Albert c. Dohm Deliberately
Throws Himself on Track
and Is Ground to Pieces

Throwing himself in front of street
dar passing by his home, Albert G.
Dohm, STA Wabasha street, was in
stantly killed at 1920 o'clock yester-
day morning. He dropped fiat upon
the track and before the motorman
could stop the car, the front trucks
had ground his body to pieces.
Dohm, whose mind, it is said, was
affected by epilepsy, rushed from his
house and darted in front of an ice
wagon which was standing near the
curb. He stood on the north bound
track upon which fair grounds car
was approaching. The car which had
stopped at College avenue, had just
gained speed to climb the ascent in
Wabasha street when the motorman,
S. E. Clark, saw Dohm and checked the
speed.
Beckons to Death
1.-THE man saw me turn off the pow
er and he waved his hand to me, indi-
eating that he wanted me to go ahead"
said Clark. Thinking he was about to
cross the street and was waiting for
my car to pass / again turned on the
power and the car shot ahead. was
Mortified to see him raise his arms
above his head and take dive. In an
instant he was under the fender and
the front wheels had run over him.. I
turned the brake when saw him fall,
but the car was going quite rapidly
and it did not stop until his body had
been run over"
The catastrophe created a sensation
and a great crowd gathered about the
body before it could be removed to
the county morgue. Four policemen
were needed to keep the swarm of peo-
pie under control
Dohm was thirty-four years old and
married. He was brother of DR.. c..
l.. Dohm, and son Of the late Frederick
Dohm, an early settler of ST. Paul.
Some years ago he was employed as an
undertaken by his brother, Fred Dohm,
who died recently, but had not been
regularly employed during the past few
years.
Had Just Returned From Asylum
He had been subject to epileptic fits
for many years and his mind, it is said
was affected. Sometime ago he was
committed to the Rochester asylum
and only returned to his home in this
city last Wednesday night.
Coroner Arthur w. Miller, who made
an investigation, said that there was
no doubt that Dohm had deliberately
killed himself, though an effort was
made by his relatives to show that he
had walked onto the car tracks and
had fallen in front of the car while in
an epileptic fit.
Coroner Miller said that no inquest
would be necessary and permitted the
relatives to take charge of the remains
The body was removed to RockStroh S
undertaking rooms.

INCREASE OF SALARY FOR ALL R. F. D..
CARRIERS.I

When Congress passed the bill increasing the
salary of rural free delivery mail carriers last
winter, it was generally understood that all car
riers who had been receiving $500 a year, would
receive after July 1, 1904, $3.50 a>year. The Post
office Department, however, promulgated a salary
Observation-Disclosures in The Progressive Farmer
two weeks ago-which limited the maximum sal
airy to those carriers on routes "a miles or more
in length. This was not what the earxiers and
their friends had expected, and they Naturally
resented what seemed to be an effort to c~onstrue
the act of Congress into ineffectiveness. So
strong were the protests that the Postoffce De
partment last week virtually acknowledged it's
error by resembling it's former action, and provid-
ing that without regard to the new Bristow SEIZED
ules, all carriers who received 5000 a year to July
1, shall now receive $3.50 a year. It provides also
that all carriers appointed subsequent to July 1
shall receive salaries in accordance with the new
schedule.

SEND YOUR MONEY BY POSTOFFICE OR
EXPRESS MONEY ORDER.

We regret to announce to our readers that the
Raleigh banks have made a new rule by which
they charge five cents or more for the collection
of each check deposited with them-except checks
on Wilmington, Charlotte, Greensboro, Raleigh,
Winston, and commercial centers North. We
shall have to ask our readers therefore to make
remittance by p~ostofice or express money order
when it is not convenient to send checks on the
points just named. If checks on other banks are
sent, add five cents for cost of collection. The
Progressive Farmer is published at such q low
margin Of profit that we cannot afford to nav
this cost of collection on small checks. Two 9th
er papers published in our building with almos,
exactly the same expenses as The Progressive
Farmer charge $3.50 a year, and we cannot afford
any cuts into our low 81 rate.

