The Choral Club Concert, given by
the pupils of Prof. E. F. Steffens, last
evening was signal success, although
the attendance was not what it should
have been. 1t is to be regretted that
such treats are not better appreciated
by our townspeople. Prot. Steffens is
q teacher of marked ability aud it is
seldom that a town of our size can se-
cure SO able an instructor. Many re-
marked the great improvement in the
voices of those who took part in the
concert and it is hoped that Prof.
Steffens will be induced to return to
our town in the near future for further
work. Among the numbers which
deserve especial mention were the solos
by Mrs. G. G. White, Mrs. E. W..
Adams, and Miss Clara Preston. as
also the duets, trios, and quartettes.
Miss Eta Aye, Of DEBORAH, an accom-
plished pupil of Prof. Steffens in that
place, accepted an invitation to be pres
ent at the concert and added greatly to
the enjoyment Of the occasion. Prof.
Steffens' numbers were highly appreci-
ated and in 1.-THE Bugler" he showed
his remarkable range of voice and
power of expression. AS q whole the
concert was q great success. Elkader

A STATEMENT.

The scurvy attempt of q local black.
mail sheet last week, to make q per.
sonal assault upon my reputation must
appeal to the intelligent people Of this
community as the result Of another at
tack Of chronic dissatisfaction, with
which the editor of that sheet so often
becomes afflicted.
The Waterloo matter was the out
growth of complicated business trou-
bles. and while I was placed in an un-
enviable light in these transactions,
yet I am conscientious in the belief
that was not morally guilty of any
wrong doing.
/. AS to that Cedar Rapids matter, I
will not go into detail but will say that
this sheet laid great stress on q certain
beer transaction. That / will brand
as absolutely false, without foundation,
and challenge and defy anyone to
assert its truth. Everything further
are purely personal matters, and I
have no apologies to make to the local
blackmail sheet in question. Adv.
