CARL VR0OMAN'S SCHEME.
He Wants to Make George NJ. Num-
ger Governor, and Has
Scored One Point.
TOPEKA, Nov. 9

TOPEKA, Nov. 25.--(SpeciaL) Carl Vroo-
man, the Parsons socialist, wants to be
it, in the Populist party of Kansas. and
is laying his wires accordingly. 1t has
developed that he was the chief mover in
the conspiracy to depose w. T. Upton as
secretary of the Pop state committee, and
the only way Riddle held his job as chair
man was to join forces with Vrooman to
oust Upton.
Vrooman is ambitious. He wants to be
the whole thing in his party. Several
times he locked horns with Upton on ac-
count of political questions which arose.
He could not handle the secretary. SO he
decided to get rid of him. 1t took very
quiet work on his part for several months.
but he finally Won. Upton was not aware
of any fight being made on him until the
day of the meeting, when it was too late.
Vrooman knows that he cannot control
Breidenthal in case the latter is nOmin 1ted
for governor and wins, so he has picked up
George n. Munger, Of Greenwood. and is
running him for governor. II Munger
should be nominated and elected, Vrooman
expects to control the patronage and run
the governors office for his own political
benefit Curran, the newly elected secre-
tary of the Pop committee. is a Munger
man. However, he may not be able to dc

1t looks now as If the Breidenthal faction
would control the state convention. In this
event Bob Semple will be made chairman
and W. T. Upton will be installed as sec

MULF0RD WASTED NO TIME.
Nebraska Colonel Divorced in Ne
braska Thursday and Married
in Nevada Friday.

OMAHA, Nov. 25.-Omaha people were
much surprised at the announcement of
the marriage of Major Mulford, of the
Twenty-ninth volunteer regiment. He went
out as major of the First Nebraska and
came nome as its colonel. He had been
married for several years. and there were
no reports of any differences until after
his return from Manila. Then IT was noised
about that he had practically abandoned
his wife. She had dcne everything in her
power to bring about his promotion to the
colonelcy of the First Nebraska, but when
he returned ii was soon made evident TO
her that she was no longer to share his
joys and sorrows. When the colonel re-
turned to Omaha. she started divorce pro-
ceedngs on the ground of desertion, Null
ford il IS alleged. agreeing to pay her a
stimulated sum per month for n1ainten-
ancs. though this does not appear in the
pleadinss The decree of divorce was grant
ed Thursday, but has not Yet been entered
as a matter of record, owing to the fact
that the costs in the case have not yet
been paid Lawyers say that, until the de-
cree is entered up, the matter stands as
though no divorce had been granted and
that. in case Mrs. Mulford No. l should
so desire, she could successfully prosecute
him for bigamy under the Nebraska law.
The first Mrs Nulford is now in Wash
ington with friends and with her 4-year-
old child.

Stanley has not spent his entire time in

alleged interview with the governor in
which he said shortly after his election
and before his Inauguration that he would
attend TO the states business as carefully
as he had his own private affairs and
that he would be found at his office every
day from in tn morning until at night.
Following this comes a padded account OF
the number Of times the governor has
been ashe-t from his ofiice. This is given
to show that he has paid no attention

out of the state four times since his in

100000 Have Been Re-
funded.

TOPEKA, Nov. 2s.-(SpeciaL) Agents of
Eastern bond houses say that the refund
ing bond business in Kansas has about
been cleared up and that they will have
to enter new fields. During the past year
at least $4,000 of municipal. township
and county bonds bearing a high rate of
interest have been refunded at n rate of
from y. 10 per cent One firm in Topeka,
alone, refunded over 100000 in bonds.
Many of the old bonds refunded were not
due, but they contained an optional clause
, which permitted their redepmtion after five
years. All option bonds were gobbled up.
The only old bonds now outstanding and
drawing a high rate are those which con-
tain no optional clause Bank Commis-
sioner Breidenthal says that Kansas is nov
sending less interest money back East than
il has in the past fifteen years.
