WEBSTER BEGINS LIFE
TERM IN JOLIET PRISON

Sterling, H., Jan. 23.-Dr. Harry E.
Webster, who yesterday was sentenc-
ed to life Imprisonment for wife muir
der, was taken to Joliet penitentiary
today.
DR.. Webster's arraignment took
place amid dramatic surroundings
Several thousand men and women from
this and adjoining counties thronged
the plaza in front of the court house
and fought for admittance. Before 90
ing to court DR.. Webster spent three
hours in his cell with his mother and
sisters, who prayed for him. While
his mother and sisters were with him
and later in the court room, where he
listened TO a severe denunciation from
Judge Richard S. Farrand. Webster
was cold, calm, cynical and sneering.
In a talk after his sentence Webster
cynically avowed that he had no re-
morse for the murder of his youns
wife and admitted that he expected to
obtain his release on parole within a
few years.
i have many powerful friends In
Chicago he said, and they will. in
due time, make efforts to have me set
free on parole"
Have you any remorse for having
killed your wife?" he was asked.
No. replied Webster, Il am not of
the remorseful kind"
DO you mean to say that you would
not bring Bessie Kent back to life. il

1 mean to say" answered Webster
that If the same conditions arose that

Concession TO Workers.

Superintendent J. G. Huntoon of
the Tri-City Railway company gave
orders this morning for the issuance
OF transfers on Third and Fourth
avenue cars good over Elm street
cars to the Darling creek bridge. The
cut in the line there has worked
hardships on shopmen who used it
for getting TO and from their work
and many Of them on account of the
change in the line were forced to
pay two fares. Until the bridge is
ready for service the transfers on the
Elm street line will be good to the
ends of the lines.

Illinois Politics

Aurora, Jan. Prank R. Reid of
this city has his petitions out for the
republican nomination for attorney
general. Mr.. Reid was at one time an
assistant in the office Of former United
States District Attorney Sims. His
friends had urged him to run for con-
gress, but later persuaded MIR. Reid to
seek the place now held by William
H. Stead. Mr.. Stead is a candidate
for reelection, as are the other mem
bers Of the state administration, as far
as is known.
Chicago, Jan. 23.-Wflliam E. Ma
son, former United States senator, has
begun an active campaign for the NOM
ination for representative at large
from Illinois. Mr. Mason declares he
was a pioneer in the insurgent move
ment in congress. During the last
mayoralty campaign he supported Pro-
lessor Merriam. In Mr.. Mason's can

seat in the United States senate should

succeed Mr.. Lorimer. The office of

are also an indication Of efficiency.
On a great majority Of the dairy
farms in Oklahoma possibly a greater
efficiency could be produced through
an increased production Of the dairy
herd Data il not at hand giving
the average production per COW Of
milk and butterfat Possibly 5000
pounds Of milk and 20 pounds OF but
terfat would be a fair estimate Of the
average production That this pro-
duction should be doubled through
better breeding, better care, and the

This could easily be done in from two

Perhaps no better illustration Of ths
efficiency OH the high producing COW
is at hand than that of two cows in
the Douglass County Cooperative
Cow Test association in Nebraska.
Here the best COW gave a return Of
$417 for every dollars worth Of feed
consumed. while the poorest gave 9

The possibility Of obtaining greater
profits through greater efficiency in
the dairy herd cannot fail to appeal
to the dairyman who understands the
conditions fundamental to success.
The problems in dairyine are not SO
mysterious or their soIution SO diff
ficult that the average man Of ability
cannot understand them and over
