All talk of coutest!ng the election seems
TO be dying out. the defeated candidates
apparently realizing that such Il course
wCuli he frultltss. IN view of the enormous
piU-aiitics by which the Democratic ticket
was elected. The Republicans openly an
Eource that they will make no contest. They
say. after a full consideration of the vote,
that Il contest would be ridiculous. especial
ly in view of the fact that the Republican
vote in the wards IN North and South st.
Louis, where they expected their majoritias,
were completely dlssirated by the Meriweth-
er vote.
Meriwether and his supporters arc stiIl
considering the advisahility of making q
contest With them it appears to be q case
OF "Bsrkis is wil!in'." but the great trouble
is to get the wherewithal TO make the con-
test. William 4. Erandenberger. who was
q candidate for City Collector on the Meri-
wether ticket. said Saturday: 1T will cost
at least $4,000 TO make a contest, and 1t will
be 4 difficult matter for US TO raise that
amount. The Republicans have given up
completely. and we can look for no assist
ance from them. Sunday we will hold a
meeting at Masonic Hall. when definite ac-
tiol will be taken. It's an awful sum of
money we will have TO raise, and, though
We believe that our ticket was elected. we
may decide not TO contest. in view of all
the Conditions existing"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Nation, Ill, April 6.-Shumway. a goodly
sized town in bingham County. has solved
the problem of municipal government at
small expense. 1t has one saloon, conduct
ed by a German, and he pays 500 annual
license for the exclusive privilege of SELL
ing liquor in the city.
Every cent of this revenue is expended
in constructing brick sidewalks, and over
three miles of walks have been laid. The
Mayor and Aldermen receive no salary. NO
police are employed. as each Alderman is
policeman. as well as the saloonkeeper. The
City Clerk receives but SIS a year, and he
IS the only officer drawing a salary.
When a man gets drunk the whole popu-
lation turns out and assists in lodging him
in the cainboose. where he remains until
sober, when he is fined, and the proceeds
go to build walks and improve the thor
cuchfarer.

The "Crnne Dance"

From the Chicago Record Herald.
There is dance called the crane dance.
which is popular at the vaudeville houses
At Lincoln Park there is a real crane
which does crane dance, and those
who have seen dts saltatorial feats say
the bird does it much better than do the
featherless. two legged animals
No purely initiative dancing could fail
to gain by being an exact copy of the
performance of the spndle-legged sand
hill crane. It's steps are not only grotes-
que, but they are of a kind to make the
gravest onlooker lose mis- dignity an
laugh like a delighted boy at the circus
This Lincoln Park bird at the outset
of his dance is the REORGANIZATION OF
dignity When In the days of his freedom
he trlpped II on his native sandhills for
the Eole benefit OF his mate, he did so
only in the epringtime. but now. in mis-

him will but wave his arms and take
an awkward step or two 10 give him en-

The crane begins his dance by showing
one long leg with its claw attachment,
straight out in front of his body Then
he lowers it and draws II back slowly
until 1t Is within an inch or two OF the
ground. Then there is a quick double
shuttle, and the other leg is pointed 10
the front. Then the dance begins in
earnest. The wings are stretched and
beat the air in perfect time TO the move

slow. There Is the semblance Of a clog;
