Judge Thornell and a jury in the district
court spent all day yesterday listening to
the evidence in a suit brought by jerome
JefTries against ]. r. Snyder to recover pay
meut for $1,000 worth of household goods
which Snyder sold on October 3 to secure
payment Of SAB. 10 storage charges.
Jeffries was a resident of Council Bluffs
for several years, and held the position as
division superintendent and general agent
for a life insurance company. His business
made it necessary for him last summer to
spend the greater part of his time on the
road, and he broke up housekeeping for the
time, storing his household goods in Sny-
der's warehouse. They remained in storage
for more than six months, during which time
Jefries failed to make any payments on
storage charges. In the meantime Snyder
closed out his business and moved to Omaha.
All of the goods that had been in his ware
rooms for a period of six months and longer
were advertised for sale In the form pre-
scTibed by the Iowa laws, and during the
clearing out sale last October they were
sold to the highest bidders. The total
amount realized was $225.7O. The storage
charges and the cost of sale aggregated
$77.S7, and after deducting this amount
the balance, $157.S3, was deposited in the
county treasurer's office, subject to the or
der of the owner of the household goods.
Jeffries did not feel kindly over the sacri-
flee of his household treasures, and he
brought suit against Snyder for their full
value, $1,000, and also asked the court to
award him $4,000 damages. Jetfries was
in the witness box for a large part of the
day yesterday, and from the schedule of the
property sought to establish its value. His
brother-in-law. Palmer. was in the witness
box during the remainder of the day to cor
roborate the testimony. Jeffries testified that
the only notification he had that the goods
were to be sold was contained in a letter
from Snyder which contained the laconic
information: Your goods will be sold to-
morrow" This letter, he claimed, reached
him at Kansas City the day after the date
fixed for the sale.
Snyder bases his defense chiefly upon the
fact that the sale was conducted wholly
within the law, and that Jeffries had ample
notification of the contemplated sale.

his opposition and consented to let his name

CUBAN REFORMS READY.
Queen Regent to Ahix Her Signature Next
Thursday.

London, Feb. 1.-The Standards
Madrid correspondent telegraphs that
Queen Regent Christina will on Thurs
day next sign at a meeting of the cabi-
net prime minister a scheme for re-
forms in the Spanish West Indies. The
scheme was devised after several con-
ferences with the leading conservative
senators and the Marquis de Apezteguia,
the leader of the Cuban conservatives,
who is now in Madrid. The reforms
will go into operation in Cuba as soon
as the pacitication of the island will
permit. The scheme will state that the
government is willing to entertain sug-
gestions as to the West Indian tariff re-
forms and the subsequent Improvement
of commercial relations with the United
States. The whole matter will be
handled cautiously. The correspondent
adds that it would be premature to sup
pose that the scheme will effect in Cuba
autonomy similar to that enjoyed by
the Australian colonies and the Do
minion of Canada.
