Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, June 6, 1885

     Paris is cleared of rats; by her municpal council offering a premium for their skins. Two years ago the premium was $3 per 1,ooo, but has recently been raised to $10 per 1,000, in order to get the city cleared of the pests. The kid-glove makers utilize the skins, buying them from the city.
