The omcc of lion il the Blood.

Iron exists in the blood in the red cor.
puscics, and gives them color and the
power Of absorbing gases. The fact that
peroxide of iron is one of the readiest
absorbcnts of gases, and parts with them
rs readily on exposure in thin layers to
the air, so that it can be used over and
over again for that work, gives clew to
its special function in the red c0rpuscles
Of the blood. 1t enables them readily to.

Minute blood.vcssels OF the lungs and to

acLd in exchange for the oxygen it
yields up, and to convey to the lungs
that portion OF this substance which is
expired.

Col. woodford's Lectures,

Col. W0odford's Lectures.
In st. Paul's NJ. E. church, ON Wednesday
evening, at O'Clock, Col. Woodford deliv-
cred another of his popular temperance
lectures. There was fair audience and
the attention was steady throughout. The
lecturer, after referring to the several Or
CARNATIONS that have been and are now
engaged in this work, dwelt at considerable
length, and in his usual striking and pun
gent manner upon the distinctive and popu-
lar work of the w. G. T. U. His descrip-
ton Of the work of this society in Chicago
was exceedingly interesting, and will form
a model for work in Helena, where so much
need for it exists.
No other temperance society has such a
hold upon society, and none else is doing SO
good a work. They lend helping hand to
women as we'll as men, and seek to give
those who are down an upward and sus-
tanned start to new and better life. The
lecturer made an earnest appeal on behalf
of the w. G. T. U. of Helena, which cannot
but result in great impetus to the work in
our city.
Those who do not attend these lectures
miss great Intellectual treat, a. we'll as
strong incentive in the line of moral and
spiritual culture.

THE SANE OLD STORY.

A Young Montana Couple Married Under
Romantic Circumstances.
The sequel to little romance occurred
in Helena yesterday by the marriage eff John
Byrd, 'well-known and popular young
rancher of Beaver creek and Miss Ina Kim
oaid of York, ono of the most popular bellies
of Meagher county. The young peo-
pie were married at the parlors of the Mer-
chants hotel yesterday afternoon by tho
Rev. A. D. Raleigh of NJ. E. church. James
Scully, head clerk, was best man, and Mrs.
B. Hamilton stood up with the bride. Cap
tain G. w. Lyons of Butte and Major Rob-
ert G. Walker, secretary of the Board Of
Trade, were witnesses to the ceremony.
The young couple had known each other
since childhood, and about a year ago be-
came engaged; but upon hearing this the
parents Of the girl, who is just 18, stoutly
off communication betweed the pair. The
brothers and sisters of the young woman
favored the marriage and assisted the young
people in every way. The result is the same
old story. They planned an elopement
and successfully carried it through. About
O'Clock yesterday morning Miss Kincaid
rowed q wagon and span of horses, and
ascertaining her mission stranger, who
happened to be at the place, volunteered to
drive the young woman to the nearest rail-
road station, which was Townsend. It was
raining hard all night, but this was only
q trif1ing matter to the runaway girl who
was soon to meet the man of her choice and
he too was travelling on horseback from an
other direction through the rain and ar
rived at Helena early in the morning, ready
to meet his bride who reached here ON the
afternoon train. Safe from the clutches
Of ira9e parents they lost no time IN sealing
ular legal and binding fashion, first secur-
ing license from the district court and the
pronouncing of the matrimonial ceremony.
The couple will remain in Helena few
days to await the subsiding Of the storm
which is supposed to be brewing at the girl's
home, then they will 60 home to be forgiven
and wished much joy.
