TECUMSEH. Neb., Sept. H.-(special.)-
Two or three years ago Judge and Mrs.
John Wilson, now deceased. made a trip
from Tecumseh to Alaska In search OF a
son whom they had not seen since he was
young man. He ran away from home
many years ago. The old people felt they
were not long for this world, and as they
had considerable property and no other
near relatives they were particularly anx-
ious to locate the son, John Wilson, at
that time. One day this week a gentleman
passed through this city on a Burlington
passenger train. and while the train was
waiting at this station he asked some by
ISLANDERS concerning the Wilson matter He
said his name was G. r. Leake, and that
he was the man Judge and Mrs. Wilson
stopped with while In certain section
Of Alaska Mr.. Leake asserted he had seen
the son and talked with him since Judge
and Mrs. Wilson had been In Alaska, but
had failed to induce him to return to Te-
eumseh. He wanted to correspond with
the parties interested In the matter here

Marble Monument Erected the Banks
Hudson Where First Steamboat Was Run.

Just 100 years ago next August,
Robert Fulton, after many years OF
effort. succeeded in making his trip
on the Hudson in his famous steam
driven ship. the Clermont. The story
OF the birth OF steamboat navigation
is one filled with the rivalries and
jealousies Of inventors who had for
years been struggling with the prob
lem OF the application Of steam to
navigation Of ships. and the contro.
versy as to who was the original in.
ventor OF steam navigation has been
thrashed over and over from that
time to this.
But however strong the claims OF
Rumsey. who tried a steam-drivcn
vessel upon the Potomac, In 1885, or
John Fitch, or Patrick Millar or Ma

who navigated a paddle-wheel steamer
on the Hudson only n few days after
the successful trip of Fulton. II has

Soon after this Fulton returned 20
the United States and continued h n
experiments with torpedoes, and tho
government appropriated 5000 for
the testing of his torpcdoos and sub
marine explosives.
As early as 1898 Fulton had tn ned
his attention to steam navigation but
II was not until ten years later that
his efforts took any tangible shape,
Then with the financial assistanc. Of
Chancellor Livingston. he launched a
steamboat ON the Seine. which. ow-

However, encouraged by this pHf.

and returned TO this country to con
tinuo his experiments Early In the
spring OF 1907 the boat which was
to navigate the Hudson. and especially
the system of steam navigation. was
completed at u ship yard ON the East
river. The engine was put In later.
and On August II, OF that year. the
