, —Mr. E. Rosewater, Omaha, Neb,—Kind Si 1 have been thinking over your proposition, and have come to the conclusion that I don't like it. As the money was raised for my baneilt, I prefer to have it at my own disposal. 1f am not capable, and the people that gave it think 1'm Dot (it scems that by the Jotters sent with the money that I have recvived, and others that hava be:u put in the fund, that they wished mo to have the money), why, I supose, you will have to kindly retéen it'to them. I was able with my parents help to take care of myself before my afiliction; they can do it now, and are perfectly willing, So if the people wishi e to have the money to take care of myself, please forward it to me. I do not intend to squander it, nor do wmy parents. I nave no husband to do it for me, and I don't intend to get oue. Yours re spectfully Loz M. Roy This decision on the part of Miss Roy-e crested much dissatisfaction at Planvicw, and I requested Mr, Hecht to secure m> a statement as to the squandering of the reiiel fund.
