Snowy 1898 Streets Slushy Cleaned Sloppily
From the 1898 Lawrence Daily Journal snowfall left streets slushy as meltwater ran. Ordinances on sidewalk cleaning were generally followed though some merchants let snow melt. A new police court room and office shuffle changed out police judge and county surveyor adding light. Local notes cover Hodder lecture at Leavenworth, rush hour trains late, opera house results, G A R flag signaling a post meeting, and streetcars struggling to start before clearing. Walking gains popularity at Kansas State Normal with 120 coeds, hikes planned from two to fourteen miles. William West jailed after bicycle theft arrest with $50 bond.
