No. Is near Bowdle. Heart failure
was probably the cause of his death,
it is thought.
The body has been turned vel to
the coroner Of Edmunds county and
the military authorities have been
notified.
Papers on Dreshuek showed that
he belonged to the 312th cavalry and
was stationed at Fort Meyer, Va. He
held a ticket from Harlowtown,
Mont, to Minneapolis, but other pa
pers showed that he had been at Gilt
Edge, Mont, spending his f~urlough.
Dreshuck was the only soldier on
the train and as his military uni
form attracted some attention from
other passengers he was noticed
shortly after he became motionless
and the conductor notified. Author
tiles at Aberdeen and Bowdle were
then notified and the men taken from
the train at Bowdle.

COAL SITUATION
GOVERNMENT MAN AT TWIN
CITIES THINKS COAL PROB
LEM MAY BE SOLVED.

Minneapolis, July 2.--Total coal
movement up the lakes for the north
west is greater this year than it was
for the corresponding period last
summer, according to figures made
public today. The showing up to
July 5 indicates quite an increase in
bituminous coal receipts, while hard
coal receipts were still behind those
Of last year. w. III. Groverman, dis
trict representative of the federal
fuel administration, who returned
today from a visit to Washington,
said that from o on anthracite
shipments may be expected to in
crease.
There Is every reason to believe
the northwest will receive its full al
lotment," said Mr.. Groverman. THE
light receipts in the early part of the
season we're due to the fact that east
ern producers did not know what
price they could get for hard coal at
the upper lake and so were careful
not to consign much in that direction.
The problem of distribution is in
tricate. but we believe it will work
out. My task is merely to see that
dock companies fill the orders for
distribution given by the state fuel
administrators of Minnesota, Wiscon-
sin, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Each state has had its allotment fixed
and distribution to the localities In
each state Is entirely in the hands of
state administrators"
Returns from the Lake Superior
docks at Duluth, Superior, Ashland
and Washburn show that up to July
5 Of this year receipts were 3S0,732l
tons Of anthracite and 1.956,229 tons
of bituminous coal, compared with
451.539 tons of anthracite and L.
776.420 tons OF bituminous for the
same period last year. The western
Lake Michigan docks in Wisconsin
up to July S had 323, 1882 tons of an
thracite and 1,152.391 tons of btu
minous. In the same period last year
they received 336.173 tons OF hard
coal and 1.110,721 tons of bitumi-

The government expects and demands
that every citizen in Iowa who signed
a pledge earlier in the year FOR the
purchase of Stamps make good thai
pledge. The government assumes tha'
every pledger signed his pledge in
good faith. and does not hold it in the
light of mere scrap of paper.
