AN ASTONISHING ?JAIL
A WEST VIRGINIA TOWN MADE! A
DRFAM OF LAW AND ORDER.
THIRTY-THREE-BARREL OIL TANK.
In It Wn? Thrnat n Howling-, Sqnlrm.
1ns; Mm? of Humanity? On the Ont
?Ide Were Leg-end? in Herolc
Slsed Letter?.
(Correspondence of the Dispatch.)
WAYi:kLY, W. VA., November 27.?We
claim in this town to be the only com?
munity in the world that has succeeded tr?,
securing and maintaining order with no
more formidable means of punishing law?
breakers than locking them In a big Iron
tank. We recommend the tank id?a to
the mayors and police authorities of
every town In the United Statea where
the ordinary methods of keeping the
peace have failed. It easily beats stone
Jails, reformatories, Iron bars, silent cells,
wooden clubs, and six-shooters and dou
blo discounts the terrors of the Spanish
inquisition.
Wo are very proud of our Iron tank, for
It la our town Jail, and no Jail Is more
respected and feared by evil doers. We
don't hold out as a threat over our local
disturbers of the peace that if they don't
behave they will be "put In the cooler."
That expression conveys no adequate Idea
of the awful fate In store for the man
who breaks the law. Wo tell him we
will 'put him In the tank,' 'and If he be
not mentally and physically Incapacitated
he usualiy lights out for distan?; parts
beforo the threat can be carried out, or
rives bonela for his good behavior In the
future. Tho story of how we acquired our
treasure of a Jail Is well worth telling.
Waverly, XV. Va., is an oil town on
the banks of the Ohio river, and was
chiefly famous before the advent of oil
for Its native snake-hunters and snuff
rubbers. Snuff-rubblng Is a fine art, but
Its merits have not been appreciated by
the new blood from the upper oil-fields.
They love whiskey better. Water has
not been a beverage in Waverly for more
than two years, and seven fights a day
was once tho average.
But all Is now changed. The snake
lunter no longer spins his boastful yarn,
?vhlle the accomplished snuff-rubber goes
ils guileless way without a word pro?
vocative of war with the hated "oilers."
?The "toolles" and drillers, Jumpers, and
?ums have ceased to become boisterous
?7ith alcohol and quiet now reigns In the
Ittle town.
All this change has occurred since the
.rrlval of a thirty-three barrel Iron tank.
One nicht tho town was fierce with
Ights. The town was "full," but not
11 who were full of whiskey were full of
ght. The Jolly drunks who loved liquor
ut not rowdyism espied the tank. It
uggested an idea which was immediately
cted upon. The fighters were corralled,
nd filled to overflowing with the town
everage. It may be added that no force
'as necessary.
The Iron tank was then rolled out Into
le public square, and all was ready. A
llghty chorus of "Rut them in the
ink!" rang out on the night air. The
Liarrelsome drunks were seized and hus
ed tb the tank, where the work of
misting them through the man-hole was
ion completed. The howling, squirming
ass of humanity within was deprived
! any way of es ape. A beer-kag was
ocured and fastened so as to bar the
?trance, while a yell of satisfaction went
? fr?im the crowd.
A local artist then came with paint

Currency Reform a? an. Issue.
?o th? Editor of the Dispatch:
You are right In saying that curr*imcrj
eforra will t>e the moet importan, me**
ure that will engage the attention of th?
nsuing Congress. Our people are almos!
opelossly divided a? to the proper and
?tit currency, and yet It seems to m?
hat a llttlo careful thought must cou
iuco ajiy one that rt ouiiht to be a slm
lu matter for a great people, as we are,
? have ?i currency fully ample for ail
is iitveds of all business without confining
to tiny metal, or any '*mt*talllo baso."
I suppose no one will deny that "money
i mad? by law." No gold or silver or
ip?*r is money except by "flat" of "law."
o tha't all money Is "flat money." 1

tall pass a law that the Secretary Of
IS Treasury shall Issue two billions? of
?liars, legal-tender paper dollars, and
tall mak?- Hi?m tho only legal-tender
oney of the United States, that they
ill be better, and more desirable for all
i? uses of currency than gold or silver.
If this is true, Congress, which ropr?.
ntfl all th? peopl?, should make a ?ufli
ant supply of this best currency for all
n??da of business, out of tho rrkaterlaj
st sulleil for currency, and tile lea t
pt-nsivo to the government. lx*?'a.uiie tiie
vi-rnment Is the peo?,i,-, ond th.? people
,ve to pav for tho currency In some way
oiln-r. The currency Is. or should be,

ople, and If then? is any profit to be
sui? by using currency, all th? people

Hon of any kind.
I'he present banking law Is most opprcs
*tj to large parts of our country, and
II not b<? allowed to remain lose. It Is
t riftrt to allow tho money power to
v bow much money or currency the
ople shall have, or to limit the quantity
currency. The government itself ought
t todo this, but should make the supply
equate for the purp?3???ss of buslne???-Jn
parts of the <*ountry. and h.avitig made
ad.?qiiate supply, it should make equl
?le dlstnbuthm. so that all parts of the
