Aberdeen herald. [volume] (Aberdeen, Chehalis County, W.T.) 1886-1917, 1894-08-16

Yesterday the sad news was received
that Herman Richau had committed sui
eide at the asylum that morning. He
was out walking with an attendant when
he made an excuse and asked to be per-
mitted to step to one side of the road for
a moment, where he severed the jugular
vein with Il pen knife. Mr. N. w. Bush
left for Steillacoom this morning and will
return with the body tomorrow evening.
The funeral services will take place from
the Congregational church in Aberdeen,
at 93O a. M, Saturday, August 1s, under
the auspices OF Aberdeen lodge No. 81 ,
A. o. u. W., OF which he was member.
The interment will take place at Monte
sano, the steamer Josie Burrows leaving
with the cortege at 10 80. Rev. F. X.
Van Tassel will conduct the services.
Herman Richau was born at Blotto-
bruck, Prussia, in September, 1850. lie
had been an honored and respected citi-
zen OF the county for several years, first
at Montesano, and for the last three years
in this city. He leaves wife and four
children, who have the sympathy of the
entire community.

The Deal COnsumated.

The negotiations which have been fol
some time pending in connection with the
West mill have at last been completed
and today s. Z. Slade becomes a half
owner in the property. The citizens last
week raised nearly the required amount
to pay the additional claim Of DIR. Book
Upon Mr.. Books return this morning he
promptly met the committee, and liber.
ally donated the balance, and the papers
are now being prepared and will be put
in escrow this afternoon.
The mill will be remodelcd, made two
stories high, fitted with band saw, and
in every way made TO compete with any
mill on earth, These Improvements will
cost $1,000, and will probably require
three months time to complete. 1t will
first be started up to cut material for the
improvements. Here's congratulations
to all parties interested and to the city
thanks to the citizens who have made the
deal possible; and success to the West
Slade combination. May the good Lord
bring us more as good.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There is only one way to cure Deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inhamed condi'
ton OF the mucous lining cf the Eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound o,
imperfect hearing, and when it is en-
tirely closed Deafness IS the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored 10 its normal con.
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous surfaces.
We sill give One Hundred Dollars for
any case OF Deafness Caused by catarrh

preston of Trashy Story Papers.
Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, March 8.-A number of
wealthy and we'll known citizens, who
for the present do not wish their names
to be known, are now organizing in this
city for n rather remarkable purpose.
AT the first glance this purpose may
strike some as unnecessary or absurd,
but that is not the belief of men who
have given the matter careful thought
The 80 called family story papers" and
flash "boys' papers" circulate 100000
copies every week and are read by Mt
least 6,000,0 900 of young and middle aged
people, or about one-eleventh of the
whole population of the country.
The publishers of these papers, almost
without exception, have made enormous
fortunes, and their annual incomes are
very large. The stories they publish in
serial form are entirely devoid of lit
erary merit. But this is not their greatest
defect. The stories are intensely sensa-
tional. They give false ideas of life;
they degrade tho character of the habit
ual reader and unfit him for reading any
thing that is not impure and high fla
vored.
The probabilities do not enter into con-
sderation with these writers. They ex-
haust the possibilities in their so called
plots, and while avoiding obscenity,
which would make them amenable to
the law, they are full of more danger
Gus and corrupting suggcstiveness. The
most profitable contributors to this de-
basing class of periodicals are women.
Men arc good at stories Of adventure and
travel or i'll describing impossible detect
ives, but the love stories are the great
fenture-the drawing card-and these are
done by women.
The effect of these papers on the char
acter OF the young cannot be overesti-
mated. They have made and are max
ing criminals of thousands of boys each
year and sending IL greater number of
young girls to ruin. The effect of these
papers, which no intellectual person ever
touches, is great for evil
AT present the law cannot interfere
with this class of publication, and it is
doubtful if any law can be passed that
will bring about this suppression. The
organization mentioned proposes to down
them or make them cleaner by rousing
public sentiment against them. Parents
In humble circumstances are to be in
voked TO watch over what their children
read but such people are not competent
Judges i'll such matters. But that it is
