Among the many symptoms of
Dyspepsia or Indigestion the most
prominent are: Variable appetite;
faint, gnawing feeling at pit of the
stomach, with uns atisfed craving
for food heartburn feeling of weight
and wind in the stomach, bad breath
bad taste IN the mouth, low spirits,
general prostration, headache and
constipation. There is nc form of
disease more prevalent than dyspep-
STA, and none so peculiar to the high
living and rapid-eating American
people. Alchohol and tobacco pro-

generally extend a hearty welcome to the
gallant firemen and promise them an en-
ioyable entertainment DUR ng their stay
in the cit
These tournaments shoul Id be encour-
aged in every possible way IS they tend
TO promote the interests Of our fire de.
partneats, which are SO essential TO the
protection Of life and property in our
cities. The FIRE companies are mostly
volunteer organizations, and are com.
posed mostly Of business men. They are,
therefore, organisations of eminent
responsibility. There was a time when
to be a fireman was TO be put down as a
thug or a bruiser, but happily the fight
ing elemen. ha, long since passed
away, and the fire companies Of to-day
are generally made up Of men whose
fighting qualities are directed toward the
common enemy, fire.
The attendance at the tournament is
an evidence of the growth and progress
of the towns in Nebraska aud western
Iowa. There is hardly a town of 1000
Inhabitants that has not a well organized
fire department with ali modern equiS'
ments for the extinguishment of fire.
The visiting fireman will find in Omaha a
department that is as well organized and
equipped as that Of any city OF equal size

AND now the young men Of Omaha pro.
pose 70 organize a Blaine and Logan club
to be composed Of persons who have re.
Gently attained their majority. While
we have no desire 10 discourage enlist.
ments under the Blaine and Logan banner
we question the wisdom Of organizing Sc
many different clubs In this city. We
nov have a central Blaine and Logan club,
which affords ample scope for the smbi'
ton aud energy Of young men. Thil
club ought TO include every active repub.
lican in Omaha. Until that club has a
least 500 members, or what would b.
equal to about one fifth Of thu party vote
in this city, no diversion into new clubs
will strengthen the cause. 1t will b.
time to organize auxiliary ward clubs tw'
months hence, when the active campaign
in the county will begin.
