Left to Guess What Induced Hallett's
 Bride to Return Home.

Northampton. Mass, Oct 1b.-rMr and Mrs John H. Hallett have separ- ated after six days of married life, Mir Hallett. 22 years old, is the son of former Mayor II. c. Hallett .of this city. his bride, who before her mar riage was Miss Edna Patterson of Putney, Vt, Is a member of one Of the foremost families of the state.
 The circumstances which led to the separation are not known to the pub lie. as neither MT nor Mrs Hallett, nor any other member of the two families will discuss them.
 Two years ago young Hallett in- herited large fortune. He bought a touring car, and on one of his trips visited Putney, where he met Miss Patterson. It was seemingly case of love at first sight, and they were married on October last. One of the most brilliant receptions in the history of the city was held at the Hallett home In Hawley street.
 Last week the brides sister came to Northampton in response, 1t is said to her request. On Friday she re- turned to Vermont accompanied by Mrs Hallett. A friend of the. two families said to-day that reconcilia- tion was out of the question. MT Hallett has announced that he will join his father,in California, and yes- terday there appeared in the North hampton papers an advertisement to the effect that his wife having left his bed and board, he would pay no bills contracted by her

The Old Familiar Cry is Drawing
 Nearer and Nearer,

Many a business man has worried himself half to death because he has invested his all and the returns have not been as gratifying as he would wish. Many a poor chap has grown grey during the night. as the sleepless hours passed one by one and he dreaded the dawn of another day. when he must face his creditors and tell them his pockets are empty. Many an unfortunate sat by the bed side of his sleeping family and won- dered, whether the job he had been promised would be forthcoming Ill the morning, or would he be again compelled to see his little ones eat the dry crusts left over from the day before. These are daily and nightly happenings and yet some one Of those may be in line for a reward before the Eagles fair has come to an end. Just think of the chap over in Wallingford, only few years ago. who invested in just one souvenir. The returns were thousand fold. The Eagles have accomplished the great feat of enriching four Water bury people in four years. They hope to do the same this year by twenty-one. The man with the over- alls and jumper has just as good chances as the man who controls the mill, but each. must have the souvenir to obtain that luck. You have two or three days now in which to get busy
 The streets of this city around the center will be blaze of light on Saturday evening. It will be the ushering in of the Eagles monarch fair. The thousand or more birds will flock together for flight through those redfired thorough fares. There will be martial music plenty of it., The Eagles nest will be. ablaze with myriads of electric bulbs. The Nilsson Aerial Ballet girls will entertain you on the iri- side. Dancing you can have sur- felt of. Hundreds of pretty young ladies will act as hostesses. Fun will be king of the whole domain. The prize piano will fall in love with all the aspirants, but will make winning eyes at only one. The time is near and the Eagles committee is ready to draw aside the curtain.

Theatergoers here well remember the genuine hit scored here last season by this famous farce, and it is gratifying to note that the same reception was accorded it in every city in which it has been played. Clean, clever, always brimming with mirth, genuinely ludicrous situations and stories within stories set a pace of action which speeds along with a degree of unction that has not been equalIed in farce comedy in the past twenty years, and taken in it's en- tirety constitutes one of the most de- lightful battles of mischief ever wit messed. Prices 25c to $1.50.

Havoc Detailed at Fcrnie Montana
Is Threatened Now.
For time communication with
towns 10 the east was kept open, hut,
with the burning of bridges across the
Elk river this was closed. Scattered
through the valley are many small
prairies. and all of these have their
groups OF refugees. The hills in all
directions are secthng mass of
flames, cutting off every avenue of es-
cape. The fire spread with unprece-
dented rapidity, and it is feared that
several parties who tried to get
through the pass have been cut off.
Families have been separated and there
is ut present no means of checking ND
the fatalities.
In Fernie the only buildings remain
ing are six small shacks OH the banks
of the Elk river, the offices OF the
Crows Nest Coal company and the
Fixes Wood warehouse. The offices Of
the Canadian Pacific railroad and
Great Northern are gone, together with
nll of the rolling stock in the yards,
the sleeping car Osceola being the only
car left. One hundred cars of coke,
the property of the Great Northern, are
gone, and the stock piles of coal and
coke, holding about half a million tons,
are in flames. 1t is now feared that
the fire may get into the mines them
selves, several Of which are open in the
neighborhood. This will mean incalcu-
liable damage, as the whole of the val
ley is underlaid with coal.
At present the fire is following the
crest of the mountain chain above
Sparwood, eating down into the val
!cys on either side. 1t is travelling at
Il tremendous rate. and unless there is
Il change of wind will cross the bound
airy into Montana in a short time
There are thousands Of mining and
lpospcctors' claims in the track of the
fire all Of which are in peril. A slight
change of wind has occurred and
Michel has been taken out OF the more
direct path.
