of strangers in town this week.
They come from all parts of

souri, Tennessee, Alabama,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wiscon-
sin. and Iowa* They all ask
hundreds of questions hbont
our town, county and surround
ing country. They all talk bur
slness and are in this section
seeking investments, some cat
tie, some sheep, looking for lo-
cations for mercantile pursuits,
and jUI talk lands and town
lots. Does this look as though
Albany was dead in the shell?

—Messrs. Joe Friend of St.
Louis. Alex Friend of Kansas
City, Major J. T. Morgan, itiner-
ant, accompanied Charley Zug
to his sbeep ranch Saturday
laat, where they spent the night.
The Ecuo is of the opinion that
Joe, Alex, and Charley did not
obtain their usnal allowance of
sleep and all because of the
Major, who, it seems, is some
thing of a game cock, at least
his early rising or arousing pro-
pensities are closely allied to
the lyibe chanticleer. The Ma-
jor wanted to be up and out
early, Charley said, "that is
just my style," (but he was the
last out in fact) whUe Joe and
Alex wanted to have a morning
snooze, but Mnjor would not let
them. The Friend boys say:
"Major Morgan is all we could
ask of a man iu good, noble, so-
cial qualities, but him in
camp, especially about 3 a. m.

Been on everybody's tongue in
Albany this week and not a
day has passed since his per-
formance Saturday night but
hearty langhs are indulged In
at the remembrance of his ooui*
ical acting and delineations.
Ryan is undoubtedly the beBt
single handed performer travel-
ing. As widow Bedott and
Grip Scott, the moonshiner, he
is immense, while as the New
York newsboy or tbe wild and
wool? cowbpy on a frolio, he is
just altogether too uttterly too
4oo, while vulgarity in speech
and acting and double entente,
were very noticeable becanse of
their ■ absence, Mr. Hyan is a
cultured, highly educated gen-
tleman and as a pertorinei on
the French harp, piano and gui-
tar, all of which it was om
good fortune to hear him pluy
in private, he is far above imtny
professionals.
