A SOLDIERS HOME.
The editor has just returned +

The editor has just returned from
. meeting OF the Soldiers Home board
at Hot Springs and is pleased to say
that the home vas never in better
condition than at present, and no
man will ave manage the affairs OF
that institution better than the pres
cnt Commandment Colonel Geddis,
and the writer was IN command OF
the Home for four years and cOnsid-
ers that he is competent to Judge.
Col. Geddis has fine executive ability,
. thorough knowledge OF human ma
ture and wide experience In business
affairs, strict in the enforcement Of
discipline where st%rictness Is neces-
sary to good order and decency.
humane In the treatment OF cases
where human frailties call for help,
and ever ready to help those In need
who are willing to help themselves.
Col. Geddis talks Of resigning and
may do so soon, because Of his large
business interests at Huron, and the
board will receive his resignation
with regret, as the position Is a diff
ficult one to fill, because Of the many
problems a Commandant has to meet
and dispose OF that cannot be covered
by any rules or regulations. He must
first be q Commandant, then a judge
and jury, then he must prosecute and
defend, aud at all times balance the
scales of justice evenly, and In addi-
tion must fill the place OF guardian,
giving fatherly advice and care to
those who are in need as many of the
members have seen eighty summers
In their life journey, and not many
are under 10.
The comfort and welfare Of the

convenience found In a first class

enjoy themselves. No hotel in the

public appearances during the day
and delivered several brief address
es.

shortly after s o'clock this morning
and was met at the station by
committee from the Irish Fellowship
club and the 7th Regiment of the
Illinois National Guard, known as
the Irish regiment. They escorted
him through the flag-bedecked
streets to the hotel, where brief
reception was held. The distinguish
ed visitor then made. round Of the
newspaper clubs, which kept him
busy until noon when he returned to
the hotel for luncheon.
The President was kept equally
busy during the afternoon. The chief
features of the program were an adj
dress at the conservation convention
in session at the Auditorium and a
reception to the members of the
Hamilton club Immediately after
the banquet tonight Mr. Taft leaves
the city for Rochester, N. Y, where
he is to speak tomorrow night at a

The FIRE AT MCCORMICK WAS
MOST DISASTROUS
Wiped Out Practically the Entire Bussi

diarism is SUSPECTED.

Special to The State.
Mccormick, Feb. 28.-The business
section of Mccormick was almost entirely
destroyed yesterday morning by fire, as
exported in Mondays State.
There has never been so great q fire
but it was a wooden town then. The pre-
sent town was brick.
The flames were discovered at about
1 o'clock. The alarm was Immediately
given and the people called to assist the
few who first discovered the flames. When
the first comes arrived they found only
smoke in the building occupied by the
Fuller company. The exact source of the
fire was hard to find, and, as o o as the
front door and back window were opened,
the flames, fed by the, burst forth.
The flames soon reached the store of n.
G.. Brown and Son, on the north, and the
NJ. L. B. Stuckey store on the south.
The FullerstOre occupied q central posi-
ton and caused the flames to go in both
directions. Bedsides the the Fuller COM
pany, Brown and Son, and M. L.. B.
Sturkep, j. B. Harmon compana, j. G..
Deasan and the Mccormick bank burned.
There was only one wooden building Oh
the block and it was dynamited in an
effort to save the three remaining build
ings OF the block. They were saved. All,
OhONCl hOlO NAlCSlSu ~ uuiil oLt uh
things were carried out of the Fuller Drug
company.
Some of the people were almost frantic
and Greenwood was called up and asked
to send her fire company down to help ex-
tinguish the fire. They did not come how
ever.
The town has sustained a great loss
over 500 ,000-and it will be long ere she
will overcome such a loss. Insurance
was small in almost every case.
The ruins are pitiable to see. The best
part Of the town is a ruin Of brick and
mortar.
Fires have been very frequent in the
town of late. Just before Christmas the
Keturat hotel, the largest hotel in town,
was burned. No one knows the cause Of
the fire. Some think, however, that Fuller
Company was robbed and fired, for the
back window was found open by the first
on the scene.

Post Office Discontinued.

The Office known as Hunters post office
has been discontinued by the post office
department.
Mr.. Henry E. Hunter has been postmas-
ter here for a quarter Of a century, and no
more faithful postmaster could be found in
the entire State.
The reason of the post office being dis
continued is that the rural routes serve
