Yes, August Flower still has the

mothers never thought of using any
thing else for Indigestion or Bilious

used August Flower to clean u the

is all they took when feeling dull and

DECISION IN THE DOWNS CASE
Supreme Court Decides That Money
Paid by Russia on Sugar Exported
is a bounty.

Washington. January Sin an opin-
day, the United States supreme court
decided in the Downs case. that the
money paid by the Russian government
on sugar exported is a bounty and that
the collector of customs at Baltimore
justified in levying a countervailing
duty on Russian sugar. under the terms
of the Dingley law
In delivering the opinion OF the court.
Brown said it involved only the
one question as to whether under the
laws and regulations of Russia a boun-
|ty is allowed upon the export Of sugar,
which subjects sugar upon it's importa-
ton into the United States to an addi-
|tional duty"
It appears that free sugar which may
be sold in Russia at the normal excise
|of 1.75-100 rubles per pound may be Xxx
ported under a permit from the excise
office, upon the return of a free sugar
certificate, with the custom house ex-
port mark, the excise then crediting
the exported quantity Of sugar to the
free surplus of the mill, which is sub
iect to double the tax Of LIS rubles
Discussing this certificate Justice
Brown said:
at is practically admitted In this
case that a bounty equal to the value
of these certificates is paid by the Rus
sian government and the main
.ment of the petition is addressed to the
proposition that his bounty is paid. not
upon expectation but upon production.
The answer to his is that every boun-
.ty upon exploration must to q certain
extent operate as q bounty upon pro-
.duction, since nothing al be exported
which is not produced and hence a
bounty upon expectation. by creating
a foreign demand, stimulates an in
production TO the extent of
such demand. Consequently a bounty
upon production operates to a certain
as a bounty upon expectation"

joined the fleet of Fowler boats ct the

navigation in the lower ohio as early
Is December. The river is lower than
it has been in years in December. if
not lower than ever known for this
month. Usually the ice does not be-

that severe cold weather for any

Today is the first time that the

Order Made in Bankruptcy
Court for Him to Pay $l8, 900
He Has Failed to Show Up and Was
Last Seen in Memphis, Ao-
cording to Report.
CREDITORS MAY PROSECUTE

Harry Stark will 60 to jail il Depu.
ty u. s. Marshal Hubbard can locate
him. He failed to appear yesterday
in the bankruptcy court Of Z. W. Bag
by, and an order was issued that he
pay into court $500 he is alleged to
have spent from the funds belonging
to the Kentucky and Tennessee Distill-
ing company, Of which he was former
ly president.
Several weeks ago Stark filed pc
tition in bankruptcy. He wanted the
debts of the distlling company to be
made Q portion Of his own liabilities,
to which the creditors of the concern
strennously objected.
When the case came mp before Ref
cree f. W. Bagby the creditors were
we'll represented. Stark failed to ac-
count for about siS, 900 that belonged
to the corporation, but did not deny
he had converted it to his personal
use. He claimed that he had lost it
gambling, but could not show where
he had spent or gambled away more
than $4,000 of the $4,000. He a
short time before filed suit against a
local pool room for about &3,0 he
claimed to have lost there, but failed
TO account to Referee Bagby for 80,
600 Of the missing money.
The hearing before Referee Bsgby
was then deferred at Stark's request
until December IL, and when it was
called yesterday Stark failed to APP
pear. IL was taken as confessed by his
absence that there was no reason he
should not pay SIS, 900 into court for
the benefit of his creditors, and an Or
der for him so to do was forthwith
issued.
Deputy U. S. Marshal sgd Hubbard
has been looking for Stark all day, but
TO no purpose. 1t is said he was seen
in Memphis Saturday, and the general
impression is that he has skipped.
Should he now be caught by any of
Uncle Sans officers, he will have to
pay the $4,000 into court or go to
Jail until he does as Louisville man
had to do some time ago.
The bankruptcy case has proven one
of the most sensational that ever
came mp in Paducah. 1t is said that
Stark may also be prosecuted for EN-.
bezzling the funds of corporation,

Meanwhile United States officers

dsnt Stark, said today that he does not
know where his client is, but presumes
he is some where sick, or had been de-
tanned by accident.
