Important to Guardians.

Sections 165 and 166 Of the new Pro-
bate Code of Minnesota contain the fol-
lowing, Of which every guardian in the
state should make note.
Sect. 165.-Every guardian shall an
nually return an account to the probate
court under oath, specifying therein
the amount Of property received by him
and remaining in his hands or invested
by him during the year, and shall show
in detail his receipts and disbursements
for the current year, and description
of all the property remaining in his
hands, belonging to his ward, and at
the same time the court shall examine
into the suficiency of his bond.
Sect. 166. When any minor ward
under guardianship arrives az full age,
or when a female ward under full age
marries, or when any person under
guardianship as an insane or other in.
competent person has been restored to
capacity, the guardian Of such ward
shall render his final account of guar
fdianship TO the probate court and turn
over all the property in his possession,
Belonging to the ward, to said ward.
Upon the filing of said final account
of his guardianship with the probate
court, with petition for final settle.
ment and allowance, the court shall
make an order fixing q time and place
Of hearing on said petition and the set
lement and allowance of said account;
a copy of said order shall be served
upon such ward at least fourteen days
before said day of hearing, if he be
within the state, if not by publishing
the same according to law. (When the
final account is allowed the probate
court makes an order discharging the
guardian.)

The Railroad Meeting.

If any one in New Tim doubts the
possibility of holding an enthusiastic
gathering incur city, that person should
have attended the mass meeting at Tur-
ner Hall last Thursday evening. No
sooner had the notice of meeting to
discuss railroad matters been given,
than unusual interest was stirred up in
the affair and not only the business
representation but nearly the whole
Voting population of the town was pres
ent. The meeting was opened by the
selection OF Chas. Wagner as chairman
and Wenzel E"ks.ein as recording sec
retary. All was unanimity and harmo-
ny on the question at Issue, and, when
a resolution was introduced by MIR. ia
cobs to the effect that it was the sense
of the citizens of New Ulm that new
road, competing with the Northwestern
tand furnishing direct connection with
1St. Paul, was highly desirable aud a
thing to be sought for even with a bo-
mus, not one word was uttered in OBJ
Election and the motion was entered on
the record as without opposition. The
expression OF the people once arrived
at, il was easy to proceed. A commit
tee OF seven were appointed by the
chairman, consisting Of VIM. Pfaender,
Peter Scherer, S. d. Peterson, T. Schu-
bert, Henry Crone, Jos. Eckstein and
"a. Bogen, whose duty it should be
ito devise plans and schemes for secur-
ing the new road and do all in their
power to carry them out. This is the
first step towards accomplishing the
proposed move, and we hope it will sue
sceed. The committee contains good
men, and in their endeavors they
should receive The hearty cooperation
of the citizens of New Ulm. The plan,
as5delineated to some extent that eve
ming, seems to hang on the condition
that the Rock Island will buy the Min
sneapolis & ST. Louis system, which
runs two roads from ST. Paul to the
south. The purchase has not yet been
made but the Rock Island has its eye
on the system, and, if anything is done
at all, it will be done shortly. It is then
proposed to bring influence and induce
ments to bear on the new managers to
rot +bor, -, ,avtopd +bo;r i,,e, f,<,Y,, Nov.
ikato to Winthrop through New Ulm.
Gould this be effected we would then
have there outlets to st. Paul and two
to Chicago. It would give us competl-
ton on all sides and that is the plum
we are striving for. Speeches were
made on the subject by Jacobs, Bogen
and Eckstein all of whom made clear
the necessity of a new road and the
feasibility of obtaining il, and made
their points with well directed effort.
The latter's roasting of the Board of
Trade however can hardly be considered
we'll taken. It had good deal the tone
Of self glorifcation on the one hand
and spite work on the other, and we
fail to see how remarks of such char
acter could further the purposes for
which the meeting was called.
