\ Crazy Freak.

Last night word was sent by telephone to
police headquarters that there was an insane
man ou. near Kiefer' distillery at Post Siding,
performing strange antics and that the people
residing near were afraid of him and desired
his removal. Officers Cook and O'Keefe were
detailed to attend to the matter. They took a
hack from McKinney's livery stable and went
out to the place designated, where they found
the object of the alarm with huge fire, built
of slabs, before which he had lain down for the
night. The only foot wear he had with him
was a pair of a2tiquated rubbers and no
stockings. The remainder of his clothing was
equally miserable, consisting of an old cotton
shirt, short jacket and pair of common
Overails badly worn. It SIS miracle that he
was not frozen, but no part of his body had
suffered from frost SO far as could be discov-
cred. When the officers took him he gave up
readily. They found him lying on the ground
with his shoes off and feet toward the fire.
When questioned as to his object in lying out
on the prairie On such q freezing night he said
he mad come down from Minneapolis to take q
train out on the West Wisconsin road and WAS
waiting for it. He was placed in the hack
and brought to the city hall
making no resistance whatever.
Being questioned by Capt. Clark. he gave his
name al Jack MOlloy, from Toledo, Ohio,
where he said he was born and raised. He
also informed the captain that he was 26 years
old, and was fiddler, brick layer and clog
dancer by profession. He was not under the
influence of liquor, but was plainly demented
From the readiness with which he obeyed the
directions given him for taking a cell, it
seemed that he had been confined in some insti-
tuition for the insane before. DIR. Mattocks
will be summoned this morning to pronounce
upon his case, when the matter of his fuiur
disposal will be determined.

The Great Minstrel Sho,r.

What Barnum is to the circus, J. b. Hayerly
is to the minstrel profession. In all of his
managerial enterprises, minstrelsy mouopolizes
most of his attention. In his eagerness to
elevate its tone and improve its morals, he
lavishes wealth and energy that none other OF
his numerous undertakings draw from him. 1t
is his ideal amusement, and he will never leava
it until it stands side by side in its arstocratic
surroundings with the grand Italian opera
His former Mastodon minstrels created furore
never before known. II surprised Mr. Haverly
himself. The excitement extended to Europe,
and the wonderful troupe is now meeting an
ovation in London and the provinces, never
before awarded an amusement enterprise since
the days of Jenny Lind. The company has
become fixture in England, and the name
Haverly's Mastodon minstrels is now as ia.
miliar there as it is at home. The new Mas
todons exceed the old as two to one. The en-
tire minstrel profession flocked to his standard
and he has organized his company from the
leaders alone. Such an army of comedians,
vocalists ana instrumentalists has never before
been gathered under one management, and its
present tour through the country will be
signaled by success hitherto unknown in the
annals of amusement enterprises.

