Gates were elected to vacancies in the executive committee.
 Today's changes in the company are accepted as evidence that the Rocke- fellerGOu interests are in complete control.
 In his letter of resignation Mir Os- good stated that he was led to take this step "in view Of the fact that large interests in the stock and securities of the company have been acquired by those who should have a greater re- sponsibility from this time in directing the policy and managing the finances of the company, that he was in full ac- cord with such interests and that he expected to continue 10 hold an inter- est in the company and do everything he could. to advance its welfare"
 The official statcrentSssued after to- days meeting says that the temporary difficulty of the company in failing to meet it's obligations on the 18th instant
 was thoroughly investigated by the di- rectors and adopted resolutions exon erating the officers and clerks from all blame, as the failure was clearly due , to a misunderstanding between the New York and Denver offices" Mir. Osgood's retirement from the di- rectory and executive committee is only temporary, according to the official statement. and Is occasioned by the absence in Europe of three directors and the necessity of MT. Osgood' s l presence in the west. The other Color
 ado directors retired ito make places for representatives of the new financial ! interests"
 Chairman McClement announced that
 he would make no change in the policy of the company. The statement con cludes as follows:
 MT. Gould and MT. Osgood stated | that there is not new, nor has there
 ever been. friction whatever between them or the interests with which they are identified"

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY, capital stock $5O,OOO.OO (5,OO0 shares par value $1OOO per share), is being or ganized to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed, but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men (from whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1,250 shares at s12.5O per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such a property would be fioated on a million dollar capitaliza- tion. Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commits sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock will be used in purchasing a mill, con- centration and cyanide plant, so that the mine will immediately become a producer and dividend payer. It is in fact, ground floor" opportunity.
 Tn 1900 I demonstrated that the old CO!re Grande Co. cn a capitalization of half a million, could earn net profits of $1,500.00 per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines Co. will eX- ceed 90 per cent of the capitalization.

GOVERNMENT WITHDREW
Various Reasons Why the Venezuelan
 Rebels Were not Attacked.

Port of Spain. Island of Trinidad, June 24.-The Venezuelan government realizing the danger of attacking Cen eral Rolando, the revolutionary com mander at Ciudad Bolivar, which is well fortified and far from the govern ment's base of supplies and knowing also that the revolutionists have placed torpedoes in the Orinoco river, is talk ing every prCcaution possible.
 The rainy season and the accom- panying fever epidemic are also against the government forces. British officers who have just reached here from Ciu- dad Bolivar say they believe that if there is no dissensicn among the revol- utionist chiefs as was the case of the
 blowers of General Mates the Ven
 zuelan government troops may be re- ,ulsed if they attack Ciudad Bolivar.

OVER THE FENCE Neighbor Says Something.

The front yard fence is a famous council place on pleasant days. Maybe to chat with some one along the street or for friendly gossip with next door neighbor. Sometimes it is only small talk but other times neighbor has something really good to offer. An old resident of Baird, Texas. got some mighty good advice this way once Drinking coffee had left me nearly dead with dyspepsia, kidney disease and bowel trouble with constant pains in my stomach and back and side and so weak I could scarcely walk" he says.
 "One day l was chatting with one of my neighbors about my trouble and told her I believed coffee hurt me. Neighbor said she knew lots of people to whom coffee was a poison and she pleaded with me to quit it and give Postum q trial. l did not take her ad vice right away but tried a change of climate but it did not do me any good and then I dropped coffee and took Postum.
 My improvement began immediately and I got better every day used Pos tum.
 My bowels became regular and in two weeks all my pains were gone; now I am we'll and strong and can eat anything l want to without distress. All of this is due to my having quit coffee and used Postum regularly. My son who was troubled with in digestion thought that if Postum help ed me so it might help him. It did too and he is now well and strong again. We like the Postum as well as we ever liked the coffee and use it altogether in my family in place of coffee and all keep we'll" Name given by Postum Co, Battle Creek, Mich.
