WANDERING WARD. THE CLIFTON HOUSE PKOPKIKTOU ON THE LOOKOUT FOU A LATE CLEHK, WHO "WAS KNOWN A3 "HANDSOME FRANK," Oscar Youngs, the well known proprietor of.the Clifton house, is very anxious that Frank Ward, his late clerk, should turn up again in Freeport. If he does it is altogether probable that he will be provided with comfortable quarters in the county jail. Ward went away last week, accompanied by Frank Libby, son of the livery man. The festive Ward's sudden departure gave riia to the rumor that he went away because of some developments that would be made, and which it is not necessary to dwell upon here.

It seems, however, be is a notorious dead beat, and not only succeeded in getting a good deal of money out of traveling men, and some who boarded at the hotel, but was indebted to several merchants, and beat his employer out of a good many dollars. Mr Youngs was very kind to Ward, and placed a good deal of confidence in him But the ungrateful fellow has been "working" his racket in various ways and bad received money in payment for Board that he never turned over to Mr Youngs. Where he is no one knows; but it is to be hoped that he will be captured brought back here tbe music," AMUSEMENTS. PARTNER" AT THE OPERA notrsii GKRMANIA FAIB TO BEGIN THIS EVENING, Election will soon be over, and then amusement's line will be livelier, and our people can enjoy themselves. Tonight the well-known Partner," is to be presented at the opera house.

A-Kansas City exchange says: The best American play now before the public is My Partner, a drama which has bad an unprecedented run in the which comes to us full of unflagging interest. We manly sentiments clothed in the rough-garb of unconventionally. We see justice for wronged womanhood and Charity for human frailty. The drama Is terse, bright and active. There atfe'nolong waits, no tedious dialogues.

The introduction of Major Henrv Clay Britt," candidate for re-election to the legislature, is a clever political hit, while the gentleman's love passages with Miss Pottle helped to enliven the tragic element. Mr Louis Aid rich, carries the part of Joe Sannders, has a full conception of the manly role. He is specially happy in.his make up, and has a voice adapted to the role. My Partner is thoroughly enjoyable, The company is excellent throughout, and we feel that each actor is at his post equal to the occasion. Before concluding we must say a word of praise for Miss Goldth watte, whose Mary Brandon Is prettily and gracefully done.

As the heroine of a Wosterri drama she is such by her innate refinement to claim the sympathy of an audience, which gladly unites with Joe in foigetting and burying the sin in the grave of Mj Partner."

Fattier Hiordait, ol New "Work; Gives nn Account of Him Tour In NEW YORK, Oct. 27. John J. Riordan returned to New York Sunday on the steamor Gormania, after a prolonged tour in Ireland for the purpose of informing the Irish people of the general condition of affairs in this country, thus preventing to some extent assisted and reckless emigration and perfecting a system recently inaugurated by himself, whereby emigrants to America shall bring with them letters of recommendation from their parish priests or other certificates of character. Father Riordun is highly enthusiastic over the success of his journey.

He took special pains to impress upon his many audiences abroad that the idea of the United States lining a laud flowing with free milk and honey was a mistaken one. Speaking of the condition of the Irish people at home, the priest said that in no part of Ireland did ho see such utter wretchedness as existed among some of the same nationality in this city. The crrps during the past year had been large and but little affected by the drought which prevailed. Generally the people wore happy, although the dreams of their lives were to emigrate to America or Australia. Losses by Plre.
