» THE, SAN 'TRA CISCO CALL, FRIDAY, APRIL \ 29 23, 1904. ADYERTISEMENTS. Miss Alice M. Smith, of Minneapolis, Minn,, tells how woman’s monthly suffering may be quickly and permanently relieved by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. “Dear Mzs. Prvxmaw:—1I have never before given my endorse- ment for any medicine, but Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound has added so much to my life and happiness that 1 feel like akir ex: n in this ease. For two years every month I woul have two days of severe pain and could find no relief, but one day when visiting a friend I run across Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound, —she had used it with the best results and advised me to try it. I found that it worked wonders with me; I now experience no pain and had to use a few bottles to bring about t_lifl wonderful change. I use it occasionally now when I am exceptionally tired or worn out.”— Miss Avice M. Surri, 804 Third Ave., South Minneapolis, Minn., Chair- man Executive Committee Minneapblis Study Club. Beauty and strength in women vanish early in life because of monthly pain or some menstrual irregularity. Many suffer silently and see their best gifts fade away. Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound helps women preserve roundness of form and freshness of face because it makes their entire female organism heaithy. It carries women safely through the various natural crises and is the safeguard of woman’s health. The truth about this great medicine is told in the letters from women published in this paper constantly. Mrs. C. Kleinschrodt, Morrison, Ill., says: — _ “Dear Mgs. Prvxsax: —I have suffered ever since I was thirteen years of age with my menses. They were irregular and very painful. I doctored a great deal but received no benefit. “A friend advised me to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which I did, and after taking a few bottles of it, I found great relief. “Menstruation is now regular and without pain. I am enjoying better heaith than I have for sometime. How is it possible for us to make it plainer that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound will positively help all sick women ? All women are constituted alike, rich and poor, high and low, — all suffer from the same organic troubles. Surely, no one can wish to remain weak and sickly ged with life and without hope for the future, when proof is 0 un~ able that Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound will ¢ suffering — all womb and ovarian troubles, and all the ills women. FORFEIT if we cannot forthwith produce the original letters and signatures of above testimonials, whick will prove their absolute genuineness. Lydia K. Pinkham Medicine Oo., Lynn, Mass.

JEAN BOYD S TRUE WIDOW Court Rejects the Claim of Margaret Hollowbush to the Big Estate of Capitalist RUMORS OF COMPROMISE Judge Coffey’s Signature to Distribution Decree Ends a Sensational Case Margaret Hollowbush, the former wife of Alexander Boyd, who, when the capitalist died, came forward and tried to claim his $1,500,000 estate on the ground that Boyd had fraudulently ob- | tained a divorce from her more than | forty years ago, is not and never was, the widow of Boyd and therefore is not | entitled to any portion of his estate. | Boyd’s oply widow is Jean McGregor ! Boyd, to whom he was married in this | city in January, 1862, five years after he Obtained a divorce from the woman who is now Mrs. Hollowbush, and who | became Mrs. Hollowbush fifteen days after the decree of divorce was grant- ed. The decree was not fraudulently obtained, and therefore Mrs. Hollow- bush’s claim amounts to nil. These facts are set forth in a-decree of par- tial distribution of the Boyd estate to Mrs. Boyd prepared by Attorneys Gar- ret McEnerney and G. H. Mastick, le- gal representatives of Mrs. signed yesterday by Judge Coffey. Thus ends one of the most sensational ac- tions ever commenced in the local Pro- bate Court, a very tame finish consid- ering the amount of money involved and the prominence of the parties con- cerned. Mrs. Hollowbush once ac- cepted $3500 for her signature to a waiver of ail the claims she might have against Boyd. Rumor has it that she has accepted a slightly larger sum for her withdrawal in the present pro- ceedings, but the rumor is unconfirmed, | the attorneys in the case refusing to discuss the matter. BOYD A PIONEER. Alexander Boyd was one of the pio- neers of California. He came here in 1848, bringing with him his young wite, who, when he married her in New York in 1841, was a Margaret Ander- son. Th located in Sacramento. Differences arose and on November 16, 1857, Boyd seciired a decree of divorce. Fifteen days after the decree was granted Mrs. Boyd became the wife of Henry Hollowbush, and after a short time went with him to Philadelphia, Jeaving behind the son born of her union to Boyd. In 1891 the son died, aving two children, who are at present New York, and who, under their in granpdfather’s will, are each left $200 a month for a period of 125 months. Nothing was heard of Mrs. Hollow- bush, and Boyd, who, in January, 1862, had married Jean McGregor, remained here and by careful investment amass- ed a large fortune, purchasing blocks of realty in this city in what now known as the wholesale district, and also buying lands in various parts of He also invested in gilt- edged securities, with the result that in a fex s he was considered one of the althiest San Francisco capi- s w talists. FORGETS FIRST WIFE. L In the meantime remained in Philadelphia. communication with the Boyds and in conszquence the capitalist and his fa ily, which consisted of his wife and two sons, George Davis Boyd and Henry St. Clair Poyd, were greatly surprised | | | when in March, 1897, she arrived in San | Franecisco and called upon the capital- | What between st view took place at the inter- Boyd and the woman from whom at that time he had been | divorced forty vears is not known, but it resulted in the signing by Mrs. Hol- lowbush of a document declaring that she was not the wife of Alexander Rmd and that for the sum of $3500 she ed any claim she might have t him or his estate. Then she returned to Philadelphia, and was not heard of again until a year after Boyd’s death, which occurred in Feb- ruary, 1902. Then she startled the fam- ily by appearing, through Lloyd & Wood arnd Bishop, Wheeler & Hoeffler, as the widow of Boyd. She asked to have his entire fortune distributed to her his widow, claiming that she w tained divorce. 3oyd left a will devising his entire estate to Jean McGregor Boyd, whom he declared to be his wife. She was only devised a life interest in the es- tate, the property upon her death to go | to the two sons. i g T. L. Heaton Married. T. L. Heaton, deputy superintendent | of schools, quietly left the city last week and on Tuesday was married to Miss Carrie Gilmore at the bride's| home in Eureka. Mr. Heaton and| his bride returned to this city yester- | ! day and the popular official was hear- tily congratulated by his co-workers. ADVERTISEMENTS.
