tfrom the Jonesboro Gazette ]

CARBoNDALE, July 20. 1910.
Ed, GAZETTE: Your readers are fainil-
lar with the name of George w. Cisney,
rs this Is the third time | have reported
his attempted assassination within the
past twelve months. ms time they
completed their hellish design, as the fol-
lowing statement shows:
MIR. Cisney, for his own safety, was
compelled to abandon his farm III VIII
hanson county, and leit there a. soon rs
he had sufficiently recovered IRON
wounds he received from would-bc assas-
sins last fall. lie moved his family to this
place in January last, and opened a gro
Gerry and provision store. Last night che
closed his store at about ) O'Clock and
went into his house. which was part OF
the building occupied by the store. lie
retired about half-past :, the family going
to bed Mt the same time. About . O'Clock.
an old friend from johnson county. by
the name of Stanley, called him
up to transact some important
business. They were seated in the front
room and had convcrsed for about half
an hour. when Mr.. Cisncy informed his
friend that they had better retire. Those
words had scarcely passed his lips when
the assassin fired, II is supposed with a
double barreled shotgun, through the
wire screen which occupied the lower half
of the sash. The entire charge OF shot
took effect in Cisney's right side, scvering
the 9Th and 9Th ribs, leaving CHASTITY
wound Of at least four inches in diameter,
particles protruding through the wound.
The effect of the Shot cNtinguished the
only light burning in the house. Mr..
Stanley says that he was very much
shocked By the shot, and that Cisncy
spoke but once, saying, "Oh, Lord, | am
shot," He Stanley remained quiet for
about five minutes, expecting every mo-
ment that the parties would break into
the house. II being very dark in the
room. and he a stranger in the house, he
dare not move for some time. When he
informed the daughter that her father
was shot she at once shrickcd and gave
the alarm. The ncighbors began to
gather as fast as possible. but ii was at
least twenty minutes before they had sui-
ticent force to assist the family TO look al
ter the aSSls>lns.
1t i, evident that ut least two persons
were engaged in the murder, rs there
were fresh and plain tracks leaving the
housc--one in sock feet ANA the other
barefootel. They separated at an alley,
one going north and the other south.
They kept the alleys for some distance
and were tracked until they met again
near Graham's mill, in the east part OF
the city. There all traces of the parties
were lost, and up to the present moment
all is enyeloped in mystery. There will
be an inquest held this morning at I.
o'clock, and if any important develop.
ments are made, will telegraph to you
MIR. Cisney was highly respected by
our citizens. All who had the pleasur,
of making his acquaintance since Ii
came among US, looked upon him rs on
of our best citizens. and join thei
sympathy with his family, IN this thei
dark and sad hour of bereavement.

HOW LONG?

Another victim of the Williamson
county vendetta has fallen by the hand
of cold-blooded assassin. At Carbon
dale. on Wednesday evening. Capt. Cis-
ney was murdered in his parlor.
Several times before his assassination.
Capt. Cisncy had been assaulted by his
enemies and finally. after he was almost
fatally wounded few months ago ut his
home In Williamson county. he removed
to Carbonate: but he did not escape.
The assassins followed him, and on
Wednesday last killed him in cold blood.
This bloody business is shocking and
n burning disgrace to Southern Illinois;
but il goes on with the regularity of
clock-work, and no effort Is made to
bring the murderers to justice. The
brigandagc of Italy and the lawlessness
of theSouth are not more to be deprecated
than the condition of affairs in William.
son and jackson. No mans life is safe
Assassination has become fashionable
and quiet citizens speak Of the murder:
that occur before their eyes with batct
breath. They dare not inform upon The
assassins, or else they, too, will be sen,
without notice to their long account
The officers of the law can do nothing
| and juries dare not convict In both
counties lawless men are banded together
in secret societies, and this knowledge
territies all law-abding people. The
Legislature refused to do any thing to
suppress this lawless condition of affairs.
The Governor Is apathctic. and will not
move. What. then, is to be done! Who
can tell us: Must we submit, and hand
the Southern part of the State over to the
Thugs? Must we all become assassins,
and shoot down whoever we suspect en-.
tertains enmity towards us, or make ready
by prayer to fall before the bullets fired,
as they will be sure to be, by those who
hate us? We are helpless to all appear

NlNSOLYED?-NO.

