Colonel Sapp's ' Sufferings Ended by Death
Yesterday Afternoon ,
THE CITY PLUNGED IN SORROW
Surrounded by llln Knmlly Ho I'onuc-
fully BrnntliuH Ills Imst Cliuroli
Notices Minor Mention
nnd 1'crsonnl.
Hon. W. P. Snpp died nt 2 : IS yesterday af
ternoon. Death cnmo without a shock. The
oycs closed peacefully us If a natural sleep
had overcame him. No struggle marked the
end , nnd the watchoH wbo had been beside
him so patiently nnd had so tenderly cared
for him since ho was stricken with paralysis
a month ago , scarcely knew when the end
. nine.
Yesterday morning ho awo'co from n long
lecp and roused up enough to faintly rccos-
il/.ohts friend and family , but ho soon ro-
upscd Into a semi-unconscious state , In which
o remained during the remainder of the
brcnoon. Between 112 and 2 o'clock thcro
, vcre several Intervals when It was thought no
ecognl/ed those around him. It wns evident
'rom early morning that he was dying , nnd
ils physicians were with him almost con-
tantly. At a o'clock his friends were noti
fied that the end wns near nt hand , and they
assembled around the bed and watched the
'ailing pulse gradually grow weaker until It
Inally ceased. Death came so peacefully
hut they did not Know that all was over
until the physician who was holding the
dying man's wrist rose from the bed and so
imouncod that he was dead.
The public announcement of his death was
nade during the busiest period of the day ,
nit it created a profound sensation. The
iiumlrcds of old citizens nud business men
ivlio have known and admired Colonel Snpp
or years paused In the midst of their busi-
icss to express their sorrow nnd send mes-
igcs of sympathy to the relatives. The news
auspd general sorrow throughout the city ,
nnd was a fair Indication of the high esteem
in which ho was hold by those who knew
him long and intimately. Particularly
strong manifestations uf sorrow cnmo
from the members of the bar.
None of the courts were in session , nnd the
attorneys congregated in their onices and ills- ,
cussed ills character. Death always smoothes
out the corrugations and softens the hard
asperities of men's characters , and thcro nro
.seldom any hard words spoken of the dead ,
but only when men have lived in a manner
to moot the whole approbation of their fel
low men will such universal words of re
spect and sorrow Do spoken ns those that
fell from the lips of Colonel Sapp's associates
and acquaintances yesterday afternoon as
they discussed his life and work. Few men
In the city were known better than he , and
the sorrow that was so universally felt
when his death was announced reached
down into the 'humbler strata of society ,
where his generous unostentatious charity
bus Bought nnd rclloved suffering for years.
few men have extended moro generous
and practical help to young men who were
just starting in life than Colonel Sapp , nnd
many of the most prominent members of the
bar in the city today received their first start
and most constant nnd practical encourage
ment in their profession from him. A num
ber of the most prominent and successful
younger members of the bar either studied
law with him or were taken into his ofllee
after they were admitted and assisted until
they had earned a sell-sustaining position
among their fellows. Many of them admit
that they owe much of their success in their
profession nnd happiness In life to his kindly
assistance nnd advice. While discussing his
character ycsten'ay several of the attorneys
gazed at imaginary objects on the walls oi
their ofllces though eyes that glistened with
tears of genuine sorrow.
Colonel Sapp was ono of the pioneers oi
Council Bluffs and western Iowa. Ho wu *
born at Danville , Knox count v , Ohio , In the
year 1S24. His father died when ho was ten
years of age , but ho wns given an acadcink
education at the Martinsburg academy In his
native county. Ho studied law with lion ,
Columbus DeLano , and an uncli. W. K.Sapp
In Juno , 1830 , lie was admitted to the
bar at Kenton , and immediately
thereafter commenced the practice ol
law at Mt. Vernon. His llrst polit
ical venture was u rare for prosecuting attorney
noy In Knox county , Ohio , in ISr.O. With 801
majority against him , ho came within thir
teen votes of election. Ho wns elected to this
place in 1SH ( and again In 185(1. ( Deccmbei
that year ho married Mary C. Brown und ii
ISt'iO with his family removed to Omaha
Hero a year later ho was appointed adjutant
goucral , nnd in the tall of that year ho wa
chosen a member of the territorial legislative
council from Douglas county. Ho entered , the
union army in 18(12 ( , serving until his rcgl
mcnt was mustered out of service. In IbiH
ho removed to this city , where ho has slnci
resided. A year after taking up hlsresulcnci
hero ho was elected a member of the legisla
ture. Ho served with distinction , securim
the location of the dcnf nnd dumb instltuti
for this city. During General Grant's llrsi
term as president Colonel Sapp served 11 :
United States district attorney. Ho was i
member of the Forty-fifth niid Forty-slxtl
congresses , and In 1SSI was a member of tin
republican electoral college.
Ho was ono of the founders of the Councl
Hind's Insurance company , and at tlio tlmo o
his death was heavily interested in it am
held tbo position ot president.
As a lawyer ho stood high , nnd nt lilsdcntt
wns the senior member of tbo Hrm of Sapp t
Suscy. Mr. Snpp was a public spirited citl
zcn and took great interest in the welfare am
growth of Council Bluffs. Ho owned ono o
the lluest farms In the country. As a Inwyo
ho wns the recognl/cd bend of the Pottawnt
tnmte bar. He stood high in the councils o
his colleagues , and his opinion wns glvci
respect and consideration by all. A
u citizen ho will bo missed. Ho was ahvay
ready to servo In the defense of Councl
Bluffs. Ho was identified with many of th
public spirited moves made , nnd when cnllei
upon to assist ho was ever ready with hi
personal influence nnd , if necessary , Ills prl
vnto capital. Ho was a liberal contributor t
St. Paul's church , and wns one of the owner
of the driving park. In his death Counci

