HN OLD SETTLER GONE
The Man Who Supervised the
Building of Fort Ripley
Killed by a Car.

Yesterdays Pioneer Press pub
fishes the following account of the
death of Richard Wilkinson, who
will be remembered by many of our
old settlers:
Richard Wilkinson, one of the pi-
oneer settlers OF Minnesota, died
yesterday morning at the city hos
pital, it is thought, from the effects
of injuries received Jan. Is by being
struck and knocked downby aComo
avenue car at the Ryan hotel corner.
Mr.. Wilkinson resided on u farm in
Dakota county, near Hastings. On
the day of the accident he was in the
city, visiting his son, Thomas Will
kinson, employed by the city as Il
fireman, and stationed at fire head
quarters. The old gentleman was
crossing the street in front of the
Ryan hotel when the car struck him.
He was picked up in an unconscious
condition and taken to the city hos
pital, suffering from bruises on his
head and the upper portion OF his
body. He regained consciousness
but did not recover his health, and
at 5 O'Clock yesterday morning he
died. The body was removed to
Dampier's undertaking rooms. where
Coroner Whitcomb will conduct an
autopsy at 9 O'Clock this morning,
andifitis shown that Mr.. Wilkinson's
death was caused by injuries received
by being strnck by the street car, an
inquest will probably be held.
Mr.. Wilkinson was sixty-eight
years of age. He settled in Mime
sOta with his family in the early sos,
and, being a carpenter by trade, he
supervised the construction, in 1861,
of Fort Ripley. Several years later
he settled Oh a homes tead in that
part of Minnesota afterwards en-
braced by Dakota county, where his
family, consisting OF two sons and
and three daughters, was reared.
The two sons, Leslie and Thomas,
came to St. Paul, where the latter
secured a position In the fire depart
ment, and Leslie was employed as
a driver by Schroeder, the liveryman.
The funeral announcement will pe
| made later.

Who Went to the Worlds
Fair?


Fair?
The answer by gate receipts would
be that about forty million people
passed into che portals of the White
City. AS that number would be two
thirds the total population of the
United States, we must reject it. If it
meats that forty million different in
dividuals visited the fair. Probably
the larger portion spent from four to
five days in the visit. and calculating
that each paid for one admission
day, we should have an estimate OF
eight to ten millions Il attendance. As
this would amount to from twelve
to fifteen per cent. of our people we
conclude that at least one person
from every two families has seen the
greatest exhibition of modern times.

What are the Resulta !?

What are the net results of the
late postOffice indignation meeting?
Don't all speak at once.-M Orrison
County Democrat.
The above question i'll a recent
issue of the Democrat reminds the
people OF this city that there was q
protest against the postoffice re-
mOval, and the results are about as
noticeable in securing the de-
mands made as they were
OF the petition that was circu-
lated by the editor of the Democrat
asking the authorities not to allow
the removal. It is evident that the
powers that he in the ruling party
have entire trust and faith in their
representatives at Little Falls, and
that the interests of the Office holders
are considered as more important
than the interests of the citizens of
the city. OF course it is unfortunate
that the interests and desires of the
majority of the people of the city
differ from the personal interests
OF the postmaster, and that he
considers it advisable to conduct a
public business SO as to discommode
the patrons OF the Office in order to
aid him in renting an old public
building owned by himself.
But the met results" OF any move
for justice have been a statement.
over the postmaster's signature
that:
We are the postmaster. Wedon't
pretend that we sought the appoint |
ment just for the fun of taking in the
mails, distributing the letters and
papers and handing them out to the |
expectant public. We acknowledges |
candidly that without the salary
that goes with the Office we Wouldn't
have it. We have worked all we
propose to in this life simply for
sweet charity's sake and the love of
"der dear beeples." That stuff is
.'Worn out at the elbow" and "don't
buy frocks for the babies.''
In another communication Mr..
Medved also assured the public that
the whole matter was simply an
Effort to get up fight between the
French and Germans. The official
plums were too valuable to permit
that, though. All that Mr.. Medved
wants is his own sweet will about
Che offices he controls, and he
feels competent to reward
MS supporters with votes enough to
make the trade an even one. In the
exchange of these political courtesies
t is not always apparent how the
onolIc's interests are considered, but
lie faithful shall receive their reward,
lhere are many indication that it is
better to look at matters as Mr..
Medved does. For instance, Mr..
-harles Gravel, was one of the very
ew prominent French citizens who
lp1eld Mr.. Medved in his high
handed course in removing the post
'hce-yet his support from the LIST
ward at the coming election (when
'e is a candidate for alderman at
arge) will show that his friendship
or Mr.. Medved was appreciated.
This Is case of reward; cases of
punishment will also be exhibited by
he same power at the proper time.
