A SAD AFFAIR.
William Heffon. James Snyder and Wife
and Child and George Hansen Drowned
in the Columbia River.

On Saturday morning Vim. Hefror
accompanied by George Hansen Jas
Snyder, wife and child undertook to
cross the Columbia river about one-hali
mile above the Cascades III sail-boat
The wind died down to calm and as
| the occupants had failed to provide
themselves with oars-having nothing
but a paddle, the boat drifted down to
the fearful falls and the entire party
was drowned. The boat was found
four miles below the falls but none OF
the bodies have been recovered.
VIM. Hefffon was well known
throughout the entire state, having a,
| different times engaged in various pur-
suits at the most important points.
For years he has been resident of
Roseburg where he married Mss Jen-
ME Snyder, who is now left among us
with two bright little boys to mourn
the loss of the husband and father
VIM. Hefron was man of marked
character, generous and charitable, and
possessing in high degree the noble
attribute of standing by his friends.
He had seen much of the world and for
tune had been tickle with him, smiling
on him only to give rougher knock.
But through all the time whether of
prosperity or adversely he was the same
energetic and genial man. He was
born in New York and was 34 years
old. His mother is still living in Lon
don but unfortunately her address is
not known, Every effort will be made
to discoverit.
Jas. Snyder was brother of Mrs.
Hefron, was raised in our town, where
his mother and family now resides.
Last January he moved TO the Cascades
and was prospering. He possessed
many friends in this county among
whom he had passed his life and the sad
affair cast a gloom over the entire com
munity. He was married in this place
to Miss Sarah Morris and several years
they had PASSED together i'll love and
harmony and hand in hand, claspina
their little daughter-they obeyed the
Divine summons and appeared before
he great white throne. He was 29
years old, his wife %, and the little
child 4.
George Hansen was not very well
known in this section, having only Wis
tied it once or twice. In the restless
seething waters of the dark and gloomy
Columbia they rest out of the help OF
humanity that would feign pay the last
tributes of respect to their memory, by
Christian burial. But the rushing
waters, the high rocky cliffs, the forests
in native grandeur that surround their
resting lace and speak with an impres
sive solemnity the great truth of truths
the power of God and that the human
soul is born for an eternal life.

Webb and Sharp wtre appropriate
and full of exalted faith and hope.
Many of the houses in town were dra-

Poverty is no bar to success God

useful ends. Honest toll is the snrest
road to success.
Gods plans and purposes are often
manifest in controlling human affairs.

An Explanation.

I noticed an item in last weeks
Plaindealer headed "a Mean Imposi-
ton" that certain doctor of this place
had imposed upon the integ, ity of that
paper. ! did give to Mr.. Hursh an
item of the accident that befell Miss
Mary Derning of Looking Glass, the
falling from plum tree and that her
life was despailed Of. The item was
given verbally VIZ. "Mr Hursh have
an item, Miss Mary Denning of Look
ing Glass this morning fell from plum
tree and seriously hurt herself, and
think she will not live till morning"
said | had just come from Looking
Glass, which was fact and was lust
going for my mail in hurry, didn't
stop to explain anything more to Mr..
Hursh." He made up the item him
helf, / gave the item to him based upon
the report given to me by James Green
walt who lives within half mile of
Mr.. Dennings where the accident oc-
Cured. Her brother also told me they
didn't think she could live. Now the
immaginary part of the publication of
this Item was wholly on the pattof the
editor. He thought to give favor by
mentioning the name of the attending
physician, hich proved to be errone-
ous, and in his great inauguration
mentioned me as the attending pbysi-
clan.

accidents. "A lady named Griffin
while riding in wagon with her hus-
band was thrown out and the fall
broke her back and otherwise injured
her so that she died in the course of
ten OF twelve hours after suffering the
most intense pain. She leaves hus-
band and four little children in desti-
tute circumstances, to mourn her loss.

killed. -. A lady near Phoenix WIS
thrown from a buggy and had her arm
brok, n A Miss Waters of Jack. on
vile had her clothes take fire and al
though her brother saw her and as soon
as possible wrapped her in blanket,
still she was badly burned. =. And
while | am writing up the mysterious
workings of d. V. must add that
there is now vast amount of sickness
il. this neighborhood our physician is
kept busy all the time and the reports
from other parts of the county are no
better and now we hear of many cases
of diphtheria in different parts of the

John Roblnson's Circus.

John Robinson,s circus, the oldest
and best known in existence reached
Roseburg Tuesday morning. Three
mammoth tents were spread immedi-
ately and at 10 o'clock the grand street
parade7-a very pageant of srlendor,
took place. For the forty minutes
it was passing given point it was con-
tinual novelty after novelty and as the
eve feasted the ear was entertained by
the playing of bands and the Caliope.
At | o'clock the afternoon performance
took place, the vast amphitheater be
ing filled to its utmost. For three
hours were the people entertained by
the daring feats of bareback riding,
the company possessing three Of the
finest and leading specialists in this line
living; the transcendant performances
of the trapeze performers who literally
flew through the air; the amusing and
unsurpassed acting of the troup of ed
ucated dogs, the clowa dog being the
cleyerest animal in the world, the as
founding feats of Fitz-William, the
Irish Hercules among other things
catching II pound ball fired from u
cannon; the magnificent and startling
act of the lady bicyclist on wire high
in the air without counterbaliancing
weights. Besides the acting on the
elevated stage of unequalled skaters,
bicyclists and unicy clists. During the
entire time the audience, at every in
termission were kept i'll continual laugh
ter by the wit and wisdom Of the fa-
nous clown, Lolow, who is decidedly
the best who ever appeard before !.
Roseburg audience. Taken all in all
this grand combined and mammoth
show must be seen to be appreciated.
Every act as advertised was faithfully
| performed, including the throwing Of a
man by Rome's mighty engine, the Cat
apult aud the thrilling headlong leap
for life. Of the museum of living
wonders including as it does, elephants,
lions, tigers, alligators, hyenas, the
only living giraffe in America. sacred
cattle, the three horned bull, tapirs,
yaks, the mammoth horse, whole troups
| of monkeys, the blood-sucking YAM
pires, antelopes from all nations, bears,
camels, ostriches, the South American
condor, the sloth bear, jaguar, and one
might say the sarest specimens of the
animal kingdom from all climes, too
much cannot be said. II is a most
valuable lesson in Natural History ard
is grand collection made possible only
by money, energy, and years of toll.
Do not fail to see John Robinson's
mammoth circus It stands at the
head, peerless, unequalled, unrivalled-
monument to over sixty years of toll
and the grandest aggregation on earth.
LII conclusion we would desire to state
that the management Of the circus was
III able and competent hands. No fa-
kris are allowed with John Robinsons
shows, and all those unpleasant episodes
are avoided. THIS is decided improve
ment ON the character of the shows
that have hitherto visited Oregon and
was duly appreciated. This is con-
trolled in gentlemanly and business
like manner.

if possible, get fat buck. Pete is the

that it does not yet contain half Of the
