Commissioner Ruisell , when oskoJ by a
reporter for The Bee out of what fund the
money for the pamphlets alluded to came ,
replied that lie paid It out of his own
pocket , and showed his Individual check for
the amount , $110. It Is rumored around tlio

eventually be , paid out of the fund In the
hands of Hie republican state central commit

It Is difficult to understand why Lind Com

when there Is a fund In his hands appro

NRW YORK. July 20. Governor Culber-
son's edict adverse to pugilistic encounters
In the state of Texas does not seem to have
had much effect on the sports. They nil
believe Implicitly In Dan Stuart's ability to
bring off the.big fight nt Dallas. As "side
shows" the O'Donnel-Maher and Ryan-
Smith fights have also engaged the Interest
of the sporting fraternity. In the up town
hotels tonight the admirers of pugilism
gathered nnd discussed the possibility of
Stuarfs scheme coming out on top.
Word was received from New Orleans to
night that pools had been established In
New Orleans , Louisville. Hot Springs , Mem

tained : -100 to COO against Corbott , 500 to100
against Kltzslmmons ; COO to 700 against
O'Donnel , 700 to 800 against Malier ; 400 to
500 against Rynn , 500 to COO against Smith ;
400 to nOO that the Corbett-Fltzslmmons bout
dees not last twenty rounds , and 400 to fiOO
that It exceeds twenty rounds ; -100 to 500
that tlie O'Donnel-Maher bout does not
last twenty rounds , nnd 400 to 000 that It
exceeds twenty rounds ; 400 to 500 that the
Smith-Ryan bout does not last twenty

rounds. Combination betting 500 to 100 Cor-
bett to win nnd to pick the other two win
ners ; 800 to 100 Fltzslmmons to win nnd
pick the other two winners.
The backers of the book are so confident
that Governor Cu'.berson's recent procln-
iratlon will not hold water that they offer
tempting odds of COO to 100 that the llpht
will tnko place In the state of Texas. In
sporting circles tonight the majority who
are on the "inside" expressed themselves as
being perfectly satisfied that Stuart knew
his business and that Dallas would get the

PI5URY , Okl. , July 29. Krom parties ar
riving from the Arkansas river bottom this
morning It Is lernncd tlmt the river over
flow Is doing great dAtnngo to low bottom
farms from Ponca City for 100 mllM touth-
oust. Many fine fields of corn nro now under
wntcr waist deep and hundreds of ncri-s hnvo
been washed away. The Osagc Indians , liv
ing on the bottoms on the north 'side , have
bwn compelled to more lo higher ground ,
It U reported ttmt the new bridge across
the river at Ilhckburn has been washed
away.
WICHITA , Kan. , July 2fl. The Arkansas
river rose t\\ \ Inches more this evening , with
Indications ot nn additional rise of four
Inches before morning. The west bottoms
of the First word nre covered with water
nnd boats are going about among the houses
to BCD If ntiy one Is In peril , but so fur every
person Is safe. The rise , however , causes
the widening of the river over the bottom
lands of the vnlley nnd damage Ims been
done which It Is yet Impossible to estimate.
One man named Pierce Is said to have been
drowned near Mulvnne. A heavy rain Is fallIng -
Ing tonight , which will mnke the situation
more serious , allhoi' It will greatly benefit
the corn , which was In n fair way to burn
up , the past few days having been extremely
hot. The rise Is the largest , with one excep
tion , since the whlto settlement was estab
lished In this country.

"J have used n good many rheumatism
medicines In the course of my practice , hut I
can candidly say that I never saw a remedy
as effective ns Munyon's Rheumatism Cure.
I gave the sample bottle I got Monday to ono
of my patients , a lady , who has had chronlu
rheumatism In her llmhi for years. Her knee
nnd elbow joints were stiff , nnd She suffered
great pain. Its effect was simply marvelous.
Relief from pain was obtained In a few hours
after the first dose , and Inside of twenty four
hours the lady wns feeling better than she
had for yean. I shall prescribe Munyon's
Cure for nil cases of rheumatism that como
under my care in the future. "
