Plan for an Icehouse.

Perhaps as good plan as any for
fairly cheap icehouse is one given in
Barn Plans and Out Buildings" pub
hshed by the o. Judd company. Around
the inside of foundation dug as already
directed lay stills of by plank and upon
this ''toenail' studs of the same size, 10
feet long, at distances of feet apart.
Upon these, matched boards or patent
siding is then nailed horizontally. A
door frame is made at one end When
the outside boarding reaches the top of
the frame, plates of 2 by timber are
spiked to the studs. Rafsers of by 4
scantling are then spiked onto the
frame over the studs, quarter pitch
being sufficient. The roof may be OF
boards, shingles or other material; make
it with broad caves. Line the inside of
the building with boards, placed hori-
zontally, the space between the two
boardings being filed closely with the
packing. There should be capacious
ventilator at the top of the house, and
the spaces above the plates and between
the rafters at the caves will permit
constant current of air to pass over the
upper packing.
When the cheapest possible structure
is required, posts Of suitable length are
set two at each corner, with one placed
at one side of the front to serve as one
side of a door. The bottom planks all
around are nailed to the posts, which
may be more firmly secured in place by
cleats connecting those at each corner.
The front posts are a foot or so longer
than the others, to permit of shed roof
A plate of light scantling secures the.
tops in place, when it is ready for the
ice as soon as a foundation of sawdust
has been laid. Now begin the storing
of the ice and carrying up of the single
wall together, and filling in between
with sawdust as the work progresses.
The planks, which are placed inside the
posts need only to be slightly nailed to
keep them up when the ice is removed,
as these will be held in position by the
posts without and the pressure from
within. Drainage is secured by placing
the structure on sloping ground.

deferred because the only carpenter in
the place is not at liberty. An extension
for animals would often be built if the
owner could do it without expense for
extra help. But just how to go to work
is the question. The thought of getting
out frame is a bugbear to most men not
carpenters.
Now the plan of building which COM
mends itself in the engraving requires
no framing. With S-inch posts 81 feet
long, cut in the woods and hewed on
one side of the upper IS inches, and .
inch plank, the owner can erect a shed,
lean-to or extension as quickly and sub
stantially as any carpenter with the old
morticed frame or modern mitered one.
The posts must be set 4 feet apart and 2
feet in the earth. If the spot chosen is
not well drained, the holes should be dug
below frost level and filled to within two
feet of the surface with rock powders on
which to stand the posts. The uprights
for all sides for no corner posts of weight
are required) are spiked to the fiatted
outer sides of these short pieces set in the
earth. Inside of the uprights, resting on
the heads of the posts, another plank IS
spiked, both down and to the standards.
The joists and plates are also spiked in
side the uprights in the same manner as
the sill pieces.
Covered with novelty siding, such a
building is as neat and well braced as
one can desire. If vertical siding is to be
used, the uprights are stood upon the
posts, where they are held in place by
spikes, and the sill pieces put on outside.
The joists and plates, in this case, have
to be placed outside the uprights, for,
with the sill pieces, they receive the
vertical siding. If flooring be used, it
may be laid on timbers placed on the por-
ton of the postheads still uncovered.

Morrison for PRECEDENT.

1t is not outside the range of probabili-
Ties that the next democratic nominee for
president will hail from Illinois. From
time to time the names of several distin-
guished gentlemen have been mentioned
IS suitable candidates, and the fact tina,
these suggestions emanate from both
southern and eastern sources, lend color
TO the belief that an Illinoissn may be
selected to lead the national ticket. And
the concensus of opinion seems TO be
that Col William R. Morrison, in case
this honor falls to this state, is the most
available man. His position on the in
terstate commerce commission has pre-
cluded an active and prominent partici-
patton in political affairs for the past few
years, but nevertheless Col, Morrison has
kept in close touch and sympathy with
his party on all vital questions. 1t is no
wonder, therefore. that should the exig.
ency OF the occasion seem TO demand the
nomination of a western candidate, that
the eyes of the party should
be turned toward Col. Morrison,
who has during his long public career
always adhered closely to the fundamen-
tai principles of democracy. The follow,
ing special to the Chicago Herald indi-
Gates that Morrison's candidacy is being
seriously considered in certain Quarters:
LOT
democrats will be interested in knowing
that another movement to make William
r. Morrison. of Illinois. candidate for
the presidency is on foot. The sugges
ton does not come from Illinois. nor
from the west, for that matter bat from
the south and southwest, where NUNS
Der of democratic leaders are so much
welded to the free silver idea that they
are looking for man TO nominate in
place of Cleveland. To some extent the
Mills speakership movement and the
Morrison esidentisl movement are
travelling together. Whether this associ
alton of plans will help or hurt Mr.. Mills
remains TO be seen. 1t would not be
just to say that the friends of Mr.. Morri
son have organized for the purpose of
pushing him for the nomination,
but that the word has been passed that
Morrison is the man to beat Cleveland il
Cleveland can be beaten at all admits of
no doubt Much of this Morrison moves
ment can be traced to the trio of friends
who were leaders in the house few years
ago-the Carlisle MoIrison.Mills trium>
virate-sbd their immediate friends.
They argue that Morrison is popular
man personally; that he was brave
union soldier; that he is poor; that he
was one of the pioneers OF tariff reform
and that he halls from western state
which is just ready to drift from its re-
publican mooriDgs and come over to
democracy. At the present time more
work in the way Of letter writing and
personal solicit alton is being done for
Morrison than for any other aspirsnt to
the democratic nomination. At the same
tine the admirers of Morrison do not care
to antsgonizs ex-President Cleveland.

