This Statement supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally
filed by Western with the Commission on December 5, 1997, as amended by
Amendment No. 1, filed with the Commission on November 29, 1999, and Amendment
No. 2, filed with the Commission on January 27, 2000 (as amended, the "Schedule
13D").

         The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is: ONEOK,
Inc., 100 West Fifth Street, Tulsa, Oklahoma 74103.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

         No change with respect to Western.

Western. It is a holding company that has investments in the energy-related and

ITEM 5.  INTERESTS IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         (a) Western, through Westar, its wholly owned subsidiary, beneficially
owns 2,166,273 shares of Common Stock and 19,946,448 shares of Series A
Convertible Preferred Stock. The shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting
Persons constitute 7.42% of the outstanding Common Stock as of January 25, 2000.
Upon conversion of the shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, the
Reporting Persons would beneficially own 45% of the outstanding Common Stock;
however such shares are not currently convertible and the Reporting Persons do
not expect the conditions for conversion to occur within the next 60 days.

         (b) Pursuant to a Shareholder Agreement, dated as of November 26, 1997
(the "Shareholder Agreement"), between Western and the Issuer, the Reporting
Persons have the shared power to vote and to dispose of 2,166,273 shares of
Common Stock, and any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned following
conversion of the 19,946,448 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock.

         (c) Western sold 18,082 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer on January
26, 2000 at a price of $27.3199 per share of Common Stock. Such shares were
required to be sold by Western to the Issuer by the Shareholder Agreement as a
result of the Issuer's open market purchases of Common Stock in a share
repurchase program. On February 29, 2000, Western transferred 2,166,273 shares
of Common Stock and 19,946,448 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Securities"), which are convertible into an additional 19,946,448 shares
of Common Stock in certain circumstances (the conditions for which are not
expected to occur within the next 60 days), to Westar, its wholly owned
subsidiary.

         As required pursuant to Section 3.4(b) of the Shareholder Agreement,
Westar has agreed to be bound by the terms of the Shareholder Agreement with
respect to the Securities. A copy of the Shareholder Agreement, as well as a
description of certain terms thereof, are contained in the Schedule 13D and are
hereby incorporated by reference. Except as otherwise set forth in this
Statement, neither Western, nor to the best of Western's knowledge, any
executive officer or director of Western, beneficially owns any Common Stock or
has engaged in any transaction in any such shares since Western's most recent
filing on Schedule 13D/A, filed January 27, 2000.

         (d)-(e) Not applicable.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

         No change.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

         Exhibit A       Identity of Executive Officers and Directors of Westar
                         Capital, Inc.
