A stampede of 800 cavalry horses through the streets of San Antonio the other day caused a panic, and sent the blood of frontiersmen jumping through their veins as it has not jumped since Texas was a republic. The mounts of the First Texas Cavalry broke away from a corral at Fort Sam LTouston, on Government Hill, about three miles from the Alamo. Some of the horses had been in service for years, but the majority of them were "cow ponies" that had never been drilled. Across the prairie ground thej dashed, following a dun mare with flowing mane. Two cavalrymen attempted to round up the herd. On went the flying steeds across the parade and into the drill ground they galloped, when sud denly there came from the direc tion of the officers' houses a bugle call. Chargers which had often responded to this call insensibly slackened their speed. Again rarig out a call. The dun mare and one-third of the stampeded horses continued their flight, while the other two thirds turned squarely at right angles. The bugler repeated "col umns right," and the two-thirds again turned at right angles, and galloped back in the direction from which they camo. Once more the bugle rang out. The plunging mass took form and steadied its gait. Again the bugle sounded. The batallion broke the gallop, went into a trot, and wheeled into the parade ground. The bugler sounded "Halt," and that part of the stampede was over. But the dun pony and her fol lowers from the ranges continued their mad flight through the streets of San Antouio. Everything mov able in the way of the horses was overturned and demolished. Ped estrians fled in every direction, while many carriage horses joined the horrea of the plains. Over the bridge ilew the wild steeds. One horse dashed its head against a telegraph pole, aud the dun mare lost a iollower. Auother's forelegs went through a basement hole in the sidewalk, and the unfortunate horse was quickly' trampled to death. A saloon was reached, and one of the cow ponies was forad through i ts doors by the pushing horses as they continued. A i ail road train came rushing along. With a bound the dan mare cleared the track in front of the locomo tive, but several of ber companions were hurled to death in an en deavor to follow. The horses divided only to come together again when the train dashed by and resume their flight toward the prairies. Out into the mosquite aud sagebrush the dun mare led them, and soon nothing was seen but a cloud of dust. The trail of the stampede was as plain as the path of a cyclone. No lives were lost, but property dam. aged was very heavy. Squads of cavalrymen started out and suc ceeded in roping all but thirty of the cow ponies. GRANT COUNTY NEWS. Blue Mountain Kagle. C, L. Marr and Charles Carr, stock men who reside in Willow precinct, were in town Monday in search of stock cattle to stock their ranges, but found prices too nigh, cut tie men here asking 10 per head for cows and calves.

Glenn, the honest, in dustrious man who pre-empted the place and made bis home there for vears. He sold out ten years ago and Is now in Idaho. Should he return to Cabin Canyon he would fall off bis sorrel mare in surprise at the changes he would see. His stable has fallen in, his fireplace ditto; ' torpedo-boats' could be ' navi gated in the washouts of bis well-Kept wagon-road ; his fence is flat, and his bench lands on which grew but brush are now covered with trees 30 feet high. And in his cool, clear spring, which lie kept so scrupulously clean, now float pollywogs, and the fretful porcu pine strolls around at eventide, and the borrowing badger digs and delves and kicks dirt all over the canyon. Surely nature has again claimed the place for her own. WHEAT, WOOL AND STOCK.

SOFT, GLOSSY HAIR. It Can Only be Had Where There Is No Dandruff. Any man or woman who wants soft, glossy hair must be free from dandruff, which causes falling hair. Since it has become known that dandruff is a eerm disease, the old hair preparations that were mostly scalp irritants, have been ahandoned, and the public, barbers and doctors included, have taken to using Hevbro s Herpicide, the only hair pre paration that kills the dandruff germ. E. Dodd, Dickinson, N. D., says: "Her picide not only cleanses the scalp from dandruff and prevents the hair's falling out, but promotes a new growth, her picide keeps my hair very glossy." A Night of Tarror. "Awful anxiety was fell for tbe widow of the brave General Burnham of Me ohias, Me., when tbe doctors said she could not live till rooming," writes Mrs. S. H.
