The many friends of Oscar S. Perkins and wife sympathize with them in the irreparble loss of their two children—all they had,this week. Little Elsie, aged 5 years and 3 months, died at the home on Mulberry street Wednesday morning, of scarlet fever, and on Thursday morning Charles T., aged three years and 10 months followed his little sister to that beautiful shore where they will be forever at rest and safe from tbe temptations and troubles of this world. They were bright children, adored Dy their parents, and beloved by all who knew them. But it Is only the brightest and tbe best who are taken, and it is only those who have suffered a similiar loss who can appreciate the utter desolation of life to the parents who looked forward with so much pleasure to the future of their darlings. But death is inevitable, and must come to all, better probably when a prattling ohild than at years of matenty—who knows?

The old officers of the Terre Haute oompany were re-elected last night, as follows. ,. V- ,r
President—W. P. IJasos. Treasurer—Jacob Baur. Secretary—Charles Baur.
Tn answer to an Inquiry in regard te the mechanics lien law passed by the last legislature, the attorney general has written aa opinion that the law is presely the same an it was at the close of the legislative aession of 1889, namely, that lumbermen or material men acquire a lien upon property by giving the usual notice required by statute. The last Legislature attempted to repeal a section of the law, but succeeding only in repealing a repealing aection of the act of 1885, and as the amendment contained no provision for reviving any part of the section in question, it amounted to nothing at all. A further effort waa made during the late session to repeal another aection, but the statesman who introduced the bill got things mixed and named a section which never had existed. The Legislature passed his bill, but it had no effect, owing to tbe mistake, and the law stands precisely as it did before tbe General Assembly began tinkering with it.
