PATHETIC SCENES AS
 THEY GOT VOUCHERS
Cannot Understand Why They Should Get s12.So for Three auartSFs and Then Have the Amount
 Cut to S5.6O
BY WALTER HARPER

There was keen and sore disappoint- ment among the old Confederate vet erans and widows of veterans yester- day.
 When they trooped up to the probate judges office yesterday to get their last quarterly pension for the fiscal year they found their allowances less than half of former payments.
 The distress was manifest upon ev- cry face.
 The Age-Herald artist, who was present at the probate office as they filed in, sketched a group of them, and individuals just as they appeared.
 It was pathetic sight, however good and wise might have been the reason on the part of the state and its governing officials.
 But here is the story as told of the occurrence yesterday:

that the La Center baseball club

score of 3 to o.
No such a thing happened last
Sunday, Without a wrangle La
Center won a fve-inning game from
Kevil with but seven of It's players
on deck, the others being substi-
tutes. by the score OF to 4. in
favor OF La Center. The game was
not commenced until after 3 o'clock
and before the game was called the
managers OF the rival teams agreed
that but five innings should be
played on account of the lateness
OF the hour. This was done and La
Center won by the score aforestated.
You also say that Mcneil secured
a home run. This also is untrue.