The State Register says: "The Quincy
Herald, Cairo Bulletin, and other papers,
say that the 'Logan-Cullom combination
will control the next republican state
Our friends are wide Of the
mark. There is no such thing as the
'Logan-C ullom combination This part
nership has been dissolved some time,
and ii is now Logan-Beveridge as Logan
long ago came to the conclusion there
must be one of the firm capable of doing
the moral business in good shape. The
development of the Shepard-Ray bust
ness made the change necessary"
The Register may be correct, but We do
not believe that il is. Logan and Bev-
eridgc cannot combine. They are rivals.
Beveridge, by prayer and his pretty little
speech, which is adapted to all Occa-
sions, has succeeded in getting to the top
of the stack of State officers and now
he wishes TO go up higher. He has
therefore commenced to pray q little loud
cr and TO air his pretty little speech Of
tencr. AT present, he is cnsns7a Or a
Senatorial prayer. He is almost per-
suaded to give little more volume to his
voice and thus make the prayer Vice
Presidential. Logan has also his eyes
upon the Senate, the Vice
Presidency and even the Presidency.
The pious ambition of the quiet man.
ncred and wonderfully astute grey beard
now rafting about in purposelcss way
in the gubernatoral chair, is trouble
some to Logan-yery troublesome to
him. This man OF the quiet face. many
prayers and the pretty little Jack .of-all-
occasions speech, stands in the way of
the tawny Senator, and there can be no
combination between them--none what
ever. If Logan stays up, Beveridgc
will stay down; If Bevcrldge goes up
higher,:Logan will come down and be
compelled to step out.
The Register therefore must be
mistaken when it says Logan and
Beveridge have gone into the
political forwarding and commission bus
mess together; and the Register is not
certainly correct when 1t says the deyel-
opment of the Shepard-Ray business
broke up the firm of Logan Il Cullom.
Logan would not dare TO call this kettle
OF Cullom's black, since he has back
salary pot that Cullom might re-
proach as also of the color of SCOT. We
also believe the suggestion OF the Regis
Ter that Logan needs Beveridge to give Il
moral tone to his combination loses all
force when attention is called to the fac,
that Charlie Farwell, who was converted
| by Moody and holds on to the horns O
the altar while he deals from the bottom
and beats Schenck playing poker, stand
at the Senator's back. Besides, as a pro
fcssional religionist, Cullom is hard t.
beat. lie is a praying man, and can hol,
his own with the most devout. Ii no
quite as religious in appearance as Bever
idge, he has certainly enough of grac
about him TO pass muster anywhere as
good average political Christian.
We stick to it, that the combination i

HOW THE LORD SHOULD NOT re
Addressed.

Rev.:.Mr. Julian is acting as the Sum-
mer substitute for Rev. Henry Ward
plymouth churcn puIprr.
To Joe Towards Star, Mr.. Julian is not
an acceptable substitute for his friend,
the emotional Beechcr. Mr.. Julian
stands, while preaching, on one leg and
wiggles the other. He feels of his nous
tache, leans on his elbow and coddles his
whisker. Mr.. Howard wishes lis to i'm
agine Mr.. Julian in the presence ofQueen
Victoria, Gov. Tflden, or even Mayor
Barnum, on public occa-
sion, leaning on his elbow,
playing with his chin and deliver
ing public petition! Mr.. Howard re-
marks: "lt's absurd" From all this
we infer that Mr. Howard does not be-
lieve preacher should, standing on one
leg and wiggling the other while he cod
dies his whisker, indulge in petitions to
the Lord, and doubtless Mr.. Howard is
correct. Beecher's style Of addressing
the Lord is better than Jullan's. While
Offering his petitions he does not wiggle
either leg nor coddle his whisker. He
stands upon both his feet; having no
whisker 10 coddle, he clasps his hands
and rolls his thumbs around each;he closes
his eyes, and looks solemn. In this man
ner, which is altogether unobjectionable,
Mr.. Beecher petitions the Lord, and
never fails to give Him very excellent adj
vice, which Plymouth church people
nave no doubt lie acts upon. If they
mad doubt OF this, they would not fail
70 manifest their dissatisfaction with the
Lord, and class Him with the friends OF
