though Mrs. Doufex is said TO be from St
Paul Mimi, and to have sister who is o
nun in Wisconsin convent
Two unsigned letters in the dead man's
coat have been secured by the police and
are being used in efforts to unravel the
tragedy. Both letters were written by a
woman. One severely criticlses Rigdon
and the other addresses him in endearins
terms.

SIXTEEN NOBLE ANCESTORS.

Berlin-"HaS she sixteen an cestors?" was the question whispered today at the kaisers court at POtsdam at the wedding of the kaiser's cousin, 1 Prince Frederick of Prussia. The bride was Princess Agatha Charlotte Pauline | Marie. a princess of Ratibor and Cor vey, and of Hohenlohe- -Schillingfuerst. She is 20.
 of course every one has sixteen an cestors and as many more ds can be traced in the direction of Adam, but the guests at the kaiser's court were thinking of noble ancestors, with pat ents of nobility in regular form which could be produced if any one wanted to see them. The courtiers wished to be certain that the wedding Of a Ho- henzollern prince with Princess Agatha would not bring a drop of any other color into the blue blood of the Hohen- zollern family.
 This point of equality of birth is the first that arises when any marriage is projected in any of the aristocratic families of Germany, and endless are the losses of prestige and position to which German princes or princesses are exposed if they marry beneath them. Ebenbuertigkeit (equality of birth) is the first condition 70 be full filled in all German imperial, royal or nable marriages.
 The question as to the ancestry of Princess Agatha would not have arisen but for the fact that on her mothers side she is descended from Hungarian stock and that among Hungarian princess and magnates cases of in equality of birth not infrequently oc- cur. On her fathers side there is no cause for cavil. Her father is the Duke of Ratibor, an old Bavarian fam fly. whose duchy is situated in Upper Silesia. It contains about eighteen square miles and something more than 30,000 population.
 On her mothers side Princess Agatha is Hungarian. Her mother, Countess Bruenner, was the eldest daughter of Hungarian count and through him she is connected with the select Hun garian families of Esterhazv, Festetics and Szechenyi.
 A book might be written on the re- lationships that exist between mem bers of the various reigning families of Europe. indeed very little ingenuity would be required to show that they in effect form one huge family. Among other things, this fact tells in favor of European peace. What is especial ly interesting about the marriage of Prince Frederick of Prussia and Prin- cess Agatha of Ratibor is that it con meets for the first time the Hohenzol- Tern family with the bluest blood of Hungary.
 The bridegroom, Prince Frederick William, is the youngest son of the deceased prince regent of Brunswick, Prince Albrecht of Prussia He was born in 1880, studied iE Bonn universi- ty like almost all sons of the German aristocracy and later entered one of the imperial regiments of the guards at Potsdam. He has now the rank of

An Excellent program Before a
 Large Crowd.

The Osborn school district did not lose it's head yesterday because of the fight, but went on with its Fourth of July celebration just as if the eyes of the rest of the world were turned toward it instead of toward Reno. No body in Osborn cared anything about the fight, or enough about it. at any rate to telephone to town for returns until its celebration was over. It was more intent upon the celebration of the matter in hand than on the fate of the hope of the white race"

FINANCIAL UPLIFT FOR
 THE COLORED RACE
Faith Pinned on Johnson Productive
 of Results.

A great deal of money changed hands in Phoenix as a result of the prize fight. Generally the bids were at shorter odds on Jeffries than pre- vailed at the betting centers of San Francisco and Reno, several even bets on the result were recorded.
 The colored people Loyalty supported the hope of the black race" John Lewis, of the Fashion barber shop, is said to have considerably more than doubled his entire previous worldly wealth, for he had bet everything he had on the result and would have mortgaged all he expected to be worth within the next ten years.
 Another winner was Joe Jackson. colored, employed at the Alhambra brick yards, who, he announced, was a race pride man, beside being game. He placed one bet of $7O0 at the best odds he could fine, of to 10. on John son, and made several minor bets so that his winnings amounted to a little more than $1,100.
 Some money was lost after the fight was over and the result had been an nounced One Phoenix man of sport ing proelivities was appraised of the receipt of the flash, "Jeffriees knocked out in the fifteenth round" He interpreted it to mean that bet ting outside had got slow and that the flash was a fake intended to jar loose some more Johnson money.
 He could not conceive that such q message could be genuine and he ac- cordingly began offering money on Jeffries He had no difficulty in find ing takers who assumed that the flash meant exactly what it said.
