-- Every respectfully,
..~ ~.-,- -"Rena B. Cathcart'' =
Now, the petition on file is not sworn
to by Miss Cathcart and it is very doubt
full whether she knows the contents of
the petition. This petition has been writ
ten up and sent to the, different papers
for comment, with no other purpose than
to injure the company's business. The
petition alleges particular statements
which Miss Cathcart would not dare to
swear to because they are absoluteIysf
Miss Cathcart never refused her policy
and never demanded the return of her
premium. The last communication we
had from her was dated July s, 1902, ask
ing US to change her address. The whole
thing was gotten up for no other purpose
than to try to create adverse public senti-
ment. It is not true that Miss Rena B.
Cathcart Is poor girl. It is true, so
far as we can learn, that she is a young
lady Of good repute, and we are the more
inclined to believe that this attorney who
filed this case did so without her knowl-
edge or consent so far as the allegations
set forth in the petition are concerned and
that he has no idea Of winning his case
and that he clearly knows that he has
not a shadow Of case.
Now, we charge that Mr.. Curtis is a
coward and coward Of the basest kind,
! md fn
If She had a shadow of manhood in him
he would not be attacking the city of Des
Moines, the whole state. Of Iowa and all
Of the insurance interests in this city in
an attempt to hit special company that
he was afraid to attack in the open. The
| business Of this Company has been so
transacted that the men who stand spon-
sors for it have nothing to conceal and
are willing to make an open fight There
will be nothing held back. There Is no
company doing business in the state of
| Iowa, whether organized under the laws
| of this state or not, that Is more able to
carry out it's policy contracts and Is more
carefully protecting the interests Of its
poicyholders than Is the Northwestern
Life and Savings Company, and the insin-
uations made by Mr.. Curtis to the effect
that the Company Is defrauding the peo-
pie are absolutely and unqualihedly false,
and it's contract is more liberal than that
Of any policy written within our knowl-
| edge Respectfully,
