PIERRE. S. D., April 29.-(Special.)-
The alleged interview with the Hon. 8.
E. Young, formerly speaker of the South
Dakota house of representatives, de-
nouncing Gov. Lees letter to the presi-
dent. which has been largely circulated
throughout the Northwest by Republican
newspapers, turns out to have been
fake In letter to Gov. Lee under date
Of April "a Mr.. Young says:
Returning from the mines to Rapid
City today. am surprised to find 1 have
been interviewed by local paper. and
that my alleged utterances concerning
your letter to the president have been
generally copied / have not said a word
for publication. and have made no criti-
cisms as stated.
Mr. Young then says that he wrote the
Assistant Secretary of War Meklejohn
stating that the term of the First South
Dakota regiment had expired and that
in all fairness and justice the men should
be mustered out. and protesting against
their retention for an indefinite, uncer-
tain and unauthorized term Of service.
MIR. Young says that he is disposed to
support the presidents policy in the Phil
ippines. but concludes that while he does
rot agree with all Of the governors views,
he knows that 3.tbey are inspired by
patriotic motives"

what do you think of a woman who
voluntarily offered herself to the govern
ment as the public eXecutioner?" asked a
writer in the New York Herald.
A few years ago the official public eX-
ecutioner at Brussels died and q SUD-
stitute was temporarily appointed. On
one occasion this person was ill and un-
able to attend. But at the appointed
hour a stout middle-aged woman pre-
sented herself at the central police sta
ton and quietly remarked to the assem-
bled functfonaries:
1--WE come for the execution. Ny hus-
band is not very well this morning and
has asked me to take his place. Please
let us get to business"
The general stupefaction may be more
easily imagined than described, which be-
ing noticed by the would-be lady execu-
tioner she added In a reasSurlng tone:
ooh, this is not by any means the first
time
1t afterward transpired that the wom-
an, whose name was Marie Rege, had
officiated on several occasions in lieu Of
her husband. Dressed up in his clothes
and her face masked. she had been the
public executioner, and never had the
proceeding been interrupted by a single
hitch. 1t is needless to add that the
police authorities were unable to avail
themselves of her offer on this occasion
however.
1t will be a surprise to most people to
learn that there has actually been a
woman eXecutioner In this country In
olden times few cared to undertake the
office of executioner, and occasionally
death sentences were resDired on condi-
ton that the criminal should perform this

for many years. She off1ciated on the

CINCINNATI, April 2S.-To be so years
of age and a Kentuckian and never to
have tasted liquor Of any kind is a rec
ord few men can boast of. Yet there is
in the city of Maysville, in the Blue
Grass state, a hale hearty old gentleman
by the name of Charles Phister, who SOL
emnly AYERS that his lips have never
touched intoxicants of any known still
or brew. and that even hard cider has
never made acquaintance with his stom-
ach or disturbed the peaceful regularity
of sober and well-regulated brain.
Further than this, Mr.. Phister has
never used tobacco in any of it's forms.
though it is one Of the staples of his
state; he has also resisted the alluring in
fiuences of ''old sledge," and does not
know one card from another: he has
never spoken a cross word to his wife,
although he has been married fifty-three
years; he has never used an oath. though
sorely crossed at times, as all mortals
have been; he never owned a negro in
the darkest Of slavery days; he was never
sick and never suffered a severe pain
He never took a dose of medicine, of
course, as there has never been any ne
cessity for its use. He never missed a
day at Sunday school, rain, shine. blow or
blizzard. He celebrated his eightieth
birthday on March Is. He has never used
glasses and reads his hymn-book and his
Bible with his own unaided and still
sharp blue eyes. Considering this rec
ord. it is not remarkable that he is known
as 1.-The best man in Knetucky.''
Charles Phister was born in the town
Of Maysville, on the banks of the muddy
Ohio in a house built by his pioneer
father in those far-away days when
Kentucky had just emerged from her des-
olation in the wilderness of the North

All the other Western roads have
practically agreed to the changes in the
old agreement. which has been modified
in several important particulars, among
which is that there Is no agreement not
to cut rates, and when rate-cutting is
inaugurated by any road 1t shall do SO
openly and with advice to that effect,
to all other roads. and to the public. II
any road is guilty Of a breach of this
rule, and is found making a secret cut
or paying commissions. the other roads
agree to use their unitel efforts to sup
press the action. and bring the offending
road to time.
There is to be radical change in
the powers of the chairman, who will
no longer be permitted to impose arbi-
trary fines. All punitive measures are
TO be left to a vote Of the association.
The executive committee has been re-
duced to a committee Of recommends
ton. and must have the approval of
the association in the exercise of all
Its powers.
The association agrees to abide abso-
lutely by the rules and laws of the in
terstate commerce commission. If the
reorganization scheme becomes OPERA
two the Chicago-St. Paul agreement
will have outlived Its usefulness. how
ever, an effort will be made to arrange
sererate agreements for roads between
Chicago and large commercial centers
such as st. Paul. Minneapolis. Kansas
