LEBANON, Jan. 5. Last night Deputy "United States Marshal George Humph rey, assisted by Joseph Smith and D. D. Shaw, arrested William, alias "Doc" Davenport, at his residence, eight miles from here, on the charge of counterfeit ing 51 silver coins. The prisoner has served a term in the Oregon penitentiary for the same offense. Several plaster-of- paris moulds were found on the premises, and considerable money of his manufac ture is now in the possession of the of ficers. He will be taken to Portland for examination and to await the action of the United States grand jury. N. It. Harris, of the secret-service di vision of the treasury department at San Francisco, laid the plans that led to the capture of the defendant, and secured the evidence which is regarded as sufficient to convict him. (Several weeks ago N. R. Harris, of the "United States secret service, came to Portland and consulted with United States Marshal Grady and United States District 'Attorney Murphy concerning a band of counterfeiters, who were manufacturing both gold and silver coins at Lebanon and shipping them all over the Union. Ten-dollar pieces were made out of solid sliver and then plated with gold. This gave the coin a perfect ring and made it difficult of detection. It is even reported that some of the banks here in Portland were caught. There are four men in the gang, and when Harris had fully worked up the case, Deputy United States Mar shal George H. Humphrey was dispatched to Lebanon. This was on last Thursday. Marshal Humphrey was armed with alias warrants for John Doe and Richard Roe, as the names of the counterfeiters were not known. Friday Humphrey succeeded in making the arrests, and yesterday morning sent a telegram to Assistant United States Attorney Schnabel. convey ing the Intelligence of his success, and requesting Mr. Schnabel to come at once to Lebanon, as the men taken Into cus tody had demanded an Immediate exam ination on the spot. While there is no United States commissioner at Lebanon, it would have been possible for the ac cused to have a preliminary hearing there. Where thero is no commissioner, a jus tice of the peace may act as ex-officlo United States commissioner. The four men arrested, however, changed their minds as to an examination at Lebanon, and a little time after the receipt of the telegram Mr. Schnabel received word that the men had agreed to come to Portland and have their hearing before United States Commissioner J. A. Sladen, who issued the warrants. Deputy Marshal Humphrey will arrive with his prisoners thi3 morning. The names of "Doc" Dav enport's confederates have not yet been .ascertained. United States Marshal Grady materially assisted Mr. Harris in work ing up the case.) FOR ECONOMY. Governor McGraw "Will Sot Appoint Jmlse Gordon')! Sueceinor. OLYMPIA. Wash., Jan. S.

When the train was about nine miles from here, a lady. Mary J. Jasons, was missed from one of the sleepers. The lady was sick, and she was supposed to have -walked from the car while delirious. An engine left here with the lady's husband about 3:20 A- SL to search for her, and her body was found about 20 miles south, near Coles, CaL, badly mangled by the train. It was brought here, and a coroner's jury re turned a verdict In accordance with the facts. She was 43 years old, a native of Holland, and was on her way to Tacoma. A PLAUSIBLE THEORY. Reasons for Believing: a. Seattle Man Wan Murdered. VANCOUVER, B. C, Jan. 3. The theory that Heinrich Zechow, the Seattle man. whose body was found under a wharf in Westminster New Year's eve, was mur dered is strengthened by information ob tained by the police. Jacob Zechow, an uncle of Heinrich, left Germany in 1834, coming to the United States. He first set tled in California, thence removing to Washington, making his home at Port Orchard. Being industrious, he acquired considerable wealth, which consisted chiefly of lands. He took an Indian wom an to live with him, and when he died, in 1S77, he left a son by her, who was then 17 years old. Zechow, commonly called Sigo, left no will, and his estate was set tled by trustees. The estate at that time consisted of 70 acres within the present city limits of Seattle, besides other prop erty, all of which went to his son. In 1892 Heinrich came from Germany in search of his uncle. He finally heard that he was living at Port Orchard, and came up to see him. On his arrival he found the half breed son in possession. On making in quiries, he discovered that the uncle never married the Indian woman; so he decided to contest the ownership of the property, on behalf of himself and relatives in Ger many. He had a large mass of papers, which' were found on his body. It seems he was about to commence an action in the courts when he met his death. The chief of police believes he was murdered to prevent his obtaining the ownership of the estate. OTHER XORTmVEST SEWS. Theodore Benny' Career. SEATTLE, Jan. 5. Theodore J.

Tracks "Washed Out in Many Places by Swollen Streams. WOODLAND, CaL, Jan. 5. The storm. that commenced Thursday, and continued for 24 hours, was one of the heaviest that ever visited this section. The rainfall ranged from four to six inches. The creeks broke over their banks and did con siderable damage, mostly to railroad prop erty. The tracks are washed out in many places. The train from Oroville was sig nalled at Merrits station, and ordered back to Davisville, but had not proceeded very far, when it was noticed that the tracks were sliding and the water was growing deeper and deeper, and finally the train had to be stopped. The passen gers started through the rapidly rising waters to high ground, a quarter of a mile distant.

WHERE FLOODS ARE FEARED. There is Danger of an Overflow In the City of Stockton, STOCKTON, CaL, Jan. 5. The rain of the past two days has again created fear of a possible flood.

