AN ECHO FROM SHILOH.
County Treasurer Utterbnck Recalls
His Experience on the Battlefield.

From the Nonpareil, Council Bluffs, Iowa.
County Treasurer A. Utterback, of Glen
wood. Ia, hes long been one of the Lead
ing citizens of Mills county. and since the
days of his service for the Union cause has
labored industriously at his home in Rawls
township. with the result that he has not
only surrounded himself with almost all
the comforts heart could wish, but has
grown into the esteem of his fellow men.
His popularity and standing therefore
made his election to the county treasurer
ship easy. His work as county treasurer
however, was confining. Coming as he did
from an active outdoor life on the farm to
the close and confining dtrties of the treas
urers office, he quickly began to run down
In health and 10 visibly fail in strength and

Sawyer, is a great believer in the efficacy
OF DIR. Williams Pink Pills. His constant
advice TO his employer. Mr. Utterback, was
to the effect that he should use these pills.
Finally MIR. Utterback consented, and now
after having used several boxes he is able
TO make the following statement to your
correspondent:

Music and the Drama.

The engagement of Chauncey Olcott at
the Coates was continued last night by the
presentation of 1.-THE Irish Artist" writ
ten by Augustus Pitou, Mr.. Olcott's mama
ger, and George H. Jessop, whose name
is familiar TO followers of the mefodrama
The story is an interesting one, and, heaven
be praised. is studiously free from the con-
ventionalities of the Irish drama. It is
a much stronger and a much more artistic
piece Of writing than "Mavourneen," but
the latter play having been popularized by
Seaman is still retained as the leading
bill. 1.-THE Irish Artist" presents Mr.. Oh
colt in an interesting role, that of an
artist whose genius has given his place
in the Royal Academy and who is there
fore prosperous enough to indulge himself
in the luxuries of q delightful existence
without sacrificing the qualities of affection
and heroism without which there could be
no Irish play. Mr.. Olcott finds opportunity
to sing several new ana delightful SONGS
He also makes friends with the little peo-
pie of the play and they are excellent foils
to his wit, sentiment and music. This new
star has already made many friends in
Kansas City, and his personality as well as
his musical talent Is so charming that his
ance as the engagement progresses. Last
night, of course. his audience was much
reduced by the counter attractions of the
street.
The chief worth of his new play is that it
has some very interesting characters
which have been well designed by the
authors and are we'll portrayed by the
company. Harry Meredith gives a truly
Irish type of character in his Cormac
Cronin. An eccentric parsonage of more
than passing Importance is Jerry Sweeney
as represented by Luke Martin. Miss
Busby, who has Maud Adams simplicity
and sort of pet kitten sweetness of per-
sonaHty. easily becomes favorite as Kate
Malone. Miss Coleman makes considerable
of the blarneying widow and Miss Elbel is
effective in the self-centered character of
Maggie. The same bill will be repeated
Friday night. Tonight, 1.-THE Minstrels
of Clare" said to be a strongly dramatic
play.

Wife's Second Husband.

Columbus, o., Oct. 6.-Judge Badger. OF
the common pleas court has decided a
very peculiar case in law. Several years
ago Mary L. Sharp secured a divorce from
her husband and $500 alimony. Two days
later she married a man named Perry.
Soon after she died, leaving her husband
the only heir. The alimony had not been
paid and the second husband sued his
wife's first husband for the amount. A
demurrer to the suit was filed, which
Judge Badger overruled. Sharp will be
compelled to pay the amount.

Miss Lewis was last seen in Kansas
City two seasons ago, when she was the
leading feature of 1.-The DaZZler." Before
that engagement she had been with Hallen
and Hart. She was exceedingly pretty and
was more than ordinarily clever. She was
no relation to Miss Ada Lewis, who has

OF business with May Irwin's aggregation.
The two Lewis girls have frequently been
confused however.
The board Of directors Of the Kansas
City Symphony orchestra has accepted an
offer from the management Of the Audito-
rum to give the eight concerts of this
season at that theater. The offer is the
same as that made by Manager Hudson
of the Coates, but owing to the larger ca
pacity of the Auditorium, the directors
preferred the latter theater, as the sub
scription list is already SO large as to in
sure the necessity of all or as much room
as the Coates provides, exclusive of gall
lery space. and it is thought that at least
100 additional subscriptions will be secured
The management of the Auditorium has
agreed to furnish the theater, the service
of all the attaches, the use of the scenery
and otherwise to meet all the demands of
the proper conduct of these concerts free
of charge. This liberality is a great gain
BILE coming at this time, when the enter
prise is still young. There is every promise
that the concerts of this season will great

high standard established last season. AS

as more exacting regulations in regard to
rehearsals can be enforced.
Another very important step was taken
at the last meeting of the board of direct
ors. 1t was decided to offer the school
board the last rehearsal of the orchestra
preceding each concert for the pupils of
the high school, the rehearsals to be given
in the school auditorium. for pupils only.
This offer. which will undoubtedly be ac-
cepted, will afford an excellent series of

sells him a ticket to New York by way OF

an order on a Washington broker to pay
the bearer q certain rebate amounting TO

HUSBAND WAS IN THE WAY.
Colored Preacher Shears Head Frnc-
ture5 nv His wffa's Friend

tured by His Wife's Friend.
London Shears. a Coiored preacher, mar
ried a widow about six months ago. Yes
terday Mrs. Shears told William Slaughter
to 20 out and Kill her husband. He secured
a large stone and going TO the place where
Shears is employed, struck him in the
head and factured his skull.
Shears is now at Emergency Hospital
with an even chance between life and
death, and the police of the Fourth precinct
are looking for Slaughter. Mrs. Shears
has a daughter by her first marriage and
Slaughter was supposed to be paying his
attentions to her, at least, that is what
Mr. Shears thought. He found out the
other day that his wife was the magnet
that drew Slaughter TO the house, and then
there was trouble. Mrs. Shears concluded
that he would be better out OF the way
and deputized her lover TO get rid of him.
Slaughter found Preacher Shears on G
street south west yesterday afternoon and
threw the stone. When he had knocked
the old man down he jumped on him and the
doctors had to sew up several cuts in
the preacher STAGE. Shears made his way to
Ma. and from there was sent to Emergency
HosptaI in the patrol wagon. Later
in the day Dr.. Peralta, assisted by Drs.
McGrath and West, performed the operation
of trephining and last night the patient was
said tobe doing as s.wella as could be expected.
