Progress of the Referendum.

The referendum has been making
more progress in the United States
than is generally known. At the
state election in Oregon last June a
constitutional amendment was passed
by two-thirds vote, providing for the
initiative. When over per cent of
the Oregon voters petition for gov
ernmeut law it must be submitted to
a popular vote, and majority passes
it.
A law ppssed by the legislature
must be submitted to a popular vote
whenever fire per cent of the voters
of the state petition for it, and ma
jority votes the law. The veto of the
governor of Oregon does not ex-
tend to measures thus submitted to
the people. South Dakota has SIM
liar law. In Iowa rs property owners
in city may command the mayor to
submit to Ia popular vote any pro-
posed grant of public franchise.-St.

tiumiIates His Divorced Vile.

1t is reported that Cal Husselman,
the Auburn farmer and lecturer at
farmers institutes. did not long re-
main a widower after his wife pro-
cured divorce. He was married i'm
mediately after the divorce was grant
ed and rented farm for five years
Just north of his former home on the
Auburn road. He also purchased. a
span of coach-horses for $3.50, and is
evidently preparing to step at fast
gait. Concerning Mr.. Husselmun the
editor of the Auburn Courier says:
"When a person takes downward
step it is so easy to 60 still lower.
The unfortunate and criminal course
entered on several years ago by Cal
Hnsselman-at the time he stood so
well in public opiniOn-is marked
example. And when at last worthy
woman-hiS wife-unable longer to
endure. in silence the wrongs he was
heaping on her, took refuge in the
courts as her only course and severed
all connections with him, he seems to
have resented it and determined on a
course to add still more to the bitter
ness of the cup he had forced on her.
We are told he married the woman
over whom the last trouble was had
and will settle on farm adjoining
his old home-the home of his deeply
wronged wife. This can only be done
from a desire to humiliate her farther
and as far as possible add to her cup
of bitterness. AS he has done all in
the wrong, and she suffered all for the
right, it is not easy to understand
why he has taken this course. The
world is wide and man of his ability
could have made better stand some
where else"
HusSelman is we'll known among the
farmers of Marshall and adjoining
counties as man of ability. Ere
quently during sessions of the farm
ers' institute he has delivered lectures
here. But it seems his raScality has
lately been developed to an abnormal
degree. Sucn men richly deserve the
cesnure of the community in which
they reside and, from the tone of the
Courier, he is getting it.

Roads Made of Straw.

The farmers of Walla Walla coun-
ty, WASH, are laying their roads with
straw. Every fall the highways be-
come deep with dust, making travel
ing hard. HEAVY rains meant mud,
and the dust could not be removed
without destroying the roadway. 1t
then occurred TO an enterpriSlng in
dividual that if all of the farmers
would coptribute straw and all hands
assist in laying it on the roads most
travelled, there would be great
change for the better. The expert
ment was a decided success. The
farmers turned out in force, plenty of
straw was offered, ready hands laid it
to the depth of foot or more ON the
main thOroughfares of the county and
travelling became easy. Three hun
dred miles of road will be covered with

Corinth, Miss, Sept 29.--Writhing
in the flames of burning fagots, piled
high by hundreds of citizens, Ton
Clark, alias Will Gibson, young ne.
gro, was burned at the stake here at a
late hour yesterday, after having
confessed to one of the most atrocious
crimes in the history of North Missis
sippi, the assault and murder of Mrs.
Carey Whitfield on Aug. 10 last. Be
fore the torch was applied Clark stated
that he deserved his fearful fate. Last
August Mrs. Whitfield, the wife of a
well-known citizen, was found dead in
her home. Investigation showed that
the woman had been assaulted, ard
her head was practically severed from
her body. razor having been used in
the bloody work. The indignation of
the people knew no bounds.
Betrayed by His Wife.
After a long and fruitless search a
committee of twelve citizens was
named to continue the hunt for the
murderer, and these men have been
very active in their work. On Mon
day last il became known that Tom
Clark. negro living near here, had
had trouble with bis wife, and the lat
ter threatened to disclose the secret of
a crime. Officers apprehended the
woman and she told enough to warrant
the belief that Clark had murdered
Mrs. Whitfield. Clark was arrested
and brought before the committee of
twelve in Corinth. The negro finally
confessed the murder, and also told of
other crimes that he had committed

After hearing the confession the COM
mittee decided that the, negro should
be hanged from a telegraph pole in

death, but asked that the execution be
delayed until yesterday so that he
could have a farewell interview with
his mother and brother who lived in
Memphis. The request was granted.
and the two relatives were telegraphed
for. Meanwhile the news of the ne
gro's arrest and confession spread rap
idly over the surrounding country, and
