choice may not be apparent to all.
The following is offered in eXplana-

Every Township was represented on

steadily in view by all.

less change has been made let 1t be re-

CITY OFFICERS.
New Mayor and COunciImen to be
Elected in Dhcemhar.

Two months hence local politics in Olym-
pia will be interesting. On the first Tues
day after the first Monday in December,
new city officials including four new coun-
cilmen wifi be elected. Two of the present
councilmen are successors to those chosen
at the last election. M. A. Root was chosen
from the Third ward, but because Of a
change of residence to the Second ward.
was succeeded by Robert Marr, George D.
shannon, of the Second ward, was sue
ceeded by L. j. McBratney, because the
former was interested in the contract for
lighting the city, which was contrary to the
provision Of the charter.
Councilmen are elected for two wears sd
that half Of their number go out each year.
Last year being the first election under the
new charter, three Of the regular members
serve but one year, as does also the coun-
Gilman at large, which is Mr.. Perciyal. In
deciding who should serve the short and
who the long, lots were drawn and Messrs.
Shannon, Root and Murphy drew the short
term, consequently Messrs. Mari and Nc
Bratney, the successors to the former two,
go out with Mr.. Murphy.
Mayor Horr and all other officials also

FEAST FOR SPIRITS.
OLYMPIA CHINAMEN SEND MES.
SAGES TO DEPARTED BRETHREN,
A High Time atythe Celestial Bury
ing GrOund--wine, Cigars
ana Sweetmeats for


Yesterday was one of more than ordi-
nary note. 1t was one Of The three occasions
of the year when Cinnamon visit the graves
of their departed brethren and convey to
them messages of love and remembrance.
This ceremony occurs in March, June and
October of each year, and after the more
solemn part of the proceedings are dis
posed Of they go in for good time. Wine
flows like water, and cigars are generously
distributed among any visitors who may
have the good fortune to be present.
About twenty of the celestials were driy-
en- to the Chinese burying ground at the
top of Ayers hill yesterday, where lie the
bodies of eight Of their brethren. They
were accompanied by J. B. Blodin, fore
man for Foster & Laberee and by Henry
Kirkendall. With them they took enough
provisions to feed small regiment. Roast
pork Drowned to a tinish roast chicken,
apples, rice, wine, cigars and delicacies of
all kinds.
With shovel they first cut pathway
or gutter around the graves so that il
touches the head and foot of each grave.
Then red candles are placed in rows and
permitted to burn during the entire cere-
mony.
On the ground are placed eight little cups
filled with wine and each Chinaman present
one or two at time, kneel before the cups
or go through the motions which are sup
posed to invite the spirits from God. The
motion is simple, the Chinaman, as he
kneels, swinging forward three consecutive
times, bowing his head to the earth. Then
on rising, he spreads bis feet apart, and
swings his clasped hands to and fro, as one
does in preparing heavy stone.
After some prayers, the solemn part of
the service is followed witha small fire in
which are consumed innumerable letters to
the dead, the letters being written on paper
especially prepared for the purpose. Every
yestige of paper is destroyed. The services
being over, the Cinnamon proceed to make
away with the provisions they have taken
with them. Anybody who is present
is eourteously invited to join them. The
remaining. wine is poured upon the fire,
but all articles Of food are carefully collect.
ed and brought home. The next celebra-
tiOn will occur in March
