 Notwithstanding Gro warnings by 10, cal banks and by the commercial agene eies this sort of investment is tak 7g like wildfre among the poorer class $, and 1t is estimated that fully $250, coo has been drawn cut of this city within the past six months.

NEW COLONY OF DUNKARDs.
An Entire Indians County May De Pur-
 chased by Them.

An Entire Indians County May Be Pur~
 chased by Them.
 The peculiar religious society known as Dunkards, large numbers of whom have lived in northern Indiana for many years, are endeayoring to purchase tho entire body Of land comprised within Brown county, to which they will em- igrate and establish government ac- oording to aeir own peculiar notions.
 C. E. Everett of Fort Wayne is nego- tiating with many landowners ill the county and has already purchased 4 GOO acres, to lich 100 families will move in few dPys and form the nucleus of the new settlement. The county con- tains great deal of valuable land and large quantities of building stone, ard as the Dunkards arc all industrious peo- pie it is expected that the county will become ill time tho garden spot of In- diana.
 Mir Everett thinks the sect will have no trouble in ultimately acquiring all the land in the county and will put in- to practice tl-eir ideas of local govera- ment. The rrrprietors of the scheme say that neither jail nor courthouse wal be needed, and that tho election of local officers would be held only to comply with the law, as all property would be held in common. - Cleveland Plain Dealer

A Potato That Lifted n Ton.

Charles ". Simmons, who lives on | farm near Pleasant Home, brought i'll from his farm curiosity. He diseoy- cred it while digging potatoes It con. sists of Late Rose potato grown in the root of tree. The potato vine seems te have crept into the root, and the new potato then started down in the depths It 'fourished in its strange surroundings and developed into largo and well formed potato. The room in he root was too small for its expansion. and so the spud exerted not less than ton pressure on the root until the side was split open. The root IS about inches in diameter and 6 inches in length. About an inch of the spud protrudes from ono end. It is quite a curiosity, and all who have seen it say they never saw anything like it before. Portland Oregonian.

 Their Singular History.
 John Adams of Somerset, Ky, who was bitten by mad dog several days ago, was taken to Stanford to submit to tho application of tho famous Dudderu. "madstones. ? They were applied to the wound and adhered the first time. Ad- ans, shortl after h9 was bitten, at tempted, with extraordinary nerve, to eauterize the wound and, as he thought, thus burn out the poison He used a ehared stick and severely burned his hand.
 The Dudderar madstoues arc known throughout Kentucky and Tennessee. Mir, Dudderar told the correspondent that they were brought to Kentucky from Missouri about 1842 by his father, Samuel Dudderar, who said that the stones came from the maw of a Rocky mountain goat. In the 50 years or more that they have been in the Dudderar family the stones have been applied to at least 1 1000 mad dog bites, and of all the patients only one has died, and in that case the wound was neglected for IS days after the biting Cincinnati Enquirer

 bilt Mansion at Newport
 Marble House, the S2, 000,0 GOO palace at Newport which William K. Wander bilt built as birthday gift to his wife, may, it is rumored, be bought in by Potter Palmer of Chicago. When Mrs. Vanderbilt secured divorce aud mar ried Oliver II. P. Belmont, it was said that she would retain tho Newport house, but since then sho has changed her mind and the place is for sale. The traditions of Marble House are so close Iy associated with the Vanderbilt family, and more especially with her first hus- band, that Mrs. Belmont, much as she would like to keep the big white palace, has concluded to sell.
