Washington, Aug. 24.-The progress:
of the complications between Nene'
zuela and Colombia, continues to at
tract the attention of the authoritie:
here, who occupy the position of dis
interested observers of an affair in
which the United States has no direct
concern, except in properly safe
guarding American interests. The
event of an actual conflict between
Venezuela and Colombia there is fell
to be no occasion for action on the
part Of this government, except in
pursuing the usual course of looking
after the property interest of oui
citizens in that quarter. The state
department has no. official advicei
from either country.

CUTS DOWN SURPLUS.
Government officials Are Much Re-
Iieved by the Workings of
Amended War Tax Law.

Washington, Aug. 26.-Government
officials are gratified at the decrease
in internal revenue receipts. The
enormous surplus accommodating in
the treasury vaults caused the eX-
perts to apprehend stringency in bust
ness circles unless a remedy was ap-
piled. The amendment of the war
revenue tax at the last session Of
congress was supposed to be sufficient
to prevent a surplus, and while the
returns for the first month under the
amended law showed no relief the
books of the department now disclose
a decided falling off during the month
of August.

STORMS WILD WORK SUPPORT CUMMINS.
H. 81. Abrams Head of Anti
Saloon League Speaks.

Special to HERALD
Des Moines, Aug. 26.-H. HI.
Abrams, superintendent of the Iowa
Anti-Ssloon league, which holds the
snnual meeting in Des Moines today
and tomorrow, announced this morn
ing that he would support A. B.
Cummins for governor.
ST do not see how any temperate
man can do anything else than sup
port Uummins, !" he paid in an inter.
view upon the subject, ''since the
democrats have put in a plank de-
manding the repeal of the mulct law
and the adoption of high license
law
Mr.. Abrams believes that large
number of prohibitionists will vote
with the republicans this year solely
on this issue. He cites the fact that
Judge Z. r. Akers, of DEBORAH, form
erly one of the leading democrats in
northeastern Iowa, recently identi-
fed with the anti-ssloon work, has
denounced the democratic platform
and is ont working for Cummins.
Mr.. Abrams position only reflects
that held by hundreds of other
temperance advocates in the country
whether in the past affiliated with
the republican, prohibition or demo-
cratic parties. He does not believe
that the talked of attempts of pro-
hibitionists against Cummins will
materialize, and is of the opinion
that the meni who are behind such
schemes are either ignorant of the
true situation or are really in SYM
patty with the saloons. In most
instances, he thinks them misguided.

Wind and Flood Do Great Damage
in Eastern States.

New York, Aug. 26.--The country
from above Tarrytown tothe center of
New Jersey and from eastern Con-
necticut to Mauch Chunk, Pa, was del
uged with a cloudburst whipped with
high winds and cut end torn with rush
ing rivers and catarPcts of water from
leaden clouds which obscured the
whole sky.
The rain fell in torrents, with only
two brief intervals when the clouds
seemed to pause to refresh themselves.
Every street car and railroad line in
this whole district was hampered, and
in.some places trafFc was entirely sus-
pended for the night.
Thousands of dollars of damage was
done TO property. Trees and buildings
in Jersey City and Hoboken were
blown down. Houses were undermined
by water, and only remarkable good
fortune prevented great loss of life.
shipping Damaged.
New York city escaped the worst OF
the storm. Across on the Jersey shore
the high wind swept down the bay,
snatching all the vessels except the big
ocean liners from their mornings.
In Jersey City the steeple of st.
Mary's Roman Catholic church crashed
through the roof of the building. The
Bijou theater was partly wrecked and
panic was caused by the report that
several lions Gagged there had escaped.
Two other churches and the Union
League club suffered damage.
Hoboken felt the full force of the
windstorm. The Hotel Washington
was unroofed and the Hamburg-Amer-
lean engine house chimney blown
down. Fifty or more huge trees in
the parks were uprooted.
Near Union Hill, under the palisades,
house was demolished by the cat
aract and the family narrowly escaped
with their lives.

Philadelphia, Aug. 26.-Reports re-
ceived in this city state that the heavy
rains which have fallen almost inces-
sanity during the last week through
out the state have resulted in the most
disastrous flood experienced in many
years. At Mauch Chunk the storm was
attended by four fatalities. Jesse
Struthers, of Mauch Chunk, and three
boys, named McClaffery, Mckinley and
johnson, were standing on a bridge
spanning Mauch Chunk creek when the
supports collapsed and the four were
precipitated into the water and
drowned. The stream had become a
raging torrent by the bursting of a
dam half mile above the borough

FRUITS AND BERRIES,
Cherries Gone and Small Fruits
Coming In.

Snake river fruits are now in market
The strawberries are gone and are re-
placed by black-cap and red raspberries
The cherry crop was short this year
not more than a quarter to half of the
usual yield-and it has disappeared.
California peaches have been shipped
in for couple Of weeks at prohibitive
prices, but must now give way to the
ripening Snake river orchards.
j. K. Lee, one of the most extensive
orchardists along the river, is authority
for the statement that the peach crop is
great one. Penawawa sent in for the
Fourth Of July shipments of the best
peaches ever grown or sent to the COlfax
market. These were the earliest. By
July shipments will be started to out
side points. The growers have list of
10 buyers in the Occur d'Alene mines to
whom they will regularly ship. They
dodge as far as possible all com mission
houses, though some of their products
find way there.
A short crop of cherries sold all the
way from % to 70 cents a box, accord
ing to quality and packing The de-
mand was far above the supply.
The peach crop, like the wheat, is ex-
pected to be more or less of a bumper,
but will not be extraordinarily cheap.
GOOseberries and currants, native
grown, are on the market.

In SAGE BRUSH AND SAND.
Happy Homes and Happy People
Transforming 1t.

Frank McClintock was a week -day
visitor from the La Crosse country. He
gives glowing account of the country
off to the west, which, before settlement
and cultivation, was considered worth
less except for jack rabbit homes and
sage brush.
He tells, though, that in the Sutton
fat and sand-hill country 80 miles west
of Washtucna, and 80 miles from Col
fax, the frost in the first week of June
destroyed thousands of acres of prOmis-
ing wheat.
As far east as Washtucna the crops
are fair, and on this side more than fair.
The acreage in western Whitman is so
per cent above that of last year.
In the neighbOrhOod of Washtucna
10000 acres of wild land has been
broken to be sown to wheat this fall.
Mr. McClintock sees a great future for
the Washtucna country. Commercial
travellers say there is more business
there for the capital invested than at
any other point in the United States.
Speaking of the development of west
ern Whitman and the opportunities. Mr..
McClintOck says:
about La Crasse, where people not
many years ago considered it barren
and unfit for the habitatiOns of white
men, the country is becoming thickly
settled.
"As a couple of instances | will cite
you to cases coming under my own OBJ
servation, withholding names: A day
laborer in Illinois few years ago
bought half section of despised western
Whitman land for IS cents an acre.
That land is now growing at least 30
hushel crop, and the day laborer has
been transformed into an independent
gentleman.
Another Illinois friend of mine went
bankrupt and came west a few years
ago. He wisely invested in lands down
in our country. Recently he returned
to Illinois and paid every dollar he
owed and still has plenty left.
Settlement and cultivation OF the
semi-arid lands have worked wonders.
The country is fast filling up with de-
sirable class of people,"
