Mbit In this city next Monday and Tues day afternoons and nights are the great est number of clowns. Jesters, panto mimes'," buffoons, laneys, Torlcks and funny fellows in general, ever assembled 'with 'any tented organization in the his tory of the amusement business. One will encounter a big. fat clown made up to resemble "Little Red Rid ing Hood," another to represent "Sim ple Simon." and so on through the long list of nursery rhymes. Aesop's fables have been-called upon to furnish mate rial for . these funny felows. Little flays are enacted everywhere around he large hippodrome track constantly. "Poxy Grandpa," the "Kauenjammers," "Happy Hooligan." "Nervy Nat." the fat policeman, and all of the familiar, funny characters wll be seen In $7 varieties. These clowns are a clever lot of fel lows, too. They receive large salaries for the display of foolishness that they are constantly engaged in. Take that funny pantomime clown for Instance, To to Due ro, who represents "Old Mother Goose" astride "W property horse. Ducro receives a salary of $86 per week tor hta p"art of th&u. His latest cre ation entitled the "Rabbit Hunt." In which a little dog Is made up to resem ble! a rabbit, la' one of the most dell clouly funny . creations ever, presented to, the public. It is intensely clever and artistic too, and Ducro does some of the cleverest pantomime work seen In many a Cay in this little sketch. There are 88 clowns with the greater Norrla & Rowe circus this season, among them being men who have ap- fieared In every land making people augb.

His body was found floating on the water a ahort distance below the bridge about 15 minutes later by Harry paw, dock watchman, who set out In a rowboat In response to cries far help from the bridge gatetender. A -moat singular feature of the acci dent Is the fact that six years ago Wubbenhorst fell from the bridge draw In exactly the same manner. That time be managed to grab a life preserver thrown him from the bridge. Foreman Btuteman of the bridge says Qatemen ibnrdett and Campion reported to him ithls morning that neither had seen I-Wubbenhorst when they ordered every thing clear for opening the draw in re sponse to signals from the steamer Diamond O, which was coming upstream 'with a barge In tow. They believe that the drowned man must have been on the draw for some time before the bells 'to get off "were sounded. wubbenhorst lived with his wife and eon at 69-H Grand avenue, and was In the habit of walking home from his place of business after closing up for the night It was while on his way home this morning that he walked Into the river exactly as he did one mornln six years ago. The bridge crew knew him well, but failed to eee him ap proach the draw this morning. Gatetender Burdett. who was stationed at the east end gate, says he heard the splash of the falling man when the bridge had swung out sbout 40 feet. He Immediately called out and at the same time tossed a life preserver Into the water about 60 feet below. Thon was no response to his calls and he failed to see any one when a few mo ments later he lowered his lantern by means of a long rope kept handy for that purpose. Search for the body was continued, however, snd In lees than half an hour It was found floating face downward near a lumber raft close to the east bank. Every effort was made to resuscitate the body. Wubbenhorst was 4a years of age. He waa a member of the Eagles lodge. Coroner Flnley Is Investigating the circumstances, but will probably not hold an Inquest. The date for the funeral has not yet been set. SOON SPEAK III WILEUOWIIS Goiemors Itinerary in the Willamette Valley Has Been Arranged. Governor George E.
