idea is rapidly gaining in favor, and lay
men, no less than physicians, are coming
to recognize that the open sleeping room
is the proper place for person suffering
from pneumonia, just as 1t is for one af-
1lcted with tuberculosis. In the last
couple of years the open air treatment for
pneumonia has practically abolished the
idea that the patient must be kept in a
close, hot room, where breathing would
he none too satisfactory even for persons
in normal health.
Warren G. Plummer, journalist, ora.
tor and Civil war veteran. died Feb. 10th,
at a soldiers home in Fairfield, Maine.
"Parson" Plummer, as he was fsmiliarly
known throughout the oil country, was
a pioneer journalist in western Pennsyl-
vania and New York, having been con-
nected with papers in Reno, Pithole, Pc
troleum Center, Titusville, Tidioute,
Meadville, and Richburg. He went TO
North Dakato, where he engaged in the
newspaper business, and later won a ma
tional reputation as a stump speaker. He
was aged 70 years. To those of the old
guard who knew the genial "Parson" the
news of his death will come as personal
loss.
The sessions of the Farmers Insti-
tute, which was held in the court house,
Monday and Tuesday of this week, we're
very interesting to all who attended. The
attendance at all the sessions was larger
than ever before, thus showing that the
farmers of Forest county are alive to
their needs and interested in securing
better conditions on the farm. Prof.
franklin Menges, Prot Charles F. Noll,
Clarence G. McCurdy and L. b. Dorset,
the state instructors, gave many practical
and helpful talks. They we're ably as
sisted by number of local speakers.
The entertainment provided at the two
evening sessions attracted large audiences
and the institute as whole was one of
the best ever held here.
The snow blockade on the b. q o.
railroad remains unbroken and it is f0nr
weeks today since train of any sort mas
been over the road between Clarion juno
ton and Kane. The merchants of Mar
ienville are hauling provisions and other
supplies from Loleta and the mail comes
in via the same route. All mail for Ty-
lersburg and great scope OF country ad-
iacent thereto goes through the Tionesta
postollice and the mail carrier is hauling
out great loads of mail each day. Super
intendent Gibson of the Tionesta Valley
railroad says they are having more
trouble on that line with snow than at
any previous time since his connection
with the road. The road is kept open,
however, and trains are running every
day.
"A strange case Of mistaken identity
came to light this morning when Charles
Keck. of Sherman, N. Y, arrived here
and started in to call on some of his
friends. Mr. Keck was an old Warren
resident and was formerly member of
Eben N. Ford, G. A. r. Post. He left
Warren number of years ago and was
not heard from until one day the Post
Commander received notice of the death
of Charles Keck, at Cory, The body
was brought to Warren and inferred in
the soldiers plot in Oakland with military
Donors. Today Mr.. Keck arrived in
town and refused to be told that be was
dead. The Post officers are now wonder
ing who is buried in Oak land and will
endeavor to find out.-Warren Times,
