M. Sheldon Co who have already assumed control and will issue their first paper next week The individual members of the new firm are as follows: C. M. Sheldon, W. Davis and W.

B. Follett. each of whom are well and favorably known. They are young men of good character, and possess all the qualifications necessary to make the Chronicle a successful news paper. The Hebaid extends -the fraternal grip, hoping and believing that the most cordial relations will always exist be tween the two papers.

Concerning the future of Mr. Bastall we know nothing, but we hope he will will remain here, and in whatever busi ness he may engage be successful. AVI1I Strike It Rich. The following news item appeared in The Herald of March 31: Mrs. Lizzie M.

Izor, wife of M. I. Izor, fore man of the Fort Scott Monitor news rooms, has faUen heir to a considerable fortune through the death of her grand uncle, Chas. A. Brosius, in Germany, who left a fortune of $33,000,000 which, as nearly as can be ascertained at pres ent, is to be divided between four hundred and fifty heirs.

The fortune was inherited by Chas, A. from his brother, Dr. John A. Brosius, who was an uncle of Mrs. Izor's father, Z.

J. Camp bell, deceased. We have since learned that two of the heirs to this vast fortune reside in this city, namely: Mrs. William B. Has kins and Mrs.

T. J. Davis. Mrs. Ilas-kins informs us that Mr.

Brosius, men tioned above, was her great-grandfather, and that her and Mrs. Davis will inherit about $74,000 each. Mrs. J. C.

Cline, formerly of this place, but now residing at Clyde City, Kansas, a sister to Mrs. Davis, will also inherit the same amount, Arrest of Dr. Kester. Dr. D.

Kester, who arrived in this city about two months ago, and has since been practicing medicine here, was ar rested at the Burlingame House Tuesday morning and taken to Independence, Montgomery county, the arrest being made by the sheriff of that county, assisted by Mr. IT. FranKhouser, of this city. The doctor is charged with steal ing three hundred dollars from a man in Montgomery county about a year ago, and it is said he was once arrested on this same charge, and afterwards made his escape. We did not learn the full particulars of the alleged robbery, but from the surrounding circumstances we are inclined to think that this is a very peculiar case.

A gentleman residing here has informed us that Dr. Kester has been in Indepen dence within a few months, and that when absent from there he made no se cret of his whereabouts; that while here he had mailed a great many of his print ed circulars to parties living in Indepen dence, etc. This would seem to disprove the story concerning his arrest there less than a year ago, and, indeed, from the fact that under his own name he advertised himself so extensively while in this city it looks very much as though he had nothing in particular to fear from the Montgomery county authorities. The doctor, in some respects is a very foolish man, as his continual tirade against the old school practitioners proves conclusively, and it may be that he is a very bad man, but we cannot help thinking that it is barely possible, everything considered, that the doctor did not steal the $500. Horticultural Society.

The meeting of the Burlingame Hor ticultural Society, which convened at the residence of Mr. Samuel Evans, on Saturday, the 14th was well attended, and was interesting and profitable to all present. Reports of various members of the society in regard to the condition of fruit buds warrants the statement that apples and cherries bid fair for a full average crop; blackberries and raspberries very badly injured by hard freezing; peaches also badly injured, but coming out better than was expected a month ago. There having been no regular programme of exercises arranged for the meeting a very interesting and profitable discussion of topics of general interest relating to horticulture was had. Mr.

E. Foote exhibited specimens of two varieties of seedling apples which he is testing, and which promise well. They are both good keepers, and are excellent for cooking purposes. Rev. A.

C. Easter exhibited specimens of the Ben Davis apple grown in Iowa, in comparison with fruit of the same va riety grown on his farm in Dragoon township. The superior quality of the Kansas apple was apparent to all. The next regular meeting of the society will be held at the farm of H. Dubois, on Saturday, May 12, at 1 o'clock p.

31. H. Dubois, Secretary. The Foot Kate. The foot race at Osage City yesterday between Dick Burnett, of Scranton, and Jelf.

Hunter, of this city, was won by Hunter. There was quite a large crowd in attendance, though very few side bets were made among the spectators. Hun-ter, we are informed, was the favorite, and it was difficult for his friends to se cure bets at the most favorable odds. Another race has been arranged between the same parties, to take place at the fair grounds, this city, two weeks from to-day. Below we publish the article of agreement entered into yesterday by friends of the two runners, the forfeit money being now in the hands of Mr.

