One of the results of this long cold winter is an accumulation of garbage from the kitchen and pantry aboutthe back yard, and often near the door; decayed and frozen vegetables in the cellar, piles of ashes or cinders in various places, etc Now that warm weather is approaching, these should all be looked after, and especially those in the cellar. 1 Those rotten apples', in that ban-el, the frozen potatoes and turnips in that corner and the cabbage leaves scattered about, should all be carried out and put in some place where the malaria arising from them will not be inhaled by those about the house or passing along the street.

Disease, and sometimes death lurks in these things in the cellar. Too much care cannot be taken to keep it clean. Pieces of lumber, sticks of wood, chips, should all be gathered and put aw ay in proper places for fuel or other uses, all rubbish raked up and put with that from the cellar or bnrned, the cinders put on the walks and the ashes on the garden. Let every nook and corner be cleansed with rake, shovel and broom. Every damp spot should be disinfected with dry earth or bits of unslacked lime.

Open the cellar Windows and let the fresh air pass through, and scatter plenty of dry earth in the vaults and sinks. A few hours of labor may save days or weeks of suffering and many nights of weary watching; a few cents spent in cleansing may save many dollars in doctor and medicine bills. Don't neglect to clean up. DIRECTORY. with the dcterminatioij that the "Old House" shall continue to maintain its position as the Leading- Dry Goods and Carpet House of Kansas.

The Index for March is out and is a very creditable number both in quality of matter and general appearance. The ladies and gentlemen who compose the editorial staff are to be congratulated on their success. FAMILY SHOE STOKE Several artcles and locals have been crowded out this week, for lack of space.

II ill, chairman, and J. W. Lee, secretary. The object of the meeting was to consider tho propriety of making an effort to have the company, in building the railroad from Kansas City to Wichita, make Baldwin one of the points on the line. To show the importance of this road to the town, vicinity and adjacent country, earnest and stirring speeches were made by Col.

Buckner, J. Chamberlain, Dr. Hoss, J. A. De-Valley, Dr.

Owen, 31. Sullivan, ProC Weaver and others. After this the following resolution was adopted by an enthusiastic vote: Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the railroad should be built through Baldwin, and that all reasonable effort should be made to secure the same. A committee, consisting of the following named gentlemen, was apjKrint-ed to confer at onco with the officers of tho road with a view of securing its passage througu'Baldwin: J. Chamberlain, C.

Rej-nolds, W. I. Graham, Geo. Nott, L. B.

Bodwell, C. S. Ilogan, J. M. Sullivan, G.

W. Hoss, J. A. De Valley and A. Buckner.

For the purpose of defying traveling expenses of said committee, printing, a liberal collection was taken up. After the adjournment of the meeting, the committee met and organized by electing L. B. Bodwell, chairman, A. J.

De Valley, treasurer, and C. S. Ilogan, secretary. The committee then instructed Col. Buckner to proceed at once to Wichita to carry the sentiments of the meeting to the officers of the road, present the claims of Baldwin and vicinity, and learn, as far as possible, the purpose of the olliccrs as to Baldwin.

We said above, that this meeting was enthusiastic. It was, and the more noticeably so when we consider recent movements and liberalities namely, the arrangements for building over a mile and a half of side-walk this spring, and the subscription of 55,000 for the new college building. It is perfectly clear that if Baldwin purees were as large as its jfetbirtie-j-tuat things would move, and thai quickly and vigorously. It is sometimes said that college towns, priding themelves in their ap-portunities for culture, rest in these and leave enterprise for other places less favored. This is not the case with Baldwin.

She believes in colleges and schools, and the intelligence and culture that come with them; and she also believes in enterprise and progress. More, she is willing to and pay liberally for a good thing rather than do without it Baldwin is a luindsome and growing town, and with such a spirit as was shown at this meeting, and also at the one a short time since in behalf of the college, the time is not far distant when it will be handsomer and larger. One ot tho speakers impressively said, after seeing filly counties iu Kansas, he did not hesitate to say that Baldwin was the handsomest small town he had seen in the state. With the present "outlook, the signs are that it will not be long till he can say Baldwin is the handsomest little city in the state. May it so be at an early day.

Let all help. A beautiful double gate, with the words "Baker University" painted on the arch, now adorns the south entrance to the campus. It was built in B. M. Sullivan's shop.

Baker University. Since the weather has moderated serenading parties have increased, and almost every evening the air is laden with the plaintive notes of 'Way Down on the Swance River," Bye, Baby, Bye" and other popular songs. But after 10 o'clock all is quiet as a country church yard. TOWXSHIP. S.

The one we have is very much to one side, and far from the children living in the south and west part of town. It is not only unfavorably located but its capacity is not sufficient to accommodate more than fifty per cent, of the pupils in the district.

It has but three rooms for the accommodation of about 420 pupils. That would give 140 to every room, a number which is more than double that which any teacher can properly instruct. The enumeration of August, 18S4, showed that at that time we had 297 children who, according to the laws of Kansas, had a right to expect that there would b3 provisions made for them to receive public instruction in this district. There were over forty houses erected here during the building season of last year. If they are occupied by families who did not live in Baldwin at the time of the enumeration and most of them evidently are and we estimate the number of inhabitants added to our town upon the basis of five to a family and three-fifths of that number children, then, under the school law, we would now have, in addition to the 297 as shown in the August enumeration, over 120 additional, will give us at this time about 420.

To say nothing of the increase in the number of pupils for the present year, much less of the near future, we need at least seven rooms to properly accommodate the children of our district for the next school year. That would give 00 pupils to a room, which is in excess of the number that should be packed into an ordinary school room. The begining of the next school year will be here soon; so it behooves tis to adopt some measures speedily, to make provisions for the education of our children. Where and when shall we hold a meeting. O.

Robert Fee Butts died of consumption, March 12th, 1S85, aged twenty-seven years. He was bom in Ripley, Brown county, Ohio, where he resided until 1S76. He then came to Baldwin, Kansas, where he has since made his home. He is a brother of Mrs. Ella Carter, deceased wife of Mr.

Clay Carter, and is well known to many of the readers of the Visitor. Mr. Butts was converted at the age of fourteen and united with the New Light church. In September last he made a visit to Ohio, but his health failed so rapidly that he returned to Kansas, accompanied by his mother, whose purpose it was to administer to the wants of her son 'S2, conducted chapel 1 Wednesday morning, and at the close made a few very acceptable remarks.
