Boy a Neurasthenic.

A new theory that IS given consid-
cradle credence is that Seinsoth was
neuraSthenic, and that while laboring
under morbid and respondent rnooc
he had wandered about until worn our
and exhausted under the nervous strain
he had lain down in the road and
dropped into the sleep of the frozen
DEATH
This theory is supported by the boys
temperament in life, and is not con-
fiicted by the purchase of the acid. It
was learned yesterday from intimate
friends of the family and boy that he
was of such an abnormally sensitive
nature, shown more particularly in his
extreme shyness, that a cross word or
the thought that he had displeased
would wound him to the quick and
bring the tears. He was of that fine.

rough jostling of the outside world, and

this known quality and a knowledge of
his nature, the suggestion is advanced

money, Seinsoth probably began wan
dering about in a state Of mental
anxiety. This worry may have carried
him to the point of temporary mental
responsibility in which he purchased
the poison with the intention of COM
hitting self-destruction. On this theory
it might be that he raised the vial 10
his lips, only to withdraw IL and throw
ii from him, in which action a drop
was spilled on his chin, causing the
only visible designation on his BODY.
Then. still laboring under his nervous
mental torture, he continued bis wan
dering until in a paroxysm of grief he
threw himself on the ground, where
the snow became his shroud.
Rumors Are Denied.
The family of the dead boy refute
several rumors which were given pub
lfoity yesterday TO the effect that the
boy had twice attempted suicide. One
story was to the effect that he had
jumped into the Jordan river, near his
home. in an attempt to end his life,
and was rescued by passing teamster-
People to whom this story was ac-
credited, however. denied il. and no one
could be found who could verify it, AT
the family home William Scarlet "a
brother-in-law. and William Seinsotn,
Jr.. a brother Of the deceased boy. were
emphatic in their statement that no
such incident had ever occurred. Gr.
Scarlet recalled to mind that last
summer while some boys. among
which was Charles, were playing about
the bridge, one of the boys fell into the
river and was pulled out, and IL rs
thought that the rumor might have

Charles Washington, the colored
man. who was the last person TO be
seen with Charles Seinsoth before his
death, and who voluntarily submitted
himself to the police when the sus-
picion OF foul play arose, was released

lease he talked with members of the
family of the dead boy and repeated
substantially the same story told to
the police when he was taken into Gus
tody. Mr.. Scarlet last night said he

Ever since the New Drug Maizene. for
Kidney and Bladder Troubles, was intro
duced, some months ago, the F. J. Hill
Drug company. Willes-Horne Drug COM
pany, F. c. Schramm. and other first

rectly upon the elimfnative tissues of the
Kidneys, forcing them to filter the poi
sons from the impure blood. preventing
Rheumatism and other diseases arising
from bad blood. Maizene also acts upon
the Bladder, and 1t is claimed to prevent
any Acalculous formations. The manufac-
turers of Maizene put it up in one-ounce
bottles only, all ready for druggists to
dispense, or you can take the original
package home and mix il yourself. Each
ounce makes a pint of Kidney mixture
At the very first signs of backache. which

integrity, square dealing and prompt
meeting of all obligations, great and
small.
There is no secret in the success of
this man. There is no ''get-rich-quick
scheme in his system of doing business
He has been content to succeed in a
modest way: to succeed without grind
ing the faces of his fellow men; to live
and let live. AS a result, he enjoys the
whom he has done business since his
modest beginning. He is now at the
head of a substantial institution, one
that promises to develop into a good
field of activity for his sons, who will
soon be in position to share the respon-
sibilities with the father.
There is a good moral in the record
of this man in these days of rush. John
Holly is a Utah boy. He was born in
Weber county, and lived there until he
married. Twenty-Five years ago he came
to Salt Lake City. and for sixteen years
thereafter conducted butcher shop on
the west side. Quick to see a good thing,
he realized that there was money in the
commission business. In ten years he
has built up splendid business from
this modest beginning. He has worked
his way up till he is looked upon as one
or the largest and most successful pro-
duce commission men in Utah, and be-
cause of the care he exercises in his
business, and the integrity with which
he meets all obligations, he has come to
enjoy the patronage of the best hotels.
