WISEST MAN IN WORLD. That la the Pleasant Delnalon That Allen Folaom Labors Underlie Karaped From the Wortnern Hospital About Year Ami and Una Been Living; Here Willi RelativesSome Ilia Comments Are AmiiMliittT, Allen C. Folaom, an Insane man who labors under many delusions, one of them being that ho is "the wisest man In the world," was tukun back this forenoon to the Northern Btate Hospital for the Insane at Winnebago, from which institution he effected his escape a year or so ago. It has been known to tho authorities for some time that Folsoirt was living with relatives In this city, but as ha waa quiet and not dangerously demented no effort was made, to have him returned to the has pltul. Tht morning, however, Folsom's mental condition grew considerably worse and us a result he was ordered taken back to the hospital.

About 9:30 o'clock Folsom appeared at the county Jail, and accosting Jailor Ritschlie, said ho wanted to see Michael who is being held on a charge of murder. Mr. Rltschke Informed FolHom that he could not see Madl without permission from the sheriff. Folsom grew somewhat excited and after an animated dialogue with Me. KIIhi like demanded to ho could find the siherlff.

He was dl rocted to the sheriff' office In the court house and at once proceeded there. Sheriff Simpson was in the office when Folsom entered and that gentleman made It known In no uncertain terms that he desired to see Madl. Sheriff Simpson Informed him that he would not be permitted to do so, and Folsom wanted, to know what authority the Pherlff had to keep him, Folsom, out of Jail. Mr. Simpson replied that It might not be so hard a matter to get Into Jail as Folsom Imagined and advised him to go about his business.

Folsom took the hint and left the office, when it was suggested to the sheriff that tho man, whom tho sheriff did not know, might be Insane. Mr. Simpson wns more than half of that opinion himself and he started out after Folsom and brought him back notwith standing tho protests of the latter. Af ter being brought back to the snerirr 8 office Folsom's unsound mental condi tion manifested Itself in an unmistakable manner. He claimed to know all about religion and told he was the "wisest man in ail tho world.

He informed County Judge Cleveland that the latter did not know anything about law and told William C. Bouck, who happened to be in the office, that ho should remove his glasses and put belladonna In his eyes if he wanted to see better. Noting that District Attorney Carl D. Jackson wu also preujiit, Folsom took small vial which was partially filled with some kind of ll(Uld from hla pocket and holding It toward Mr. Jackson ho asked: "Do you know what thut is?" Mr, Jackson replied that ho did not know, Folsom then said: "It Is polHon; you take It." In the meantime It was ascertained that Folsom hud been an Inmate of the Northern state hospital and had escaped therefrom October 6, 1905.

Judge Cleveland thereupon ordered him taken back there under tho original commitment. Sheriff Simpson took Folsom to the hospital on the 10:33 Chicago Northwestern train. Folsom went along peaceably enough, but he talked luces-Buntly all the way. At tho depot, before Sheriff Simpson and his un'ortunute charge boarded the train, a really amusing Incident occurred. John A.

Aylword, Democrats candidate for governor, was there waiting for tho train on which ho was going north and Sheriff Simpson shook hands and exchanged greet ings with him. Folsom pushed himself forward and pointing his finger at Mr. Aylward said: "You're a lawyer, aren't you?" Mr. Aylward acknowledged that he was a momber of the legal profession, whereupon Folsom said: "Well, I can tell you what your brain Is composed of. It is about eighty per cent water and the rest Is the yolk of art eg, Do you know how a he.n Hatches an egg? I do.

I am the wisest man In the world. I can cure typhoid fever In twenty-four hours." By this time Mr. Aylward had surmised that Folsom was not In his right mind and humored the man by asking him how ho could cure typhoid fever In twenty-four hours. Folsom replied, "by giving the patient plenty of kerosene." That wa enough for the distinguished Democratic politician and ho hastily retired from the presence of Sheriff Simpson and his "wlsu" companion, Folsom's dementia Is largely of ft religious character. It Is stated.

He 1 about thirty years old and has been living with relatives at 28 Grand avenue. M0NAHAN-KLIMA EVENT. Well-Known Young People United In Marriage at St. John's Church. Wednesday, Wednesday morning at nine o'clock at fit.

(By Associated Press.) Washington, D. Oct. 20. Secretary Wilson of the department of agriculture today promulgated the regulations under which the recently enacted pure food and drug act will be enforced. The commission appointed to prepare the regulations, consisted ot Dr.

H. W. Wiley, of the agricultural department, Dr. S. North of the department of commerce and labor, and James I Gerry of the treasury depart- ment.

In a letter to the secretaries of, their several departments they say their agreement on the regulations was unanimous. To the regulations Secretaries Wilson, Metcalf and Shaw have given their approval. must state contents. i The section of the regulation re specting the labeling of products re- i quires that tho Ingredients of the pack age snail be stated, eo that the pur- ehaer may know precisely what he la buying. In tho matter of coloring the requlre- nrninuo that no Ingredient known to be deleterious to human health shall be used by manufacturers.

This regu- latlon applies with particular force to the manufacture of candles. ADULTERATION BARRED. Adulterations, particularly of drugs, Is prohibited, but standard drugs will i not be considered adulterated provided that they are branded eo as to show i their actual strength or purity. Pol- sonouH or deleterious preservatives shall only bo applied externally and shall be of a kind that will not permeate to the Interior of the product ami the preservative must be of such character that until removed, the food products are Inedible. Misbranding of food or drug products Is guarded against particularly.

The label on every product must boar the name of the product, the place or manufacture and, must Show) whether the article is a compound mixture or blend; and must designate the Ingredients and proportions in the case of drugs and foods. The use of any false or misleading statement, design or device on the label is specially prohibited. DIFFF.RENCEB OF OPINION. It Is known that some differences of opinion arose among tho members of the commission respecting Important details of the rules. A originally drafted the rule especially prohibited the use of generic names a applied to products of American manufacture.

For Instance champagne, as distinguishing a kind of wine, could not be used In connection with or American wine of that kind because it was held to ba misleading If not actually deceptive. Geographlcul names generally, as applied to food or drug products, or to wines and liquors v. ere not permitted to be used under the regulation as prepared by the commission. GKOGUAPHICAL NAMES. I When tho regulations were submitted to the secretaries of the three departments for approval, some changes were made In them of a very Important character.

The use of geographical names, for instance, was provided for In cases where It was thought the name were generic or It was provided, however, that it should be Indicated on the package containing) the product that it was ot American manufacture. Thus, champagne la required to be labelled American champagne or California champagne, so that the purchaser, while he knows that he is getting a certain kind of wine knows also that the wine Is made In America and not in France. The regulations apply to other products In a similar way. It wns tho effort of the commission to Insure to tho purchaser of any food or drug product absolute purity. GOES ON SMASHING CRUSADE.

He was sentenced to pay a fine of $10 and costs, with the alternative of twenty1) days In the workhouse. Not having the wherewithal to liquidate the fine, Wll-I son was obliged to take the workhouse end of the sentence. Wilson' offense conslali'd in kicking down the door of house on Eighth street and otherwise creating a disturbance after gaining entrance to the place.
