COLLINS , ASSISTANT TO ATTORNEY GENERAL , DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Familiar Nebraskans at National Capitol ( Continued from Tenth Page. ) without estate when ho was a mere led living In Iowa , his birth state , and con sequently he hud to hustle for a living from early years. He served as a farmhand several years during the farming season and occasionally attended -the country schools In winter. He graduated from Parsons college , Fairfleld , la. , In 1885 , mov- ng to Nebraska In that year to take a place n the faculty of Hastings college. All ils political life has been realized in No- iraskn , having represented the Fifth Ne braska district In the Fifty-fourth congress. Since assuming theauditorship for the Treasury department ho has passed upon moro and larger accounts than any officer n the history of the country. Mr. Andrews s a student , the habits of study formed as a boy standing him in gcod stead now hat he is a part of President McKlnley'a oniclnl family. William 'H. Michael , chief clerk of the OHN HYDE , CHIEF STATISTICIAN FOR AGRICULTURE DEPARTMENT. State department , has enjoyed confidential elatlons with many of the nation's leading non of the past quarter of a century. Ho amo to Washington from Grand Island , where the nt ono time edited the Timea of hnt city , to take the place of clerk of the enato committee on printing and compiler of the Congressional Directory , cnado va unt by the death of Benjamin Porley Pooro. Colonel Michael Is a wounded soldier with a record for faithfulness and gallantry of vhlch any man might be proud. Ho has icon an ardent republican all his life and md Elaine been elected president would mvo been appointed United States marshal or Nebraska , as bo had the endorsement f the entire delegation of that state. Ho jecamo chief clerk of the State department under Secretary John Sherman and has opt It through Secretaries Day's and Hay's dmlnlstrntlons. Michael was born in Ohio , vhlch may account for his present position , or Ohio and Indiana seem to have the blg- cst pull with the administration BO far is lucrative places go. But these are not the nly Nebraskans by any means holding csponslbla positions hero In Washington. The War department has several bright oung men from Nebraska , In the postofllco cpartmont there are others , and If a Nebraska colony could bo organized In this city I have no doubt that a hundred actlvo Nebraskans could bo Induced to sign the rolls. All of which comes of being In touch with the administration. E. C. SNYDER. A Letter from Edward Rosewater OMAHA , Aug. 21 , IS99. John Steel , General Agent Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Co. , Omaha , Neb. : Dear Sir I have yours of the 19th Inst. giving results on my policy No. 192,047. This policy is a 30-year endowment with a 10-year distribution or semi-tontine period. Issued September 2d , 1SS9 , at the ago of 49. Annual premium ? 477.00. I aim now offered several options of set tlement , one of which-is cash : Reserve guaranteed In policy. .J2.478.GO And surplus 1,885.43 Total cash value $1,363.93 which , should I surrender the policy , would have given mo ? 10,000 Insurance from ago 49 to ago 59 for $406.07. That the cash value should bo over 70 per cent In excess of what the company guaranteed ton years ago , and $139.93 more than the estimate you gave me when you took my application , Is a surprise to me. I have for many years carried the largest amount of llfo Insurance of any citizen of Nebraska , and hold policies In nearly all the loading companies. But the North western has on this , as well as other policies I hold In your company , given me by far the best results. I attribute your company's success largely to Its superior nnethod of Investing its funds and careful selection of risks. Yours very truly , E. ROSEWATER.