to the necessity of providing by
legislation for the organization, arming and
discipline of the militia. The affairs of the
Leavenworth military prison, the secretary
said, have been capably administered during
the year. He suggests, however, that in order
to be entirely successful and to carry out as
far as possible the original design Of making
the institution fself-sustaining, important
measures of legislation is necessary, which is
the authority of Congress to apply the earnings
of the prison to its maintenance.
The secretary says: From personal In
spection of many Notifications referred to by
the chief of engineers, am able to emphasize
his recommendations and beg to state that
their incompetent and defenseless condition is
discreditable to the country. Judging from
the history Of all nations, and the experience
OF our own, the United States will not. with its
standing, our traditional Pacific policy, find
itself sooner or later at war with
comes it will come suddenly. There will be no
time after its declaration to construct defenses,
either fixed or floating. Other nations have
been for some years and are now constructing
fast steamers of enormous size, encased in iron
armor mp to two feet in thickness. and armed
with rif1ed guns weighing up to one hundred
tons, carrying shot of tons weight, fred with
little short of a quarter ton of pow
der. 1t is feared that the country does not
appreciate the fact that after declaration 'of
war few days or even hours might bring these
great engines of destruction to our coast-it
may be to New York. or Boston, or Portland or
Baltimore, or New Orleans, or San Francisco,
or to any point the enemy may select. No one
can estimate the damage which may follow.
The works of river and harbor improvements
and examinations and surveys provided for by
act of March s, 1879, and previous acts were
carried on during the fiscal year
with satisfactory progress. The amount
available, therefore, July 1, 1879, was Sl0,-
772.176; the amount expended to June 80, $780,
$6, 174 ,22l; leaving valuable balance of S4,-
697, ,955 to be expended during the present
fiscal year. to which is to be added the appro-
priations by the river and harbor act of June
Il, 1880, amounting to $s,951, 500. The aot of
June IA. 1880, makes provision for 343 works
OF Improvement in sums varying from $500 to
100000. aud for surveys and examinations
with view to improvement of 144 localities.
In relation to the Whitaker case the secre-
tary says: 81 have refrained from comment
ing upon the unfortunate agitation which how-
ed from an alleged assault upon colored
cadet at West Point academy in April last, for
the reason that in some of its legal aspects the
subject is still under consideration" In con-
clusion Secretary Ramsey recommends that
provision be made by law for the appointment
OF an assistant secretary of war.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2l.-The annual report
of the Indian bureau for 1880 has been COM
pleted. 1t exhibits continued, steady ad-
vancement towards civilization on the part of
nearly all the Indian tribes, and very remarka-
BILE progress in many instances, especially
among the Oaallallas aud Brule Sioux. In
Dakota and on the Pacific coast the Indians
are in self-supporting condition. The num-
ber of Indians in the United States, exclusive
of Alaska, is reported at 255, ,93S, all of whom,
except about Is, 900 are more or less under the
direction and control of the agencies of the
government. The civilized Indians now in the
Territory number 60, $50 and the uncivilized,
l7,750. There are, in round numbers, $4,000
Indians. ir Dakota, $4,000 in New
Mexico. $1,000 in Montana, 1900 in
Arizona, and $4,000 in Washington
Territory, collected at Yokema agency. The
demands upon the bureau by the Indians of q
large majority of the agencies for implements
with which to enable them to perform manual
labor are far beyond the means at the disposal
of the department for that purpose. The de-
sire of the Indians to labor is steadily growing,
and large numbers are willing and anxious to
engage in civilized pursuits and the improve
ment in their manner of putting in and caring
for crops raised shows the efforts Of the past
five years are gradually beginning to show

DOXEY'S DISTRESS.
The ''Boon," fn Stocks Spills Hts "Bxcke.-
Shop" Into the AHey.

The Boom" fn Stocks Spills Hts "Buc6et-
Shop" Into the AIey.
Chicago Times, Nov. 2O.I
There was panic yesterday in Gamblert
alley, and many of the habitudes of that
cheerful thoroughfare were in mourning.
The recent boom in stocks brought disaster
upon two of the bucket-shops, and caused
them to suspend. The Chicago Grain and
Provision Exchange, better known as
Doxey's bucket-shop, refused to settle trades
at 10 o'clock yesterday. The business of
the place was begun as usual in the mornino.
and some trading was done, but before
10 o'clock payment on claims was stopped
and further business refused. The room
occupied by the concern filled with creditors
and curiosity seekers. There was no ex-
citement, however, and not as much loud
talk as might reasonably have been expected.
The men who trade in the alley appear to
be philosophers; they took their losses
quietly, and if it had not been for the list
less way in which the employees stood around
a suspension of Business would not have
been suspected. The call of the market was
continued, and all who bad contracts of
purchase or sale were invited to present them
and have their accounts adjusted.
No money, however, was paid
to anybody. The following no.
tice was posted upon the blackboard m Dox-
ey's place: "No new trades will be taken
and no settlements will be made until fur
ther notice. Ali day will be allowed to close
existing trades"
The reasons assigned for the suspension
are the heavy losses sustained ever since the
beginning of the pork corner. Mr.. Charles
L. Doxey, who owns the establishment, but
figures as it's president, said that the losses
of the concern in the last ninety days would
reach $4,000. They began with the rise in
the pork market. All the customers of the
concern went short of pork, and the
bucket shop, to escaps the peril of
sudden drop in the market, bought large
ly of pork to protect itself. The losses were
heavy IN this deal. Then the Indiana elec-
ton caught them short of stock with every-
thing booming and their customers all buy
ing. Finally, for the past few days, with all
kinds of securities going up from 1 to 10
per cent, everybody has been on the long
side and losses have bsen heavy. The
proprietor said that he was short from
twelve to fifteen thousand shares
OF stock. The suspension was, he de-
clared, necessitated by the lack of
funds to continue business. Mr.. Doxev
failed about year ago, and settled with his
creditors at twenty five cents on the dollar.
He has lately been doing a very large bust
ness. short time ago, it is said, he was
accused of some peculiar antics by q rival
shop keeper. In the quarrel that arose some
of the niceties of the business was disclosed.
About noon yesterday two attachment writs
were served upon MIR. Doxey by a constable,
and very soon after a levy was made by the
| sheriff and the place closed.
