DEVELOP THE STATE.

The politicians of Virginia are worry
ing themselves considerably over the
financial question and the distribution
of Offices, but there are questions CONCERN
ing the material development of the
State which at this time are OF more i'm
portance than national or purely personal
matters. The highways o. the State are
sadly in need of improvement, and the
question of employing convict labor on
the roads is one that should e thoroughly
discussed, SO that the people may arrive
at just and intelligent conclusion in this
matter.
GOOD roads are necessary not only to
the welfare Of the rural communities, but
when the roadways of a section are kept
in good condition they contribute largely
to the growth of the towns. villages and
cities to which they are tributary, and
thus help along every department of in
dnstry and trade in the localities they
traverse.
With an abundance of material for per.
manen: road improvement and substan-
'ioi oiiuEe puiiulnE, the county roads OF
most parts Of Virginia are for much of
the year in deplorahle condition, and
it should be the aim of our aw-makers
when they next assemble to see that
methods for speedy and durable improve
ments of the highways of The State are
devised and put in operation without lie
lay.
With n climate unsurpassed by any

UNIVERSITY
GAINES LEASES HIS PAPER.
Will Allow Lane to Run the Monitor
Until January lst
from Mondays Daily |

H. N. Gaines, of Salina, on Satur-
day evening took possession of the
Monitor which he owns. He claims
that he leased it to J. R. Lane and
that the rent is delinquent. Lane
went on pleasure excursion last
week to Wisconsin, leaving his sister
in charge. Gaines after taking possess
sion placed S. S. Spaulding in charge.
The lease does not expire until Janu-
airy and some lively work in the
courts may result when Lane returns,
which will be tonight or tomorrow.
From Wednesdays Daily
The Monitor troubles furnished the
chief interest in town in the past "a
hours. When J. r. Lane came home
last evening from his excursion, leav-
ing the party at st. Paul, he made
bee line for the office and ordered s.
S. Spaulding, whom Mr. Gaines had
placed in charge, to depart. Spauld-
ing did not do it and the marshal
was sent for and ordered to throw him
out. As Mr.. Spaulding seemed
peaceable gentleman and was COM
hitting no offence the marshal did
not see his way clear to obey orders
and then there began an armed wait
on time. Lane had one key and
Spaulding the other and they rested
on their arms until about 8 o'clock
when they agreed to lock up and go
home. This happy solution
ended matters until this morning.
Then Lane swore out warrant
against Spaulding in police court for
disturbing the peace, and the case
was set for 2 o'clock. Lane locked
the doors and sat on guard in the
Office-now silent where once thun-
dered the denunciations against plu-
tocrats and Mark Hanna.
Mr.. Lane considers that he has been
treated most unfairly. He says that
he settled with Gaines who owns the
plant last April, turning over to him
the new type and press he had put in
and squaring up accounts. Gaines
then, he says, agreed to wait until
October for further payments, and
promised possession until January
next Under these circumstances,
for him to come down and seize the
office while Lane was away, the lessee
thinks very unfair.
Gaines came down at noon with his
attorney, I. l.. Bond, and he and
Lane settled their difficulties. Lane
paid up the rent due to date, about
$50, and secured a lease until January
1st. He then dismissed the case
against Spaulding at his own cost and
peace reigns once more.
The paper is Mr.. Gaines property
and Salna institution. The fact
that it has decreased in business and
circulation steadily and lost money to
both lessee and owner is due to this
condition, as Abilene and Dickinson
county do not care for Salina advice.
