American railroads. So long as this great sys-
tenn was managed by one head, unity Of manage

TO stockholders. Now that the management
passes into other hands, wider interests come in,

sCHNELLE'S PATERNITY
And Its Probable Bearing on the Cause
OF the Murder.

Since the publication Oi the murder in
Yesterdays REGISTER it has become gen.
orally believed that DR.. Schucbardt was
the father of Gueniher Schnelle.
and later developments go to con
firm this belief. Guenther said SO.
and when Robert was asked if they
were brothers, he said they were children
of the same mother" When Fred
Schnelle, the father, was on the stand yes
terday, he was asked the question: as
Guenther Schnelle your SON. TO this he
would return no direct answer. He spoke
in German, and the Interpreter said his re
ply was: Nobody kROws that but nay
wife, and who can say unless she tells
differently"
This will have an important bearing on
the case and will, at the proper time, be
sifEed TO the bottom. 1t is now the current
belief that Guenther, repealed at his moth.
ers, sought his fathers home and was in
turn repealed there and that, as he said. he
killed the Doctor for refusing to acknOwl.
edge him as his son. In delving Tor mo.
Nes, this will surely be brought out.

LETS TALK ABOUT THE WEATHER
Brief chat About the Beautiful,
springlike Season.

March Il.
This is spring.
How does it please you?
The days and nights are equalized in
length to-day.
The mercury had descended to q at
o'clock this morning.
The budding cherry trees had best hold
tack for just little.
The almanacs inform us spring begins
to-day, but We doubt it.
The anxious young man has passed a
s!cepless week and ordered his spring suit.
Easter will apparently not be the best
day in the world to eIhibitsprin modes.
Tie sun shown merrily, yesterday, but
the air was chilled by the rapid thaw OF the
snow.
The buster is not quite ready to replace
the ulster, even il the latter is little
shabby.
'Old Probs." can discount Virgins; he
predicted this weather to a most remark
able nicely.
Already millions of little apple blossoms
are forming, destined in three months to
double up many small boy.
This is brilliant weather for colds, and
physicians and undertakes have still q
chance before green fruit comes.
The creek had thin skim OF ice yester-
day in testimony OF the frosty hug 1t had
received during the previous night.
To-day, or thereabout, the SIN skips
across the vernsl equinox. Sometimes
that means storms, but perhaps not now.
Sunday last. which was Palm Sunday,
was fine day, auguring seven successive
Sundays equally fine. This is the German
superstition. With others Easter is the
index day. One is as unreliable as the
other.
This kind Of weather brings few charms,
but it has one. The snow drove the noisy,
opspinning. SKINNY playing, bicycle-ri-
ding crowd OF kids from the Capitol pave
ment, and the hard worked employees get
little peace.
At this writing it looks favorable for
more snow. The sky is overcast, and the
moon, which fulls to, morrow, is concealed.
We have had enough snow for March. and
little clear, fair weather would be accept
able.
The indications to day are that.in the
Lower Lake region there will be partly
cloudy weather, variable winds, mostly
from the north to east, stationary or ris-
ing barometer, and stationary or higher
pressure.
For Tennessee and Ohio Valley. partly
cloudy weather, with occasional light rain
or snow, variable winds, mostly from the
north to east rising temperature, and sta.
tionary or rising barometer.
