WILLIAM WEIGH.

ain life we are in the midst of death"
No longer ago than 1896 those who were
acquainted with the deceased, saw a
strong, robust young man and little
thought that in five years he would
have passed away. But that dread
disease, consumption, fastened its fangs
upon him, and he has been slowly but
surely declining until Sunday morning
June 2, the sad news of his death was
given us by his brother Dave.
William Welch was born May 18th,
1863, in the very house where he died,
one mile southeast of the village. He
has spent the greater part of his life in
this section. Several years ago he mar
ried the woman who has since been
loving and devoted wife to him, Miss
Fannie Williams. She with two child
ren-a daughter Fay and son Will
besides large circle of relatives and
friends are left to mourn his early de-
mise. The funeral services were held
at one o'clock on Wednesday afternoon
from the house to the NJ. Il. church at
which place Rev. Durr preached very
fitting sermon. The interment was
made in Elmwood cemetery under the
direction of Yale Tent, No. Sc, KOTM,
of which society he was an honored
member and held policy for $1,000.
The large number of friends and neigh
bors that were present to pay their last
respects to the departed, was evidence
of the high esteem in which deceased
was held by people in general.
Below are resolutions of coincidence
passed at the last review of Yale Tent:
Whereas ithas pleased the Al-wise Father to

resolutions be spread upon the record of the

virtues, that a copy be transmitted to the family

Arthur B. Comstock greatly sur

Saturday morning by returning home
from Bay City with a blushing bride,
formerly Miss Mildred Irwin, to whom
he was married Thursday evening,
May 23d, by Rev. VIM. Ward, at the
NJ. E. parsonage at Bay City. The
bride is not stranger to Gaylord peo-
pie, having clerked in Kramers store
about a year ago, and has since been
employed by Romer, Lowell 81 Co. at

a Great Success.

One only needed to attend the Third
Annual Sale held by Mcintyre " Har-
ris last Saturday to be convinced that
judicious advertising pays. This firm
had spent week or more, previous to
the sale, driving through the country
posting bills announcing the sale and
doing their work thoroughly. The fact
that the town was thronged with peo-
pie that day is sufficient evidence of
the worth of advertising. Every busi-
ness place and firm of Yale derived a
benefit on account of the large crowd
in town. Mcintyre and Harris are
we'll pleased with the success of the
sale. About $1,000 were realized and
the goods sold consisted of fifteen bug
gies, thirty.five Deering binders and

THE MAIDU MUSICAL BOW.
A Curious Indian shape of the In
strumenf.

(Roland p. Dixor, In Science)
In view of the present discussion i'll re-
gard to the existence of the musical bow
in America, and of its independent de-
velopment on this continent, the occur
renee tquite rare at present, however,,
of a form of this instrument among the
Maidu Indians OF Northern California APP
pears worthy of a brief note.
The bow as used by the Maidu is 4 sim
pie bow of cedar, some two and one-half
feet in length. at present strung with
wire. but formerly with fine sinew cord.
In playing the instrument it is held in the
left hand 1.-THE hand grasping the centre
Of the bow, thumb inside and palm fac
ing forward. the bow extending horizon
tally to the left. The right nand end Of
the bow is placed in the open mouth. and
the bowstring tapped rapidly with "A small
flexible twig held in the right hand.
BY varying the size of the resonance
chamber Uhe MOUTH with the aid of the
tongue, and by opening. or closing the
mouth to a greater or less extent notes
are produced as in a jewsharp. The
tones are. however, very faint, and are
audible only at a short distance.
The use of this bow. known as "kaw-
otone panda," is restricted to the medi-
cine men or shammans, ana other per-
sons are rarely allowed to see and never
70 touch the instrument. The sacredness
of this bow. the fact that it is used by
the medicine men only i'm communicating
with and praying to the "kukini' or spir-
it's. and that its manufacture is accom-
panied by ceremonial observanccs. inciud-
ing the rubbing of the bow with human
blood-all seem to point to the bow as
being of native origin. The limited con-
tact of these Indians with the negro. and
the place held by the instrument in the
religious life of the people, here as well
as elsewhere in America, would seem to
bow is on this continent the result of
aCCulturation.
