LOOK OUT FOR THE ICE.
Pedestrians Having a Hard Time ON
Topeka Walks.

There are miles of icy sidewalks in To-
peka. and pedestrians off Kansas avenue
are walking in the middle of the street
where there is less danger to life and limb
than there is on the walks supposed to
have been constructed for the convenience
of the traveller on foot
although the. snow which is on the
ground now began falling nearly three
weeks ago there are few localities, out
side the business district. where the ice
and snow have been removed from the
walks. Business men have cleaned the
sidewalks in front of their stores but few
of them have removed the snow from the
sidewalk In front of their homes.
1t is estimated that there has been a
hundred thousand falls, half million
near falls, and a dozen more broken
bones since the storm cleared away ard
people had an opportunity to remove the
snow from the walks. But the cases in
which this has been done are few.
II is no uncommon sight to see people
walking in the street in the residence
section Wagons and buggies have
crushed the coat of ice until 1t presents
surface which seems more safe than the
sidewalks. This is especially true at
night. And it rs not confined to any one
locality. The middle-of-the-street- brigade
operates all over the city.
There is an ordinance against allowing
snow and ice to remain upon the side
walks but If any effort has been made TO
enforce it, the effort has not met with suc-
cess. Meanwhile there is terror in the
hearts of men and the ice remains upon
the sidewalk.
