First of all, a jar is kind of short-changing them on space. Yeah, they're "just" worms, but if you're going to take them out of the vastness of the world, get a fucking 10 gallon aquarium or something.
Secondly, the other posters are right. Moist soil, but not soaking wet, dead leaves and the like (hate to tell you, but if you don't want the risk of smell, don't keep worms. Their entire purpose is to eat dead and rotting things... and their waste will be in that jar too.)
Don't use sandy soil, use something like you'd find in a flower bed.
Also, used coffee grounds apparently go over well with them. My family had a large enclosure for worms (for fishing) and my grandparents would dump coffee grounds inside and it produced really healthy worms.
