The Passing OF Our Head.

On the 18th day of September, 1855
our Journal head was born. For
nineteen years this head. this cop
per head has stood the storms, the
terrific storms of life. the strenu-
Gus life. Mid strife aud contentious,
rivality and dissensions, through
heated political campaigns, and
dark, dark hours of strife has this
head of ours stood the ravages of
time. Never once has it failed in
its duty. fis true when scandals
were displayed beneath its eye,
when the intregity of some of our
people was at stake it dropped, and
hung in shame. And human like
it took new life when chronicling a
birth or happy marriage. When
misfortune laid it's heavy hand op
any of the large Journal family it
sorrowed. When death claimed for
it's victim the temporal body of the
one most interested in the welfare
of the Journal, it's grief was intense
and knew no bounds: twas then
pale and then its paleness began to
turn truly grey, this head of ours.
From the onslaughts of "a pounding
press, driven over this precious
head, age and badness crept on
apace, until today, nota hair is left.
This cranium is bald. So like all
things else it is perishable and the
destructive hand of time has sealed
it's fate. Never more ia it to rejoice
with those who rejoice, or mourn
with those who mourn. To you,
dear reader, it passes kind adieu,
apologizing for all it's mistakes,
and trusting forgiveness will be ex-
tended for its wrongs. Harh. while
we write we hear the foreman say:
Throw that old head in the chal-
drOn." So with many fond men,
ory, the old head reluctantly exits.

PROFESSOR OLsEN's IDEA
Wisconsin Educator Says Situation Is
Serious and Menacing.

Professor Julius E. Olsen, Of the Uni
versity Of Wisconsin, who is in the city
today, discusses the crisis in Norway
with much earnestness. He holds
that Norway is without a government,
as the ministry cannot be compelled to
serve against it's will. He believes it
improbable that the ministry will desert
its-post, however, until some definite &C
ton is taken by the storthing Profess
sor Olsen says the situation is serious
and menacing.
He declares that it is not necessary
for the storthing to pas sthe consular
low over the veto Of the king, because
the authority for the law is in the
Norwegian constitution. In his opinion
Norway should separate from Sweden
and elect one Of the sons of King Oscar
as king. Prince Carl would probably
be most available, as the crown prince
would doubtless prefer to remain with
Sweden, the larger country: He doubts
if. a Norwegian republic is timely at
present. "
Not until popular government pre-
walls In Sweden can Norway expect tc
be recognized as free, independent
and sovereign state. .,...

Put to Flight q Platoon Of Picked
Constabulary Of the
Village. ~

There are some things that police
officers have not been trained to han
die in cases of emergency. Among them
are angry goats. +. ...s>.. g..
A small squad Of policemen was called
upon to dispense disorderly group Of
nue. N and Seventh street today, and
the short but lively contest following
resulted in defeat for the law and order
side. There were five goats in the rush
line. ...---.... -.
No one knew exactly where the goats
came from, but in leisurely fashion
they walked into the yard Of the Lin
den hotel and began devouring the cane
| seated chairs scattered abses the lawn.
There were six in the gang shd when
one of the maids appeared on the porch
Having, finished the soft parts of the
chairs, the goats went for the maid,
and with a scream she sought cover
! in the house, leaving the invaders to
work havoc at their own sweet will.
The goats next attacked the garden
and ate the young shrubs in q wink
This done they spied large washing
hanging on the line, and started for
that. Towels, hosiery, pillow slips and
lingerie proved to be genuine delicates-
4 sen and disappeared in no time. The
owners in the house, afraid to step out
tide, telephoned for the police. -
Patrolmen Buck and O'Connor, with
some volunteer deputies, hurried to the
place, but not In time to save any
thing Of value aside from the. house.
The brass buttons looked better to
the goats than anything they had seen,
| and there was a grand rush for the
feast. Tie officers, and the boys who
helped, stood their ground for q few
minutes, but were compelled to back
no to the signboards across the street.
Here, by a clever ruse, they were able
to escape to Hennepin avenue. Later
the owner Of the gourmets was found
and after whistling a few notes, the
aggressive pets followed him like
lambs.

CRISIS COuFRONTS
NORWEGIAN PEOPLE
King Oscar Declines the Law Gre
ating a Separate Consular
System.
ENTIRE MINISTRY OF
NORWAY RESIGNS
King Refuses to Accept the Res
ignations- Republic Is
Possible.

