ATHENA, AUGUST 10th, 1895.

The Dalles Chronicle a repub-
lican paper, sees fit to criticise the
course Of the. republican secretary
of state. The Chronicle says:
"Mr Kincaid was nominated and
elected upon representations that
he gould correct any of the'abuses
which have crept into the admins
tration of the office for which he
was candidate. He claimed and
was represented by his friends to
be an economist, man Of integrity
and of good judgment. We will
not accuse him Of obtaining money
under false pretenses, but we are
free to criticise his administration.
His first work on entering his office
was to examine the fee law and
ascertain where possible addition
to his income could be made;
among cther Improvements in this
line, as we are informed, he claimed
the right to charge $2 for attaching
the seal Of the state to a state deed,
although the law provides that up
on paytHent Of $1.25 for the land
and the fulfllment Of certain pro-
visions Of the low the purchaser
shall be entitled to a deed; hereto
fore the deed has been delivered
upon fulfilling the conditions, but
now the purchaser must pay Mr..
Kincaid 80 or go without a deed.
Mr.. Kincaid has pronounced HIM
self greater constitutional lawyer
than the encouragement has ig-
nored the latter's advice, employed
other counsel and carried to the SUI
preme court the question as to the
right of the railroad commissioners
to their pay, and the supreme court
rebuked his pretended wisdom and
commanded him to draw warrants
for the salaries as provided by the
legislature. The constitution of
the state provides that the secre-
tary Of state shall receive no emo
luments other than his salary, but
every dollar Of fees earned by the
office we understand, are claimed
by this economist as his own.
"From his own standpoint he is
doing well; he is there for what
there is in it, and there is a whole
lot in it, butthi is his last harvest
from the states domain, and we
suppose he believes that short
crop with big price is better than
o long crop at the constitutional
rate"

She did her part in his youthful training

give his boyhood history as his mother

had Il literary turn Of mind, and after
marrying Mary Clark moved to Canal
Dover and gave up his solder and shears
to assume II ferulo and frown Of school
superintendent. Young Quantrell WAS
we'll educated and was teacher in the
public schools when but l6. After his
fathers death, in 1854. he hsd the west
ern fever and worked, at anything to
sustain life until he began teaching
again ut Fort Wayne, also taking Il
course in natural sciences.
He had formerly taught at Mendoza,
Ills. but became involved in ri intrigue
with - girl, which destroyed his further
usefulness III that district. III 1853 he
was i'll Kansas with cattle dealers from
