Mechanics tien Law.

From the Indianapolis Journal We
earn that Law was passed at the recent
session Of the Legislature, with the pro-
1isions of which il is worth while for
mechanics and furnishers I
Of material to become acquainted.
The new Law is an amendment of Sec
lions GAO and $50 of the Practice Art, !
which can he found on page 2s9 o: Ga |
sin & Hord's compilation of the revised
statutes. The amendment to section $40
are as follows:
/. The notice that the owner will be
held responsible for the amount due to
sub contractor, journeyman or laborer,
may be given to an agent if the princi
pal is absent, with the like effect il serv
ed upon the principal himself.
2. The notice, when given, holds the
owner responsible for the amount that
may become due under the contract Or
employment, SIS we'll as for money due
at the date of the notice.
And the following addition to the sec
ton secures the rights Of sub-contrac-
tors. and furnishes the means to prevent
contractors from receiving the benefit OF
their labor and materials without com
pensation:
..Any sub contractor, by giving notice
as above, setting forth the amount Of Ia
Dor or materials he has engaged to per-
form or furnish in the construction or re-
pair of such building, shall haze the same
rights and remedies against said owner,
for the amount of labor or materials per
formed or furnished after said notice, as
are above secured andprovided for those
who serve notice after the work is per-
formed or material furnished"
The section $50, which prescribes that
any person wishing to acquire lien as
provided in the preceding section, shall
file in the Recorders office. within sixty
days after the completion of the build
ing or repairs, notice Of his intention to
hold a lien upon the property for the
amount Of his claim, the following ad
dition is made:
"And the liens SO created shall relate
to the time when the work upon said
building or repairs began, and to the
time when the person furnishing mate
rails began to furnish the same, and shall
have priority over all liens suffered or ere
ated thereafter, except other mechanics
and material mems liens, over whic b
there shall be no priority.
These amendments will make it in
cumbent upon the owners, purchasers or
mortg gees Of buildings in the course of
construction, or undergoing repairs, to
ascertain whether the claims Of mechan-
les, contractors, sub contractors. labor
ers and material man have been paid, or
otherwise to run the risk of paying tn EN-
in addition to the purchase money. The
claims of these classes will stand upon
precisely the same footing as exis ting
mortgages and judgments, and the pur-
chaser or subsequent incumb rancer must
take the property subject to their pay
ment Nor will it be safe for owners of
property to contract with builders who
are irresponsible, unless they reserve the
rightto withhold payment until all claims
of sub contractors, mechanics, and per
sons furnishing materials are paid, Or to
pay such claims themselves, or deduct
them from the contract price of the
work

POSITIVE AND WEIGHTY REASONS, prompt
ing to the patronage of western Com
panies."
The stimulating power of increased capital
is the great lodnt Of the West today.
Money is wanted to subdue our forests and
bring our prairies under cultivation. to de-
velop our vast deposits of mineral wealth,
and to turn to practical account our lumber
and timber grOwths; money is wanted to inn
prove the water power OF our rivers and
build mp manufactures of orr wool, wood,
iron and grain; money is wanted to increase
and cheaper the facilities of Transporting
and handling the various products of our
farms, mines and forests; and money to
erect school houses and churches for the
proper training of our men and women.
CAPITAL THAT NIGHT BE KEPT AT THE WEST.
We're the millions of dollars annually and
needlessly sent East for insurance accumula-
ted here, this lack would be measurably sup
piled.
Especially is this true of Life Insurance
premiums, for the present payments are to
be invested and accumulated to pay losses to
occur through many future years.

Consumption Durable by Dr. SchenCK' s
Medicines.

To cure consumption, the system must b
prepared so that the lungs will heal. To ac-
c0mplish this, the liver and stomach must
be cleansed and an appetite created for good
wholesome food, which, by these medicines
will be digested properly, and good healthy
blood made; thus building up the constitu-
ton. Schenck's Mandrake Pills cleanse the
stomach of all bilious or mucous accumula-
tons; and by using the Sea Weed Tonic in
connection, the appetite is restored.
Schencks PulmOnic Syrup is nutricious as
well as medicinal, ana by using the three
remedies, all impurities are expelled from the
system, and good, wholesome blood made,
which will Tepel all disease. Ii patients will
take these medicines according TO directions
