Aledo, July 80 (SpeciaD Word
has been received in this city of the
death of Mrs. Arabella C.. Thomp-
son in Los Angeles, Cal. Mrs. Thomp-
son was the wife of the late Judge
John S. Thompson, who so years
ago owned the land where the city
of Aledo now stands. He had this
land laid out and in one day sold
it for 100000. He also built the
American Central railroad from FIT.
Wayne to Council Bluffs and later
sold 1T to the c., B. & Q. Mr.. and
Mrs. Thompson went to California in
1863 and purchased a large tract of
land upon which the city of Los An
geles now stands. Mrs. Thompson
was the first president of the Ladies'
Aid society of the First Presbyter-
ian church of that city. She and
Mr. Thompson being the organ
ganizers of the church. Mr.. and Mrs.
Thompson spent much time and
money, in charitable work. Mrs.
Thompson was an invalid for some
time before her death. Burial was
in Los Angeles.
Mysterious Accident.
Mrs. Ida Wells of Evanston, Ill,
was called to Aledo Tuesday by the
serious condition of her mother, Mrs.
Sarah Boney, who was found by her
neighbors Monday afternoon in an
unconscious condition and badly
bruised about the back of her head:
Medical aid was called at once and
her wounds dressed. Mrs. Boney has
now regained consciousness, but has
no remembrance of what happened
to her. 1t is thought that she fell
down the cellar steps, as the blood
on the floor indicates that she must
have been there, but when she was
found she was lying on the couch
in her sitting room and perfectly I'M
conscious and her clothing covered
with blood. A little boy of the
neighborhood had been there at noon
and remembers that she started for
the cellar as he left but Mrs. Boney
has not been able to recall her going
to the cellar or her return to the
room above. Her condition is now
considered much improved.

ShiDWOrnlS.

In popular terms these creatures are
called worms. But there are two. and
one is not worm. 1t is an insect
Teredo navalis is a worm 1imnoria
terebrans is an insect. The teredo
uses submerged wood as a habitation
that floats against its mouth. which
protrudes a little while feeding from a
very small hole in the surface of the
wood. Operating just within the sur
face and alorg the grain of the wood,
as it grows IL length and diameter, 1t
has some means of cutting away the
wood so as to adapt the dwelling to its
varying size. The extension of its
body in length is invariably in the di-
rection of the grain, or fbers, of the
wood. 1t has generally been thought
that this cutting was done by boring,
and this in spite of the doubt cast upon
this theory By Sir William Thomson
in 1897. 1 do not think anything in
the nature of a boring apparatus has
ever been observed upon this worm. 1t
carries upon its anterior extremity.
where all the cutting is done, short.
shelly structure, but it is not of such
of wood by boring The cutting is
all done at and within a short distance
of the anterior extremity of the worm
The remainder of the hole, as far for
ward as the orifice in the surface, be-
ing coated with calcareous tube,
which the worm builis Ia deposition.
The probability is that the creatures
exude from the anterior surface of

a pulpy matter, to be mechanically
elected into the water through the
feeding orifice.-General W. A. Jones,
