DANA SOCIETY WORKERS
PLAN STRENUOUS FINISH

War Paint for Closing Struggle---Deter-
mined to NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. to Even
ing News NumerOus-SeVeral Com
testants Materially Helped.

Every mind is centered upon this
moment in the big struggle for a Ii
hrary. Hundreds who have not been
drawn into the conflict are watching
with more or less curiosity the field of
battle, ready to lend their applause and
congratulations to the victors, who,
by dint of faithful performance, will
carry home the spoils of war.
The Dana Relief Society are showing
alarming strength the last two weeks,
for they cast as many, if not more,
votes and the two weeks prior, and
this with two of their strongholds IN
reported. However. they should bend
every energy from now on, for they
have a majority to overcome, and it
viii take the right sort of work to do
it. A few thousand votes is not a dis
eouraging lead by any means, and it
only represents a few purchases of
everyday necessities from contest
merchants; and If the truth were
pended every day by the families re-
st. Mays church hasn't really
struck its gait yet, and the coming
week will undoubtedly produce some
thing commemorative with its strength,
for things are due to happen from that
source.
That well-satisfed candidate, the st.
Mays parish, has been dangerous
from the start. The wonderful acs
compliments Of her aggressive lender,
Rev. Father O'Conne1i, in npbnilding
the parish in his charge reflects the
indomitable will and courage which
has characterized the work for years
past, and everyone knew that when
this parish became interested in tho
church's success, the word failure
was obsolete. Like all his undertak-
ings, the parishioHers rallied to the
flag, and if there is one among them
who declines an opportunity to vote,
1T will he found 2 rare instance, IN
deed.
In looking at the calendar we find

1t was only a few minutes after
Evan Blount's train had steamed
Ophirward out of the Sierra avenue
station that a dust covered touring car
drew up at the curb in front of the In
ter-Mountain and the porter who had
put Blount's hand bag into the taxicab
opened the tonneau door for two ladies
In muffling dust coats and heavy wells.
The senator met the two late travel
ers in the vestibule, and while the
three were waiting for an elevator a
rapid fire Of low toned question and
answer passed between husband and
wife.

The husband nodded. "That was

Miss Anners was watching the eie-
vator lights glow and darken as the
car descended, and the wife's voice
sank to a whisper.
HE will be at the Weatherfords'?'
she inquired eagerly.
HE is sure to be. I told him you
would be there"
The small plotter nodded approval.
Give us half an hour TO dress and
have the car ready" she directed, and
then the senator put the two into the
elevator and turned away to finish his
cigar.

The mine owner himself would will

The reception. for which the sena-

During the journey from the capital,
which had consumed the night and the
