SENATOR JEFF DAVIS
DIES SUDDENLY
Suffered Stroke Of ApopIexy Early
This Morning at His Home
In Little Rock.
[By Associated Press. ]

Little Rock, Ark, Jan. 3.-United
States Senator JEFF Davis died sud-
denly at his home here at 1890
o'clock this morning as the result of
an attack of apoplexy.
Besides being picturesque charac-
ter in Washington during his one
term in the senate, which began in
1907, United States Senator JEFF Davis
had the distinction of being the only
man elected to the governorship of
Arkansas three times. Previous to his
seven years incumbency of the gov
ernorship Of his state Mr.. Davis had
been prosecuting attorney for the
Fifth Arkansas judicial district and in
1898 was elected attorney general Of
the state.
Mr.. Davis was born in Little River
county, Arkansas, in 1862, and re-
ceived his education at Russellville,
Ark, and at Vanderbilt University,
graduating from the latter institution
in 1884. He was admitted to the bar
the same year and soon after began
to practice.
Senator Davis term would have ex-
pired March of this year. At the
democratic state primary last Septem-
Der he defeated Congressman Stephen
Brundidge for nomination as senator
AS the legislature is overwhelmingly
democratic he would have been re-
elected as soon as the legislature con-
vened.
Governor 'Donaghey at an early
hour this morning said he thought it
inappropriate to discuss the matter of
the appointment of Senator Davis
successor.

Big PLAY IS ON
next SATURDAY
THE ALPHA MU SOCIETY OF THE
A. C. WILL GIVE A PLAY COACH
ED BY MISS YORK, NEXT SAT-
URDAY EVENING-soME FEAT.
URES OF THE PLAY.

Next Saturday evening in the A. C.
armory the Alpha MI fraternity will
present the three-act English comedy,
All Peggy. The title role
of Peggy Is taken in a very able man
ner by Miss GeneVieve Grover, who
has had considerable previous expert
enCe in the line. The part of Jimmy
-Aeppel, who is supposed to distract
Peggy's attention from his brother
Anthony. but who does really fall in
love with her, is played by Homer
Dixon, who is a well known Fargo
boy. .
Anthony, Jimmy's elder brother, a
pettifoggying professor who falls a
victim to the wiles of Mrs. O'Mara, Is
stnted in a very humorous man
ner by Chester Holkesvig, whose past
record in amateur work is we'll known.
Mrs. O'Mara, Peggy's mother n a
typical Care-free native Of the "ould
sod, is humorously portrayed by Miss
Eugenia Ruff, who took lessons in
Chicago from Mrs. Lulu Tyler Gates.
Lady Crackerthorpe, whose intense
dislike of Mrs. O'Mara, causes many
funny situations, is we'll taken by
Miss Laura Taylor, who played a sim
liar role in the play First Come, First
Served, and made a decided hit.
Major Archie Phipps, who is always
getting IN wrong by doing Things for
the good O. the family, is a typical
English major and the role is taken
by a real Englishman in the person of
Reginald Colley. Millicent, Lady Crack
e%nthorpe's daughter, who is ever ready
to help her two brothers, is we'll taken
by Miss RiZpah Ladd.
Mrs. Colquhoun, a lady of fashion
and somewhat of a gossip, is we'll por-
trayed by Miss Margaret Keene.
Jack Menzies, the bosom friend of
Jimmy, and anxious to get him a good
job, is represented by Glen Livengood,
who appeared last veal in Mr.. Bob,
given by the Western School of Elk
preston.
The parts of Lucas and Parker, the
TWO buffers, are we'll handled by Bert
German and Clarence Williams.
Ira Nelson, the advertising manag-
er, has designed some attractive post
ers and is now busy framing some
pictures of various Ger to be shown
in windows down town.
Reserved seats are now on sale at
Fout & Porterfeld's, also at the A. c..
Book store, and as this is a royalty
play every effort is being used to
make it a success.
