everything is adjusted to the salts

age done this year the assessments
this year will not be nearly so large
as the farmers expected in this part
of the state. Some expected a two

will cost them just five mills. They
also feel that they can car
ny this insurance in the future at a
cost of about three mills.

The Danish West Indies.

Washington, Jan. 30.-The treaty
with Denmark for the cession of the
West Indian islands, owned by that
country, to the United States, received
its first attention at the hands of the
senate committee on foreign relations.
The greater part of the time of the
committees sitting was goven to this
question, but the committee adjourned
without taking action. This post
ponement of action was not due to
opposition to the treaty, but rather to
u desire on the part of of the members
to secure from the state department
all the information obtainable con-
corning the resources of the islands
and the advantages to be secured by
their control by the United States. All
the members of the committee present
including several democrats, expressed
themselves as of opinion that the pos
session of the islands would be of adj
vantage to this country from strate-
gic point. The present prospect is
that the treaty Will be favorably re-
ported after another meeting devoted
to its consideration.

NEW SHAKESPEARE THEORY.
London Author Says He Was the Rein
carnation of the Messiah.

London Author Says no was the KEN
carnaton Of the Messiah.
London. Jan. 30.-Mrs. Gallup and her
cipher book have been shouldered aside
for the time being by another book on
Shakespeare. In this case, however, no
Taconian controversy is involved. but,
if that We're possible, ground is taken
for a greater and more puzzling ques-
ton. The men of the cloth Will be
drawn into this new dispute. and the
controversy, as at present, Will not be
limited to the literary and the dramatic
world.
The author of the new book is
Charles Downing. He calls his volume
God in Shakespeare. the Course of the
Poets Spiritual Life" with his reflec-
tons thereon and his resultant concep-
ton of his world personality. induct-
lively established from his text.
While the name of the volume is
mystical and psychological, its contents
are great deal more mysufying and
surprising. The writer feels confident
that Shakespeare was nothing more or
less than reincarnatfon of the Mes
siah. and that in his plays and poems is
hidden message in regard to the ways
CT obtaining salvation for those who
seek 1t.
Mr.. Downing shows conclusively that
he too, has been searching the early
folios for a cipher or cryptogram. and
he would lead his readers to believe
that he has made spiritual discovery
of the utmost Importance to the Chris
tan world.
He places the great poet, as a spirit
ual teacher. on practically the same
pedestal as the Savior, and pretends to
show that divine truths are interviewer
turnout the plays, and that Shakes
peare's purpose was to lead men to
higher aims and holier lives.
Tho unnoticed when first published,
the book. having now reached second
edition,is beginning to attractat attention.
Its sales would indicate that there are
PEOPLE in Great Britain ready to accept
the widest ideas and vagaries with
regard to Shakespeare and his poems
