The Levy List.-The County Commission
ers and Clerk T. A. Leonard have taken a
hand at editing the JOURNAL this week. They
occupy over six columns of our first page
with matters of great importance to the solid
taxpayers, among whom the JOURNAL has a
large and growing circulation. In putting
their statement in type we have enjoyed an
exceptional opportunity to scrutinize the APP
preparations and payments, and on the
whole, We are glad tosay, the Commissioners
have made the adjustments as economically
as possible. This is cvinccd partly by the
reduction OF the rate of taxation from 81 O3
to 81 per $l00 In doing this they have also
laid the foundation for further decrease next
year-a policy which the taxpayers will not
fail to appreciate. Mr.. Leonard has put the
work in good shape, and the JOURNAL presents
it in almost faultless typography. So that,
between us ALL the first step toward the ''good
time coming" Is delivered in fine form.

OTTAWA, 0Sr., Dec. 80 Scarcely a MON.
ber Of Sir John McDonald's Cabinet
could be found yesterday. The greatest
excitement prevailed hero all day over the
result Of the elections In tho province oi
Ontario. Upon this contest depended the
fate Of Sir John Nc cDonald's administra.
tion at the approaching Federal election,
and he, with four members Of his Cabinet,
threw his whole strength into the fight,
stumping the province for the past two
months 10 tho interest Of Meredith, the
leader Of the Opposition, thus identifying
Federal with Provincial politics. The re.
suit has been that, instead Of defeating
the Liberal Government Of Mowatt, 1t has
strengthened his majority 5S percent, &C.
cording to the latest returns, which give
Mowatt 90 and Meredith so, This meanE
defeat for Sir John. Tho prospect now Ia
that the Dominion elections will be put
of to the very last moment-probably tc
next September.

New YoRK, Dec. S0.-The Mail and Es-
pre| gives, editOrially, the following in.
testing information Of rheumatism:
"Rheumatism Is a fapllar malady, but
Notwithstanding It's prevalence 1t is prob.
able that the peculiar form OF II that
proved fatal to General Logan is now
heard for the first time by many
persous. Commonly, rheumatism il
latal only when 1t touches
the heart, and that complication aside 1t
turns rather upon its tortures than upon
any apprehension OF immediate danger
TO lie. Cerebral rheumatism is, how.
ever, often fatal in a very few whours.
Nobody has yet discovered why In any
given case this disease leaves the jointa
and assails the brain, nor yet why this com.
pliCation iB 30 uncommon. Rheumatism
GssailS particularly one tissue Of the body.
This is what the Rnatomists call tho white
ibrous tissue. This tissue is the material
part Of all the joints; 1t lorms the valvoH
Of the heart aud envelopes and sustainH
the brain. Reasoning simply from the ac-
knowledged relation OF rheumatism TO the
white 1brous tissue 1t 10 supposed 70 be
the b!ain would bs more exposed to itA
raysges than any other organ. There Ia
none In which this tissue is 80
abundant. Explanation Of the procliyity
Of this disease TO touch the joints
turns entirely upon the fact that
these are mainly masses ot the white
tibrous tissue, which also is abundant in
the heart and its appendageS, and in brain.
The fact makes the cerebral variation q
natural one. and humanity may rejoice In
the fact that for some reason or another 1t
Is rare one"

WlTROCK'S MOTHER
GIVES raE ECAusE OF ROBBERY
He Wanted to Raise tho Mortgage from the
Old Homestead, and He "Borrowsd"
What lie Wanted from the
Express Company,

sr, LOUIS, Dec. pa special from Lea,
Venworth, Ksns., says; Mrs, WitroCk, the
mother Of "Jim Oummiugs," was seen at
her residence sgaiu last night She was
very unwilling to say anything about the
arrest OF her son, but was anxious that the
public should know the real cause OF the
robbery. She said that she had wondered
from the irst what prompted the robbery,
and the question she asked her son after
he had been brought to his home by the
detectives was; "Why did you take the
money!"
She says he answered that he was great
ly worried because the time was growing
SO short when the mortgage on her hcms
to secure Sl,7O0 (hSt she had borrowed
and loaned to him) would come due, and
he was no! making money enough out Of
his business to pay her, So, instead Of al
lowing the homestead to 90, he made up
his mind to make y desperate effort to
save 1t, and finally decided upon the plan
OF rohbing the express car,
Specials from lsavenworth and Kansas
CITY state that Oscar Cook has made
confession In which hestasod that Fother.
ingham, the express messenger, who is
now In jail charged with completely In the
robbery, knew all about the plan to rob
bls car, and was willing victim TO the at
tack Of the robbers. " "a said that he was
promised $40 900 ol the amount stolen as
his share OF the booty, and that sum was
q part ot the money which Fred WitroCk
aent to his mother for aafa keeping.
A special from Kansas City states that
It was the intention OF the conspIrators to
rob the car on the night ol October %, and
that the frat Jim Cumming" letter was
written before that time and dated on that
day, On that night, however, there was
not enough money in the car to pay the
robbers for their trouble and their plan
was not finally carried out until the 25th.
Should these statements bs borne out by
the facts In the case, FotheIipghRm will
doubtless accompany his fellow Conspira.

CHICAGO, Dec. 30,-Two thousand dollars
Of the moaeystolen,by the Jim Oummings'

prea' Company by means OF which Wit
rock gained admission to the Express car,
The printer aays;WltroCk approached him
with the request to do this work.
WitroCk explained that 1t would enable
him to obtain passes upon which he could
travel all over the country, Suspecting
nothing criminal the printer complied.
Shortly aitsrward he waC sent the sum
mentioned, which he kept Intact,
knowing 1t must hsYe been part OF tho
proceeds Of the robbery. The money has
