Worlds Markets Last Year.

washington, Feb. 1S.-Automobiles
entering the worlds markets in the
wear 1909 had a value in excess Oh
S50,O0O,OO0, as compared with an ag-
gregate value of 100000 for the
wear 1902, striking evidence. accord
ing to the bureau of statistics or the

100000, a gain of 3S5 per cent. Elk
ports of automobiles from the United
States in the same period increased
from SS,000,000 to $39.000,000, a gain

France leads the world as an export
er Of motor cars with the United
States second. Some of the figures
given by the bureau of statistics show

Bound Over for Assaulting Man With
Revolver in Kansas City.

The following from a Kansas City
paper concerns q man who was for
years figure in Topeka police court:
There was much contradictory testi-
mony in the preliminary hearing given

Justice Shoemaker's court yesterday
afternoon. Cline was charged with as
saulting Floyd Ellison of 2611 Park
avenue. state agent for the Woodman
Casualty company, the night of jan
uary IS. in Johnstons cafe.
About the only part OF the testimony
of the prosecution and defense that
agreed was that Cline struck Ellison
with q revolver.
Cline testified that he was off duty
the night of January 20. and that he
met Ellison and several other men on
the steps leading to the Stag ba about
half an hour before the trouble in
Johnston's, and that they threw him
down the steps head first. When he
went back to Johnston's, Cline said. he
found the men lined up along the bar.
He obtained the revolver. he testified,
as. a precaution against further as
sault.
The testimony did not agree as to
how the fight was reopened, Cline say
ing Ellison started il and Ellison and
his friends testifying that they had
never seen Cline before the time he
walked up to Ellison in Johnston's and
assaulted him.
Cline was bound over to the criminal
court and his bond fixed at $500.

RICHMOND ICE COMPANY
Manufacturers of Pure Ice.

The Richmond Ice Company was es-
tablished and incorporated in 1905, the
present officers being H B. Hanger,
President; L. B. Weisenburgh, Secre-
tary-Treasurer; w. B. Craven, Super
intendent, and John S. Conway, Mana
ger. The business is the manufacture
of Pure Ice, made from distilled
water. The plant is 152xS4 feet in
area, and the capacity forty tons of
ice day. The business is both whole
sale and retail, supplying the local
trade and shipping in large quantities.
The company obtains most of the
water used from its own lake, which
was made at an enormous expense.
1t also has access to the city water
when necessary. The water used for
manufacturing the ice is distilled from
steam that has been boiled" twice
at the hottest" temperature known,
and filtered three times, thus assuring
an ice that is absolutely pure and free
from germs. The equipment and ma
chinery is the best that money could
buy In connection with the ice busl-
ness there is large cold storage ca
pacity.
The plant is located near the Louis
vile & Nashville and Louisville & At
lantic railroads, and a switch connects
it with the main lines, thus doing away
with all unnecessary handling, and
permitting it to load directly in the
cars. AS this is the only modern ice
plant on the L. & N. railroad from
Cincinnati, O., to Atlanta, Ca, and in
fact the only up-to-date industry Of
it's kind in Central Kentucky, its won
derful business and immense output is
not TO be wondered at.

HON. HARVEY HELM.
Our Member of Congress.

Harvey Helm, Democrat, of STAN
ford, was born at Danville, Boyle coun-
ty, KY; is not married; attended
school at the Stanford Male Academy,
and graduated from the Central Uni
versity of Kentucky, with the degree
of A. B.; began the practice of law in
1890; elected a member of the House
of Representative in 1898; served as
such in the General Assembly of Ken
lucky, session of 1894; elected County
Attorney of Lincoln county in 1897 for
the term of four years, and reelected
in 1900; was delegate from the Eighth
district to the Democratic National
Convention at Kansas City in 1900;
was elected to the Sixtieth Congress
and reelected to the Sixty-first Con-
gress, receiving 17,725 votes, to 16,049
for L. w. Bethurum, Republican, and
442 for A. Johnson, Prohibitionist.
While Mr. Helm will be reelected in
November for a third term of two
years, he has really served less than
three years since the beginning of the
first term in which he took his seat.

When it comes to the big things be-

more than the average new members
part therein. Being member of the
important Insular Affairs and Public
Building Expenditures Committees, his
study and speeches have been de-
voted to subjects, as a rule, most con-
sidered by those committees. His
speech on the tariff during the extra
session, and his speech against the
ship subsidy grab in the last session
were as much or more complimented
by his host of friends among the older
members of the House than any de-
livered by any young Democrat On
either subject. His was one of the
few set speeches by Democrats on the
ship subsidy bill, which he and the
rest of the minority succeeded in hav-
ing sidetracked at least till the posi-
bility of electing a Democratic House
is decided. His speech in the last ses-
sion on behalf of something like home
rule for the island of Porto Rico was
the most applauded of any delivered
in the House on that subject, and the
victory that he and the other members
of the minority portion of the Insular
Affairs Committee succeeded in wrest-
ing from the majority for Porto Rico
was the most signal, if the least her.
aided, OF any won by the Democrats at
the last session.
One of the chief signs that Mr..
Helm is developing into a member so
useful that the Eighth district and his
party will want no change is the stand
ing and influence he has with his fell
low members of the House. 1t has
been remarked about the Capitol that
more members of the House know him
than any man from the West or South,
and when he wants anything he asks
for it, the response and conclusion
usually being: We'll, reckon we will
have to do that for Harvey"

This business was established in a

had practically no capital, in fact he
and his wife even sold some of their
personal effects to get together money
enough to make the start. Today he is
one of the most successful business
men in Central Kentucky and has one
of the largest establishments. He was
born and raised in Madison county, his
father being c. X. Oldham, at one time
Sheriff of the county. w. D. OIdham's
success is but another evidence Of

necessary, and a building was erected
