BRYAN'S OLD HOME. The Prosperity That Has Come to It and to Elxn. Chicago Inter-Ocean. William Jennings Bryan has not visited Salem, 111., his birthplace, for nearly a year. If he should go there now doubt less he would be surprised, and not alto gether pleased. Four years ago Salem was an excellent object-lesson of Bryan's hard-times argu ment. Its streets were rough country roads, its wooden sidewalks were In bad repair, its houses needed paint it had neither street lights nor telephones. Near ly every man In Salem believed that his own and the country's material salvation depended on the success of Bryan and 16 to L When Bryan went to Salem for the first ratification of his nomination the town hailed him with brass bands as a hero and a deliverer. But In four years McKlnley prosperity has reached Salem. Its principal street has been transformed from a ragged country road Into a city boulevard, paved with vltrllled brick- ano Dordered with trim lawns. Two miles of cement side walk have replaced the treacherous old wooden planking, and contracts have been let for three miles more. The town has spent J17.000 on paving In the last iyear, and the people have spent prob ably twice as much in improving their homes. The -streets through which Bryan's bodyguard of reporters stumbled In dark ness four years dgo are lighted by elec tricity. The new telepnone exchange Is busy and prosperous The local bank's deposits, are 10,000 greater than In 1KM5. Salem's visible cash resources have in creased 30 per cent unaer the cross of gold, and Its appearance? has Improved about 2000 per cent Bryan's name Is no longer one to con jure with in Marlon County. One. of hl3 cousins is the progressive Mayor of Sa lem, but another has Just refused a re nominatlonfor State's Attorney by the Democrats. Salem's leading woolbuyer, once an ardent Bryanlte, says, "Free sil ver was a mistake," and pays 18 cents for wool that he got for 11 In 1SS6. The Salem Democrats who tvere dividing loaves and fishes In August, 1895, now wonder mUdly what will become of "Billy", when he is. beaten again. Ed Bryan,, another cousin, has visited the oracle at Lincoln, but is. unable to "dispel Salem's doubts. When Bryan was femontnated. Salem was perfectly calm. Congressman Ro denberg stood tho other day where Bryan stood In IS96, rehearsed Bryan's forebodings, and asked Salem how many of them had come true. The answering shout was, "None!" Mr. "Bryan has Informed the public that when he was first nominated -all he had was his Lincoln home and about '?100 in cash. .

Surely this is prosperity that comes home. T-tvo Funerals. The funeral of James McGrew, pioneer of 1852. took place yesterday forenoon from Dunnlng's undertaking rooms. East Sixth, and was attended by many old residents. Rev. Mr. Elworthy, of Sunny side, conducted a brief service. At tho close of the service the remains were conveyed to Lone Ffr cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. Fremont Wood worth, who committed suicide at her homo on Monroe street Alblna, was held yesterday afternoon. At 1 o'clock a ser vice was conducted at tho Central M. E. Church, after which tho remains wero conveyed to the Odd Fellows' cemetery. CHEAP RATES EAST Via Oregon Short Line R. R. For full Information, call at City Ticket Office, 143 Third street Portland.
