By reason of the state of chronic incre-

they miss half the good of this wOrlc.
They seem to think that doubt and unbe-

of being deceived reject much that is true
and good. To such minds the statement

TUCKER ON 4 TEAR.
The Tangle-FOOt Tour of a
Former Sedalian i'm the
State OF Texas.

The St. Louis Star Savings of yes
terday contained the following sensa-
tional account of the recent doings of
Detective Tucker Of that city. The
article which we repubiish is evidently
highly exaggerated. The Mr. Tucker
referred to below, formerly resided in
Sedalia, where he carried on the bust
ness of painting. He was a straight
man and was not addicted to drink,
and his old acquaintance are 10th to
believe the story. Even if there is a
foundation for the story it has evil
IDENTIFY been greatly exaggerated.
Mr.. fuckers wife is one of the old
est teachers in the St. Louis public
school. The article is as follows
THAT especial pet and protege of
Chief OF Detectives O'Neiil, Detective
Tucker, will arrive ia St. Louis to-
morrow night, after all absence of
several weeks from the city without
leave. About a month ag, a live
stock dealer of Texas swindleT a ST.
Louis merchant ont of 1900, and
Tucker was assigned 10 90 after the
swindler and bring him ~ this city for
trial.
The suilen Tucker arrived at Fort
Worth and learned that his msn had
bought ticket for Dallas at one OF
the brokers' offices in Fort Worth,
aud after taking a few drinks to open
up his "clue box" he started on the
fast train for Dallas, where he learned
that his man had eluded him by
doubling" But this had no effect
on Tucker an incident like this to
such Hawkshaw as Tucker was like
a dash of crimson, a sketch in black
and white ii threw a little bright
ness and JOY into his life.
He started out on a glorious drunk.
and Officer Archambault was sent out
after him. but returned empty handed
and reported that he could not find
his brother detective. Tucker is one
of those drinkers who can gaze on the
wine In Its redness and never think of
drinking, but when he gets a good
chance and a distillery, the only
things he leaves behind him are the
the retorts and watts. Tucker has
been away for three weeks now and
there has been such a raise in the
price of "corn water" down in the
Texas districts, that it mas been ru-
mored that Tucker has been playing
in the interests of the bull faction of
the whisky combine.
Sunday night, Capt. Joyce was sent
to Fort Worth to bring the bibulous
Tucker back to his roosting place
once more. Chief Huebler received
a telegram late last night, from Capt. |
Joyce, stating that he would start
from Fort Worth with Tucker this
and arrive here tomorrow

MugwumpS.

George w. Gregg, of Houstonis, was in
the city to-day. George came into the
BAzoo Office, and in quiet, cast-iron sort
of tone of voice told the theological editor
that he had evolved a new political theory
that would, if practiced, convert the whole
blessed country into q nation of mug
wumps. 1t seems that Mrs. Gregg is a re-
publican and Mr.. Gregg is a democrat,
and of course there was trouble in the
family, until last Saturday Mrs. Gregg,
good soul, presented her democratic spouse
with twin boys. They have named one of
them Harrison Gregg and the other Cleve-
land Gregg. The BAzoo publishes this as
a pointer to other women who desire to de-
stroy partisan strife.

the building directly in the center on its

Nearly 200 human beings went down in
the awful wreck. Human tongue can new

The walls gave way, the floors fell down,
one on top of the other, and carried their
great mass of human beings to the bottom.
The bricks were piled up in the greatest

whistling, rushing roaring wind, terrible
cries for succor went up to heaven. 1t was
