Prunes Are Coming in in
Large Quantities The
Days Quotations.

Prices held steady in the local mar
kets through the day but all Of the
dealers report an abundance Of every
kind of fruit and the stock of all OF
the stores well supplied.
Prunes are coming in rapidly now
and making their way to the eastern
markets. The Boise Cold Storage
company is icing 30 carloads Of prunes
every day and sending them on to
the buyers of the east. Most Of these
are coming from this section of the
state and from the Boise valley, al
though some are being shipped here
frem Payette and that country for
icing before continuing their way to
the eastern buyer.
The apple picking season has just
begun and within a few weeks this

No Identification
 Of Body of Man Found
 In Harbor Yesterday

Still unidentified the remains of the man cast up from the murky waters of the bay, were still in the undertaking parlors of Rourke & Rourke at press time today Scores had come through idle curiosity or through the possibility of furnishing some clue which might help the au- thorities in clearing up the mystery of his death, but none had been able to recognize in him the features of one they knew.
 An autopsy performed upon the body in the presence of Coroner PheIan this morning failed to reveal that his death was caused by foul play and it is the opinion that he met death by drowning, either from falling from a local dock or from the deck of a vessel anchored in the har- bor or passing through the sound.
 A description of the deceased is be- ing sent broadcast and records of missing men are being tallied by the police in the hopes of discovering his identity. Detectives detailed to in Vestigate the death has been unable to locate any clue along the water front which would tend to throw light upon the mystery. It is thought that he may possibly be a man searched for by the New York authorities, who originally came from Williamsport Penn, but up to the present hour no authorization of this clue has been obtained. -I
 It is likely that if his identity is not established within the next 24 hours, his remains will be inferred by a local fraterna1 organization.

BIGGER STOCKINGS FOR
 GIRLS THAN EVER BEFORE Managers of Hosiery Departments Say Young Women Are Getting
 Athletic and Sensible

New York, Sept. 21-Managers of hosiery departments in big depart ment stores here declare they are selling bigger stockings than ever be- fore They assign as reason both bigger feet and limbs and more com mon sense shoes.
 Ten years ago. one stocking de- partment manager said, i've never had call for a number | size A number of 10 was listed among the large and odd sizes. Now we have quite a few calls for No. Il stockings and the 10 and 101z sizes have be- come regulars I think it's because girls and women are not only more athletic but more sensible, few wear. ing shoes that pinch nowadays, ana larger shoes permit of larger stock- ings.''
 Mrs Julian Heath, of this city, president of the Housewives League, who today returned from Chicago, believes this will apply more to girls ins the city than to girls in the coun-
 Tt used to be that girls thought their health would be ruined If they slept with the windows open. They stiJI think so in the country. In the citv girls have learned the benefits of outdoors Iife-and athletics is only one of the many forms of this-and are growiig stronger as the result. Of course. the doctrine will spread to the country and bigger, stronger country girls will result

BEAT MAN WHO.
 TALKED IN SLEEP

'T cannot find this man guilty on the evidence presented said Judge Frank L. Wilder he discharged Patrick Sweeney. charged with assault upon James H. Dolan who gave his address as 52 Elm street. Versions of what happened in the Elm street lodging house last night vary, but all coincide that Dolan, who occupied a cot adjoining that of Sweeney, talked in his sleep
 According to the complainant he went to bed early last night and he may have been ta1king-of that he knows not-but he was awaked by a terrific beating which covered him with blood and which he further claims was administered by the ac- cused. Sweeney told the court that Dolan was hollering so as to disturb everyone in the house and twice fell out of bed.
 Somebody put a comma in the som no1ent speech of Dolan, but Sweeney professed ignorance as to- it's source. The patrolman who made the arrest not being in court. Judge Wilder no1led the complaint.

ALMSHOUsE BONDS. Supt. of Charities F. R. Johnson Pleads For New AImshouse.

To the Editor of the Farmer. Sfr:-
 Last year plans were submitted and a1nashouse sufficient to accommodate 500 inmate were prepared. It was believed that such aeh ooa a building could for this amount was defeated at a general election.
 A new bond issue for s175,000 is now tfon from s225,000 to $175,o00, as well as the reason for asking this amount are herewith stated as fully as brevity will permit.
 Simplicity and utility rather than ornament must govern in a1mshouse construction. Points to be observed in the arrangement of such a building are facilities for proper classified ton of inmates with complete sex separa- ton; adequate provision for sanita- ton and against fire; a liberal ouan- tity of sunlight and fresh air: prop CT degree of comfort and convenience for the inmates, and convenience of access. from all parts of the building for administration purposes
 As to the number to be housed present plans call for a building ade- quate for 375 persons The maximum up to this time has never been in ex- cess of BIO. To erect a building with halls, dormitories and day rooms for five Or six hundred inmates would cause an undue expense, not only in the initial outlay but also in the cost of maintenance until the population might catch up with the. capacity.
 
 stantia1 and adequate building pos sessed of these qualities could be built for $175,000 the plans and estf- mates submitted by architects last year were carefully canvaseed But. in addition to this, the plans of a number of a11nshouses constructed during the last ten years have been consulted, and the actual costs of con- struction, NOT ESTIMATES MERE LY, have been secured. :. The aims houses of Washington. New York City Newton and Natick in Mass. and the. County Homes of Orange and Adam Counties in Indiana, are among those studied. Tbese institutions are all considered models of simplicity and utility. and have been described in book form for the guidance of those interested in modern a1nlshouse con struction. The capacity and cost of erection of these very naturally wide ly vary but form sufficient basis for a conclusion as to the. cost of a new a1mshouse for Bridgeport.
 The estimate of $175,000 for a new almshouse is based upon previous es- tima tes a definite understanding as to the needs to be met, and a definite knowledge as to the costs of con- struction of similar alrnshouses built during the last ten years in other cities.

EXPRESS HURLS TRACK FOREMAN
 TO HIS DEATH
Passengers of White Noun tain Flyer Aghast at
 Shocking Spectacle

While employed in his work as sec tion foreman upon the tracks of the New Haven road. John Caracas, B years old, living at 399 Water street, met his death shortly after II o'clock this morning, by being hurled high in the air by the pilot of the White Mountain express which was rushing towards the Bridgeport depot
 Caracas, who had gone down the tracks in charge of gang of men employed in repairing the tracks, is not believed to have seen the ap- preaching train It is thought that he stepped backwards upon the track just before the train was upon him. The engineer after a warning blast at the approach towards the spot where the men were working, was un- able to slacken speed sufficiently to prevent the accident The body was ground thirty or forty feet distant rolled across the parallel tracks. The White Mountain express was stopped, and the train crew going back to the spot where Caracas body lay, car ried it to the baggage car and brought it to the station here
 The accident happened al a spot al- most opposite the old Burr Road, and upon. the emb bankment which rises at that street Passengers who stepped from the train to ascertain the cause of the delay were greatly shocked at form. as it was being carried to the car It is thought that death result e dalmost instantly as the victim s skull was fractured and badly crushed, besides both legs being broken.
 Medical Examiner S. M. Garlfck was sued a permit for the removal of the body to the TnOrgue.
