 Wallingford, Nov. 1S.-Both parties according to their leaders are confident of victory tomorrow in the annual borough election It looks like what is known as democratic weather for to- morrow. The forecast says that rain is due and as the republicans rely on fair weather to bring out their vote their efforts will have to be increased If the saying that has been applied so many times to elections holds true to- morrow.
 The social given by the Republican club at the rooms in Wallace block this evening was attended by a large ana enthusiastic audience. In addition to the regular rooms the large auditor ium belonging to the Odd Fellows was thrown open to the club Here refresh ments were served and several most interesting speeches delivered F. A. Wallace, president of the club, in his address impressed upon the members the importance of voting the straight ticket and said that if every republi- can did this, victory was assured Short speeches were also given by C.. isaEIs Tibbits, candidate for warden, Will liam H.

 Tomorrow, the Wallingford High school eleven will go over to Cheshire and show the farmer lads how to play football. They will leave the school at 2 o'clock in one of c.

They beat Choate to the tune of AS to last week while w H. s. only won from Choate by a score of IS to 5, therefore the local boys will have pretty hard time to win. Harold Lane, one of High schools best men, will be unable to play on account of conditions in studies. The rest of the lineup will be the same as in the game against Choate with the exception of Elford Steele, whose place will probably be taken by D.. Parker.

THE SELLs-FLOTO SHOWS
Performances VIII BE Given Monday

Now m the cheerful circus
press agent with his first aid to the
children. The Sells-Floto shows in
augurate their annual travelling sea-
son this year with the most costly,
gorgeous and elaborate display ever
seen under the enormous canvas.
The sells-Floto shows have grown
to such magnitude as to necessitate
enlargement in every department.
And this famous amusement institu-
ton is proud Of its home, and while
IN tour is ever a standing reflection
of Denver's industry and genius.
The menagerie alone is nearly
double its former capacity, for dur
ing the winter the old world has been
secured thoroughly for wild animals
and strange beasts of every country,
and now this attractive and highly
educational department is complete
in every particular. The cages, vans,
chariots and tableaux cars are all
new and especially attractive in won
drous architecture, conceded by all
showmen to be unequaled by any
other firm, corporation, company oil
syndicate.
II has taken many years and sew
eral fortunes to place this department
on such a lavish magnitude, to tickle
the fancy and satisfy the mind of thu
generous public. When witnessing
the grand street display from which
no revenue is derived-only the graf
ification to please both young and oil
children-remember that what fol

torious. In the main tent many ney
features will surprise and delight tn,

CO HE general opinion prevailing in
the village and mountains that
Dan Kirkwood was a notorious
moonshiner, and got his money from
the proceeds of some carefully hidden
distillery, where his abundant crops of
corn were converted into Illicit whisky,
while universal, had no positive ground
to go on, except that Dan was undoubt-
eddy a rich man, and no one knew how
he got his money.
So rumor had it that not only was
Dan captain and ringleader Of a band
of moonshiners, but that in his early
days before he came to the mountains
swinging along the high road one day,
whistling a marching tune, that he had
served his term in the penitentiary as
we'll as the army, for breaking into a
bank or burglarizing some rich mans
residence. The latter tale was started
