Peck's Sun, in which paper theSes
sketches were first published and went.
forth to a laughter loving world to be-
copied far and wide. These sketches.
were the foundation of Peck's reputayy::
ton as writer, and they were alsp the
foundation of the most laughable farce3
comedy sheet ever seen upon the stage
i.Peck's Bad Boy" with which the
bijou will open its doors tonight and
inaugurate a special season of comedy
''just for, fun" In addition to the
merits of the play as laugh producer,
coming engagement from the fact that
the acting company that will be seen
embraces several well known and pop
Mar favorites in this city. Jessaline,
Rodgers, who is always artistic and
pleasing in her stage work, will be seen
as the bad boy, Henry. and her
presence in the company will be recog-
nized as an acquisition by her hosts of
friends and admirers. Frederick Book
plays the part of Old Man Peck, the boys
pa" while Edwin Barbour, who is an
actor of undoubted merit and reputa-
ton and also prime favorite in Mime
apolis, will present the troubles and
cares of the German grocery keeper,
Shultz. Neil Scully, who will also be
most kindly remembered in this city,
plays Duffy, the policeman. and in ad-
dltion to those already named the COM
pany is composed of excellent material.
and one of the best casts ever seen in
this play is assured by the management,
which is doing all in its power to make
this most popular and highly amusing
season. The Bijou is the coolest place
in the city, and there would seem to be
no reason why the comedy season should
not be a ''go"

leaving for st. Paul to take charge of
Lifts New Grand opera house in that

teers seen. Among others the Arcadian
Dramatic society in an act of the ssh

and Mrs. Phoebe Everts in songs; Miss
Julia Lobdell in reading, and Miss

between j. J. Lindley, Of the Tribune,
and Theo L. Hays, who succeeds Mr..
Bixby as business manager of the

TO PAY FOR CROSSINGS.
The St. Louis Matter Again in the
District Court.

A meeting of the st. Louis creditors
was held yesterday to determine which
of the different mortgage bondholders
shall pay for the improvements made
necessary by the crossings compromise.
There are three sets of mortgages on
the first, second and third divisions of
the road. Judge Lusk, who represents
the mortgages on the Pacific division,
wanted the first division of the road,
in which improvements are to be made,
pay all OF the expenses out of its own
earnings. But as the mortgages on the
second and third divisions are also sec
ond mortgages upon the first division.
the court decided that the improve
ments should be paid for out of the gen.
eral fund and the burden distributed
upon the final hearing of the roads af-
fairs. Judge Shaw took the fool and
argued against this. There was con-
siderable argument pro and con, and
finally Judge Young made an order to
pay $40, 600 of Judge Lusk's interest.
