NELSON
HAS RESIGNED
Will Return From Headquar-
tiers to Resume His Farm
Club Work.

twenty-five years OF continuous
service in the Kentucky National
Guard has been brought to an end
with the resignation of Capt. Boiling
G. Nelson, Quartermaster of the Third
Regiment, says the Courier-Journal.
Capt. Nelson, whose home is at Hop
kinsville, will return to that city to
resume his work with the Boys Corn
and Pig clubs. Leave OF absence
from the farm extension work was
granted him last summer when the
troops VENT the border. The ex-
tension department of the Department
of Agriculture now thinks his services
of more value along agricultural lines,
and at its behest Capt. Nelson re-
signed his commission. He will be
succeeded by Capt William S. Evans,
of Russellville, formerly Second Lieu
tenant and his assistant. Capt. Ev-
ans place will be taken by Benjamin
L. Nisbet, Of Madisonville, former
supply Sergeant. Nisbct, former
student of the University of Kentucky,
was recommended recently for the
Reserve Officers training camp, but
will not attend because OF the promo
ton.

ILLINOIS.
LOCAL CLoUDBURsT.

The storm which swept the country
did not fail to hit Hopkinsville. Sun
day evening between six and seven
o'clock one of the hardest transforms
ever witnessed in this section struck
the city. The rain fell so hard and
the wind blew so violently that UNI
brellas were useless. In a few mo-
ments the streets were flooded and
the pavements were under water.
Thunder and lightning added TO the
fierce rain presented a very awe in
spring spectacle, but so far as has
been reported no material damage
was done in this section. The farm
ers OF Christian county have been get
ting ready for tobacco planting for
several days and the rain has furnish,
ed an ideal season for setting out the
plants, as plants are now well grown
but none too plentiful.

Grain Review

Chicago. April 2e.-Fresh high record
prices for wheat resulted today largely
from prospects of continued sharp
competition by exporters and domestic
millers. Urgent need of greater sup
plies of breadstuffs was implied espec-
tally by dispatches from Great Britain,
and there was official announcement
from Portugal that owing to the exig-
encies Of the food situation all import
duties on cereals had been removed.
Stormy weather involving additional
delay and curtailment of spring wheat
seeding in the Dakotas. Minnesota and
Canada tended further to lift prices.
Trading here, however, was relatively
light. Opening quotations which rang
ed from u to 3Ac higher, with May at
$2.53a to 1884 and July at $217 to
$2.1S, were followed by respective adj
vances to s2.55 and s2.211a, and then
by moderate reaction,
New jumps in values about midday
carried the market up to $3.50 for May
and $2.25N for July. Much of the buy
ing on the way up was for commission
houses with eastern connection and
was said to be a considerable extent OF
a speculative character. Profit taking
sales near the finish led to violent
breaks. The close was weak at 2Ac net
decline to 4 cents advance with May at
s2.54A to $2.54a and July at $2.16 to
$216A.
Car scarcity restricting arrivals gave
independent strength to corn. The up
turns in wheat prices continued also
to exert a decided bullish influence.
After opening unchanged to 1sc high
err the market scored sharp gains all
around before meeting with any set
back Rushes to buy oats were UNI
checked. The basis Of the demand APP
peared to be largely the comparative
cheapness of oats in relation to other
grain.
Unfavorable weather for planting
was bullish factor in subsequent
dealings, but late weakness of wheat
proved much more than an offset. The
close was heavy at a decline of lie to &c
net.
Provisions responded to higher quo
tations on hogs and cereals. On the
bulge, packers were liberal sellers.
