CAUGHT THOSE BANK ROBBERS.
Bank Cashier and n Drug Clerk Loo&c
the Institution at Buffalo, ILL.,

Bank Cashier and n Drug Clerk Looted
the Institution at Buffalo, Ill.
SPRINGFIELD, May 1S.-The men who
robbed the State Bank of Buffalo, this
county, last Thursday have been captured
and have made a fullIconfession. They
are Carl KlOppenburg, the cashier of the
bank, and Joseph Kloppenburg, drug
clerk of this city, sons of August Klop-
penburg, a wealthy citizen of Springfield.
Carl kloppenburg confessed to Sheriff
Baxter the entire story. He states that he
and his brother put the job up two weeks
ago. Joseph was to ride out to Buffalo,
fifteen miles distant, on his wheel, enter
the bank at the noon hour when Carl was
alone in the bank, secure the money, bind
and gag the cashier and return to this
city.
The programme was carried out to the
letter, but was SO flimsily done that many
people not only saw Joseph Kloppcnburg,
but recognized that he was disguised and
very poorly, too. Carl is in Jail here and
will plead guilty. Joseph is out ON bond
secured by his father. There is third
man in the case who has not yet been ar
rested. The amount stolen is over 81 500.
The money was found in Joseph Kloppen-
burg's room at the drug store here and
turned over to the bank officials.

Tackles the Production of Silver,

Referring to the claim that silver has
fallen simply in obedience to the law of
supply and demand, he said: 1.-The claim
made that there is an over-production of
silver since 1873 as compared with gold,
and that this is the cause of it's fall in
price. is absolutely without foundation. ~
Neither was there an over-production of
anything else From 1850 to 1873 there
was relatively as great an increase in
production. taking it the world over, as
there has been since that time; vet from
1850 to 1873 prices the world over con-
tinucd to rise, while since 1873 they have
continuously fallen. 1t is not over-pro
duction, but underconsumption that ails

Consnnguineou. Marriages.

With regard to deaf mutism, Stats
tics show, for the most part, that the
closer the degree Of relationship between
the parents, the more numerous are the
number Of the deaf mute children born
For example, one marriage between
an aunt and nephew produced 3 deaf
mutes. -Four marriages between uncle
and niece produced IL deaf mutes.
Twenty-six marriages between first
cousins produced SO de mutes. Sixteen
marriages between second cousins pro-
duced 20 deaf mutes. Forty-seven mar
riages between blood relatives produced
~ deaf mutes. These are important
facts. which leave no measure Of doubt
as to the influence of the intermarriage
OF blood relations in causing deaf NUT
ism. But Just in the same way as con-
sanguineous marriages should be avoid.
ed so also should the intermarriage of
persons tainted with hereditary disease
be discouraged. -London Medical Press
