All of this stuff Is stored away in two rooms occupied by the chief of police, and the overflow has been packed away in a room on the second floor of the city jail. Everything from three barrels of poker chips down to a spool of thread can be found in this lot of stuff

stolen the goods are returned when the prisoner is released.
 Under a resolution of the city council the property can be sold once every six months
 No sale has ever been made. All of the gambling paraphernalia, such as poker chips, tables, roulette wheels and cards which the police have, were confiscated at different raids made by the department on several of the gambling houses about the city.
 The only use this stuff has ever been put to was when the Birmingham Police Protective Association gave an entertain ment at the Jefferson theater, and on the programme was the raidlng of a gambling house.

THREATENS, DAWSON.
A Glacier Makes Its Appearance
Behind the Town.

SattIe, Wash. April 17.-Dawson arri--
walls on the steamship Humboldt say the
Klondike isin the throes Of a glacial phe-
nomenon. Two months ago a glacier
made its appearance on the hillside back
of Dawson. The ice of the glacier is
from twelve to fifteen feet thick in
places and besides rendering that sec
ton of Dawson uninhabitable, it threat
ems to render the trail leading to the
cemeteries impossible during the sum
mer. Such a result, it is predicted, can
be averted only through the construc-
ton of a series of culverts and bitches,
as the broiling summer sun will keep
torrents of water flowing from the ice
mountain.
