FOR HOME INDUSTRY.
Action Taken Last Night to Protect LO-
cal Manufacturers.

| hotIVu tdhon hdsI NiSHb W 1IVVcVI bU-
cal Manufacturers.
As announced in yesterdays
LIGHT meeting of local manu-
facturers and business men was
held last night. The meeting was
called to order by President j. N.
Brown, of the Business Mems club,
| and Secretary Irvine stated the
object OF the meeting. He called
attention to the progress made by
the home industry movement
within the past month and urged
the encouragement OF home indus
try. He said that the proper thing
to do is better advertise home man
ufactured goods, as many people
don't know what is manufactured
at home. He believed in printers
ink and that the newspapers ought
to give more editorial notice to the
movement. He mentioned the
fact that local manufacturing firms
which cry for home patronage send
to the north to have their letter
heads printed, and that
merchants and manufacturers
who are crying for home
patronage, give the local box fac
tories a black eye every time they
can. He advised that action be
taken to protect home manufac-
tured goods, and said that the
cornice man, the cement man, the
brick man and others may think
they are not In 1t, but when this
movement shall cause a thousand
more men to be employed, houses
to be built and building material
to be used, then the community
will arise to demand home flour,
home cement, sash, doors, etc.
President Brown suggested that
appointment OF a committee to
investigate cases of fraud on the
public as to home made goods. The
executive committee was in
structed to investigate such cases.
Mr.. J. j. Peterson reported that
he is now preparing a card with
an alphabetical list of names Of
home made articles and the manu-
facturers to be furnished to every
house in the city, and plan was
endorsed.
Secretary Irvine was instructed
to ascertain what rate would be
made for an alphabetical list of
home made articles with the
names Of the manufacturers, to be
published by the newspapers.
Mr.. Burnett moved that the
manufacturer be requested to
close at p. m. on Saturday to en-.
able employees to attend the Home
Industry mass meeting at San
Pedro park September 26 at p. m.
Mr.. w. A. Lewis made q motion
that committee be appointed to
call on the merchants and dealers
and secure promise for them to
handle home made goods. Mr..
Lewis was appointed chairman
with power to select such commit
tee.
Secretary Irvine reported that
about 1000 seats are available for
mass meeting at San Pedro park
Saturday night and 1000 more
chairs are to be secured.

SKELETON FOUND in A CLOSET
Story of Mans Dual Life Made
Public in Indiana.

Story of Mans Dual Life Made
Public in Indiana.
Indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 16.-Bar
tholomew ID. Brooks, the young and
prosperous proprietor of planning
mill in West Indianapolis, has Great
ed something of a sensation by de-
claring himself the son of John N.
Clark, who died at Shelbyville a few
days ago, and thereby reveals the pc
culiar story of Clarks life. Brooks
has laid claim to the estate of Clark,
and says he will have no difficulty in
proving that he is the dead mans
son.
According to his story his fathers
name was Peter Brooks Thirty
years ago Brooks was employed at
Burlington, n. j.. by DIR. Wright, a
maker of vegetable pills. He swim
died his employer i'm the purchase of
goods, and upon discovery of his
crOOkedness fled to the west, leaving
his wife and son. He went to Hi
nois and took the name of Clark. He
remained in communication with his
wife, and finally sent for her. and
she came west, settling in this city.
Clark married in Illinois a Miss A.
manda Todd, without the formality
of getting a divorce from his first
wife. Upon pretense of still lodging
the law in New Jersey he did not
take his first wife to his home, but
paid her occasional visits. In time
she made the discovery that he had
taken another, wife, and the second
wife also found out all about her huS-
bands life. Strangely enough, each
of the women kept the secret in her
breast, but the original wife never
had anything further to do with
Clark, while the second lived with him
until his death. The son, however,
paid more or less frequent visits to
Clark while he remained in Illinois.
and later, after he removed to Shell
byville. His last visit of any length
was three years ago, and he declared
that he was always received and
treated as a son. He attended his
fathers funeral in Shelbyville, and
while there filed claim to the estate.
