The Musical Cholera Preventive.
[Courisr-Journal.I


According to Geographic advices from
Europe, the soldiers in q garrison at Sar
atoga have adopted a method of prevent
ing cholera altogether new to medical
science, which seems to know so little
about the disease
If the Saragossa experiment prove sue
cessful, then to city which is plentifully
supplied with musical institutions, such
as, for instance. amateur societies, Co
operative benefit" concert associations,
professional orchestras and persmbula-
tory hand organs, need fear an onslaught
of the cholera
No town with an average brass band
will be liable to the attacks of the cpl
demic, and every family with q musical
son and flute. or an Industrious daugh-
ter and plano, will be proof against Its
Invasions.
As happily, however, it Is beginning to
look as IF we shall escape q visit of the
plague until at least another summer, we
can afford to await the outcome of the
Saragossa experiment with comparative
equanimity.

Maryland, MY Maryland"


It was at this time, after q supper at
the headquarters of the Maryland line"
at Fairfax, that the afterward universal
war song, My Maryland, was set afioat
upon the tide of army favor. We were
sitting outside tent In the warm star
light of an early autumn night, when
music was proposed At once we struck
up Randall's verses to the tune of the old
college song, "Lauriger Horatius, "a
young lady of the party from Maryland,
cousin of ours. having recently set them
20 this music before leaving home to share
the fortunes of the Confederacy. All
joined in the ringing chorus, and when
we finished burst of applause came from
some soldiers listening In the darkness be-
hiild q belt Of trees Next day the melody
was hummed far and near through the
camps, and in due time it had gained and
held the place of fayorite song in the

last during the continuance Of the confed-
eracy. those cheerful instruments of tor

M'COMB BROTHERS,

'lAmone the many big mercantile estab-
lshments of which Wichita feels proud, the
manufacturing and wholesale saddle, har-
ness, leather and saddlery hardware estab-
lshment of McComb Bros, No. 1913 Douglas
avenue, occupies foremost place.
The firm consists of JIG. McComb and
John McComb. These young men came
here from Rockport, Ind, in 1872, and
worked for SIN. Garrison for a term of five
years. In ~ they bought the lot upon
which their large establishment now stands.
They then built upon it brick structure
25x60 feet and one story high. They entered
into a co-partnership with man
named Smith, doing retail harness
business under the firm name of
McComb Bros. & Smith. In 1879 the firm
was dissolved. Mr.. Smith retiring. The two
young men then carried on the same BUSH
ness under the firm name of McComb Bros.
In July, 1888, they added fifty-fve feet to
the rear of the building and raised it to two
stories high, so at present the dimensions Of
the building are 25x115 feet and two stories
high. They became SO popular, their bust
ness so increased and the demand for job
bling orders became so great that they were
induced to add largely to their stock, en-
ploy large number of hands and launch
regularly into the wholesale trade. Their
trade grew rapidly until at the present time
they employ twenty hands including
two travelling statesmen, and carry
upwards of $4,000 worth of goods.
The fact that two young men not worth
dollar when they came to Wichita, one of
them learning his trade with S. NJ. Garrison,
has risen step by step until now they own
one of the largest establishments in their
line west of the Mississippi, is a sufficient
guarantee of the quality of their work and Of
their honorable dealing. The rapid rise of
the McComb Bros. is fair example of what
can be accomplished in Wichita by honest
and persistent effort and honest and upright
men. Their sales during the past year have
been immense.

A LACK OLE socIAaILI1Y.

There is want Of social life ia Wichita,
that is Of every day friendly intercourse.
This is marked more especially as between
the older and the newer residents and is to
be deprecated. 1t is very hard matter for
newcomers to get acquainted and when we
remember that in fact more than one-half of
all cur people belong to that class it will be
readily understood why it is such difficult
matter to get acquainted. In every old-set-
tied community every newcomer is noted
and if he or she is found worthy everybody
life, but in community like Wichita few
know who the newcomers are, where they
are from or what their claims of recogni-
ton may be. The result is very cold and
formal intercourse, if, indeed, there be any
at all. This state of things is very trying,
especially to women who have
left the warm, festive heartinest
of some old community where their whole
lives have been passed. Outside Of the Old
Settlers association and their mutual old
acqauintances, comprising probably thou
sand, leaving twelve or fourteen thousand
people little and big, there is only limited
kind of sociability to be found in the city
Go to any of the large entertainments given
and mark the intercourse. Nobody seems
acquainted. All seem strangers to each
other. We have felt downright sorry al
times, not only for the. strangers but fol
ourself as well. This should not be. Lei
everybody not only unbend, but let the new
corners especially remember that nearly ev'
erybody else are new corners and act &C
cordingly. There is no intention of being
mean, no discourtesy or selfish meanness
intended. Our church societies can do a.
much or more to break this restraint than
any other persons or organizations, and we
hope they won't forget our words or thu
fact nor the causes which lead to it. Let IL.
be more sociable.

COUNTY FAIRS.

The meeting at the Arlington hotel, ii
this city, Thursday, for the purpose of ar
ranging dates for the county fairs embraced
in this circuit was attended by full delega
ton, two representatives being present from
each of the seven counties included in thi
circuit.
The meeting was called to order by Col
st. Clair, of Belle PLANE, who presided ovel
the meeting. and d. L. Kretsinger, of Win
field. was selected as secretary.
Owing to many of the delegates coming
unprepared to remain but short time, the
deliberations of the meeting were rather
hurried--in fact, but small portion of the
business arranged for transaction was com.
pleted.
Dates for holding fairs in the following
counties we're thus arranged:
Anthony, Harper county, Sept. LIST to 9th.
Harper City, Harper county, Sept. 18th
to 18th.
Wellington, Sumner county, Sept. 9Th
to 11th.
Winfield, Cowley county, Sept. I'D to
26th.
Kingman, Kingman county, Sept. 18th 10
Oct. I'd.
Wichita, Sedgwick county, Oct. 4th to 9th.
Elderado, Butler county, Oct. 18th to 10th.
1t was also agreed that uniform rate Of
general admission, rent of booths and stalls,
ETC., should be charged by all Of the above
fairs.
After considerable discussion on general
topics pertaining to fairs, the meeting ad-
journed to convene at the same place again
on Wednesday, March 4th, at which time
steps will be taken towards organizing a
trotting circuit.-Wellington Press.
