MUCH ANXIETY FELT.
Till 1t Was Learned That Miss Matte
Fiske of Stowe Was Safe.

Stowe, May 6.--The people at the Cen
trail telephone Office and subscribers on
line IL TO Waterbury Center were kept
busy a large part of Thursday night in
a vain attempt by her friends at Water
bury Center TO locate Miss Matte Fiske
Of that place Miss Fiske, who is 20
years of age, and nearly blind, was in
Moscow Thursday afternoon. She lett
Leon Butts house after supper to walk
to Waterbury Center At about hall
past nine when she did not reach home
her father and other friends became
anxious about her. They aseertained
that she was seen passing the power
station of the Mt. Mansfield electric rail-
way on the main road to Waterbury
about s o'clock, but were unable to ob-
tain any trace of her after that. After
the fruitless quest Of the night they were
about to set out on an organized search

FEW CHANGES ASKED.
Barre Voters Not Greatly Concerned in
Presidential Primary.

Only five cases were considered at the
meeting of the board of civil authority
in the court room at city hall and unless
the number OF names to be added to the
checklists for the presidential primary
May 10 is greatly increased at the next
meeting of the board, it is probable that
the lists printed for the March elections
will be used again. Seven members of
the board were present and Alderman A.
NJ. Rossi acted as chairman. Three ap-
pearances were Carl c. Perkins, trans
ferred from the second to the first ward,
NJ f. Spencer TO the second ward and
Even Mckenzie from the third to the
first ward. Additions were John McPhee
in ward and George Kent in ward /.
Promptly at 7 o'clock the board convened,
only TO adjourn a short time afterward
when it became evident that the response
was not to be nearly as large as at the
meetings preceding the March election.
Whether the slim attendance was due
to the fact that the checklist was revised
less than two months ago, or to a lack
Of interest in the forthcoming primary is
a matter for conjecture. Doubtless both
combine to account for the
deficiency in numbers. The board meets
for the last time prior TO the primary in