Comment of the Leading English Authority Upon the 'Feasibility. LONDON, Jan. 5. The Field will pub lish a long leader on the negotiations for the cup race. After commenting on For est and Stream's trenchant and logical assault upon the deed of gift, the writsr says: "We on this side, like Forest and Stream, concur that theconditlons now agreed upon of the prospective race are fair and liberal. Then why on earth do not the members of the New York club agree to attach these conditions to the cup. They already have altered the deed twice. If they had the right to do that they can alter it twice again. It 13 true that they 'obtained permission from the surviving donor, but he had no right whatever to deal with the cup or the con ditions. Neither had the New York club. They were made trustees, and not own ers, which appears to have been entirely overlooked. Lord Dunraven hopes that the new club will make a definite avowal whether or not the present interpretation of the mutual-agreement clause is legally correct. The general meeting of the Royal Yacht Squadron will be held at noon January 7, while the New Yorkers will be in bed. Therefore, there will be no chance of communication with the New York club during the meeting on the subject of interpretation. Kence it is possible that the Royal Yacht Squadron merely will express an opinion and ap point a committee to confer with the New York club, as in 1SS9. This, unfortunate ly, may prevent a race next autumn." The Field will say also: "Lord Dun raven received a telegram yesterday, in which Mr. Smith, chairman of the cup committee, states that any club holding the cup in the future can accept a chal lenge on the terms which the New York club agreed to accept the present one under the mutual-agreement clause. This goes a little beyond what the New York club has already said. It is not backed by any legal opinion that the deed can be waived, as if it did not exist, and it establishes no rights whatever for the challenger. Yachtmen want the assur ance that If they forward a challenge, ac cording to the conditions now agreed upon in both countries as fair and liberal, It will be necessarily accepted straightaway. Obviously, the New York club cannot bind other clubs, but if it conjointly with the Royal Yacht Squadron expresses and attaches to the deed the opinion that the challenge should be accepted, there Is little fear that other clubs will not observe it." The Field says that should a new Val kyrie be built for a cup race next fall, Lord Dunraven would have Sycamore as his racing master. Sycamore Is famous for his work with the Carina, Vendetta, Balbe and Corsair. OS THE RACETRACK. Bay District Course in Poor Condi tion for Racing.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 5. Judge Buchwal ter today delivered an opinion in the case of the extradition of Rev. Hampton, col ored, demanded by Kentucky for wound ing Mr. Dunham. When Hampton was first brought before the court, the court refused to deliver him, unless he had as surance from the governor of Kentucky and the judge 'of the trial court that Hampton would be protected from vio lence and be given a fair trial. The court said no such assurance had been received. He found both the indictment and the requisition defective in form, but under the broader ground of securing the rights of prisoners, the court held that he was justified in refusing to surrender Hamp ton. The presumption that he would die without legal process, if sent back, had not been rebutted by proof of any kind. The court cited statistics of ten lynch- ings in Kentucky within a comparatively short time, and recalled the fact that one of the victims had been surrendered by this court. The court felt the obligation to perform a moral duty in this case, which could not be enforced by mandamus or other proceedings. He was willing to remand the prisoner upon proper in dictments and requisition, if the govern or or other authority had provided for a force to protect him from violence and insure an impartial trial. This had not been done, and the court felt bound to discharge the prisoner. So much Interest was taken in the case, that other judges left their benches to listen to the de livery of the court's decision. IT WAS IGNORED. The Charge Made Against Governor Hughes, of Arlzonn. PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 5. The federal grand jury investigation of Governor Hughes, charged by two federal officials here with unlawfully retaining interpre ters' or translators' fees, came to an end 'today. The charge was ignored, and, as well, another brought under the same sec tion of the United States statutes against his late private secretary, John Arm strong, now of the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, by whom it was alleged the inter preters fees had been turned over to the governor. The prosecution originally charged em bezzlement against the governor under the various statutes, but finally receded from this to the charge of violating the statute named. The attempt to indict Armstrong was because, without his in dictment, there could be no indictment of the governor, against whom he had been brought here to testify, but whose testi mony refuted every allegation made against the governor.

THE fiUSCULAR SYSTEM of every weary, thin or thin blood ed person does its work with con stant difficultyand fatigue. They feel "worn," or tired out, "run-down" or nervous. Feeble people who are dyspep tic, find that ex ercise after a meal is sure to cause lessened power to digest food be cause there is so little blood, and what there is, is carried off from the gastric organs to the muscles. What is needed is plenty of blood, and that of the riebt kind. Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery makes pure, rich blood, and to gain in blood is nearly always to gain in wholesome flesh up to the healthy standard. Every one should have a certain surplus of flesh to meet the emergencies of sick ness ; to resist the attack of consumption, grip, malaria and fevers. Thin blooded people are always getting sick, and none of the organs of the body can get along with out the food they require for work, which is, pure blood. To gain and to keep strength and flesh is the secret of health, usefulness and happiness. With new blood and re freshed nerves a confident feeling of return ing health comes also. Nervous manifestations, such as sleep lessnesSj nervous debility and nervous prostration are in nine casesout often "the cry of the starved nerves for food." If you feed the nerves on nure rich blood the nervous symptoms will cease. It is bad practice to put the nerves to sleep with so called celery mixtures, coca compounds or malt extracts : what is needed is a blood maker. The Discovery" is composed of vegetable ingredients which have an es pecial effect upon the stomach, liver, and blood making glands. For the cure of dyspepsia, indigestion, liver comnlaint, weakened vitality, and for puny, pale peo ple, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov ery cannot be equaled. Thousands have testified to its merits.
