Committee Speculation.

SpeClal UO Tue OIODe
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The coming of
Mr.. Carlisle is awaited with good deal of
interest, not that there is any idea that there
may be contest over the speakership. For
the only man who could make any fight for
it, Mr. Randall. has announced that
he will not be a candidate. The
interest that is felt is in the formation
of committees. Since it is conceded
that MI Carlisle is to be speaker there is
much anxiety to see what he will do with
reference to the committee chairmanships.
The failure of Mr.. Morrison to accomplish
anything in the way of tariff reform at the
head of the ways and means committee in
the last congress, leads a good many to
question whether or not he will have that
position again. On the other hand the dis
satisfaction among anti-Randall people with
Mr. Randalrs course at the head of
the appropriations committee leads them to
assert that he will not be given that posi-
ton again. Of course it rests with MI.
Carlisle. If he chooses to put Mr.. Randall
at the head of the appropriations commit
tee he will do so. 1t is well understood,
however, that he was not pleased with Mr..
Randalrs course in the last congress and
there are many who believe that
he will not appoint him to
this position this time. Two years
ago Mr.. Carlisle felt under some
obligations in the matter. 1t is always
customary to appoint the most prominent
but unsuccessful rival on the speakership
field to the position as head of the appro-
priations committee. This time, however,
Mr. Carlisle will not feel himself under any
obligation so far as custom goes and
whether he will follow his committee chair
manship list of last year is very uncertain.
Sheridan's Indian Policy.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Gen. Sheridan,
speaking about the allotting of lands in
severalty to the Indians to-day, said:
My plan is to give each family $40 acres
and have the government buy the remainder
of the reservation at S1.25 al acre and pay
for it in per cent. bonds. The interest on
these bonds would be enough to support the
Indians, educate them, civiliZe them, buy
them cattle and agricultural implements and
hire coed men to teach them farming. Take
the Grow reservation for example, where we
have so much trouble keeping the Indians on.
1t embraces 5000, 900 acres of the best land in
the world, and owned by about 500 families.
Give each family two sections ard the pro-
ceeds of the sale of the remainder Of the land
would be at least S6,000,000. The interest on
this would give about $500 a year to each
family and that would give them all the
money they needed.

Fathers Curious Dream.

Special to the Globe
FREDERICK, Nd, Nov. 12.-Last Thurs
day. Columbus Dronenberg, aged %, son of
a prominent wheelwlight and farmer living
near Urbana, this county. attended a So
cable at neighbours house. He left for
home about o'clock a. m. and was never
seen alive again. After two days absence
his family organized corps of searchers,
but they could find no trace of the missing
man. Monday night Mr.. Dronenberg, Sr.,
says he had dream in which he saw his
sons corpse lying on the floor of Mon
mouth barn and yesterday, at the request
of the father, the neighbors commenced to
search all the barns in the neighborhood.
Large barns were given the preference, and
in the barn owned by Mr.. Thomas Dixon,
near Urbana, the largest in the county, the
corpse of the missing man was found. 1t
bore many bruises and the manner of death
has caused great deal of comment. The
coronels jury has adjourned to await the
result of post mertem examination. The
