hereinafter sometimes called Bonds of the First through Thirty-
seventh Series; and

     Whereas, Section 8 of the Mortgage provides that the form of
each series of bonds (other than the First Series) issued
thereunder and of the coupons to be attached to the coupon bonds
of such series shall be established by Resolution of the Board of
Directors of the Company and that the form of such series, as
established by said Board of Directors, shall specify the
descriptive title of the bonds and various other terms thereof,
and may also contain such provisions not inconsistent with the
provisions of the Mortgage as the Board of Directors may, in its
discretion, cause to be inserted therein expressing or referring
to the terms and conditions upon which such bonds are to be
issued and/or secured under the Mortgage; and

     Whereas, Section 120 of the Mortgage provides, among other
things, that any power, privilege or right expressly or impliedly
reserved to or in any way conferred upon the Company by any
provision of the Mortgage whether such power, privilege or right
is in any way restricted or is unrestricted, may be in whole or
in part waived or surrendered or subjected to any restriction if
at the time unrestricted or to additional restriction if already
restricted, and the Company may enter into any further covenants,
limitations or restrictions for the benefit of any one or more
series of bonds issued thereunder, or the Company may cure any
ambiguity contained therein or in any supplemental indenture, or
may establish the terms and provisions of any series of bonds
other than said First Series, by an instrument in writing
executed and acknowledged by the Company in such manner as would
be necessary to entitle a conveyance of real estate to record in
all of the states in which any property at the time subject to
the lien of the Mortgage shall be situated; and

     Whereas, the Company now desires to create a new series of
bonds; and

     Whereas, the execution and delivery by the Company of this
Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, and the terms of the bonds
of the Thirty-eighth Series, hereinafter referred to, have been
duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company by
appropriate Resolutions of said Board of Directors;

property hereinbefore described and conveyed and to the estate,
rights, obligations and duties of the Company and Trustees and
the beneficiaries of the trust with respect to said property, and
to the Trustees and their successors as Trustees of said property

property had been owned by the Company at the time of the
execution of the Mortgage, and had been specifically and at
length described in and conveyed to the Trustees by the Mortgage
as a part of the property therein stated to be conveyed.

     The Company further covenants and agrees to and with the
Trustees and their successors in said trust under the Mortgage,
as follows:

                          ARTICLE I.

                 THIRTY-EIGHTH SERIES OF BONDS

     Section A.  1.  There shall be a series of bonds designated
``5.10% Series due 2023'' (herein sometimes referred to as the
``Thirty-eighth Series''), each of which shall also bear the
descriptive title, First Mortgage Bond, and the form thereof,
which is established by Resolution of the Board of Directors of
the Company, shall contain suitable provisions with respect to
the matters hereinafter in this Article I specified.  Bonds of
the Thirty-eighth Series shall be limited to $13,982,500 in
aggregate principal amount, except as provided in Section 16 of
the Mortgage, shall mature on March 1, 2023, and shall be issued
as fully registered bonds in denominations of Five Thousand
Dollars and in any multiple or multiples of Five Thousand Dollars
(except for one Bond of the Thirty-eighth Series, which shall be
in the denomination of $2,500 or any integral multiple thereof). 
Bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall bear interest at the rate
of 5.10% per annum, payable semi-annually on March 1 and
September 1 of each year, the first payment to be made on
September 1, 1994 for the period from March 1, 1994 to September
1, 1994.  The principal of and interest on bonds of the Thirty-
eighth Series shall be payable at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the
time of payment is legal tender for public and private debts. 
Bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall be dated as in Section 10
of the Mortgage provided.

     2.  Upon the redemption, in whole or in part, of the City of
La Cygne, Kansas, Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds
(Kansas Gas and Electric Company Project) Series 1994
(hereinafter referred to as the ``1994 La Cygne Bonds''), issued
under the Indenture of Trust, dated as of March 1, 1994
(hereinafter referred to as the ``La Cygne Indenture''), of the
City of La Cygne, Kansas, bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall
be redeemed in whole or in like part.  To effect the redemption
of bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series, the trustee under the La
Cygne Indenture (hereinafter referred to as the ``La Cygne
Trustee'') shall deliver to the Corporate Trustee (and mail a
copy thereof to the Company) a written demand (hereinafter
referred to as a ``La Cygne Redemption Demand'') for the
redemption of bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series equal in
principal amount to the principal amount of the 1994 La Cygne
Bonds to be redeemed.  The La Cygne Redemption Demand shall be
signed by the President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice
President or a Trust Officer of the La Cygne Trustee and shall
state:  (1) the aggregate principal amount of the 1994 La Cygne
Bonds then outstanding under the La Cygne Indenture; (2) the
principal amount of the 1994 La Cygne Bonds to be redeemed;
(3) the interest thereon to be payable on the redemption date;
(4) the redemption date and that notice thereof has been given as
required in the La Cygne Indenture; (5) in the case of an
optional redemption of the 1994 La Cygne Bonds, that there are
sufficient available funds in the Bond Fund established pursuant
to the La Cygne Indenture to effect such redemption; and (6) that
the Corporate Trustee is thereby instructed to call for
redemption bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series equal in principal
amount to the principal amount of the 1994 La Cygne Bonds
specified in (2) above.  The La Cygne Redemption Demand shall
also contain a waiver of notice of such redemption by the La
Cygne Trustee, as holder of all bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series
then outstanding.  The Corporate Trustee may conclusively presume
the statements contained in the La Cygne Redemption Demand to be
correct.  Redemption of bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall
be at the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, together
with accrued interest to the redemption date, and such amount
shall become and be due and payable on the redemption date.  The
Company hereby covenants that, if a La Cygne Redemption Demand
shall be delivered to the Corporate Trustee, the Company, subject
to subdivision (III) of this Article I, will deposit, on or
before the redemption date, with the Corporate Trustee, in
accordance with Article X of the Mortgage, an amount in cash
sufficient to redeem the bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series so
called for redemption.

