SYSTEMATIC SEARCH BEGUN
 FOR MISS ATCHISON Missing Women's Brother Takes Up Task of Finding Her.

Up till late Monday night no trace of the whereabouts of Miss Flora E. Atchison, who mysteriously disappear ed from her home in Baltic over week ago had been found, although word of her disappearance has been sent out te the various towns in this locality.
 On Monday pr. F. c. Atchisen of this city, brother of the missing wo- man, inaugurated a systematic search for her. pr. Atchfsen requests all newspaper correspondents, school teachers, pastors and others to be on the watch for any persons resembling his sitter and also requests the pastors to make announcements re garding her disappearance. Miss Atchison is good looking, has jet black hair. bIac keyes and weighs about 15o pounds. Her teeth are good and in manner she was nothing out of the ordinary. Her speech was naturally rapid. At the time she left her home she wore black and gray wrapper with polka dots printed in the cloth.
 Miss Atchison resided in Baltic with her sister Miss Bertha Atchison and Mrs. William Ladd. According to pr, Atchison she had no particular recre- ation except her Sunday school class which she regularly taught. She ad sufficient money in the bank to keep her home wich SC owned and which is known as the Andrew Jackson Ladd

After a half hour's s absence as she had not returned a scare hwas begun and by 1 o'clock over a dozen men were engaged in securing the woods in the nearby locality but without result. The search has been kept up since that time but no clue has been found. AS it was thought she may have thrown herself in the river dynamite was exploded in the Shetucket in hopes that the body would be brought to the surface. At the time she left her home there was ice on the river and as no holes could b found and as the river is in plain sight of the village it is thought that she is not in the river but is being harbored by someone.
 Last week a woman answering the description was seen in Mont&:Ile: but Dr. Atehison has small hopes u aU she was his sister
 On Sunday party of searehers went to Hanover from Baltic: but to no avail
 Dr. Atchison attributes the actions or his sister to hysteria- She was alone a good part of the time which would tend to bring on nervousness in her case
 As yet nothing has been heard from Mrs Hilda Anderson, married and A years of age who disappeared in a similarly mysterious manner from her nome in Baltic on Saturday, March 2S.