A. H. Warner, of this city: Osage Citt, April 20, 1883. We, the undersigned, huve this day matched a one hundred yard foot race between Jefferson Hunter, of Burlingame, and Dick Burnett, of fecranton, Kansas, to be run at the Burlingame fair grounds, two weeks from to-morrow, May oin; race matcnea tor $100 a side, twenty aoi- lars a side put up this day and thirty dollars a side to be put up one week from to-day: the other nf ty dollars a side to be put up the day of the race. Either party failing- to put up the money forfeits the amount already up.

Birthday Party. Iiittle May Huff was eight years old veaterdav. and in honor of the event a party was given by her parents, to which a great many of their little daughter's friends were invited. We learn that there were twenty-four of these little ladies and gentlemen present, all of whom kindly remembered her with a handsome present. An elegant supper was prepared by Mrs.

Huff, which was very much enjoyed by the little folks. It Was Ever Thus. The millinery windows In Burlingame just now are very attractive, and it mak-eth the heart of the average female go pit-a-pat as she gazes on the lovely goods so artistically arranged. The average female's husband is seized with a sudden palpitation of the heart, too, when he thinks of his wife's love of a spring bonnet, which the wicked milliner will very soon trim to order and send up to the house, not forgetting to send also a very neat little highly perfumed note, which will read: "Dear Madam I hope this will suit you and your excellent husband. Price, $25.

Please call and settle." Two Runaways. We had two runaways in town Monday afternoon. The first was the horse of Captain J. B. Childs, with a top buggy, which becoming frightened at a piece of paper the wind was tossing about on Santa Fe avenue, broke away from a hitching post near the bank corner and ran up the street as far as Filley Son's store, where Yank Forsythe stopped him.

The buggy was turned over, and very badly damaged. In a few minutes after the Captain's horse had been stopped the team of D. W. Phelan, of Fairfax, hitched to a farm wagon, came up the street at a lively gait. The city marshal, on horseback, followed and stopped them, however, before any damage was done.

A. S3.00 Swindle. Mr. C. Metz, proprietor of the Burlingame house, complains that a man by the name of Hornbeck, representing the Lawrence Journal, has swindled him on a small scale.

Hornbeck, it seems, while in this city contracted a board bill with Mr.Metz to the amount of three dollars, a part of which he agreed to pay in print ed envelopes, giving credit on subscrip tion for balance. This was nearly three months ago, and as yet neither the paper nor envelopes have been received. Some time after nornbeck's departure Mr. Metz wrote to the proprietor of the Journal concerning the matter and received a reply that the envelopes would be forwarded the following week, but as already stated they have not been received. Children Poisoned.

Clifton Davis, aged about nine years, an adopted child of Mr. G. W. Davis, living seven miles north of this city, died Thursday of last week and was buried in the Burlingame cemetery Friday. -His death was caused by eating a poisonous herb, or root, which was supposed to be an artichoke.

The four children of Mr. Amos Davis, of the same neighborhood, were also poisoned in the same manner, but have since recovered. A great many of our readers in town will remember little Clifton, who lived here at one time. He had no parents, and was first adopted by a Mr. Wright, then a resident of this place, who afterwards gave him to Mr.

Davis. He was a bright, promising boy, and those who knew him will regret that he met with such an untimely death. A farmer's Complaint. One of our most influential farmers has recently complained to us of two or three things which the farmers have to contend with in this city which our city fathers should certainly look after at once. The farmer referred to informs us that the bridge at the east end of Santa Fe avenue is in a very bad condition, so much so that one of his horses recently put a foot clear through it.

He says, too, that it is dangerous to drive a horse ou Santa Fe avenue, as the boys very often are allowed to fly kites on this street, and also for the reason that on a windy day pieces of paper, swept from the various business houses, are continually flying from one end of the street to the other. This thing of weeping papers into the street should be stopped at once, also the kite flying, and all the bridges and streets leading into the city should be carefully and promptly looked after. Off for Texas. Mr. O.

H. Kelson, of the firm of Finch, Lord Nelson, of this city, starts to-day for Dodge City with fifteen cars of very fine Hereford and Short-Horn bulls, and two cars of horses. This stock will be driven from Dodge down into the Texas Pan-Handle, a distance of three hundred miles, where the above named firm already have cattle on a thousand prairies. Mr. Nelson will go only to Dodge with the present shipment, after which he will return and ship twenty or twenty-five cars of cows and heifers, also destined for the Pan-Handle.

To give some of our readers an idea of what a bunch of Herefords and Short norns are worth we will state that the aggregate value of these two shipments of Finch, Lord Nelson is about $75,000. A pretty good sized wad, ain't it? The following named gentlemen go with Mr. Nelson at this iime: S. N. Hills, Fred.
