An article headed "A Mixed Case" was
recently published Iu Tna BEE , In which
the name ot Mrs , F. Stapenhorst was
mentioned as one of the disturbing ele-
Mute in a neighborhood row. Judge
Beneke Informs ni that the complaining
' wltnew was la error In the nse ot the
lady's name atoll , and withdrew the charge
o far an she was concerned before the case
weat to trial , Mrs. Stapenhorst was
thereupon honorably discharged ,
' . . T. , W. Barlow , a cltlren of South
'Omaha , recently went down Into the south
part of Douglas county on a hunt. In hit

i mother escaped but the "kldt" wars all
captured and he [ presented their scalps tc
the county commissioners , receiving therr
for the legal bounty ot $2 per head.
A Word ( or Well-Dresaed den.
notwithstanding the fact that the
coming of Mr. Edward Ely , of the
Chicago tailoring firm of Edward Elj
& Co. , had been very generally an-
aouaoed in our city papers , it wai
hardly to ba expected that ho would
ba greeted by such A concourse ol
people as have been flocking to see
him slnoo his arrival at his room , No ,
21 , Pax ton Hotel. It may bo thai
the papers did It , but It Is more proba
ble that Mr. Ely's general 'reputation
-had a great deal to do with the attendance
-tondanco upon him Ba that as It
may , business began early Satnrdaj
morning with him , and continued al
most uninterrupted through the day ,
'It may not be out of place
to etato that Mr. Ely Is now
.aimply taking measures and orders ,
with the view to filling the lattoi
when he shall return te Chicago. II
may also ba well to say that as a cuttei
' .and titter Mr. Ely has few equals anc
no superiors la the country. It hai
been said of him that ho has madi
taoro gentlemen than any man tn thi
vest , Hli firm enjoys also a splondlc
reputation for the superior oharaoto
of itt work with reference to durabll
Ity. They uio the bast miterlal am
.put it together with the greatest care
Combining the element of ohoapnet
with the elements of fit and durability
we find splendid reason for the repn

two young ladles for whoio poasossloc
bho two womtn are contesting boluf
brought Into conrt by Mr. Drew , tc
whoso custody they were confided a1
the tlmo of the serving of the writ.
There was quite a lar o andledci
prcacut , the conrt room being fillet
and a majority of these present
especially the ladles , taking sidei
with the Philadelphia woman , who li
claimant for her children. Han
J. 0. Oowln appeared foi
the Omaha Mrs. Kelly , Judge
Baldwin and David Van Etton op
poarlng for MM. Kelly , pf Phlladol
[ ) hta. A aooro or more ofutnessei
were present , and the case was one ol
the most exciting and Interesting evoi
on trial in the city.
The most peculiar thing about the
whole matter Is that both womer
claim to bo the mother of the twc
girls. The Philadelphia woman pro.
dnoos a marriage certificate , certificates
cates of christening under seal ,
and above and beyond all
the pension certificate of tbo United
States pension commissioner , showing
bor to have been the legal wife ol
John Kelly at the date of his doatb ,
four years ago , and entitled to thi
pentlon dno his legal wlfo and hit
ihlldron. In addition to this a nnm
set of witnesses testify to certain ad.
missions of both Mrs. Kelly , of Oma
IB , and her deceased husband , which
ully corroborate the claim of the
Phlladolphla woman.
As opposed to this , the Omaha Mrs ,
tolly has thus far offered no conntei
lestlmony. Slio has held the girls it
oalty to herself , probably on account
of the ties by which years of assooia
tlon would naturally bind them to
nether and because , If the story of the
Philadelphia Mra. Kelly Is true , the )
were so young at the tlmo of theli
abduction , that they have forgottoi
their real mother and know only hoi
who has stood to them for years it
that light.
General Oowin noted entirely on thi
defensive and offered nn testimony li
rebuttal cf that produced by the op
plIoMit for the writ.
Daring the trial the moat intense
interest was manifested on all sides.
Mrs. Kelly , of Omaha , appeared
dressed In widow's weeds and was coo !
and collected , while Mrs. Kelly of the
Quaker City'waa very nervous anc
felt keenly every thrust made by the
attorneys. The former sat with the
two girls , the younger seated at timei
on her lap ; the latter sat alone bn
with the sympathy of nearly al
present on her side.
The examination of witnesses listec
through over three hours , and then
were saveral sharp contests as to wha

The overland train , dno from the

reported twelve hours late , the dola >
being ocoaiioned by the storm al
Sherman , the summit of the Rockies.
At a late hour last night It was reported
ported that the tralu would bo in al
midnight , and accordingly a BEE re
porter was at the depot to moot her ,
There It was learned that a special
train , the first section of No. 4 , had
arrived at 8:40 p. m. This train car
ried the Australian mail , and wai
taken through on special time , in or
der to connect with the atoamor al
Now York city. The train consisted
of engiuo 107 , with Al Johnson at the

