A GLUr IN THE POTATO MARKET.

GLUT IN THE POTATO MARKET.
 Potato growers are glutting the mar ket with potatoes. The crrp appea,s tr be good one and the tubers are u!usu ally large size, but are liable to rot. It is useless to dig and try to force them upon the markets in large quantities. Customers want but weeks supply ahead. More than that cannot be sold for any price. The whole crop will be needed before winter is over. The cor rect way is to sell your crop before you take it to market. Then you will get 8 uniform price and probably fair price. We find that potatoes stored in bins made of slats, keep the best. The cellar should be kept dark and cool, but not freeze.

THE POTATO CROP AND PRICES

Such has been the rush to dispose of the large potato crop that they have been offered for 9 cents per bushel in Danbury. The rot is proving more se- rious then was expected. Some in dig ging for daily use think two thirds of their crops will be destroyed.

Which He Is Charged

Judge Kicks Explains the Things With
Which He Is Charged
WASHINGTON. Jan. 21.-Judge Kicks
has arrived in this city to appear before
the committee of the house of represen-
tatives to answer TO the charges preferred
against him by the Central Labor Union
of Cleveland. Judge Kicks said: The
substance of the charge made is that
have retained fees claimed by me, by
virtue of my former clerkship, which l
should have paid over to the United
States There is absolutely no truth in
the charge. The whole accusation en-
braces three items aggregating some
$766 and in my reports as clerk for the
year 1888 and the first half of 1889
charged myself with this very amount as
part Of my compensation as clerk, the
charge being made upon account of
records in what are known as the Bird
sail cases. The actual marking of rec
ords in all clerks offices is always many
months behind the disposal of cases.
In this way it happened that the rec
ords in these cases in which
I had so charged myself with
1856 before actually receiving the
same. were not completed until after
my appointment as judge. When the fees
in the cases were paid to me they amount
ed to $1,792.15. OF this amount l for
warded the proper department of the
government, a full statement and ac-
count.
In this account l retained only that
which had been charged to me and the
actual expenses of making the records
which expense was allowed me by law.