     3.   All bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall be pledged
by the Company with the La Cygne Trustee to secure the payment of
the principal of, and interest on, the 1994 La Cygne Bonds.  The
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of and interest on bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series
shall be fully or partially, as the case may be, satisfied and
discharged to the extent that, at the time that any such payment
shall be due, the then due principal of and interest on the 1994
La Cygne Bonds shall have been fully or partially paid, or there
shall be in the Bond Fund established pursuant to the La Cygne
Indenture sufficient available funds to fully or partially pay
the then due principal of and interest on the 1994 La Cygne
Bonds.  The Corporate Trustee may conclusively presume that the
obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the
principal of and interest on bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series
shall have been fully satisfied and discharged unless and until
the Corporate Trustee shall have received a written notice from
the La Cygne Trustee, signed by its President, a Vice President
or a Trust Officer, stating (i) that timely payment of the
principal of or interest on the 1994 La Cygne Bonds required to
be made by the Company has not been made, (ii) that there are not
sufficient available funds in the Bond Fund to make such payment,
and (iii) the amount of funds, in addition to available funds in
the Bond Fund, required to make such payment.

     4.   At the option of the registered owner, any bonds of the
Thirty-eighth Series, upon surrender thereof, for cancellation,
at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, shall be exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of bonds of the same series of other
authorized denominations.  The bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series
may bear such legends as may be necessary to comply with any law
or with any rules or regulations made pursuant thereto or with
the rules or regulations of any stock exchange or to conform to
usage with respect thereto.

     5.   Bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series shall be transferable
upon the surrender thereof, for cancellation together with a
written instrument of transfer in form approved by the registrar
duly executed by the registered owner or by his duly authorized
attorney, at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York.

                          ARTICLE II.

                   MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS


     Section A.  All bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series acquired
by the Company shall forthwith be delivered to the Corporate
Trustee for cancellation.

     Section B.  Section 64 of the Mortgage is hereby deleted in
its entirety.

     Section C.  Subject to the amendments provided for in this
Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, the terms defined in the
Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented, shall, for all purposes of
this Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture, have the meanings
specified in the Mortgage, as heretofore supplemented.

     Section D.  The Trustees hereby accept the trusts herein
declared, provided, created or supplemented and agree to perform
the same upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and in
the Mortgage, as heretofore amended and supplemented, and upon
the following terms and conditions:

     The Trustees shall not be responsible in any manner
whatsoever for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of
this Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture or for or in respect of
the recitals contained herein, all of which recitals are made by
the Company solely.  In general, each and every term and
condition contained in Article XVI of the Mortgage, as heretofore
amended and supplemented, shall apply to and form part of this
Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture with the same force and
effect as if the same were herein set forth in full with such
omissions, variations and insertions, if any, as may be
appropriate to make the same conform to the provisions of this
Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture.

     Section E.  Subject to the provisions of Article XV and
Article XVI of the Mortgage, as heretofore amended and
supplemented, whenever in this Thirty-eighth Supplemental
Indenture any of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this
shall be deemed to include the successors or assigns of such
party, and all the covenants and agreements in this Thirty-eighth
Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company
or by or on behalf of the Trustees shall bind and inure to the
benefit of the respective successors and assigns of such parties
whether so expressed or not.

     Section F.  Nothing in this Thirty-eighth Supplemental
Indenture, expressed or implied, is intended, or shall be
construed, to confer upon, or to give to, any person, firm or
corporation, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the
bonds and coupons Outstanding under the Mortgage, any right,
remedy or claim under or by reason of this Thirty-eighth
Supplemental Indenture or any covenant, condition, stipulation,
promise or agreement hereof, and all the covenants, conditions,
stipulations, promises and agreements in this Thirty-eighth
Supplemental Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company
shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties
hereto, and of the holders of the bonds and of the coupons
Outstanding under the Mortgage.

     Section G.  The Company reserves the right, subject to
appropriate corporate action, but without any consent or other
action by holders of bonds of the Thirty-eighth Series or of any
subsequent series of bonds, to make such amendments to the
Mortgage, as supplemented, as shall be necessary in order to (A)
permit the issuance of additional Prior Lien Bonds other than to
the Corporate Trustee (i) in a principal amount not to exceed the
principal amount of Bonds which could then be issued on the basis
of Property Additions under the Mortgage or (ii) upon the
redemption or retirement of Prior Lien Bonds secured by such
Prior Lien, (B) to remove the requirement that Prior Lien Bonds
be issued to the Corporate Trustee, (C) remove the provisions of
Article V which eliminate from the calculation of unfunded net
Property Additions available for issuance of Bonds the amount of
any Property Additions subject to a Prior Lien if the aggregate
amount of Outstanding Prior Lien Bonds is 15% or more of the sum
of the Outstanding Bonds and Prior Lien Bonds, and (D) make such
other amendments to the Mortgage as may be necessary or desirable
in the opinion of the Company to effect the foregoing.

     Section H.  This Thirty-eighth Supplemental Indenture shall
be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an
original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same