280 sacks cf "black strap'

Conductor Wlnkolman WAS in charge
of the train and ( t made the distance
trom North Platte to Omaha , 291
mllen , In ulx hours , or an average ol
ever 48 miles an hour. This la pro
bitbly the best tlmo over made ovci
the Union Pacific. The special
stopped iu Omaha just ono minnto atd :
than crossed the bridge , where the
transfer to the Northwestern wai
made in exactly fifteen minutes.
UEOULAU NO. 4 ,
The regular No. 4 arrived at 124 ; (
ever nine hours lato. She had el > { hl
cars only , two of them being Pall
mans. Among the passengers rrai
the Rico Srrprlao party , which playcc
at Oheyouno on Saturday night anc
were billed for Boyd's opera house
last night. Having lost their ongugo
rnont hero they will probably go tc
Lincoln to-day and appear there thii
evening.
From one of the passengers on thii
train It was learned that it loft Lira ,
mle fourteen hours late. A snow
plow was attached and the rnn made
to Tie Siding without any tronblo.
Eight hours were spent in working
from that point toward Sherman.
At length , the train being toe
heavy to work with the plow , it wai
detached and preceded the regular ,
making the trip all right. The snow
was not very deep on the level , bul
drifted badly , being twelve foot deep
in some places. All trains were laid

probable that the regular train to-daj
will bo several hours lato.

MRH. T. STAFENUORHT.
PRISON REFORM ,
Hon. 'Marvin H , Bovoo Visits
Omaha ,
He Will Oomo Again to Got
Capital Punishment
Abolished.
Among the distinguished gnoots ot
the Paxton at present is Hon. Marvin
H. Boveo , \Vlsconiio , who has
como ont to visit Judge Wakeley ,
Gen. Eitabrcok and Mayor Chase , old
Wisconsin friends of hie.
Mr. Boveo la celebrated for his ac
tive Interest In connection with prison
reform and tho' abolition of cipltal
punishment , hia work beginning In
1852 , when both ho and Judge Wake *
ley were members of the sonata in
the Wisconsin legislature , which abolished
ished the death penalty ,
Mr. Bovoe , after hnviag the death
penalty in Wisconsin abolished , chozo
the wide world aa his field , and began
his laboro. In New York , Illinois ,
Iowa , Minnesota and other etatea he
has , by his persistent work , bad laws
passed making the punishment for
murder llfo Imprisonment as well
an death , and ho la still pursuing his
object.
Ho has just como from Missouri ,
where ho waa endeavoring to have
established a reformatory for young
crimlnalo , and proposes to como to
Nebraska two years hence and try to
have a bill passed abolishing capital
punishment.
Ho thus states his ideas In regard to
penitentiary reform :
"I believe that we ought to do away
with onr entire system of punish
ment. The present syatem can do
nothing but harm. We send a man to
prison for a certain length of time and
then he la released. He is not re
formed and cannot ba , nor can ho live
down the disgrace which has been at
tached to him. No one will have him
and as ho is forced to resuma his old
ways society receives no benefit. 1
would supplement this system with
another. I would do away with the
words penitentiary and punishment.
The latter Implies revenge , and ven-
gsancu Is beneath the dignity of a
state. For 'penitentiary' I would sub
stitute tbo name 'state reformatory1
and I would have all criminals sentence -
tenco thereto for an indefinite length
cf time. They would be given to un
derstand then that the time of their
release would depend altogether upon
the time when they should be thor
oughly reformed , and this would be
determined by a board of arbiters ,
composed of gentlemen selected from
the very best citizens of
the state , who should have
the same salaries and official
standing B the supreme judges. With
this syatem a man could , npon his re
lease , show the world a certificate of
character which , being signed by the
distinguished and conservative arbiters
would have great weight. Of course
there will bo objections raised to thlc
plan , but I have ono argument which
cannot be refuted , and that is , oni
present system Is as bad as It oould
possibly be , and offers no hope while
the new plan least offem a great hope ,
and cannot possibly be a bad. The
mind naturally advances the objection ,
will not a convict simulate virtue so as
to blind thn arbiters , and gain , hli
freedom by hypocrisy ! To that I
would answer that the simulation ol
virtue for years would be a great step
toward a genuine reformation , and
would lead a convict into a trato oi
thought which could not help but be
beneficial. The assistance after his
release , now dor.hd him , would mater
ially assist in fixing this reformation
and then wo may Indulge a hope whore
there is none now. "
