HORNBY EXPLAINS HIS WAYS

persons willing to solicit "business" for
"Doctor" William Hornby. 510 North

""r surgery or cauterunuon.
So H'oroughly iirofltahle Is the "doctor's"
Uttlo game that he la willing to pay I
K"0'1 rcvH 10 solicitors nnd divide rich I
iTO""r) rewarus mat are urougnt to
him by what he describes ns his "world
famed remedy."
Recently n young man called upon the
"doctor" nt his home and office on North
Twentieth street. He didn't look a bit
sick, but the doctor hnd no way of know
ing thnt the young mad did not have a
cancer, wfirt. wen or other growth con
cealed somewhere about bis person and
the visitor was affably greeted. The
"doctor" Is a clever operator. It must
be admitted, and doubtless could achieve
no Inconsiderable success If he should
devote his talents to some legitimate busi
ness, though ho might have to perform
more nctual work than painting suspicion
looking growths with mysterious looking !
bluck lliiuld. i
Wliiil the "Dtivtor" lloes. !
The young man explained that he was I
not nt deaths toor and had not been
"given up" by any refutable physicians
or surgeons. According to the "doctor's"
literature, he has performed many cures
"after the patients hnve been treated
unsuccessfully by eminent physlelnns and
have been operated upon by them with
tho knife, often tho second time.". The
doctor offeres no proof of this, but then,
people, who have been driven to despera
tion by disease arc not Inclined to bo
Insistent for proofs' when hope of nny
kind Is held out to them.
At nny rate, the visitor did not pro-
pose to be added to tho fictitious horde
of mythical suffers snatchert from li.
fore tjic keen sickle of tho grim reaper.
He cpnfesscd. to the "doctor" thqt he
had seen the "doctor's" ndvertlse'ments
In newspaper, and thought that perhaps
he and the "doctor" might "do business
together," to mutual financial advantage.
Solicitors Are Ilniidy,
He Informed tho "doctor" that he had
been employed ns nn ngent for tho ex
ploiters of a fake "cure-all" In the form
of an electric vibrator until those faklrn
had been exposed by Tho Omaha Bee and
dlven out of business In Omaha. Ho told
the "doctor" he knew the vibrator was
a fako and lacked all the curntlve vir
tues claimed for It.
This seemed to Impress the "doctor."
who made evident his appreciation of .the
value of services, such a young man
might be oble to render him.
"Doctor" Hornby said ho never before
had employed solicitors regularly to get
business for him. but It would be a good
scheme. Bo fore tho Interview was ter
minated the "doctor" urged tho young
man to go out and "get busijiess" and
handed him xeveral pamplets to aid him
In this noble work as a, public bene
factor. Instruction Are Simple.
The "doctor" said in part:
"I charge whatever tho patient can pay.
You don't havo to find out If they have
a scancer. I can cure any kind of a
growth except a cancer that Is too far
gone, and they can't tell whether It Is
cancer or not. For good cases, say from
1100 up, I will pay you 2C per ceht of
what I get out of them. That Is the
kind I am after. I don't care much for
the Uttlo cases, hut when thoy come to
me I taek them, nnd If a man hasn't got
anything I cure him for nothing. On the
little ctustal will give you 10 per cent of
what I egt.
"I don't see why you j:ouldn'tpBt some
business for me. It Is easy when yon
find a pcraon that lias got something
wrong with them, I gave, a man JSO Just
the other day for getting me a good
case. It required no work at all, Just
a few minutes' talking. There are plenty
of peoplo who have cancer or something
like It and have plenty of money and are
able to pay well. I got $1,500 for one
case not long ago."
Dlxpiite Between "Doctor."
The visitor noted In one of the pamh
lets a purported testimonial from Dr.
Myrta A. Wells, physician, surgeon and
osteopath. He asked "Doctor" Hornby
If It was not unusual for a physician and
suregon to arrove of his work, even in
tho rather "left-handed" stylo employed
by Dr, Wells. He said It was, but he
had convinced Dr. Wells of his nbl A
patient had tried to employ him nnd Dr.
Wells at the same time and a dispute
between the two doctors had arisen.
"Doctor" Hornby said he had Insisted
that the patient require either him or
Dr. Welia to "step out." Dr. Wells was
required to withdraw and he effected a
cure, 'he said. Since then "Boctor"
Hornby asserted, Dr. Wells has had
faith In his mervclous power.
Conference Interrupted.
On the following day the young man
called upon Dr. Wells for Information re
garding "Doctor" Hornby, 'AVhlle he was
discussing the cancer "specialist" with
Dr. "Wells. "Doctor" Hornby came in for
a talk with the women physician and
aurgetfn. Dr. AVells bade him wait for
her in her private office while she fin
ished her conversation with Ttfe young"
man. From the private office "Doctor"
Hornby ttepped Into the corridor. The

