BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH
OF ONE OF ABILENEs LEADING
BUSINESS MEN.
A Condensed History of the Business
Life of Mart P. Shearer-His New
Store a Success-Read and Trade
Where 1t Will Do You Good.

The subject of this sketch first saw
the light of day on Nov. 8, 1858, in the
city of York, Pa. In the spring of
1857 his family moved to Iowa, where
young Mart remained until 1878. He
attended the common schools of his
county until he reached the age of IA,
when he was apprenticed to learn the
ShOemaking business, starting in at
the bottom round by entering a large
store with a manufacturing shop in
connection. The energetic character
of young Mart here manifested itself
and he determined to have an educa-
zion. Working hard all day he at
tended night school, and by persever-
ance succeeded III mastering a
thorough business education.
In the spring of 1878 he started out
in the world on his own hook, going to
the western part of the state, where lie
remained until 1882, when he came to
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1891-12-31

the business went under second time,
W. W. Davis buying the stock and
retaining Mr.. Shearer in his old capa-
city as manager. Up to this time the
store had rather a checkered career,
but Mart never doubted that with the
right kind of mettle behind the throne.
the business could be made a financial
success, and time has proven that he
was correct.
From this time on, the business
grew and prOspered, and as long as
Mart remained with Mr.. Davis the
store enjoyed the most lucrative shoe
business in the county.
Mr.. SheaIer remained with w. w.
Davis until Oct. 23d of the present
year when he opened up Shearer's Shoe
store on Broadway in the old Kenyon
room, where he has one of the neatest
and best appointed stores in the state.
The stock carried is one of the finest
and best that could be bought and
there is not an old shoe in the store
tue entire stock being made to order
by expert manufacturers from Mr.
Shearer's personal orders. The ladies
will find shoes of all styles, grades and
widths in hand turned, machine madt
and Goodyear welts. The same can be
said of mems shoes in cOrdOvan, kan
CARGO, dongola and calf skin. In
addition to these, he has specially
fine and substantial line of misses
and chlldren's school Shoes, These
shoes are warranted. A full line of
rubber goods. such as overshOes, rubber
boots, arctics and warm goods OF every
kind, including the famous DOdge's
felts.
AS as a shoe man Mart P. SbeareT
has no superior in the state of Kansas.
He thoroughly understands the minut-
est details of the business and is
acquainted with the virtue Of piecr
CT leather as well as he is will
his A b C's. He has grown up in the
business, has thoroughly mastered its
every detail and when he warrants d
shoe OF boot, it can safely be put down
that the article will meet the require
ments of the warrant. The reader
would rather trade in store that is
run by thorough shoe man, man
who knows how to buy as well as sell,
because he is confident of receiving his
moneys worth. Since he opened up
the store has enjoyed phenomenal
business, more so than he dared antiei-
pate and there has not been dull day
since the doors were opened. AS a
salesman, Nr. shearer is prompt.
courteous and obliging and is ably
assisted by his daughter, Pearl.
Mr.. Shearer is one Of the leading
lodge men Of the state. He has been a
member Of the K. of p. lodge for
seventeen years and has held every
Office within the gift Of the order.
he is now the Grand CbancelIor's
District Deputy by virtue of having

Christian Work to Be Prosecuted
Less Extensively.
Considerable surprise was manifested
today when it was announced that the
local branch of the Y. NJ. G. a. had
disbanded and that the furniture of
the rooms is to be sold. The organi-
cation has been for Eve years one of
the leading religious bodies of the city
and the action was not expected by the
public.
At special meeting Of the board of
directors Monday evening, all the
members except one being present,
also acting State Secretary w. R.
Johnston, after careful coDsldera-
ton the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS, Conditions are such as to
render expedient the discontinue
ance Of the Young Mems Christian
Association Of Abilene, therefore,
Resolved, That We herein express
our devout gratitude to God for the
blessings of the association in the past
in the saving of young men and the
development Of Christian workers, also
our deep regret at this seemingly
necessary step.
Resolved, That we proceed at once
to the sale of all furniture and property
of the association, to the liquidation of
all indebtedness and the suspension of
the corporation,
The REFLECTOR interviewed several
men bers of the board of directors as
to the reason and purposes of the
action. 1t was due, they said, to
financial stringency more than anything
else, The organization has had for
some months much difficulty in keeping
up the expense of rooms and paying a
secretary. The required $1,000 to
$500 could be raised with much diff
Guilty, especially as several leading
members at the start have moved
away. The outlook for 1892 was such
that it was deemed best to stop honor
ably and in businesslike manner
instead of waiting for the order to die
of ipapitiop,
AS to the future it was stated that
there is no intention of abandoning
work. Another organization for local
work viii be formed on more modest
and less expensive scale. The Yorh
viii hereafter consist more than form
erly of holding country meetin0a
| cottage prayer meetings and similal
efforts. It is also probable that tn,
sunday afternoon meetings viii b
continued. We understand that Sec
Rotary Sherman, though Of course no
retaining his position, will remain il

abundant opportunity for growth
Nearly every politician of prominence
in the state is here this morning and
many more who imagine themselves

tieiaDs began last night to seriously
consider the effect of the senatorial

Jones, chairman of the democratic Gems
trail committee, dropped into the Cope
land lobby smiling knowingly and then
fed. The democrats were all for Hud-
son until it was rur1ored that in event
of his defeat he would turn his batter
les loose on Gov. Humphrey and the
men who defeated him The bitterness
which the campaign has engendered
will be felt more in the legislature than
in the state campaign. Ady has always
been fire eater.
Maj. ]. K. Hudson was the first sem
atorial candidate to reach the guberla-
torial Office. He entered the private
executive cham Der at 1890 and held the
governor for more than an hour. No
one else was permitted t. enter. This
personal appeal to the governor will
unquestionably be criticised by the
candidates and will probably establish
precedent. On personal grounds,
Maj. Hudson has strong claims on the
governor. Hudson's candidacy is con-
Quoted more openly than that of any
other candidate. He has boldly stated
that his claims for the position are
stronger than any other candidate, be-
cause he has never asked for Office and
is convinced that the governor owes
his election to the course which the
Capital pursued,
