The Rev. Stephen Roese, of Maiden 

 Kock, Wis., has been " on the sick list " 

 over since January- La Grippe is the 

 cause. 



There Will be No State Fair in 

 Illinois in 1893, on account of the 

 AVorld's Columbian Fair, to be held in 

 that year at Chicago. 



The Agricultural Society of Illinois 

 has made a request for an appropriation 

 by the Legislature of a million dollars 

 for a suitable building at the World's 

 Columbian Fair, and its management 

 and care from the opening until its clos- 

 ing in 1893. 



The Editor of the American liEE 

 .louKNAL was, last week, unanimously 

 made the first " honorary member " of 

 the Illinois State Bee-Keepers' Associa- 

 tion. This marked distinction is appre- 

 ciated. We cannot undertake to do as 

 much active work as formerly, but will 

 do what we can for the furtherance of 

 organized efforts generally. 



The Wisconsin State Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, after we left the Convention 

 at Madison, made us an "honorary 

 member " of that Society. We appre- 

 ciate the honor, and wish the Society 

 continued prosperity. It contains many 

 wide-awake and well-posted apiarists. 



The " Cold Snap," which commenced 

 the day before the Springfield Conven- 

 tion, prevented many from attending, 

 who otherwise would have been there. 

 Among these we may mention Mrs. L. 

 Harrison, the apiarist and noble woman 

 of Peoria. We missed her wise counsel, 

 her hearty grasp of hand and words of 

 welcome, as well as her cheery smile 

 and friendly advice. 



The Bee- World has added a cover to 

 its second number, and dates it "March" 

 — no February number having been 

 published on account of the late start in 

 January, and the present enlargement 

 to 20 pages. 



Pages of Pictures of the Indian war, 

 and the late Gen. Sherman's obsequies 

 at St. Louis, are given in this week's 

 issue of "Frank Leslie's Illustrated 

 Newspaper." 



The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation decided to ask the Legislature 

 to appropriate $5,000 for the collection 

 and maintainance of a suitable exhibit of 

 bees, honey, wax and apiarian appliances 

 at the World's Columbian Fair. The 

 committee to form the bill, and present 

 its claims consists of the following : 



Thomas G. Newman, Chicago. 



Col. Charles F. Mills, Springfield. 



Hon. J. M. Hambaugh, Spring. 



Hon. John S. Lyman, Farmingdalo. 



C. P. Dadant, Hamilton. 



A. N. Draper, Upper Alton. 



S. N. Black, Clayton. 



All other States should take similar 

 action at once, so as to secure the appro- 

 priations in good time to command 

 mnfmificent evhihits.
