 Many Years.
 The announcement of the death of the Rev. Dr. Alonzo G. Shears will painfully sur prise large portion of the community. He died at 8:15 last evening after brief illness, although he had been ailing with kidney trouble for some years. Until last Thursday evening he had been about the streets in ap- parently his usual health. Few men in the city were more widely known than Dr. Shears His career has been long and useful one and his life has been freighted with good for his fellow man. Educated for the ministry, he has ofdciated years ago in many parishes clad in the robes which distinguish the priesthood of the Episcopal church.
