The Akron band expects to begin its Saturday evening street concerts in
about two weeks, weather permitting. The boys have been practicing
regularly and diligently through the winter under the efficient instruction
of Director Darville and they expect to pleasantly surprise the “natives” by
their improved playing. The band will be a little heavier expense this year
than last and it is hope the business men will feel justified in a
continuation of liberality toward the organization.
Fred Peterson and family, of this city, are much concerned over the serious
illness of his niece, Mrs. John Ericson, and her son, who live five miles
south of Alcester. About two weeks ago they were taken suddenly ill from the
effects of what appeared to be poisoning, which can be attributed to no
other cause than eating canned salmon. Doctors from Sioux City have been
called in consultation with the attending physician and they have been
unable to do anything for the relief of the suffering woman. She is
apparently at death’s door. Her son, whose illness developed into spinal
meningitis, is improving slightly and there is hope of his recovery. Mr.
Ericson has not been ill and it is not known whether he partook of the
salmon. Mrs. Ericson’s father, John Henry Peterson, a pioneer of that
locality, died last summer and Mr. and Mrs. Ericson moved from Alcester in
February to the fine farm he left.

Many farmers in this vicinity have been seeding the past week and quite an
acreage of wheat is in the ground, but the two inches of slushy snow that
fell yesterday afternoon and last evening means nearly another week of delay
in farm operations. The ground now surely contains an abundance of moisture
to make things grow.
Wm. Mollhoff, a well-known farmer near Chatsworth, was operated upon here
for rectal cancer by Dr. Warren, of Sioux City, assisted by the local
physicians last Friday at the office of Drs. Cilley & Kerr. His condition
was very critical, but he is now making improvement. He is being cared for
in a room in the rear of the doctor’s office and a trained nurse from Sioux
City is in attendance. Many friends wish him speedy recovery from the
ailment that has been troubling him the past two years.

The Register-Tribune is this week mailing statements to all subscribers who
are at least a year in arrears. The amounts are small, and it is the hope
of the publisher that each will give them the same prompt and courteous
attention as in the past. That the Register-Tribune is growing in
popularity as a home newspaper is amply proven by the fact that more than
fifty people in this locality have subscribed to the paper without
solicitation since the first of the year. A well-known farmer northeast of
town, who subscribed yesterday, said he had never before taken an Akron
paper in his 30-year residence here. The Register-Tribune is proud of its
rapidly increasing family and is anxious that all who owe for a year at once
get back on the “honor roll.”

her profession in Spokane and Medical Lake, Washington, the past year.
The fact that there are fifteen cities and towns in the United States named
Akron, leads to frequent mixups in the mail and transportation services.
One instance of much annoyance came to light here Tuesday, when a young
immigrant from Sweden named Oskar Leonard Carlson arrived here only to find
that his real destination should have been Akron, Ohio, where he has
brothers and sisters awaiting his coming. On one end of his trunk was a
board upon which was burned his full name and his destination, Akron, Ohio,
in plain English lettering, but through some misunderstanding his ticket
read to Akron, Iowa, and his trunk was cheeked from the immigration station
at Ellis Island, N.Y., to Akron, Iowa. The baggage check and his name plate
were on the same end of the trunk, which appeared rather a ridiculous
combination at this end of the route. Countrymen of the young man assured
him that everything would come out all right and took him in charge until
Depot Agent Searls could secure transportation for him back to the right
Akron. When he finally arrives there, safe and sound, he will have an
interesting letter to write back to the old home about the several-hundred
mile extra ride he had out into the great middle west, without cost except
his time.

last page of this paper.
A painful and peculiar accident befell the young son of Mr. and Mrs. J. W.
Frerichs, east of town, Saturday. The boy went to the barn and climbed up
to get something on the wall. He slipped and fell and a nail partly driven
into the wall penetrated deep into the palm of his hand. There the boy hung
by the nail until his cries brought help. It was necessary for Mr. Frerichs
to cut away the wood around the nail with a knife before the boy could be
released. Dr. Cilley was called to dress the wound and no serious effects
resulted.
Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Searls and family northeast of town, received the sad
news of the accidental death last Thursday of their little granddaughter,
the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Eaton, aged nearly six years, at their home
near Pecatonica, Illinois. The child had driven some pigs through the farm
gate, when a heavy gust of wind swung the gate with much force and struck
her in the back. When her father arrived from a nearby field, the little
girl was lying on the ground and the gate was wedged so tightly across her
back that it required considerable force to remove it. No bones were
broken, but the cruel blow knocked the breath from her body and it is
believed she died almost instantly. Howard and Miss Libbie Searls left here
Saturday for Pecatonica to attend the funeral of their little niece. Mrs.
Eaton was formerly Miss Belle Searls and her many friends here extend their
sympathy in this sad affliction.

an experienced photographer.
The troublesome Big Sioux River has been steadily falling since Sunday and
is again at a stage where most of the water is running through its natural
channel. A small washout at the approach of the lower bridge was repaired
yesterday so that teams can cross, but the grade northwest of town is still
in very bad shape and a great deal of water is running swiftly through the
deep channel out there, so that a great deal of repairing will be necessary
to place the road in passable condition.

certainly wrong, if not criminal.

Jacob Herbst last week brought to town some meat of a calf which he had
butchered. The veal was extra fine, but it seems that the calf was somewhat
of a freak in that it was very small. He purchased the mother of the calf
from John Miller just before the latter moved to South Dakota. The calf was
perfect in every respect except in the point of size. It weighed when five
weeks old only 60 pounds and a normal calf at that age should weigh nearly
200 pounds. Mike Treinen purchased some of the veal and he says that it was
the finest that he had ever tasted in the veal line.
John Niseius was telling here the other day of how a farmer living near

loss to understand the cause of their deaths.To all appearances they were

account for the trouble so last week when another one died he opened the
stomach to see if it had fed on any foreign substance that would kill it.
He found in the second stomach a formation of a substance that he could not
define of about the size of a large coconut. The ball was perfectly hard
and showed that the cattle had been in some manner eating something that
would not digest properly any with the result that a ball would form. He
opened the stomach of another steer which had died and found that it
contained two formations of a like nature, one large and one small.
