American Indians Moving into Mani
tObA. .'lr

WINNEpEG, April II. .--Late.telegrams
from Fort AssinibOine and other points
on the mountain frontier states that
there has been perseptible movement
of American Indians northward. Fort
Mcleod is being stockaded and
strengthened. The settlers are armed
to the teeth and will give the hostiles a
hot reception. Advices state that Ameri-
can Indians are coming into the Turke
mountain district in southern Manitoba
and serious trouble is feared. On the
American side of the mountain are q
large number of half-breeds and Indians
processing sympathy with Riel. They
have been crossing the line in samil
parties for ten days and have gone west
to join Riel.
THE MASSACRE AT FROG LAKE FORT
PITT LIKELY TO FALL, ALSO FORT
| BATTLEFoRD.
WINNIPEG, MAN, April II. Anoth-
er dispatch from Battleford says eleven
persons only were killed at Frog Lake.
Mrs. Delaney, j. X. Simpson, and two
men of the Hudson Bay Co., are prison.
ers and it is feared they will meet hor-
rible death at the hands of the Indians,
The police and settlers at Fort Pitt are
fortifying themselves, but are sur
rounded by horde of Indians, and as
troops cannot get there in less than
three weeks the fort will probably fall
and the inmates be massacred. The
situation is also critical at Fort Battle
ford, where 400 women and children
and 200 men are entrenched. The place
is surrounded on all sides by Indians
and if general attack is made the
Fort cannot stand. 1t is believed the
worst has taken place all along the
north branch of the Saskatchewan, where
the Cree Indians melted by half breeds
have massacred and plundered the
white settlers. 1a3

TIL e Cancer I'm General Grants Throm
Spreading and Suppurating.

New YORK, April General Gran
slept in his chair from midnight untii
$3.50 IA. m. He was disturbed occasional
ly by attacks of coughing with expec-
toration. He awoke expressing him
self as feeling quite comfortable. He
has just taken his nourishment, with
out pain, and is resting quietly. Pulse
~; temperature normal
Senator Chaffee left General Grants
house at 6:15 a. m. He stated that the
disease was spreading. The Senator
was with General Grant an hour. There
was some pain this morning attending
the taking of food. The cancer i'm the
throat was suppurating. The general
seemed no weaker than yesterday, and
during the hour of the senator's caH
the patient coughed only once, and then
the expectoration of the mucus was ac-
complished without difficulty. So long
rs the general was nourished us. now
the senator believed he would survive
until death resulted from the gradual
course of the cancerous disease.
At 2:30 p. m. General Grant had
somewhat improved in his general con-
dition since the last bulletin. A slight
soreness of the throat during the morn
ing was relieved by cocaine. The Sc
erection of mucus had diminished and
the cough had become less troublesome.
The patient walked without assistance
to an adjoining room and sat il the sun
light. His pulse and temperature are
unchanged.
New York, April l4.--Gen. Badeau
left the house between and o'clock.
He said that Gen. Grant was certainly
stronger and better and at that time
sat in the library with his legs crossed
reading the morning papers. Yester-
day morning the Generals throat was
easy, but a trife sore. Soon after DIR.
Douglas had issued the $50 a. IN. bull
letin and while Mrs. Grant was in an
adjoining room, the General bade his
servant to bring him pad Of writing
paper. On it he wrote bulletin as
follows:
"The doctor tells me am better this
morning. I am better than have been
for two weeks. us. GRANT"

Building Boom in Napole on

While the prospect for the erection
of large number of buildings In Ma
poleon during the spring and summer
of 1885 is not quite so fattering as it
might be, or as other seasons have
been, there will be more than the usual
number decorated outside and inside
and additions built, and large and ex-
tensive improvements made on those
which have been in the course of con-
struction. That good times are near
at hand, and better still coming, is
evidenced, not only by the prepara.
tions for extensive improvements in
and around Napoleon, but throughout
the country everywhere. Saur has
already made all the necessary ar.
rangements and purchases Of the diff
ferent kinds of materials for the spring
trade, which will be largely in demand
at prices which cannot fail to attract
the attention of all close buyers. The
outside decorations which, within the
last few years have become so very
popular and fashionable, and can only
be made with good paint, can always
be found nice and fresh in all shades
and colors, and in any quantity to suit
purchasers at Saur's Drug and Paint
Store at lower prices than have ever
been known on some quality of goods.
Even old buildings which are almost
ready to tumble down, can, with few
dollars worth of these colored paints,
be made to look nice and good as new.
For the inside decorations within the
last five or six years paper has largely
taken the place of paint for several
reasons; the two principle of which are,
first, that 1t is very much cheaper, and
consequently can be changed oftener;
and second, that it can be made to look
more rich and beautiful, and 1t needs
no special artist from Paris or London
to apply It, Great improvements are
constantly being made in these paper
decorations for Walls and Ceilings
The designs for wall paper and window
shades this coming season are great
improvement over those of the past.
THE patterns are smaller and the soft
colors on exquisitely tinted grounds,
are much easier to match with furn-
ishing. Our colors SO far have been
too glaring, the hues presenting too
strong contrast. White grounds
have re-appeared, showing the lighter
tints to perfection. All who appre.
ciate the new and beautiful, will be
pleased to look over the grand stock at
Saur's Book and News Depot, even
though they may not want to make
any purchases. In the line of all kinds
of brushes for the painter or white
washer, Saur always carries com
plete stock, which he warrants to give
satisfaction. Making his purchases
direct from the manufacturers, he is
prepared to replace any brush that
may come to pieces before worn out
free Of charge Everybody can always
depend on finding large and com
plete stock of everything in the line O
Drugs, Medicines and Books, in addi
tion TO the above. No department OF
part Of his stock is ever neglected, bu
everything is selected and purchased
with the greatest care with reference
to pleasing customers in quality as wei
as price. a rga