So in this respect discipline is dojcctlvc.
"Again , judging from the criticism made

limits both ofllccr and man for the trials of
war. A good soldier does not want to bo
coddled. Ho wants to do his duty nnd if ho
'ails ho wants to bo brought up In it. Frame
your rules and regulations and hold every

peculiar , mincing step , and his eccentricities
of movement , rather than anything Impres
sive in manner and inli-n , attract attention to
ilm. Who Is that I it Is the natural quei >
tlou of a stranger when ho sees the llttlo old
man glide along the street. It is Uev. James
VM ( , attorney nnd counsellor at law. Do-
splto the wear and weight of nearly four
score years the old gentleman has qulto u
youthful vliror of both mind nnd
jody. llo has a history , and his reminis
cences cover a variety or experiences. " Yos. "
losuys , "I've ' been engaged in u good munv
duds of business , 1 have been n brick-
naher , have run a threshing machine , been a
'armor , n painter , u school toaohor , a minis

As u preacher I have always boon n Mo tho-

Congregational churches , ono Presbyterian ,
und for a year in Council Bluffs , as you
know , I was pastor of the United Brethren
church. You sco , I don't preach about doc
trines , but the pure blblo teachings. "
Among the Interesting reminiscences which
cropped out in a chut with this Intelligent old
gentleman was ono concerning his early ac
quaintance with Lincoln ana Douglas.
"I know them both. I served two sessions
In the Illinois legislature with Abraham Lin
coln. I was elected In IS',13 from Montgomery
county. Lincoln was elected from the ad joinIng -
Ing county , Sauiramoii. I have often laughed
about Lincoln's remark'that I was four times
as smart as he , for it took four men to repre
sent Snngamon county , and I was the only
ono from Montgomery county. Lincoln was
the most ungainly , awkward young man
I over saw. When ho llrst ran for the
leglslaterc , It was treated a good deal ns a
great joke. Everybody laughed nt him , and
many supported him just as a joke on the
fellow who was running against him. and
who was considered about the brightest man
In that part of the country. It soon became
evident that It was moro than a joke. Lin
coln was elected by a largo majority , and
when ho Began to show himself by his
speeches they all quit their smiling , turn went
to admiring. There was n great difference
between Douclas and Lincoln. Douglas
could adapt himself to any society that ho
iiappcned to bo In. When he was in a crowd
of the boys , having a good time in some
saloon ho was ono of them , and
ho could step right from there into
the finest parlor in the land , and chat as
gracefully aud charmingly with the ladies as
though ho had never heard a rough word in
his whole life. Lincoln could not do that.
He was jilst the same everywhere.
"I knew Douglas better than I did Lincoln ,
for I studied law with Douglas. That was in
about'i(5 : ( 1 think. Douglas was himself a
boy , almost. Ho hud been Just admitted to
practice. That was ut Jacksonville , Illinois.
When 1 came to Jacksonville * had letters to
McConticll , who was the leading attorney
there. I was a stranger to nil of them ,
aud T stepped into the court house ,
where some cases were Dcine heard , and
thought I would look over the attorneys and
sco which impressed mo the most favorably ,
us I wanted to study law with EOIIIO of thorn.
Wbilo I was watching them a slim young
man , with very easy manners , walked iusldu
the bar , and took u scat. I asked who ho
was , and was told that Ills name was Doug
