IvHIrE car OUTRAGE.
Rewards offered 70: tile Murderers of
Thomas duncan, IA Settler in Kansas.

Thomas Duncan, "a Settler in Kansas.
TOPEKA, KANSAS, March 27.-Gover-
nor Humphrey has offered a reward of
5000 tor the arrest and conviction of
each of the murderers of Thomas Dun
can, settler living in Cheyenne
county dug-out. The murder was com
mitted March 10Th, but the letter of the
prosecuting attorney to the governor
gave the first details and confirmed the
many stories of White Cap outrages
which have come from the north
western part of the State.
For some weeks past there have been
rumors in Topeka of white cap punish
ments in the sparsely settled outlying
counties of the state, but they have
lacked official confirmation, and no
further attention was paid them. Ac-
cording to the present attorneys letter,
Duncan was accused of pilfering grain
in small quantities from his neighbors
in order to get n sufficient amount of
seed to plant his spring crops. Two
days before the killing occurred one of
the neighbors positively identified Dun
can as he was making his way from a
grain bin. The neighbors were in
formed and about o'clock on the even
ing of March 18th, about twenty men
with White Cap masks rode up TO Dun
cans house and were met at the door
by his wife. The victim had heard
them coming and had crawled into a
storage room leading from his sod
house. The White Caps started to raise
the house and Duncan announced that
he would come out. He started to &c
into his yard when fire was opened on
him. One bullet pierced his heart and
another his right side. The men rode
off, leaving their victim lying across the
threshold of his own house.

REASON or so MANY CHANG Es.
The Danger of Forming a Conference
within the Conference.

The Conference Chronicle says: The ses-
sion of conference Wilmington y
was one of unusual interest before it con-
vened on account of some sharp questions
expected to arise, and since its adjourn
ment because of the radical app lcation of
episcopal authority. The unpleasantness
about which the secular press had so much
to say was settled in an easy and satisfac-
tory manner. More than any other bishop
we have ever had did Bishop Fowler oh
serve the mum rule the changes he made
were sweeping and in large number of
cases the unexpected happened. The pre-.
siding elders themselves knew nothing, we
are Informed, of their personal future
until their names were publicly read,
when two unexpected appointments--un-
expected by the appointees as well as by
the conference-were announced.
One feature Of the heroic appointing
done at Centreville strikes us as being wise
and that is the interchange of pastors
among the several districts. Inasmuch rs
presiding elder may remain a long time
on the same district, If he is allowed to re-
tain the same preachers during this period,
there is danger of the formation of a CON
ference within the conference which shall
he out of sympathy with the rest of the
body. This, or a similar reason, must have
operated in bringing about the unusual
changes made at our late session.