grass about a month away, speculation In
rlfo ns td what this legislature will really
do. In so far an tho house Is concorned
It will not rculrevcry much time to dis
cuss bills which are really important In
that they change present Important laws
materially, but tho unimportant measure
will require more tlmo than Ot
hers will bo able to discover ti
At least that Is the way things h
going.
The housfl Is dallying along with I
things and such a matter as changing
tho taxing system ot tho state creates no
more Interest than 'tho appearance on the
floor of n lobbyist. Ono member who
really has tho welfaro ot the state at
henrt and who. If laws are to bo
changed would really tlkn to see them
changed to suit present conditions and In
line with what the people want, Is get
ting anxious over the situation. Tie did
not want his name used and one can
readily understand whyIt would simply

entirely too much tlmo to trivial mat-,

Ten Million Demnnilril.
There Is now pending in the houae nnd
before the tlhanco committee yet to com
before the house, bills appropriating t
the neighborhood ot $10,000,000. Of courso
this sum Will hot bo appropriated by tho
leglslaturerind the Indications are prac
tically all for a great majority of tha
special bills for money will be defeated.
Thla will Include of course tho SllO.OflO
asked by sbmo persons In Dodge county
with which to buy the Fremont Normal
school for tho state. The excuse for th
proposed purchase Is that this prlvatn
school has to compote with the state
school, competition starting after It had
been established. The atnte having pur
chased the Wayno school adherent nf
the bill Insist It should also buy tho
Fremont school.
T. P. Kennard Is making his hardest
fight for 310,000 alleged to be due him for
commission In collecting from the govern
ment money due the state. Thin claim
has been up before and It waa killed the
last time in 1903. Mr. Kennard haa pub
lished a circular which ho sent to al the
members setting out his sldo of the ques
tion, In his circular he says this will b
his last flgl)t. He has a formidable array
n ftulont helping him.

are asking for nn appropriation of
$160,000. Representative of the exposition
who havo been here insist they will re
ceive favorable action at the hands of tho
legislature, but members so far are not
expressing themselves probably a ma
jority of them do not know the bill has
been Introduced. Several of the atate In
stitutions desire more land and havo
asked for large appropriations to buy tt.
Then there is tho usual request for the
lovy for tho state university, and the, nor
mal schools want to get their money the
same way hereafter.
Clnlina tn He Thrown Out.
Tho'clalms committee will throw out a
bunch of claims. The indications now aro
that John O, Yolser will not got a look In
for his $2,400 'asked for services ns a mem
ber of the ptate pardon board, and neither
will Jcfforls and Burbanlc get anything
from tho Btute for looking after the in
terests of tho members of the Douglaa
delegation against whom contests were
filed?" Chairman Fries of thla committee
believes It Is not up to the stato lo pay
these hills. This committee will try to
finish up Its work Tuesday night. Tha
big salary and general appropriation bllla
probably will be Introduced by AVednes
day. "A lot of sentiment exists against tha
