The identity Of the blonde young wom-
an with the automobile coat, whose elope..
ment Tuesday night with Albert Frank
lin, the colored elevator attendant Of one
of the big down town stores, caused such
a sensation yesterday, is no longer a
mystery. Her name is Lillian A Butts
She lived formerly at 350S Pleasant ave-
nue.. Until recently she has resided with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Charles Butts,
at Richfield. The family moved out of
the city last fall. The couple left over
the Great Westerns night train for Chi
rago. Franklin, who lived with his
mother at 1914 Fourth avenue south, in.
formed his colored associates that their
ultimate destination was New York.
The acquaintance between Franklin and
Miss Butts commenced several weeks ago,
since when scarcely a day has passed
that the young woman has not been seen
about the store She was generally In
close proximity to the elevator shaft In
which the dusky object of her affections
was continually having his ups ana
Gowns. When In the store she generally
found her way to the balcony, and there
exchange words with Franklin without
making either of them too conspicuous
~The very intimate relations existing be-
tween them did not go unnoticed in the
store and the affair came to be the sub
ject of very common talk among the
clerks and other employees. The fact
that the woman was gifted with excep-
tional good looks, that she was elegantly
dressed and that she did a great deal Of
shopping when her attention was not
fixed on Franklin attracted particular at
tention toward her. The fact that she
also bore evidence of good breeding, of
education and refinement served but to
heighten the effect.
What impressed the clerks at the diff
ferent counters where she made her pur-
chases was the generous roll OF bills
which she was in the habit of displaying.
Occasionally, when ready money was not
available. she found prompt way out
IF the difficulty by presenting her check.

NO HURRY FOR CHARTER.
VIII Not Likely Re Voted on at "a
Special Election.


1t is extremely improbable that the pro-
posed charter will be voted upon at
special election. 1t looks as If 1t would
have to wait until the general election i'll
November and take its chances with the
other issues Of the campaign.
The charter rejected in 1893 was voted
upon at the general election, and while
1t received a majority Of the votes cast,
it did not receive a-Vote of four-sevenths
of the total number of votes polled, the
reason assigned being that by the time
the voter had marked some thirty names
on the three tickets given him he was SO
tired that he overlooked the fact that
charter was before him for considera-
ton.
1t has been the desire of the charter
commissioners to have this latest charter
submitted to the people at special cleo
ton, where it would be the sole issue,
and could then be considered on its mer-
it's.
But the charter commissioners and the
friends of the measure are reckoning
without their host. 1t is for the mayor
to say whether there shall be a special
election.
The present city charter provides that
there shall be special elections only when
there is q vacancy in the office of may
or or aldermen.
Therefore there can be no special cleo
ton unless Mayor Gray should see ut
to resign, or one alderman from each OF
the thirteen wards can be induced to quit.
The last contingency is improbable, as
to the first, the mayor is the sole Judge In
the premises.

The checks were signed by Lillian A.

called for she gave her name as Miss
Hastings. All the while Miss Butts was
not neglecting Franklin, who began to
take on more of an air of prosperity, ran
the elevator more to suit his own con-
venience than that of the customers,
wore better clothes than had been his
wont and was spending a great deal
more money than he was earning
In addition to her other eccentrfcities,
Miss Butts had a weakness for fast
horses and stylish turnouts, Whenever
she came to the store with the double
object of shopping and visiting with
Franklin she drove up in a smart trap
with pneumatic tires. attached to

were her own property, but it transpires
that she had been hiring the turnout

Often after the store closed she would

EPWORTH. To-, Feb. N.-Frank Moore,
the popular proprietor of Moores hotel
here, is firm believer in Dodds Kidney
Pills. They cured Mrs. Moore of dropsy
and indigestion. which had been brought
about by the general weakness Of the sys-
tenn.
Dropsy is caused by disorders of the
kidneys. The kidneys are the outlet for
the waste water of the system, strain
that water from the blood and send it
to the bladder where it is passed from
the body in the form of urine.
In kidney disease the filters often get
choked up-the kidneys do not strain this
water off. 1t is literally damned up in
the system and flows back, lodging in all
the tissues and under the skin. This Is
drepsy and it can only be cured by
Dodd's Kidney Pills
Dodd's Kidney Pills clean out the fit
ers, break the dam, restore the kidneys
drained off. Here is what Frank Moore,
of this place, says about his experience
with Dodd's Kidney Pills as a cure for
dropsy.
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are good. I can
recommend them to do as they are adj
vertised. My wife used the Pills. She
was subject to dropsy and Indigestion.
They have done her a wonderful amount
of good. I think she is permanently cur
ed. At least she does not need to take
any more medicine now. 1 highly recon-
mend them to any one who is In need OF
kidney medicine Dodds Kidney Pills will
do what is claimed for them
