A BANKER ASSIGNS.
Failure of Prominent Illinois kinancIer
and Politician.


and Politician.
EAST ST. Louis, Ill, Dec. 1.-THE
assignment NJ onday at Belleville of
ex-senator Henry Setter, OF Lebanon.
was a financial and political sensation
in st. Clair county. The assignment
was made to Marshal W. Wehr,
hut no statement of the as
sets and liabilities was filed.
Mr.. Setter was considered the rich
est man in st. Clair county and he
owns and farmed over 5000 acres of
land, ran a large dairy and did r.
banking business at Lebanon and
O'Fallon. He was the democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor in
the memorable Palmer campaign and
has been leader in that party in
southern Illinois for many years. He
was considered worth million.
In 1891 Mr.. Setter formed the Leb-
anon Dairy and Creamery company,
with a capital of $4,000, ot which he
owned 500 shares, valued at $4,000.
Monday morning Mr.. Setter trans
ferred to the creamery company his
interest in what was known as the
mound farm, which consists OF about
1000 acres and was valued at about
$4,000. What the estate will pay is a
matter of mere conjecture. 1t is re-
ported that the immediate cause of the
assignment was the recent death of
Rufus \. Ramsay, of Carlyle, Clinton
county, the state treasurer of Illinois,
to whom Mr.. Setter was indebted be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 The two
men have been for many years in the
habit of indorsing each others notes

The New York Press makes the an.
nouncement that DR.. Cyrus Edison,
president of the New York state board
of health, has devised simple method
by which human blood may be distin.
guished from the blood of animals. 1t
has been proven that difference exists
in the size of the blood corpuscles Of
all animals, including man; and the
Edison method consists simply in throw
ing magnified images of the respective
corpuscles on a screen, whereby the
difference is manifest even to unscien-
titic ewes

THE province of Quebec is providing
for park which will rival in size. at
$least, the National Yellowstone park.
1t is to be in the Laurentian mountains
and will embrace 1881 square miles of
wilderness. The object of the park is
TO preserve the forest, fish and game
and maintain the water supply which
a destruction of the forests would
greatly impair. The object is one
worthy of legislation though the ne

sidered urgent. The region named is
not likely to be settled or seriously dis
