(From Wednesdays Daily.)

Ex-Mayor Kelly received tele-
gram today forenoon, announcing
the death of E. L. Ross at Omaha,
Nebraska, this morning. No
further particulars were given.
Mr.. Ross was proprietor of the
Sherlock hotel at Madison where he
has been for two years since leaving
Baraboo. He had a fast trotting
horse which he had entered in the
races at Omaha, which explains his
presence there. On Monday his
wife received telegram that he
was i'll and she fastened to him.
Deceased was about "A years of
age. For five years he was pro-
prietor of the Warren House in this
city, and as he has a wife and three
children buried in the Baraboo
cemetery, it is probable that his
body will be brought here.
Mr.. Ross was a generous, big
hearted mau, and many expressions
of sorrow are heard.
A later telegram to THE News
states that heart failure was the
cause of death.
E'rom Thursdays Daily.l
Body Brought Home.
The body of the late E. L. Ross
arrived at Madison today forenoon.
Last Saturday he was found un-
conscious in a Turkish bath es-
tablishment at Omaha, and was
taken to a hospital where he died.
The deceased was a member of
the Elks and the Madison Hotel
Mems association, and those or
carnations will attend the funeral
as bodies.
Alderman Foley went to Madison
today toget information concerning
the funeral arrangements.
The body will be brought to Bara-
boo tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock
for interment. The local Elks will
act as an escort from the train and
short services will be held at the
train.
F'rom Fridays Daily.)
The body of the late E. L. Ross
was brought from Madison today
forenoon in a special scar, and was
attended by about forty Elks from
the Capital City. The Baraooo
lodge of Elks met the body at the
train and escorted it to the ceme-
terY where there were short services
from the Elks ritual. The remains
we're laid at rest by the side of his
three children and his first wife.
The widow. son Willie, and Fred
Ross of Red Wing, Mimi, a brother
of the deceased, we're present at
the burial. The floral designs con-
tributed by the organizations of
which he had been a member, were
very beautiful and costly. 1t is
learned that Mr.. Ross left his busi-
ness affairs in excellent shape and
that he carried about $17, 900 in

1t was next to impossible to catch the
southern leaders mapping. There was
an insignificant garrison at Fredericks-
burg all the time that the armies were
maneuvering and lighting north of the
Rappahannock. Even if the garrison
had been sleepy one Sumner would
have had no chance to surprise it when
he reached the river. for on the very
day that he started for Fredericksburg,
Nov. -, Lee had sent a regiment Of
infantry and battery of artillery
from his camps at Culpeper, some
miles above, to keep ward over the
crossing.
But Lees activity did not stop with
the sending of trivial reinforcement
to the feeble garrison already on the
ground. The first detachment was fol
= lowed up by two divisions of Long
streets infantry, w. II. F. Lees bri-
gada of cavalry and battalion of ar
tillery. Had Sumner crossed his men
over the fords. as he wished to do, i'm
mediately upon his arrival, they would
have met with strong opposition before
securing the famous Marye's Heights
above the town. At best only small
parties could have crossed at the fords,
and small parties would have been
useless in the face of the Confederates
already on the ground and rapidly ap-
preaching. The delay of the pontoons.
which did not arrive until a week after
they had been promised, was fatal to
effecting a surprise. Had they arrived
promptly Sumner could have sent
across the river fifteen brigades of in
fantry and thirteen batteries, a force
large enough to cope with Lees van
guard. The failure led to the bloody
disaster of Fredericksburg in Deem

The order had been given out that
there should be no formal parade Of

lite chief appeared on horseback headed
for Washington the soldiers rushed to
the roadside pelmell and began to
swing their caps and cheer i'll chorus.

the road, and other soldiers took the
cue and lined the fields on both sides
of the way. After he had ridden

Mcclellan rode slowly down the line
OH his mettlesome battle charger, Devil
Dan, waving his cap and bowling, first
to the right and then to the left, and
this continued for many miles through
the camps of all the brigades, divisions
and corps he had led on the peninsula.
1t was a trying hour for the Army of
the Potomac and for the country as
well, and McClellan's last words to the
officers and men were, Il ask you to
stand by your new chief as you have
stood by me-
On taking second thought the army
was disposed to congratulate itself up
on the choice of Burnside for a new
leader, since a change was inevitable,
He was gallant and bold, and while he
had never held so high and important
a command he had won small victories,
one after another, and every great gen
eral must come to full maturity by
slow experience. The. soldiers wanted
to win and would follow with enthusi-
assn any leader who promised victory.
Burnside's plan of campaign was
very elaborate and had the weakness
Of leaving the enemy and general cir
cumstances out of account. He pro-
posed to hurry forward one corps of
troops to occupy Fredericksburg and
gather at that point rations for the
army for twelve days. Supplied for a
two weeks campaign the soldiers
would march for Richmond and attack
before Lee could bring his army to the
defense of the Confederate capital.

of fighting for the passage of the Rap

to steal a march across the river and
