MRS. MERRIAM FUNERAL
Well known Topeka Woman Lived a
Life of Beauty.

When the soul of Mrs Everett b.
Merriam passed the River Styx, there
went from this world the actuat1ng
spark of a life noted for its sincerity.
its thoughtfulness for Others and for
it's beauty
Is Mrs Merriam was born in Water
bury Center, VT, in 1885. She mar
ried Everett B. Merriam in 1859. and
in the fifty-six years of her married
life she bore six children, three of
them now living and IN Topeka. The
surviving children are Frank D. Her-
RAM Carroll B. Merriam and Mrs.
Charles NJ Sheldon.
Mrs. Merriams maiden name was
Sarah Dillingham;, and her uncle, Paul
Dillingham;, was at one TIME the gov
ernor of the state of Vermont and later
United States senator. Paul Dill
lingham's son, William P. Dillingham;,
is just now entering on his third term
in the United States senate. Zebuton
Pike, the famous explorer of the
northwest territory, was also a close
relative of Mrs. Merriam.
, The funeral of Mrs. Merriam was
held Tuesday afternoon from her
home, 1921 College avenue The cas-
ket was literally buried under the
flower tributes sent by the family
friends as a slight token of the sorrow
felt in her death.

nv the Associated Press.l

French troops in the Woevre have
enlivened the virtual inactivity on the
western front by successfully COM
pleting a sortie into the German lines
east of st. Mihiel. The German posi-
lions on a mile front were penetrated
and $50 prisoners and some machine
guns captured. After destroying the
defenses and shelters the French re
turned to their own lines.
The French also made an attempt
against the enemy lines near Ammerz-
wiler, in Alsace, according to Berlin,
which claims the thrust was repulSed.
Paris announces the checking of Ger
man attempts in the region of Mont
Teton in Champagne. Meanwhile the
artillery duel northeast of Verdun and
in upper Alsace continues active.
German Attack Fails.
German troops in local attack east
brai, entered the British trenches, but
a counter attack elected the enemy
who left eighteen prisoners in the
hands of the British. Berlin reports
the failure of a British thrust on the
Boesinghe-Staden railway, northeast
of Ypres. The German artillery is
still active in the Ypres sector.
Bad weather on the Italian front
has reduced infantry operations to a
minimum but the artillery is busy on
the northern line between ASlaSO and
the Piave.
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, in
his review of the 1917 campaign up
to mid November says that the addi-
tional strength the Germans have
gained from the Russian and Italian
failures has largely been discounted.
He declares that the ultimate destruc-
ton of the German armies have been
brought appreciably. nearer. The Of
fensive campaign planned for 1917
failed of completion but on the west
ern front the allies gained the VIC
tories of Arras, Why's Messines.

which is effective January II, follows

much as they sold. Those who have
been bearish were said to be rather friendly
to the buying side on the late decline. An
impression rev called at the last that oats
should sell lower. altho the tendency to
oversell on breaks is said to put the mar
