CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-Zion city is in
n fever of excitement today. for to-
morrow is the time appointed for the
departure of Dowie's Restoration
Host" to begin its campaign for the
salvation of New York. Everyone OF
the six to eight thousand inhabitants
OF the town is actively Interested in
the crusade. Hundreds were at work
today completing the final arrange
ments for the trip. Besides their per-
sonal belongings. including the 500
white robes of the celestial choir"
the crusaders are to take with them TO
the metropolis many cases of dishes
and cooking utensils with which their
food will be prepared during their So
journ in Madison Square Garden.
Ten special trains are to carry the

are routed over the Baltimore & Ohio
by way of Washington and Philadel-
phia. The other eight trains are
scheduled to pass by Niagara Falls,
where it is proposed L. hold tre-
mendous meeting, at the gate of the
enemy's country, so to areak. Dowis
himself, with his wife, son and body
guard, will travel on the train which
leaves Zion City last.
The strength of Dowie and the wide
qualifications of his creed are evidenc-
ed by the fact that for several days
past scores OF his followers from Ne
braska, Iowa, Wisconsin and other
states of the West have been pouring
into Zion City to join the crusade. Be
sides the 1000 or more residents OF
Zion City and Chicago it seems prob
able that an equal number OF his fol-
lowers from other points will join in
the invasion of New York. The move
ment will be the largest of its kind
to take place in single day in the
history of railroads, and will tax their
ability to the utmost. They have
greatly aided the plans of Dowie by
granting special rates of one fare
from nearly all the Western states TO
Chicago. and from contiguous terri
tory to all of the large cities between
Chicago and New York.
