OREGON'S DRYEST TOWN.
a MIsCieDieanOr at SCiO to Become IntoxI-
Gated In Ones Own Home.


ALBANY. Ore, Nov. 5.-A town where it is
unlawful to get drunk even in ones own
home. where he who gets intoxicated may
be put at work upon the streets. or II he
refuses to work. must live on bread and
water. is Scio. a village of 800 people in Linn
county. Ore. This condition is perhaps
unparalleled elsewhere.
Scio d in a dry county. Prohibition
went into effect in Linn county more than
a year ago and the one saloon in Scio closed
it's doors But drunken men were still
seen on the streets Liquor was being
shipped in by express
The town council determined TO put an
end TO the matter and recently passed an
ordinance making II a msdemeanor to
become intoxicated "in any street. house
or place within the corporate limits Of
Scio" Any one convicted Of violating this
ordinance may be punished by a fine Of
from IS to 800 or by imprisonment in the
city Jail from two TO fifty days. or by both
fine and Imprisonment.
a clause Of the ordinance provides for
working prisoners convicted under the
act upon the streets OF the town and 10 10
further provided that IF any prisoner
during the term OF his imprisonment shall
refuse 70 work when so ordered he shall
be secured by ball and chain and given only
bread TO eat and water to drink during the
time he 30 refuses to work"
The ordinance may he unconstitutional,
but iC is law in Sco and Is enforced TO the
letter. Several men have been fined and
every fine has been paid. No one has yet
risled living on bread and water or work
ing on the streets with ball and chain.
The ordinance has apparently accom-
plished its purpose. for when residents OF
Scio desire TO get intoxicated now they go
to other towns.

BRYAN'S POPULARITY.

United States Senator Stone of
Missouri, in speaking Of the
popularity Of William Jennings
Bryan with the rank and file Of
the Democratic party in his state,
says:
eff all the Democratic leaders
in Missouri should get together
and agree to send a delegation
against Bryan to the convention
and Bryan should let it be known
in a letter to some ono nobody
ever heard of before, that he
wanted the nomination, the
Democrats would come out of tho
brush and wipe the whole bunch
Of leaders into the Mississippi
River" "
Mr.. Bryan is no more popular
in Missouri than in many other
states, especially Of the South,
He is today, as he has been for
the pest ten or twelve years, the
most popular Democrat in, the
United States, and that he will
again be the nominee for Presi"
dent there seems TO bo no doubt
at this time. There ia practically
no sentiment for any other mem