Christiania, May 27.-King Oscar at
today's sitting Of council Of ministers
declined the law creating separate
consular system for Norway. The min
listers Immediately rendered their resig-
nations, but the king refused to accept
them.
Not since the stormy days of 1914
has Norway faced such crisis, and
the developments Of the next few days
will be Of momentous Importance to
the country's future. A Norwegian re-
public is wholly, possible any day.
sume led bis hl rule Yesterday, is a startling
surprise and Is likely to inflame the
Norwegians til their anger overfows
all bounds When it was reported, a
fortnight ago, that old King Oscar,
who now takes the reins which had
been hello by Crown Pr nee Gustaf as
sumed all over Norway that the step
was taken to relieve the crown prince
of the onus Of sanctioning the N0rW9
gian consular law. The accepted ex-
planation was that the king would sac
rifce his personal popularity with, the
Swedes in order to shield his son from
Swedish disfavor, and to preserve the
union. To sanction the law would nat
urally excite the resentment OF the
Swedes, and to veto it might cause Nor
way to withdraw from the union in
order to assert her claims to complete
independence and sovereignty.
1t may be that the diplomacy of the
king may be great enough to pacify
the ministry and induce it to remain
in control but this is believed to be
doubtful.
1t should not be forgotten that the
storthing can eventually override the
kings veto, but this can only be done
by repassing the law at two, success
sive storthings, which must, of course,
be three years apart. This plan has
been proposed several times, but over,
whelningly rejected by the political
leaders of the country, and thus, afar
the evident intention has been to force
the consular law thru as fast as pos
sible without regard to the throne or
the, government of Sweden.
. Lieutenant Colonel Bendeke, retired,
of the Norwegian army, who is in Min
neapolis, tho not in favor of the con-
sular law, expressed keen regret when
informed that the king, had refused
his sanction to the law, as the temper
of the Norwegian people. was such that
they might cast all reason to the winds
and once for all assert their position
in the world.

RUSSIAN ARMADA
In JAP WATERS
Rojestvensky Pushes Northward
Thru Korean Straits While
Togo Still Hides.
RUMORS SAY BATTLE
HAS ALREADY OCCURRED
Confirmation Of Report Not Re-
ceived-st. Petersburg Is
2 In Suspense.
SUMMARY OF WAR
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Advices from various sources TO-
day point to the probability of am
early battle between the Russian
and Japanese fleets.
The Toxic dispatches, reporting
the presence of Russian warships
off the Tsu islands in the Straits
Of Korea, indicate that the Russian
admiral has divided his fleet, as au-
thentic dispatches to the Associat-
ed Press, confirmed by advices re-
ceived in Washington, show that
some Russian vessels are still near
Shanghai.
It Is probable that Rojestvensky
has detached his auxiliaries, supply
vessels, unarmored ships and others
unfit for battle, and proceeded
northward with his main fighting
force. Whether it Is his intention
to force Togo to accept battle or
whether his object is to reach
Vladivostok, the dispatches do not
make clear.
Togo's whereabouts are not
known.

Nagasaki, May 27.-It is reported
that q Russian feet is passing the Tsu
islands in the Strait Of Korea.
Toxic, May 27.-Vice Admiral Rojest-
venskY's fleet has been sighted off the
Tsu islands, in the straits Of Korea.
It is rumored here that the Japanese
and Russian fleets under Vice Admiral
Togo and Vice Admiral RojestvenskY
have already engaged In the Korean
straits.
The sighting Of Admiral Rojestven-
sky's feet off the Tsu islands
seems to indicate that the Russian COM
mander has determined to take the
boldest course and, instead Of skirting
Japan and entering the sea Of Japan
by the Tsugaru or La Perouse straits,
to push directly thru the straits OF
Korea and try to reach Vladivostok,
which is about $40 miles from the Tsu
islands. 4, =
That Rojestvensky will be able to do
this without at least being harassed
by the Japanese seems improbable, and
the report circulated at Toxic today
that the two fleets have engaged IN the
straits Of Korea may prove correct.
There is the possibility, of course,
that Rojestvensky. may have 80 far de-
oeived Admiral Togo that the latter
is still at the base he has established
in the north of the island Of Formosa,
in which case q general engagement
NAV not take place before the Russians
reach Vladivostok.
It is also possible that the Russian
vessels sighted in the Straits Of Ko-
rea only form portion OF the RUSSIAN
feet.
