Cedar Rapids April -Four hun
dred knights of the Ninth Pythian
district assembled in Cedar Rapids
Yesterday in the first annual district
convention The gathering was reps
resentative Of the district in that
every lodge had it's delegation here,
and the attendance included the most
prominent knights in the domain.
1t was only last year that the grand
lodge subdivided the state into dis
tricts, the ninth consisting of Dela-
ware, Dubuque, Linn, Jones, jackson,
Clinton and Cedar counties. The sue
cessful outcome Of the first convention
will, it is believed by many prominent
Pythians, result In a provision by the
grand lodge for the organization OF a
district celebration association on lines
similar to those adopted by the ODD
Fellows. Plans looking forward to this
issue are now III a formative state but
1t Is stated will be perfected and
recommended to the grand lodge for
adoption. This will be the outcome OF
yesterdays great convention, say en-
thusiastic Pythians. Grand Chancellor
Waud stated yesterday that he VIII
advise the grand lodge to make the or
ganization permanent and provide for
the expense of maintenance.
During the interim the proposition
will be discussed and when the time
arrives for it's presentation to the
grand lodge, it Is expected that favor
able action will be taken.

Paullina, April Our usually quiet
town was again startled and greatly
shocked. when it was announced that
Mr.. Claus Jacobs had committed sui
eide by shooting himself thru the head
yesterday morning, dying instantly.
The facts. as nearly as can be. ascer-
tanned at this time. are as follows:
Mr.. JACOBS had been in poor health
Tor some time, but this fact was known
20 only q few persons. He called on
his next door neighbor and friend,
and shaking hands made the remark;
.Good bye; am going to kill my
self"
The nei,.hbor thought Mr.. Jacobs
was Joking, and returned into the
house, but, thinking such conduct ana
language strange, stepped out OF the
house to see what was really meant,
when q revolver shot nang out from
Mr.. Jacobs barn, within fifty feet from
where the neighbor was standing. The
neighbor ran to get assistance, now
fearing that some dreadful thing had
happened, and upon investigation aft
te.- reaching the barn, d terrible sight
presented itself. Mr.. Jacobs was lying
on the ground with frightful hole
thru his head, and the fatal revolver
still graspe,d in his right hand.
DR.. Scott was hastily summoned
and reached the unfortunate man In
4 very few moments, but he was past
earthly help, the doctor saying that
he was killed almost instantly. Cor
oner c. B. Rentz was notified and is
holding an inquest. The general opin-
ion is that Mr.. Jacobs must have sud-
denly developed insanity.
Mr.. Jacobs was a retired farmer
owning a large amount of property m
lands in CiBrien county, coming here
from Tama county about nineteen
years ago, farming here for about
eleven years, and then removing to
