Funny Show.

There will be big doings at Fargo
college tonight, when the third an
lnual stunt" night takes place. stunt
night has come to fill an important
place in the college activities and is
always hailed with great amount of
expectations. There are some twenty
organizations of various kinds at Far
go college and tonight each one of
these will put on a stunt.
The annual funny show is one of the
biggest events of the school year. To-
night will be an exceptional funny
show No one knows exactly what
each organization will put on, the idea
being to spring as many surprises as
possible. There will probably be some
high class vaudeville together with a
mock marriage and many other such
foolishnesses. The show will be held
in the gymnasium where a stage has
been arranged. The stunts begin at
s o'clock sharp.

WAS BURIED At MINOT
The Body Of George D. corIss, Who
Dropped Dead at Minot, Was Laid
to Rest Yesterday.

Elias Miller. manager of the Acme
Harvester Co. interests in this city.
attended the funeral of George D. Cor
liss at Minot yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Croliss dropped dead a week ago
last Sunday. He was an employe Of
the Acme company and was a man
of unusual size, being only few inches
over five feet and weighing over $50
pounds. There was no casket in Minot
that would do for his body and one
was sent for from Minneapolis. Il
arrived last Thursday That night the
undertaking establishment in which the
body had been placed was burned and
the casket destroyed, but the body was
saved. 1t was necessary to send to the
twin cities for a second casket and it
did not arrive until Sunday night
This was what caused the delay of the
funeral The Acme company betrayed
the expenses of the funeral, as Mr.. Cor
liss' friends resided too far away to
be present at the last rites. The re-
mains were laid to rest in the cemetery
at Minot with appropriate ceremonies.