las , His looks so impressed me , and there
was something so attractive about him that I
made up my mind right away that ho was
the ono I wanted to study with. I did not
present my letter to McConnell , but ut ouco
made the acquaintance of Douglas and en
tered his otllco as u student. Douglas was
not only young , but he was poor. Ho did
not own even a law book.
"Ho had no ofllce , cither , that is ho had
none of his own. The Judge of the probate
court gave young Douglas permission to use
his oftlce In the court house , and McConncll
loaned him the books that lie needed. This
was the olllco und thesis the books tuut I
gained tlio privilege of using , und thus I
studied law with Douglas.
"One day Douglas said to mo : 'Fisk , if I
had n horse and a llttlo money I would ride
over to Vandnlla and try to get elected dis
trict attorney. ' Vandalia was then the capi
tal'where the legislature met , and It was
then in session. The district uttorncps were
elected by the legislature , and so ho thought
ho might as well try for the position in his
district , but lie had no momoy or horse for
the trip. I had an old white horse which
wasn't of much account , but I told Douglas
ho could have the use of that ami welcome ,
and I also loaned him W , which was nil the
money I had. He took it gratefully , nnd that
afternoon or evening started for Vanduliu on
tbo back of the old white horso. Ho rode all
night and made only twenty-live miles. It
was awfully dark , the road was across n prai
rie and some of the time ho had to feel hla
way. The next morning ho rode into Van-
aalin , and the next day the election took
place. Douglas was elected district attor
ney , although J. J. Hardln , the most popular
man in the district , ran against him.
"That was the llrst ofllco Douglas over
hold. From that time on ho advanced rap.
Idly. I remember when ho run against Stew
art for congress. The district had grown
wonderfully in population since tno appor
tionment uml districting , so that when thri
election took place each of the candidates hud
over eighteen thousand votes. Stewart beat
Douglas by only twelve votes. Douglas told
mo that ho was certain that ho could win 11
ho could contest the election , but said
ho , 'What am I to del I haven't , any money
to go to Washington with and to fight the
case. ' So ho let it drop.
"I never saw Douglas after that. I drifted
off to the south , and while I watched his
brilliant career with much interest I novot
had the pleasure of meeting him again. When
I knew him ho was very slight and slim. He
didn't ' weigh over 115 pounds. I don't sup
pose I would have known him if I had seen
film when In inter years ho had changed so.
"I never met Lincoln after I left Illinois
until 18H ( , when 1 saw him in Washington ,
I was surprised , foi ho recognized mo at
ouco , In some way our talk brought uj
something about tlio west , nnd Iowa \vn ;
mentioned. Lincoln remarked that It brought
to Ids mind what John A. Marshall , the
mnlncnt Kentucky jurist , had told him i
llttlo before. Mai-shall told Lincoln that
ho had a son who had drlftoi :
west , und had located in Counrl
Bluffs. The boy had written hart
to his father that ho was In need of help , ani
his father had just responded , accompanying
the remittance with the romarit that ho hai
understood that Council Bluffs was ono o
the most promising places in which an attorney
noy could settle , for the promise was sun
that he would succeed in starving to death
I didn't think then that I would over ucttli
myself In Council Bluffs , hut since 1 havi
Lincoln's remark has often come to me.
