THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE.

A climate not necessarily unhealthy
often proves so to those unaccustomed to
it. The acclimnting process seems un-
usually slow in some constitutions:
There is, however, a medicinal means of
acclimating it Of which residents or
s0journers in unaccustomcd or malarious
climates have not been slow to avail
themselves. Hostetters Stomach Bit
tiers is medicinal safeguard and
acclimatng tonic of standard reputation
which travellers. cmigrants, tourists,
mariners and others whose tastes and
pursuits entail exposure, subsection to
changes Of temperature, unusual or I'M
wholesome diet or water, and the fatigue
attendant upon long journeys by land or
sea, concur in pronouncing it reliable,
agreeable and safe. AS a remedy for
disorders of the liver, stomach and
bowels, very prevalent in malarious re.
gions and the tropics, us preventive OF
fever and ague, rheumatism and kidney
troubles, and MS restorative of vigor,
it is also held in the highest estimation.

MRS. AGNES SOMMER, Secretary
PROPOSED LIVE STOCK BILL.

The following address, which is self
explanatory, has been issued to the press
with a request to publish this morning:
To the People of Texas Interested in the
Prosperity of the Live Stock Industry:
The undersigned wish to call the atten-
ton of the people Of Texas to the fact
that the destruction of live stock by wild
animals is increasing at a rapid rate
throughout a large portion of the state,
and that the interests of the people, IT.
respective of occupation, demand that
they be exterminated. 1t is well known
fact that they annually destroy live stock,
including poultry, which, in the aggre-
gate, is of large value, and that they
greatly increase the cost Of caring for all
kinds of stock and that the presence
of such wild animals deter thousands of
people from engaging i'll growing such
kinds of stock as the wild animals are
most destructive of. The benefits to ac-
crue to the people of the state from the
destruction of this long-endured detri-
ment can not be approXimated, but will
be enormous.
There is no practical mode of accom-
plishing this desired condition, except by
concert of action, and the only mode by
which such concert of action can be
produced is by offering an inducement
to the people to destroy them; such neces-
sary inducement, we believe, can best
be offered by means of moneyed con-
slderatlon, offered in the nature of pay
ment of bounty for their destruction.
Authority for the payment of bounty
| by the counties can be had only by per
| mission of the state legislature. With
this object in view, we herewith submit
for your consideration plan of bill to
be submitted to our legislature with a
view to asking said legislature to enact
this or some similar plan into law during
the session now soon to be convened:
An act entitled can act to provide for
| animals and the payment by the county
| commissioners of a bounty therefor.
Section l. Be it enacted by the legsla-
ture of the state of Texas That hereafter
when any person shall kill, in any county
| IN this state, any coyote wolf. lobo wolf.
panther or wildcat, he shall be paid by
the county in which such animal was
| found dead, the sum of not less than 81,
| nor more than So, for each coyote wolf;
the sum of not less than So nor more than
$40 for each lobo wolf the sum of not
less than $40 nor more than SIS for each
panther; and the sum of not less than SOC
nor more than 81 for each wildcat.
Sec. >. The county commissioners
courts of the several counties in this
state are hereby authorized, at any reg
ular session of said court, to increase the
bounty required in said section /. of this
act, to any sum greater than the mini
mum fixed i'll said section |, and not to
exceed the maximum so fixed, for each
animal killed in their respective coun-
| ties.
Sec. 3. The county commissioners
court of every county shall order to be

4 TENAS SETTLER.

Yesterday there was in Austin one of
the real old fashioned "old timers" He
was Capt. S. L. McClennan of West
Station, McLennan county. He came to
Texas in 1910, and McLennan county
was named after his older brother who
was, with him, one of the early set
tiers" Capt. McClennan is still hale
and hearty man, and, in fact, is not an
old man by any means, as he will be but
63 on the 10th Of this month. He is full
of "reminiscences of early days in Texas
and also as to Confederate times, and one
could spend many interested hours in his
company listening to him repeating what
is history. but what, to him, is but the
incident of yesterday. He has son al
st. Edwards college, but this was the
first visit he has ever made to Austin.
He was delighted with our city and will
come down for longer visit next sum-
mer He left yesterday at noon for his
home in McLennan county.

the people of Texas the favor of OBJ
tanning as many signers to the above pro-
posed bill as possible, as an evidence to
the legislature soon to assemble of the
needs of such a law, and return same to