be an arbitrary partisan act of the administra-
ton due to hatred of the Mississippi Governor.
Postmaster-G General Payne, however, finally gave
out an interview in which he said that his action
was due to a revolving and indecent article about
President Roosevelts mother which Vardaman
published as an editorial in his paper a year and
a half ago. And this reason, we think, is enough
to satisfy the people of the South. A true
Southerner may be bitterly opposed to Mr.. Roose-
Welt, but he is too chivalrous to stand for a min
ute for a low and scurrilous attack on the mother
of the President-a Georgia woman of loftiest
who "sympathized v%ehemently with the
South in the Civil War, and who, after she went
to the North to live, continued to love her peo-
pie" To stoop to such methods of political abuse
can only bring disaster to those who adopt them.
and Vardaman's course should be disavowed by
every true son of the South.

GOOD CROPS IN NORTH CAROLINA.

From every section of North Carolina come
reports of remarkably good crops. The only
complaint that could be made is the wall of the
ancient Persian pessimist-that such growth as
the plants are making now must be terribly wear
ing on the soil! It is true, that we have had rath-
er too much rain of late, and this has caused
corn to root less deeply than it should and has
caused cotton to make weed at the expense of
bolls. A drouth at this time, moreover, would go
very hard with the shallow-rooted corn. But
these are only fears. At present there is a unan-
imous chorus of good cheer and the outlook for
bumper crops was never finer.

YOUNG MAN, ARE YOU GOING TO FARM?

4OUNO MAN. ANE ~ OO4N0 AZ AK !
Young man, are you going to farm?
If so, prepare yourself to be a first class farmer.
IF you are going to be a lawyer, doctor, or
preacher, go to some law, medical, or theological
school and equip yourself for your special line of
work. If you are going to be a farmer, go to
some agricultural college and prepare yourself to
farm in the most profitable and scientific fashion.
There's no doubt in the world about the value
of such trainingI If one is to grow crops with the
greatest degree of profit, he must know the best
ways of tilling to conserve moisture and fertility:
he must know how to apply fertilizers without
waste; he must know how to rotate crops and
drain his soil in order to guard against the loss
of his capital-and all this is impossible without
scientific training. Ii he is to raise stock with
real success, he must know the properties and
elements of different feeding stuffs; must know
how to combine these in order to feed without
waste he must know the breeds and types of stock.
which kinds of cattle can be proftably used in
the dairy and which kinds cannot, and what feed
ing crops contain the properties needed for his
purpose: and all this is impossible without scien-
tifc training.
Now if a young man feels that he has a special
and distinct call to some certain occupation or
profession other than farming, we would not adj
wise him to ignore bis natural inclination. If a
young man, how yer, has only to choose between
city life and country life, between managing a
farm in the country and working for a boss in the
city, he ought not to be long in deciding. The
same skill and enterprise which he would apply
in the city trade will bring just as good results
on the farm. Ten years ago the outlook for the
young farmer was not very bright, but that was
only a temporary darkness. Now farm life is
more attractive than ever before. Rural mail
delivery, better roads, better schools, rural tele-
phones, ETC., are bringing to the country the
towns advantages without it's disadvantages.
Ones net yearly income will be as large on the
farm as in town-and the man in the country will
be an infinite gamer in freedom, serenity, health
and strength. Nobody is likely to get more out
of life than the young man who now resolves to
be a farmer and to fit himself to farm in the
best manner-just as he would fit himself to
preach or to practice law or medicine.
Our A. & M. Colleges in North Carolina and
adjoining States are now better equipped than
ever before to give agricultural instruction of
the highest value to young men who enter these
Institutions. Every young man who even thinks
that he might possibly take such a course should
at once obtain catalogs, etc., and see with what
small expense an agricultural education NAV he
obtained.
If you are going to farm, prepare yourself
to be a first class farmer.

of surrender owing to starvation. Fol
