BIRMINGHAM WON
 FROM MONTGOMERY
VISITORS FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPETE SUCCESSFULLY WITH THE PACE SET BY THE FAST LOCAL PLAYERS.

Birmingham last night defeated Mont gomery in good game of basketball be- fore an enthusiastic audience at the Bir- mingham Athletic club. The visitors were not up to their form, and the home boys walked away with the game from the very start.
 The playing of the Birmingham men was as good as has ever been seen in the club house, and their friends were kept busy continually cheering and ap- plauding. J. Riddle and E. Jones played an exceptionally clever game the former making eight field goals, a total of six teen points,

W. F. Fry of Montgomery acted as referee and J. A. Larrimore of the Young Mems Christian association served as um- pire. The score at the end of the first half was Il to 1. and at no time did the visitors have any opportunity to catch up with the winnig lead of the Bir- mlngham squad

banana Dread.

Bread made from banana -four is
common enough In Europe and Eng
land. One pound Is said to contain
more nourishment and energy produc-
ing material than one pound of the
finest beefsteak, Is much more digest
ible and less than one-sixth the price.
Sir Henry Stanley was firm believer
in the banana. He went SO far as to
advise that It's consumption would cure
rheumatism, govt and all liver affec-
lions. When lying at the point of
death from gastritis u light cruel of
banana -four mixed with milk was the
only food he could retain and digest.
The secret of the banana as health
and strength producing food lies in its
high percentage Of proteids and the
great number of Its calories, respective.

The call for the Republican Coun-
ty Convention appears in this issue
of the Review, for Wednesday, Sep
TENDER 5th, at eleven o'clock, and
is for the purpose of placing in NOM
ination candidates for the various
county offices. 1t is desired to have
full representation of all the town
ships in the county, and to secure this
end, committeeman are urged to call
the caucuses as soon as practicable.
The chairman of the county central
committee suggests that unless other
wise designated by local committee
men, caucuses should be called on
September 4th, at eight P. M. There
is nothing. however, to hinder having
caucuses held earlier than this date,
and the Review urges that prompt
ness govern the committeeman in the
several townships. The chances for
Republican success in the County this
year are fattering, and this fact
should insure large convention.

The Nose.

The nose is intended for breathing,
the mouth for speaking and eating.
Who has ever seen horse breathing
otherwise than through his nostrils?
Minute scientific investigation has re-
vealed the fact that the number of peo-
pie who breathe through their nostrils
are becoming gradually but surely few
er in number. The consequence is that
the nostrils decrease In size, while it has
been found that the prevailing nose is
quite an inferior organ to that of our
forefathers. 1t is well known phys
biological fact that unused muscles and
bones gradually disappear. Fish who
live In the dark, for instance, or the
mole, who resides underground, be-
come blind. Thus If we cease to use
our noses for breathing they will cease
to exist. They will become superflu-

The sun,bird.

Very curious are the nests of the sun
bird, scarcely larger than butterfly.
1t chooses some exposed spot, probably
close to the public road, and proceeds
to- build on an overhanging twig. The
finishing touches being put to the small
abode, it is left, according to one au-
thority, severely alone until spiders
have woven their webs over and around
1t. Another naturalist says that the
birds themselves turn ragmen and. col
lecting any rubbish they can find in the
way of moss, faded leaves, ends of cot
ton and other such trities, stick them
on the outside of the nest by means of
pieces Of purloined webs. In either
case the result is the same, and they
make their future home thoroughly
disreputable object. Then, and not till
then, does the little hen sunbird lay
her two greenish white eggs. which she
matches under the shelter of small
porch which has been constructed over
the nest shielding her from sun and
rain.

In this issue of the Review. APP
pears the name of w. j. McAhren,
who announces himself as a candidate
for sheriff at the next Republican
County Convention. Mr.. NTcAhren
is so we'll known, and his fitness for
the Office is so we'll recognized, that
the mere mention of his name will
commend HIM as suitable candidate
for Sheriff. His friends are enthusi-
astically pressing his claims for the
nomination, and unless other candi-
dates are on the alert, he will prob
ably carry off the prize. The Re-
view, however, is not disposed to be-
come the champion of any candidate
for any Office before the Convention
makes selection. After the Con-
vention is over and the ticket nom
mated, the Review will be found
earnestly supporting all of the candi-
dates.

COMMENTS ON THE CONVENTION

The action of the Republican State
Convention caused less disappoint-
ment to the defeated faction, than to
the Democratic leaders, who were
confidently counting on a rupture
which would open the way for Demo.
cratic success.
The predicted bolt did not come,
and chiefly because there were enough
conservative men in both factions OF
the party to prevent it. 1t is true,
that up until a few hours before the
Convention met, the tide of factional-
ism ran high, and had it been carried
into the Convention, the party would
have been wrecked, and chaos would
have reigned. 1t was when this con-
dition became apparent, that those
who were more loyal to the party as
a whole, than to faction of it, as
serted their influence in favor of a
course, which saved it from disaster.
Happily for all, a way out of the en-
barrassing situation was discovered.
The State Central Committee, in
reaching conclusion that certain
contests were without merit, opened
the way for harmonious action, avert
ed all danger Of riot on the floor of
the convention, and prevented split
in the party. 1t is unnecessary to
speculate as to what influences, if
any, were brought to bear upon the

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.

The Democratic State Convention
was held at Waterloo on Tuesday OF
this week. Claude R. Porter, of
Centerville, was nominated for COVER
nor, and John D. Denison, of Du-
buque, formerly of Clarion. for lieu
tenant governor. 1t was supposed that
Mr.. j. B. Romans, of Denison would
be nominated for State Treasurer, but
Mr.. Danforth, of Sac County, carried
off the honor.
1t seems appropriate that the con-
vention should have been held at
Waterloo, in view of the Waterloo
which awaits the party at the Novem-
Der election. The platform is Demo.
cratic. in that it declares in favor OF
free trade, in the name of tariff TO,
revenue only. and in favor of it i'm
mediately. The object of tariff tor
revenue only, is to raise revenue, anc
not to protect labor, the industries
and markets of the country. The
purpose is to place tariff upon those
aticles of import which naturally pro-
duce thelargest revenue. England has
tariff for revenue, which is levied
upon the necessaries of life imported
into the kingdom. There is nothing
in the Democratic platform to pre-
vent hides and farm products from be-
ing put upon the free list, nor is there
anything to prevent the tariff being
placed upon tea and coffee, and other
necessaries, the same as is the prac-
tice in England.
We are pleased to find the Democ-
ratio party of Iowa come out this
year, and take decided stand on the
tariff question. The Republican party
in it's platform declares in favor of
the American system of protection,
and the issue will be clearly drawn
between free trade and protection.
The farmers of Iowa have always been
in favor Of protection, and this year
