SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.
George D. LOOMS Believed to Have
Met His Fate In South America.

George d. LOOMS, the former well
known Salt Laker, who absconded In
the summer Of 1898, with $4,000 be-
longing to the Utah Central railroad,
Is thought TO be dead IN South Amerl-
ca While there Is no absolutely GER
tain knowledge as to the Identity OF
the man who Is supposed TO be LOOMS,
there are many strong circumstances
indicating that 1t is he.
Last summer man who had re-
turned from South America happened
into the Deseret Savings bank and In
meeting the cashier, Judge Elias Smith,
he told him that he had met man
on the west coast of South America
who seemed very familiar with Salt
Lake. The man went by the name Of
Browne, and from the detailed descrip-
ton the stranger gave OF him, Judge
Smith concluded II was LOOMS.
Just day or two ago G, M. Wood
local cashier Of the New York Life IN
surance Co. met Judge Smith and drew
his attention to a letter he had just
received from the New York Office stat
ing that the man known as Browne
was dead and ON his person had been
found q letter written TO him from
New York and containing this sentence:
You say you know Charley Burton
and Spencer Clawson Of Salt Lake
City" The name Of the writer was
torn from the letter.
There is a strong conviction that the
dead man was LOOMS and that the
letter was written to him warning him
that the people in Salt Lake had To-
Gated him,
LOOMS was clerk IN the district court
In this city and was prominent In
political and social circles He was
appointed receiver for the Utah Cen
trail roaroad, and during that period
he left for an alleged business tour
through the East, and It was several
weeks before his friends realized that
he was an embezzler
Two years ago LOOMS was seen and
recognized In London. He later APP
peared IN South America, and many
believe, there met his fate.

In view of the great age and the ru-
morcd fceblcncSs and iii health Of Leo
NH. one of the most timely articles in
American Review is the paper on The
Next CoGciavc," by Il. de CcSare. q prOmi-
nent member of the Italian Chamber of
Deputies. Although the number of for
cign Cardinals is but little inferior to that
Of the Italians, SignUr,dc CcsHrc expresses
the confident opinion that the next Pope
will he an Italian. He does not think that
the COnclayc will make its choice from
Cardinals prc-cnlnIrnt in intellectual!
powers. and therefore neither Cardinal
CaEccclatro nor Cardinal Parocchi, the
most enlightened members of the great
Senate of the Church. will be elevated to
the Chair of st. Peter. The most prob
able nominees are Cardinal GOtti Il brother
of the Order Of Barc Footed Carmelitcs. and
Prcfcct of the Congregation of Bishops
and Regulars. who is g years old; Car
dinaI Nannutclli. of the same age, who
is Chief PcnitcntiaFy and Bishop of Fras-
cati: Cardinal Nampa. Archbishop of Bo-
logna. who is only - years old, and Car
dina s;arto, Patriarch of Venice, who is
GJ. One or other Of these would probably
adhere in a general way to the policy of
the present Pope, hut Cardinal Gotti is Il
violent anti-American, and if he were
Pope, he would be likely {" abandon the
prudent ccursc followed by Leo Mi with
regard to American affairs and perhaps
have recourse to extreme measures which
might breed disturbance

About Tadpo!es and Frogs.

Mary Rogers Miller in the November
Country Life in America tells the Life
Story of the Frog" and the pictorial story
of the growth from the wiggling tadpOle
through many stages TO 4 large, jumping,
croaking frog, is given In about 80 superb
photographs of the beasts alive in their
watery haunts, by \. Radcliffe DugmOre.
"a frogs egg" says Miss Miller, looks
like small black bead. Great numbers Of
these are found together. surrounded by
quantity of the jelly. As the sun warns
the eggs feel its qnickcning force and de-
yelopmcnt begins. In the course of a week
or two the tiny ia ipoleS squrm free and
swim away in the pond. If taken from
the water they would die as quickly as
one of us would if forced TO exchange
places with them. Lungs for air-breathiGg
are fast replacing the gillS which did duty
in the tadpOlc stage. The young frog fre-
quently pOkes his nose out of the water
as his lungs grow more lung-like, to try
them. The mouth, too, must widen and
the eyes grow larger and more bulging.
When all this is complete, the tail Will
no longer stand in the way.
THE little tadpOle or polliwog, has no
family ties. He wOts nothing of brothers
and sisters. He goes to no school save
that of daily experience. Today fish may
teach him how TO dodge, or his own grand
! but in both cases it is to escape making
meal for his teachers that he lodges
or dives. The main business of the day
lis eating-or being eaten. If he escapes the
latter for six weeks or two months the
common frog finds himself possessed Of
| two hind lcgs-latcr of two front ones.
| Then his tadpole days are over and he
enters into the state of frOghOod.
"Of frogs there are many kinds, in
cludinG the giant hoarse-vOiced bullfrog,
which is said to attain a length of twenty
| two inches; the leopard frog, the green

The command came sharp and clear
through Mr.. Dcwey'S trumpet. As sharp
the words We're repeated by the various
officers in charge of divisions; the royals
fell to a perpendicular and were lowered
on the run; down followed the big top
gallant yards. The latter had not yet
reached the deck before the enormous
maStS were upliftcd and came slowly down,

one, but no one thought of. or cared for,

the utmost tension. In less than two min

was stripped and everything housed neatly.

The young man fled from the deck above
to escape a shower of missiles, aimed bg
his scotlng mcssmates.
On the fOrecaStle, in the aftcrguard, and
up in the tops the eXuberance of feeling
manifested itself in much the same way.
The jest and attempt at wit may have
had a roughcr edge, but before and aft OF
