From Wednesdays Daily.
Rev. T. J. Myers, of Mt. Pleasant,
was in the city today, when he receiv-
ed telephone message informing
him of the very sudden death of his
aged father, the Rev. Reuben Myers,
which occurred at the family home in
Mt. Pleasant shortly after s o'clock
this forenoon. The aged gentleman
was in good health and he ate a
hearty breakfast with the other mem
bers of the family. He was sitting
in parlor reading, when he was no.
ticed to pitch forward. With few
gasps he passed away. The physi-
clans pronounced the death the re-
suit of heart disease.
Rev. Myers, now deceased, was
born near Pittsburg, Pa, and when he
was boy he went with his parents
to Ohio. When young man he went
to Indiana, where he was married to
Miss Sallie Moore. To them four
children were born, two of whom are
still living. These are the Rev. T. j.
Myers of Mt. Pleasant and Mrs. w. e.
Creath of Agency. Mrs. Myers died
two years ago.
Rev. Myers was Sc years old. He
was circuit rider in this section of
the state in 1910, and during the many
years after that date he lived in
Agency. He was one of the best
known Methodist preachers in the OF.
tumwa district. He will be buried in

the Appanoose county poor farm on
Saturday with view to bringing one
OF its inmates, the two-year-old daugh-
ter of Martha Rice, to Ottumwa, for
the purpose of finding home for the
little one. The story goes on to say
that Mrs. Perry went to the farm, ac-
companied by Attorney Clarence s.
Wycoff, of Centerville, and on arriv-
ing there was informed that the child
had been taken away during the prev
ious night by the mother, who. accord
ing to the Centerville paper, is wo-
man of i'll repute. So far as is known
at present the mother and child have
not been found, and nothing is known
of their whereabouts.
Rev. U. B. Smith, of this city, presi-
dent of the American Home Finding
association, was interviewed today by
Courier reporter and said that he
knew nothing of the affair, except
that he has arrangements with the
auditor of Appanoose county to the
effect that the society of which he is
the head shall care for the children
sent them by the county.
Rev. Smith says that on Friday Mrs.
Perry, who was in Centerville at the
time in the interest of the associa-

county had a child for the association
to take, and asking him what should
be done with the little one. He in

WILL NOT CORRECT ABUSE.
Major Lacey Discusses Bill on Invalid
Pensions,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 5.-Major
Lacey, member of congress from Iowa,
a member of the Grand Army of the
Republic, with four years of service
during the war between the states,
says that the bill providing for a pen
sion court of appeals was not a meas
ure which will solve the abuses of
which the Grand Army is complaining.
The Major says that the prospective
pensioner does not want court. In
stead of that he wants commission
or commissioner of some authorized
authority which can pass upon the
claims from the standpoint of gen.
erous and beneficent government,
ready and willing to take care of those
who fought for the Union. The Ma
jor has worked thru several thousand
claims and says that the trouble with
most fthe claims now is that they can
not be proved under the existing laws.
These claimants do not want a court
with judicial powers, for these claims
will be in a much worse shape before
such body, which can only exercise
judicial powers, than they are under
existing conditions.

SHAW OUT OF RACE.
viii Not Accept the Nomination for a
Third Term.

Third Term.
Des Moines, Feb. 5-Governor Shaw
last night gave out an unequiyocal
statement that he would not be can
'didate for nor accept a third term as
governor. 1T was contained in the
following letter:
ITO Hon. R. P Clarkson, Des Moines,
lowa.-My Dear Sir: The first men
ton of my name for third term hav-
ing appeared editorially in the Regis
ter, it is due that its editor shall be
the first to receive a formal statement
of my position. This was unnecessary
until after the decision of the supreme
court on the Titus amendment, and
now avail myself of the first hour in
my Office after this decision to say
have been urged by very many
friends turnout the state, and not a
few beyond, to become at least a re-
ceptive candidate. The people of To-
wa have been exceedingly kind to me,
and ought not to rudely treat their
more recent expressions of regard.
But political precedent, the prompt
ing of my heart, the wishes of my fam
lily, and my deliberate judgment, all
lead to the same conclusion.
81 must, therefore, decline either to
be a candidate or to allow the use of
my name, or to accept the nomination
under any circumstances. or however
unanimously rendered.
Yours sincerely,
Leslie M. Shaw"

NOTES AssEssARLE.
Opinion on Those Given for Rent of
Land.

Des Moines, Feb, 5.--Attorney Cen
eral Mullan has made public an opin-
ion he has written in accordance with
a request from the county attorney of
Storey county in regard to an assess
ment matter. He notes the fact that
the county attorney is the legal ad-
wiser of the county assessors and it
is not customary for the attorney gen
eral to render opinions in such cases,
but inasmuch as it is desirable to
have the methods of,assessing uniform
thruout the state he disregards the
custom. The question asked related
to assessing note.
"a promissory note" says the at
torney general, given for rent of land
which falls due February 1, 1901, is
assessable. 1t is claim or demand
to become due for money, and wheth-
er it bears interest or not is not ma
terial so far as it's being assessable is
concerned, and the assessor should, in
my judgment list and assess it the
same as any other promissory note
within his district"
