THE EVOLUTION OF
 READY-MADE CLOTHING.

Many of us can remember the time when ready-made clothing, shoes, shirts, gloves, etc., were summed like social outcasts, and practically every mans ward robe was made to order. That was before the advent of mod ern methods.
 Now all is changed. While here and there in some lines still exist reminders of the old order of things, for the most part ready-made apparel is today far removed from the clothing of former days.
 We are living now in a scien- tifc age and no branch of indus try has received greater impetus in this direction than the making of mems clothes. Alfred Ben jamin & Co.,, of New York were pioneers in this evolution and still remain the leading makers of mems high-grade ready-for- service apparel in America, which is equivalent to saying in the world.
 The Star Clothing House, Jos. M. Berger, Jr., manager, is the exclusive agent in Newport for Alfred Benjamin & Co.'s "cor- rect clothes for men.'l

MART VOWELL PAID
 THE DEATH PENALTY
Hanged at Paragould for Mar. der of Vim. Lovejoy in Clay County Last August1
 Died Game. Z

Paragould, June 9.-Nrt Vow ell was hanged at $40 this after noon for the murder of Wm. F. Lovejoy in Clay county, August II last. No hitch occurred in the plans connected with the execu- tion, not the slightest trouble be- ing encountered.
 The hanging was witnessed by a large number of persons. Sher- ifs Hammett, Cross county; Pat terson, Woodruff county; Burk, Craighead county; Bradsher, Poinsett county, and Brooks of Dunklin county, Mo-, were among the witnesses.
 Vowell arose and dressed early this morning and appeared re- signed to his fate. Some of his relatives and friends hoped to the last that Gov. Davis would at least give the condemned man a respite. When no favorable word came from Little Rock as the day progressed, all hope was abandoned. The execution was stayed until almost the last hour permissible.
 Vowell remained cool to the end, and died game. It was $40 when the drop occurred. Death ensued in eighteen min- utes.
 Religious services were con- ducted at the scaffold before the hanging, and Vovzell professed belief in Christianity.
 Mart Vowell was born in Ten nessee April 16, 1914. He en- listed in the Confederate army when he was 19 years old and served until the close of the war. He was a member of the Twenty first cavalry, Wilson's regiment, Bells brigade, Forests com mand. He participated in the Price Crossroads battle, and dur ing the this fight suffered se- were sunstroke. He was mem Der of the Methodist church for many years. He was a member of Macedonia lodge No. 241, 1. o. o. F., and of Macedona lodge No. 557, F. 6 A. M.

GETTING READY
 FOR CONVENTION.
Delegates Already Securing Quar- ters for the Big Democratic
 State Weeting to be Held
 / Next Tuesday. '

Nodrly all the .SucCeSSIul SCaUe candidates have secured head quarters in Hot Springs on the occasion of the Democratic state conyention, which opens in that city at noon next Tuesday, says the Little Rock Gazette.
 The candidates who won in the primaries on March 26 will go to Hot Springs and each will have rooms in one of the hotels, where they will meet the delegates. There will be no contest before the convention on any of the nominations for state officers to whom majorities or pluralities were given in the primaries will be declared the nominees.
 The formality of making ex- tended nominating speeches will probably be dispensed with, ex- cept in the case of the governor ship. Col. Marcellus M. Davis of Dardanelle will present the name of Governor Jeff Davis for renomination. He is a polished speaker and his friends predict an oratorical treat from him.
 The plans contemplate that the convention will hold sessions Tuesday and Wednesday, as on Tuesday night the delegates and other visitors will be the guests of the citizens of Hot Springs at a grand ball to be given at the Arlington hotel
 Many of the attendants at the convention will go to Hot Springs Monday, and the day before the assembling promises to be inter- esting. It will likely yield de- VelOpmentS touching the prODa- ble action of the convention.
 There will be contesting dele gatians from half a dozen coun- ties at the convention on next Tuesday and the disposition of the contests will be accompanied, it is expected, by test of strength on the question of con- trol of the convention, unless the contests be amicably settled be- fore the convention opens.
 With Senators Clarke and Berry both delegates from their respective counties, the delibera- tions are expected to be of more than ordinary interest.

Discouraging Wheat Prospect.

The present condition of the
winter wheat is very discOurag-
ing. An average of 76.5 is so far
below the figures of last year,
which were 97.3, and unless the
spring growth makes up some OF
the deficiency the crop of 1904
! is sure to be long distance be-
hind the average of the past ten
years. In 1902 the Agricultural
department figured the total yield
in the United States at 670,OOO,-
900 bushels in round numbers,
but that also was a bad crop
year, while in 1903 the crop was
very large. Yet the highest price
per bushel realized in the Chicago
market was 50 cents in 1902, and
fell only two cents below that fig
ure in 1903. May wheat lowered
around SO cents at Chicago Mon
day, but the receipts are falling
off and the amount of shipments
to foreign ports is increasing.
Putting all these signs of the
times together it seems likely that
another era Of dollar wheat IS IN
the near future. The demands OF
Europe are not slackening, and
the war in the Far East will swell
the call for the American staple.
The farmers bid fair to have a
summer and fall of prosperity on
the revenue from the wheat, and
it is known that the crop OF last
year is not yet entirely out of the
barns. The holders of the present
supply cannot be accused OF bull
ing the market at this moment.
Their opportunity is to come
when the season has advanced sui
fciently to show whether or not
the gloomy prospect of April will
be borne out by subsequent devel-
opments:

Brain Food Nonsense.

Another ridiculous food fad has
been branded by the most compe-
tent authorities. They have dis
PEELED the silly notion that one
kind of food is needed for brain
another for muscle, and still an
other for bones. A correct diet
will not only nourish a particular
part of the body, but will sustain
every other part. Yet, however,
good ysur food may be, its nutri-
ment. is destroyed by indigestion
or dyspepsia. You must prepare
for their appearance or prevent
their coming by taking regular
doses of Green's August Flower,
the favorite medicine of the
healthy millions. A few doses aids
digestion, stimulates the liver to
healthy action, purifies the blood
and makes you feel buoyant and
vigorous. You can get DIR.