THAT G. A. R. MONUMENT.
Where the Money is That Was Raised
for This Purpose by the &. A.
Il. Fair.

A relative of the dead buried in
the Odd Fellows cemetery sends
The JOURNAL a note as follows:
May 1 ask through your valuable
paper why that monument is not up
to the memory of the soldiers. We
all worked so hard the week OF the
Grand Army fair last winter, think
ing that the graves of our loved ones
would be honored with beautiful
monument before decoration day,
There was enough money raised
over 81 600 If they aint going TO
put it up the public has right to
know where their money went to,
the relatives of the dead soldiers
would like to see it go for the monu-
ment.
Mr.. Stoltz, who had the manage
ment of the fair that raised the
money says that the Grand Army
post decided that the present G. A.
r. lots in the cemetery were too
small to expend the money on, that
the Odd Fellows lodge is now ne
gotiating for larger tract, and that
the money has been placed at inter
terest until satisfactory arrange
ments can he made.

THE Fight FOR PURE FOOD.
Success of the Efforts TO Scotch Bad
Baking Powders.

The aggressive war waged by the
Royal Baking Powder company
upon the hosts of adulterated aud
impure baking powders sold
throughout tue country is having
desirable effect. The scandalous
attacks upon the Royal company by
the manufacturers of the impure
goods (Which are made doubtless
from a spirit of revenge and in the
hope of breaking the effect Of the
damaging exposurt) show that they
are hit, while the official reports
which have come from various pub
lie authorities fully corroborating
the statements made by the Royal
company, have awakened whole
some public sentiment in favor of
repressive laws, which means mis-
chief to the lllegitimate traffic.
The Royal Baking Powder com
pany set out some time ago TO ex-
pose the character and break up the
sale of adulterated baking powders,
Having found from an examination
of many specimens that there was
large number of actually injurious
powders in the market, they brought
the matter before the public and de-
nounced the makers by name in the
press and to the health authorities.
The affair was taken to physicians,
boards of health, and legislatures
throughout the country, chemists
were employed to test the various
powders in the market, and the gov
ernment Itself directed analyses to
be made before it would purchase
the supplies needed for army, navy
and Indian uses.
The result justified the charges
made by the Royal company. Not
only were the majority of baking
powders in the market found to be
largely adulterated, but many of
them were ascertained to contain
alum and other poisonous ingredi-
ents to such an extent as to render
them positively unsafe for use In
human food.
In making the charges the Royal
Baking Powder company did not
hesitate to enter into competition
with every other baking powder in
the country, and it is public satis-
faction that in the official tests by
government and state chemists and
by boards of health, the Royal
Baking Powder has been declared
to be the superior of all others in
strength, purity and wholesomeness,
and absolutely free from all inferior
or detrimental substances.
From recent official reports it Is
evident that the alum and other
wise impure goods have again come
upon the market in dangerous
quantities and their old enemy, the
Royal, is again upon the warpath
In continuing its warfare against
these goods the Royal is meeting
with the old-time opposition and
abuse. The public, however, will
appreciate, as heretofore, both the
object of the abuse and the action Of
the Royal company, and award fu
Justice TO the company that so fear
lessly stands up for its protection
from such adventures.
