Major Strait.
From the Chicago Inter Ocean.

rIOLn tle CnAcdeO 1nCer ocean.
The Republican newspapers of
the Second Minnesota District are
discussing the Congressional record
Of Major H. B. Strait, who repre-
sented the district in the Forty.
third, Forty-fourth, and Forty-ffth
Congresses, and who is the nominee
of the Republicans this year. The
fact has been developed, it would
seem, to the satisfaction of. all, that
his services there were of very
practical and useful nature, not on.
ly to his own State, but to the
whole Western country. On the
credit side of his account may be
put the following bills, which have
become laws: To encourage the
growth Of timber on Western prai-
ries; for the relief of settlers on rail.
road lands; for allowing settlers to
take 100 acres Of land within rail-
road limits; to extend the time of
payments to settlers on government
lands; for the relief of persons
whose crop had been destroyed by
grasshoppers; to provide for the e.
rection Of government telegraph
lines in Montana and Dakota, and
some other measures of like kind.
All this is legislation of a very prac-
tical nature and Straits services as
a Congressman are OF the kind, evil
IDENTIFY, of which the growing West
stands always in need.

A Chinaman,s Funeral.

Lee Wan, a Chinese grocer of this
city, was buried yesterday, in Ever
green cemetery, Brooklyn, with all
the peculiar rites of the Chinese.
On the way to the cemetery paid
sad faced Chinaman, seated beside
the driver of the herase, threw slips
of rice PAPER into the street.
At the grave Lee VANS clothing
was burned, and rows of candles
and punches of slow matches were
inserted in the earth at the foot Of
the mound and lighted. Rice,
chicken, mutton and tea were then
placed beside the grave. After the
Cinnamon had bowed and saluted
the dead man, and poured tea upon
the earth above him, they drove off
smoking and chatting.
One Of the Cinnamon said that
had there been a native priest in
New York he would have been en-.
gagged to recite prayers over the
grave, but there was neither a joss
house nor q priest Of the Confucian
religion in this part Of the country.
The body Of Lee Wan, together
with the remains Of other Cinnamon
lying in Evergreen cemetery, It il
said, will be eventually returned ia

The Minneanolis Exnos;t

The Minneapolis Exposition
which closed last Saturday was the
most successful fair ever held in the
Northwest. The weather during
the entire week was clear and pleas
ant and the crowds, especially on
Tuesday and Friday. when the 20
mile races came off, were enormous.
The exhibits in all departments
were splendid and everything had
been arranged IN the incest order.
The accommodations for getting
to and leaving the grounds were
ample and Col. King and Chas.
Clarke left nothing undone to make
the visitors comfortable when once
inside of the enclosure. The 20
mile race on Tuesday was won by
the California girl, the Minnesota
girl being thrown from her horse,
on account of the saddle being bad
ly girdled, in the early stages of the
race, and the California girl was
excused with the conclusion of her
tenth mile. The same girl that
won the race on Tuesday also came
out victorious on Friday, but the
Colorado girl, although also detain-
ed by mishaps, made good run.
Owing to a h avy gale on Saturday
st. Julien did not succeed in beating
his own time, although he made the
mile in 2:13. The fair was great
success in every respect and the
managers deserve great credit for
their management Of the same.

Patent Flour,

Almost everybody knows of pa
tent -four, but not everybody un.
derstands what it is. Stripped of
technicalities, this is about the sto-
ry of it's manufacture: The best
used to be made of winter wheat.
Spring wheat yielded either much
less in quantity, or else so much of
the bran got into the. -four in it's
manufacture that its color was in.
tolerably dark. The wheat would
be ground then bolted. In the re-
fuse--the bran and midalings-
would be included a large proper
ton of the weight of the spring
wheat, and this would sell particu-
larly for feed for horses. Now the
best of -four, and the most expen.
sive, is made of this very refuse of
the old-fashioned process. It all
came out of a discovery Of the way
to draw out the bran. Under the
new prscess the wheat is ground
about as before. The first result is
an ordinary flour sold for exporta-
ton. Then the remainder is taken
and put upon great hori zontal sleeves
and while agitation is going on
there an ingenious system of draft
is rushing through and carries off
the bran. What is left is the glut-
nous portion of the wheat, the
most nutritlos and most productive
and out Of this, purified now by
drawing off of the bran, we get our
new process -four. The result of
the discovery of the process has
been to make the poor spring wheat
Of Minnesota and upper Wisconsin
the most valuable kind of grain.
