Gospel Wagon Coming.

A late Omaha special telegram says
Wilbur Anderson, A. L. Steurnagle,
Charles Walsh, +. III. Chamberlain and
A. d. Weir, members of the Moody
institute, Of Chicago, have left Omaha
for the Black Hills, where, in Deadwoo
and the surrounding mining camps,
they will wage war against sin. These
young men are members Of gospel
wagon" religious organization that is
new in this section of the country. The
plan of work is to move from town to
town, holding meetings in the main
streets, vacant houses and such other
places as the country through which
they travel may afford.
The men named have purchased a
wagon. costing 5000, besides other equip.
ment of the value Of $3.50. This outfit
they will ship to Chadron by rail, where
they will take possession of fine pair
of black horses, donated by J. w. Good,
a merchant of the town. From Chad
ron they will journey by wagon, doing
evaDgelistic work en- route, preaching,
singing and distributing literature that
is designed TO take the place of cheap
story books sold at book stores.
The musical features of the gospel
wagon" include an organ, an organist
and soloist in the person Of Wilbur
Anderson, who sang with Moody during
the time he held his meetings at the
worlds fair. There is also a quartette
composed of the other members Of the
party.
