De RnlIOCIt'A DeAth.

We received a call yesterday morning from
our townsmau, Mr. B. McElwain, local agent
for Home Life ms Co. In the course OF con-
yersation with Mr.. McEwan we learn that
he goes TO Ncrmlliouyillc ,hi, week to settle
the loss to his company Occasioned by the
death If DR.. Frank W. Bullock, Of that place.
While we deeply mourn the loss Of DR.. Bul.
lock- who had 4 wide circle OF friends III OF,
tawa, we cannot but admire his sterling bust,
ness qualities As n man and his undlsputed
integrity az inauciSr.
Among other investments, believing lhat
an endowment policy in good life Insurance
company offered special Inducements, on The
a2d day Of October, 4 ~. 1879, he secured
tweuiyyuar endowment for 80 coo, on the
ouc.Ihird loan plan, in the "llomc," Of Ne"
York.
Mr. McElwain very kindly has consented 10
submit statement Of Dr. Bulock's policy.
Statement OF policy No. IS SOC, issued Oct.
.29, 1879, upon the life Of Frank W. Bullock,
NJ. D., OF Vermlllonvillr, La Sale Co., H.;
Age at nearest birthday 81 years,
Kind Of policy, 20.ycar endowment, II loan.
Amount Of policy, $1,000,
Annual cash premium, Sl6l.9G.
Amount paid during 1 ycars......... $iOISi
Amount OF unpaid premium loans. l6S"3
Cost Of policy.............. '..... 21o U oo
Amount paid policy holder. ........ 81, GOO 90
that tins policy 10 but 3lG years old. The
first dividend Amounted to $50 20, or nearly
"A per cent of total premium, and ms the dlv'
iGends increase each year it will be easily
seen that had the policy continued until the
end Of the 90 years the dividends would have
paid the entire loan, and the results would
then have been as follows
Amount paid policy holder, 50 10000
Annual cash premium, slOl96.
Amount paid company in 20 years. 81, O39 20
Amount OF profit on investment. o6OSO
g, 900 90
Thus, it will be seen, had DR.. Bullock lived
until the end Of the endowment term the
"Home" would have carried his insurance OF
33, 600 for 90 years, and upon the maturity OF
the policy would have paid him 5000 so more
than he had paid them, or nearly AZ per
cent, compound interest on every dollar he
had invested.
The death Of DR.. Bullock and tic prompt
ness with which the Home" has paid its
loss has brought the subject of life insurance
before our mind in very emphatic way.
We hear A great deal SAID about insurance
companies evading losses and creeping out
of the least possible loop hole, but when we
consider that the amount is SIS, 100000 paid
ont each wear by Insurance companies to
widows and orphans, it seems to us that the
benefits bestowed by the insurance compa-
mics are second to none on the face Of the
globe.
The opinion OF all thinking people is that
that company which adjusts its losses with
the greatest degree OF promptness IL the one
most worthy Of our consideration and patron
age. and as such the old Home has world
wide reputation
