As far as can be gathered without the aid of a court trial or a grand jury, the trouble between the doctor and lawyer, living about 12 feet apart in one of the best sections of the city, was brought about by the children. The professional gentlemen were at first politely distant, then ceased to speak, and finally forbade their respective families to have anything to do with each other.

One evening the doctor heard loud lamentations, and rushed out to find the lawyer's boy picking himself up after having scorched into the rear end of an ice wagon 'and partially scalped himself. The doctor deftly made the necessary repairs, gave the lad a free lecture' on the necessity of looking where he waa sroina. and sent Mm borne.

MISSOURI QUIT THE UNION. Old BalldlasT Where the LesjUlatwre' Met far That Parpoae Is till Standlm. There is still standing at Neosho, the old Masonic temple where the secession legislature met October SI, 1881. to withdraw the state from the union.

The legislature was convened in extra session May 1861, at Jefferson City. It adjourned May 15 to meet the third Monday in September, and when the time for reconvening came Sep tember 16 Gov. Jackson and a major ity of the state officers abandoned the state capital, believing that If they i maised there longer they would be i rested as prisoners of war by the union troops. On September 26, 1861, at Lex ington, Gov. Jackson Issued a proclama tion convening the general assembly In extra session at Masonic halL Neosho, October 21.

The proclamation recited that the federal authorities had in violation of the constitution of the United States waged a ruthless war upon the people of Missouri, murdered her citi zens, destroyed her property and aa far as the power lay desolated her land. It continued: "I have in vain endeavored to secure your constitutional rights by peaceable means and have only resorted to war when it became necessary to repel the most cruel and long-continued aggres sions. War now exists between the state of Missouri and the federal gov ernment and a atate of war is incompatible with the continuance of our union with the government. "Therefore, for the purpose of giving to the representativea'cf the people of Missouri an opportunity to determine whether it be proper now to dissolve the constitutional bond which binds us to the government of the United States, when all other bonds between us are broken, Claiborne F.

15. The interstate eommeroe commission yesterday announced ita decision in the case of the board of railroad commissioners of the state of Kansas against the Atchison, Topeka ft Santa Fe Railway company and other The main points decided by the commission are aa follows: The ehangea which bare taken place la oondl-tfons governing; the transportation of wheat and floor from Kansas polnta to destinations la Texas are not sufficient to warrant interference tola ease with the differential making the rata fire eeata higher on Hoar than on wheat, which was approved by the commission In the Kauffmaa Milling oompaay vs. Missouri Faolflo Hallway company. Carriers of oorn and eora meal from Kansas points to destinations in Texas enforce a differential of seven oents per 100 pounds more on oorn meal than on oorn, and snoh difference prohibits the shipment of oorn meal ground at Kansas points Into Texas territory. It is held that the difference In rate of seven oents against oorn meal and In favor of oorn unjustly discriminates against Kansas millers and that the differential should not exceed three oents per 100 pounds.

Several different carriers engaged In trans porting wheat and oorn from points in Kansas and Missouri and intermediate points to Salves ton and New Orleans make lower export rates those eommodlties from Kansas City. Ma, points in that violnity, than from some of the intermediate stations on thaw respective lines. Is held that she higher rates from suoa inter mediate points subject those localities to undue prejudice, and that. If the carriers are allowed make these low export rates, they should In maMng them treat all intermediate territory alike, and desist henoeforth from charging higher rates of the nearer stations than those the mora distant points.

NO OTHER NEWS OF THE EVENT British. Awaiting Definite News! with Much Anxiety. MAFEKING IS UNDER FIRE. London. Nov.

15. A Paris paper today gleefully announced the fall and capture of Ladysmith, but the reports from source no longer cause a ripple of excitement. Nevertheless, there will be considerable anxiety here until the war office or some independent version of latest developments at Ladysmith is known. A dispatch from Cape Town gives news from Ladysmith received via Pretoria under the date of November 9, saying that heavy cannonading, started at Lady smith at daybreak Thursday, that some the Boer forces were within 1,400 the British, when the canno nadlng ceased and a rifle fire wa commenced. If1 the news from Cape Town Is correct, and there Is every reason to believe that It It's claimed here that It implies that a general assault on Ladysmith was pend when General Joubert's report was sent off.

The date, November 9, Is assured to be the date of General White's last pigeon-post message announcing the renewal of the bombardment, since which nothing has been received except rumors. It is announced here today that the British ship Gookha with troops and guns has arrived at Cape Town. An undated dispatch from Mafeklng, via Cape Town, says the Boers have been bombarding Mafeklng for a week, and that one night a squadron of a protectorate regiment made a magnificent bayonet charge upon, the Boers entrenohment, driving them from their positions and bayonettlng a number of Boers, who must have lost heavily. -The chef ge was most gallant and determined. At that time a general attack was ex-peoted to be made by the Boers on the following.

LITTLB NEWS AT LONDON London, Nov. 15. There is no additional news regarding the progress of hostilities in South Africa this morning except a dispatch from Mafeking, forwarded by a runner, dated October 81) which says that daring the afternoon Gen. Cronje, the Boer commander, sent an envoy to CoL Baden-lroweu, unaer a flag of trace, to declare that be did not consider the Geneva convention authorized the flag- of the Red Cross society to fly from several buildings at once in the town, and that in his opinion the employment of natives against whites and the use of dynamite mines were both opposed to the rules of war. CoL Baden-Powell replied that the Geneva convention did not stipulate as to the number of Bed Cross stations permissible and that the Boers were only required to respect the convent, the hospital and the women's laager, all of which were beyond the town limits.

The British commander also pointed out that mines were recognized adjuncts of civilized warfare and the defenses of Pretoria were extensively mined. Moreover, he reminded Gen. Cronje that the Boers had fired upon natives, burned their kraals and released their cattle and that the natives only defended their lives, and property. Despite three warnings from Col. Baden-Powell the Boers continued deliberately to shell the hospital and the woman's laager.

The sending of the Boer envoy was regarded, the dispatch says, as a mere pretext for penetrating the British lines at Mafeking. Accord ing to the latest reports, the town is confident of its ability to hold out until thn and of the campaign. So far as Kimberleyis concerned, the mental condition of the British there may be good from the fact that three weddinga hava taken place since the siege began, the last having been celebrated on November 8. In the absence of fresh news the morning papers are driven to discuss Lord Saliabury's letter regarding misinterpretations of his utterances at the lord mayor'a banquet and President Kruger'a threat to execute British officers now in bis hands unless Nathan Marks, a supposed Boer spy, is released by Sir George White. The premier's deliverance meets with universal ap proval, although the explanation was in no way necessary, as, outside the Daily Chrenicle, no one had supposed his words could bear the meaning which Boer sympathizers had been en-deavorinff' to read into them.

President Kruger'a threat has excited widespread indignation. The Dally News demands that bis friends should promptly inform Wm that his own neck and that of Dr. Beit, the Transvaal stats secretary will be held responsible for any such violation of the elementary rulea of civilixed warfare. The great delay on South African cables, now amounting practically to five days, and the lack of any definite newa from Ladysmith give rise to some apprehension, which, is only relieved by the fact that no adverse tidings have come from eitner xunuan or ur aourcea.
